yeah, I'll get to it

hi-ho's and greets to the masses! I am again taking pen... err keys to hand err fingers to write err type. lemme go out and come back in.

hi-ho's and greets to the masses! I am again in front of a keyboard with time on my hands (not really but it will work to push the story along) so i therefore blog. What is on my mind right now? well it has to do with cooking outdoors with beer. not cooking "with" the beer, rather drinking the beer while cooking. and this potent mix of flames and alcohol can only mean one thing: A Cookout!

I have decided to have a gathering at the homestead for the Florida-Miami game September 7th. I know it's over a month away, but if your life is anything like mine i know most of you need that much time to get your crap together. And as always i don’t skimp when i cookout. I wanted to cook something that everyone would enjoy and add to the meaningful animal instincts that are promoted when college boys run around in tight pants jumping on each other while carrying an air-filled parabolic spheroid constructed with the skin of a sow. That's right kiddies... RIBS! to be more precise: ribs of the pork variety. And to top it all off: Turkey. And not just any turkey. Deep Fried Turkey.

If you know me, you're probably invited.

I know that some of you were waiting on my thoughts on the show last night, and I apoligize for not getting them up sooner. Here’s the deal: For those who need it spelled out: Lets just say they blew last night. I cant point to any one thing that was the I-beam on the camel’s back. But, lack of peter, alcohol, and general playing like poo were three of the factors. I do feel kinda responsible for the alcohol thing. (note to self: some bands don’t play better drunk. AND: don’t get those bands drunk right before they play a show).

As for the other bands. I was impressed. Not just impressed, surprised. Imagine this: you decide to put together a band made up of some of the better bands from Gainesville. And not the shitty members either. The ones that felt that there was more out there and wanted to move on to discover that. Today Doesn’t Count would probably be the result.

I realized last night what was missing from Gainesville. And it was solid metal inspired rock. Not the squealing guitar metal that everyone thinks of, but rather the pounding, head banging, smack you in the face metal. Mixed with a touch of emo.

Quick break: Here’s my impression of every singer from every Emo band out there: Daaaaaaaaa daa daa daaaaaaaa daa daa daaaaaaaaaa. (replace the da’s with any one syllable word and repeat). What’s wrong with that? Well it shows your total lack of imagination, and ability to write music. But hey, if you’re okay with that.

Back to Today Doesn’t count: Here’s what they were dealt: 1) They played this show on 5 hours notice. 2) They’ve only been together for a month. 3) This was their first show. So… anyone want to take bets on how it was gonna turn out? Lets just say I’d like to make a prediction based on the result: the complete and total domination of the Gainesville music scene in a year. This was good. I mean real good. I cant wait till the show on the 7th at the side bar. All I can say is that you better be there. And since it will be their first “official” show. You technically could be there from the beginning on this one.
