This is a repost of a 3/27/07 blog that Andrew did for Melodic. Thats Andrew up above, seated near Professor Iha at the nonstop Fader SXSW '07 day party. Thought it was appropriate to slap the content on here as well. Take it away Andrew...****
The last few months:
Writing music/lyrics for our new record. Added two new songs to set (Fail Tonite, Natural Badge)
Sharpening musical skills as well as adding new members to the Isles
Adding rooms to our studio and our house
Isles@SXSW - - Ben tried to bring a knife on the plane. We landed in a thunderstorm. Processed so much music, free beer and queso that our brains, livers and stomachs nearly burst. Really enjoyed playing an acoustic set for XMU radio. Great to see Dave and Will from melodic. I thought that I caught something from the air mattress that I slept on but I’m ok.
Recording a full length for another project - Should be done by summer.
Working 9-5…………………….9-5….9-5………………….9-5………9-5
103 fever. Thank you tylenol for preventing brain and other organ damage
Read War and Piece, GBV biography
Got someone else to read Ayn Rand
I need a new book (or bunch of them) if anyone has a suggestion
I saw 300. Giant piece of shit but entertaining. I saw it in a ghetto theatre and everyone applauded when it was done as if they’d just seen empire strikes back.
I saw Zodiac. B-.
I saw the Departed. It was fantastic.
One of my favorite movies is Martin, by George A. Romero. Apperantly it’s Romero’s favorite work. I dressed up as Martin for Halloween and no-one got it.
If you havn’t seen the original texas chainsaw massacre you probably should. I had my doubts but it ruled. Amazing visuals and feel that can’t be duplicated.
I watched Blue Velvet last night. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I lost the Oscar pool that I won last year. The results are contested.
