Current Listening: Exodus- Bonded by Blood

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKEND

I saw Fucked Up for the third time this weekend. Andrew WK played keyboards and they did Chemistry of Common Life in its entirety. They also played "Crusades," "Baiting the Public," and "David Comes to Life." I lost a glasses lens and had to go back to Kinderhook on Friday to get my other pair. Fuck.

Anyway, my new band, Polluted Bitch-Hound, played its second show Saturday night, and our first as a three-piece. We honestly were tighter than we were as a two-piece, and everyone seemed to think the bass adds a lot. Here is a picture of the show:
I am not in it. I was sitting behind that thing with bottles on top of it and pipes coming out. That's our hot water heater, but I drummed a good set. We played four originals and a Stooges cover. We did not fuck up all the time and people were into it. I really like our band. Sweet.

Today I saw IRON LUNG. Holy fucking shit their guitarist played through three full stacks. Incredible.

Doing Arabic now.

These days

So I'm pretty much exhausted all the time. I've overexerted myself in every way. Arabic is killing me, and I refuse to pass up any opportunities to be in bands and shit. I'm playing shows with three different bands this weekend, starting today, Thursday 9/29.

Anyway, not a whole lot else is going on, except...
A lot of shitty, shitty things have happened this year. I've been depressed for almost all of it, and for most of the time I haven't been depressed, I've been setting myself up for even greater levels of depression. At my lowest I had a "moment" with a band I just saw on Monday... oh, their name? EYEHATEGOD.

Fuck fuck fuck it was phenomenal. Best show of this year.

Anyway, while I'm excited about all the music I'm playing with all the bands I'm doing, the one that stands out is called POLLUTED BITCH-HOUND. I play skins, Quinn yells and twangs the six-string, Ian plucks away at the four-string. We have some songs which I will provide links to. They were recorded in my basement on a computer mic on different days. The sound is pretty uniform except that I think my drumming improves on each successive one. I forget the order though.

POLLUTED BITCH-HOUND - HOME DEMOS

Only "High Atop the Mountain" is a finalized name. Enjoy especially if you like Deep Purple and that kinda shit.

HMM

I feel like observant people may be able to see the direction this blog's moving in.
