so the show went exceedingly well. lots of poeple showed up, and what’s more, lots showed up with potluck food items, so we all ate real well. cool breeze went on first and really wowed everyone with a whole mess of great, funny, touching, simple songs. he says that a lot of the time when he writes songs he makes them totally ridiculously sad so he can look back when it’s done and say “oh, that’s ridiculous– it’s not that bad”. so there were a lot of “awwwww…”s from the crowd, and he didn’t mess up or anything. a really great performance. i can’t wait until he finishes his tape, it’s going to fucking rule it.
adam’s opinion was up next (one guy- named adam) and he played guitar and sang some songs pretty good. brendon massei got up after him and did some real murder ballad kind of stuff, big story arcs that go through seven songs with returning themes and everything, with a limited dynamic range, but powerful dynamics (only loud or soft, no middle ground). it was great. finishing off the night of white guys in their twenties playing acoustic guitars, i played all those songs i wrote recently about serach requests, about which i believe i have sufficiently written. this was my set: old fashioned bindle, parakeet illnesses, history of sour candy, carnival straws, GISM “endless blockades for the pussyfooter” +lyrics, plastic seagulls, LOLABRIGIDA, the smell of old record sleeves. yes, i did a GISM cover, and yes, i did the sakevi voice and everything (well, not everything– i guessed on the bridge, where he says what sounds like “we will send you the lipstick / we will send you the bomb”). i will be recording these songs, and hopefully writing more along the same lines, and when i do i’ll post the lyrics, so people searching for these things can potentially get the information they request. working title for this album is “foreign policy”.
oh yeah, thanks all my friends who came out, it made me really psyched. everyone who missed it, i’m planning another house show in a month or so maybe? maybe for right before btzt?
