SEBASTIAN BACH IS THE RYAN SEACREST OF METAL.

neeed....moar....customers.....

I'm really not sure if this store thing is going to work, and it's pretty scary. the biggest hurdle that I can Imagine is being able to obtain enough merch to make a living off of. most items I purchase go for anywhere from 2x to 4x of what I paid for it, but some items I'm able to sell for ten-fold.

I spent about 100 today on merch (excluding the microwave) which means roughly 300$ profit.

Because we'll need to do about 75$ avg net profit daily in order to pay all our bills, that makes me worried.

but then again, consignment pieces will help alot as well as the multitude of records. I know we're getting good exposure through word of mouth (verify'd through multiple sources) and the flyers are...well, flying out of the places I've left them.

I just don't know...I'm just so tired of doing set-up stuff... I feel burned out... I'm pretty sure I'm gonna just hand the reins to Janette for this week. She's just so much better with subtle/asthetic stuff.

also, something that will help me alot is people coming to my store to sell stuff to me....that would be awesome.


I think it's very possible for this to be me and my family's "meal ticket"... It's just that certain puzzle pieces are ALMOST missing....or perhaps ever so slightly out of reach.


I'm pretty sure I'm just burned out right now.

THE BLACK DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON: THE AWAKENING from John Verchot on Vimeo.

THIS AMAZES ME... yet I distictly remember this as being far, far from our best rehersal.
at this time, I am amazed that I was this proficient at the bass and I wrote songs that were that good.
I am so fucking pissed off at other people for not letting me play live but more-so myself for cutting my finger up so carelessly.
matt loer I still love you, and we will resume at a later date. THAT IS A THREAT AND A PROMISE AND A FACT.

Great name for a swing band: Enron Don and the Questionable Business Practices.

CHILLAXEN LIKE BILL PAXTON

I mean obviously...

I'm good, the band is coming along well. I think I've about got all the equipment I need, though I really would like a loop pedal. I could definitely use that.
Here's the songs we've got so far:

-Killer Unicorn
-Fire and bees
-If the meek shall inherit the earth (then we'll take to the sky)
-Flight of the Timberwolf
-Wooden room.

Our songs are pretty weird. fire and bees and Wooden Room are the closest things to a traditional song... I think that our band is mainly going to be "Instru-metal", with minimal lyrics...I really don't like bands without ANY lyrics....all the songs tend to bleed together. There are several songs I'd like to cover, but our setup is so weird that most songs really don't translate well at all. one of them that I haven't tried yet is "pumpin 4 the man" by ween....maybe. OOH! I just had a great idea! we should try "enjoy the silence" by depeche mode! I'll give it a shot. Hey you never know...

I forgot about an song I wrote on a casio keyboard some 3-5 years ago called "Monster Truck Driver" I think it will translate very well for The Black Descendants of Thomas Jefferson.

I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna go to all the county fairs
I wanna wear leather pants and a strong mustache

I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver

I wanna live off chicken-on-a-stick.
I want carnies to be my best friends
I wanna smell like diesel fuel, and stale cigarettes.

I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver
I wanna be a monster truck driver

Pulitzer shit, I know.

if I'm not mistaken, you can click on here, then look under songs on my stickam player and listen to it.

So, How you doing internet?
good to hear.....

Yeah I just haven't been on here cause I been livin life like one of those lady's in a tampon commercial: dooin stuff. (minus the walking great-danes while rollerblading)

working on "The Black Decendants of Thomas Jefferson" alot,
raise'n babies alot more...

the internet is probably right in assuming that overweight women use a rhyming dictionary

just for fun

me and lil' matt started a band called freddy cougar . I play a heavily mod'd bass and he plays drums.
HIS UNCLE IS A PASTOR AT A CHURCH, AND THEY HAVE A MUSIC BASEMENT!!!!! WE MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO PRACTICE AS MUCH AS TWICE A WEEK! so that's good. rehersal space is hard to find. seriously. like hard. like bob dole boner hard.

I posted this to em411:
I'm tired of this (electronic music). I'm getting no-where, not enough people care, I'm having too much trouble playing live, can't find the money to do a proper release. I'm tired of doing so much fiddley work. and I'm getting into one of those "uninspired" cycles. so I quit. so there. no more electronic music (for a while anyways)

No, I'm not really "quiting", I'm not selling everything and buying fishing poles and booze. (besides, I only fish with a cain pole and crickets) I'm definitely not quitting music. Ironically enough, I just got moved into my house and now I have an honest-to-god studio! let me tell you about my latest musical project.........I've dusted off my bass guitar, taken the low-string off, moved the rest of the strings down to where the high string was missing, and replaced it with a banjo string. then I tuned the thing to 5ths (E B C# F# I think?) I'm looking to procure these pedals : digitech whammy, boss super overdrive, and the boss oc-2 (octave pedal) basically I'm copying brian gibson's (lightning bolt) setup. I'm gonna run all that through a 60 w keyboard amp and the biggest bass amp I can get my hands on. I'm also looking for a drummer.( I know quite a few, so this shouldn't be a huge problem) Musically, I'm aiming for something between lightningbolt and death from above, but i'm pretty sure It will end up sounding like ween. (which is cool with me)
Working with an alternate tuning is alot like learning to play again... it's exciting!

politics in summary

it affects his allergies so bad.

people yelling.

quebec

they're like the Europeans of North America.

On the other hand, you have different fingers....

Things are looking up!, I'm working to secure gigs in Birmingham, Atlanta, and chattanooga and I'm getting positive feedback! I still don't have any money for my album release though...
I bought a house and I've been really damn busy with it. We're getting central air put in which is REALLY AWESOME and going to save us a bunch of money. Also, my brother in law volunteered to paint the rooms for us! So if you want people to do stuff for you, name a kid after them.

a great band name...

...would be "The Black Descendants of Thomas Jefferson"
Now I have to find some black people who can tolerate me to make this happen...

tired of trying

This sucks. my album was supposed to be finished in january (all my fault), and me and jason don't have enough money to do a proper release. I can't tour to promote it, and I live in fucking Decatur AL.



this sucks. I'm so depressed.
