I've Got The Funk In My Trousers
02.16.07 (12:12 pm) [edit]Making black beans and rice. Jalapenos, cumin, garlic, pepper. Shitloads of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. My kinda eatin'. Grand Funk is the soundtrack.
I really enjoy having these kind of times with Katie, having her stay overnight and taking her to school in the morning. She woke up very sweet and happy and ready for her day.
I'm leaving in a couple hours for Indiana. No gig this weekend, just teaching. I'd planned on calling off students and staying here this time, but I'm going to wait a few weeks for the next band week off. Tonight I'll go by the place I'm doing my solo gig next week, and get an idea of what PA will be available. They have their own shit, I'm just not sure how much of it yet.
Working up ideas, many of which seem perfectly normal to me, but fucked if I know. The left-field ideas of taking form nicely, and I do intend on a bit of audio fuckery. But mostly I'm gonna play a lot of Zevon, Neil Young, and Pink Floyd covers, so it shouldn't be too scary this time around.
We're now scheduled at the place we played last Friday on Friday April 13th, my birthday. It would be cool to be at one of the more rockin' places, but I like it there too. I'll be turning 37, so there will be Monty Python references.
Supposedly getting with D tonight, but she just wrote to say that her mom just went into the hospital this morning. I hope she's OK, And I hope D is too - she's got enough to stress her out right now already.
Ahh, yes. Sin's A Good Man's Brother. Sing it, Mr. Farner.
Oh, yeah, just thought of this - I dropped a bit of margarine on the floor while making the rice, and found myself saying "Damn! Shit! Damn! Shit!" Twice, like that.
Then I suddenly began laughing my ass off going "Damnshit! Damnshit! Damnshit!" Try it as one word, kids! It's FUN!
Love,
Dougie

Please play a cover of "Excitable Boy" with a live re-enactment. I would feel better about the world knowing that somebody somewhere was pantomiming an exhumation of a teenage girls body.
And Kudos on Monty Python fandom. No one has yet responded favorably when I asked them for their lupines.

I hope you'll understand that any comment left here containing the phrase "a teenage girl's body" is going to send me into fits of uncontrollable mad-scientist-cackling laughter.
I'd learn Excitable Boy solo, but there's no fucking way I can top the insane piano playing Warren does on the live Learning To Flinch version. But I do love that fucking song and have considered putting a gun to my band's heads and forcing them to let me sing it with them.

I went to college with a guy named Dennis Moore. Since this was a (very) technical college, Monty Python script knowledge was practically on the admissions form. It was also an all-guys' school at the time I went there. It was a real lucky thing I wasn't still a virgin when I got there, 'cos it was sure as hell not a good environment for recovering from that situation.

Yeah, I can't exactly see a horde of hot drunken sorority girls descending on a table of geeks singing the Camelot song and demanding to suck their cocks. It would make for a great porn movie, but...
