the boss rocks the local insane asylum

Wow. It's just what I've always needed: the indie rock fake how-to.



Last night, I went to see Ultimate Fake Book, et al. My oh my! Ultimate Fake Book rocked my fucking face off! Their drummer is so awesome and SO rock'n'roll. Phew. I'm going to have to buy some of their stuff!

All the bands that played were really good, except Further Seems Forever; I didn't even stay to watch them. Ugh.

And then we ran into The Foosball Princess. She ran up and hugged me and Jesse. She's so cute. Jesse told her that we wrote a song about her. Heh. Now we have to record it.

I also ran into this girl that was in band with me in highschool. I couldn't remember her name, and felt like a jerk when she remembered mine. Oh, well.



School is going to suck next Monday and Tuesday. I have three tests and I need to study for all of them if I want to do well. Ugh. And I have all this stuff that I want to do this weekend. I'm supposed to go to a Halloween party this Saturday and I'm supposed to dressup and whatnot. I don't even know for sure what I'd want to wear. And I'm supposed to have band practice Saturday morning and Sunday sometime. Blegh. I need to get my shit together.



I'm thinking that I want to buy a 1970's Fender Telecaster. I have this unusual urge to buy and play a guitar that is older than me.

Speaking of Fender Tele's, I was just reading an article about Bruce Springsteen. I love this quote:

The first day I can remember looking in a mirror and being able to stand what I was seeing was the day I had a guitar in my hand.
Also addressed in the article, were some of the locations that The Boss's earliest bands played in, including the Elks Club, the Roller-drome, Sing Sing, and the local insane asylum, which the boys found more disconcerting than the prison. We were always terrified at the asylum, Bruce explained. One time this guy in a suit got up and introduced us for twenty minutes, sayin' we were greater than the Beatles. Then the doctors came up and took him away. Damn, that's funny.
