A Post of Laughter and Forgetting

So I've been just busy enough lately to not want to even log in here and complete a post with no links or pictures or video. There's been some events going on that's made me quite excited though, so let's at least get to those.

Stuff:

Went to AFI Dallas to check out a doc on Joy Division. I wrote a review of it for The Tripwire, it hasn't been posted yet, so if it does, I'll link to it. If it doesn't, I'll post it here. It was awesome.

Music:

{{{Sunset}}} - from the former bassist of Sound Team, Bill Baird. The new album released last week, Bright Blue Dream. It really stinking good. It also turns out to be one of those albums thats very influencial on your life. In the way that it makes you want to also create.

Which leads me to this...

My band.

There's a tentative title to it... Chris and Doug. That's mostly a joke, but it's the best thing we've got right now, and we needed a name so... there it is. Chris and Doug.

So far we've got three songs recorded as demos. Two of them are posted on a MySpace page, which you can find if you want. I don't want to link to it until we've gotten some better takes done. But the good news is, the bandmate, Dan, just got a job in Austin, so he'll be moving down here in the next couple of weeks. So there will be some serious happenings in the next month or so. Get ready. Well don't get too ready, because we don't want you to be an inappropriate amount of ready for when the time comes to actually show you the songs, for they may not require you to be quite THAT ready. So maybe just look forward to it a little. Sort of like a nice surprise that might spring up on you like a beautiful day. Not that we really sound like a beautiful day. That would be nice. I would say we probably sound like rambling. Rambling Pop Music. Neurotic Rambling Pop. Neurotically Unsure but Rambling Pop Music. That'll do for now. Thanks everyone.
