HEAVY ROTATION 7

2009-05-31T20:41:00.000-07:00

Billy Bragg- "Must I Paint You a Picture? The Essential Billy Bragg"
Alkaline Trio- "Remains" (i love this record because they had so many solid songs that never appeared on full-lengths.)
Jimmy Eat World- "Bleed American" (this record has probably one of my favorite ever lead off songs.)
Bomb the Music Industry!- "Scrambles" (honestly, honestly, honestly one of my favorite records in a loooong time. the energy captured on that record is something else, man. so crazy it was recorded for less than $50. i can rave about this record alot more, maybe i will sometime. you can download it for free here- http://www.quoteunquoterecords.com/qur022.htm - jesus christ go do it!)

did i do enough writing in parentheses? no? ok. good.

and this my friends, is pure, unbridled genius.

HEAVY ROATION 6

2009-05-26T21:59:00.000-07:00

hi. howdy. hello.

The Police- Outlandos d'Amour
The Police- Zenyatta Mondatta (yeah, i know. thats a lot of sting, but goddamn listen to the song "bombs away" and tell that is not one catchy-ass tune. brent and merritt said listening to the police makes them physically ill. they also spend a majority of their day quoting lord of the rings.)
Gallows- Orchestra of Wolves
Jabberjosh- Sports is My Favorite

REPLAY LOUNGE THIS FRIDAY.

THAT IS ALL.

Econo-Lodged

2009-05-21T22:40:00.000-07:00

for some reason, i was thinking about the first show we ever played in lawrence the other day. such a weird and absolutely painful story. this would have been in about 2003, because i'm pretty sure i hadn't moved up here yet. anyway, so check it out- i remember driving up to a show at the bottleneck with some friends, though i can't remember exactly who, maybe spencer, or maybe not. it doesn't matter. i dont even remember what band played honestly. but after the show while everybody was piling out i met this dude that was passing out fliers and somehow we struck up a conversation. he said he was a new promoter in town and was starting to book shows. i thought to my very eager but hugely naive self, "OH FUCK YEAH!". since then i have learned on many more than one occasion that when somebody says "oh yeah, i just started booking at this awesome place, they never used to do shows, but i'm gonna change that!" it almost always translate directly into, "i'm desperate and i have no idea what i'm doing. furthermore, no one will come to this show and it will be a miracle if you get paid." this is true all over the country, man. if you are in a band and reading this- be advised! but hey, if you like being compensated with hot dogs (literally), that's your deal. don't say i didn't warn you.
but anyway, i don't remember the guys name or really anything about him other than he wore big baggy cargo shorts, and had a messenger bag with a "flogging molly" patch on it... or maybe it was "dropkick murphys"... well, whats the fuggin' difference right? hey-o! but yeah, he hooked us up with a show. the first show in lawrence for king tp! and boy howdy we were excited. i remember loading up the mini-van and making the 2 hour drive to find out that this show was at the econo-lodge at 6th and iowa street. now thats pretty strange, eh? the econo-lodge is the location of this shindig? well, whatever, WE'RE PUMPED, (and dumb as shit). we used to be early for every show we played, and i mean fucking eeeaaaarly. like hours early. i'm not sure why, i think we thought it would leave some good impression on the venue/promoter or something. i remember the first time we played a show at el torreon in kc we were like 3 hours early. jesus, we were a real group of Einsteins. we had that shit figured out. but yeah, we were way early and just sat in the lobby for what seemed like eternity. finally we loaded in to the bar of this fucking econo-lodge and got set up. no other bands, just us.
the PA was some utter piece of shit, about one step up from the speakerphone function on a 1999 cell phone. my microphone BARELY worked and all the juice it should have been using to put my beautiful voice in the air was instead going directly into my bottom lip shocking the fuck out of me if i dared touch it. if memory serves me right it was on this fucked up mic stand that wouldn't stay up at all and i fucked with it all night. we FINALLY get to playing our set to like 7 people. the bartender, two poor dudes who just wanted to watch the football game on the TV, two girls from my high-school and... my parents. oh yeah, mom and dad showed up to witness this fucking triumph. the whole time we played the promoter dude ran around nervously in and out of the room. halfway through our set he came up to us and was like, "uh the front desk is totally pissed at me, they say you have to turn it down! everybody in the hotel is complaining!" so naturally, we didn't. haha. in our defense, we were already playing really fucking low so to go down more was pretty out of the question. we were kinda done dealing with this dude's shit by this point. so that was it, we finished the set, packed up and were on our way. i don't remember how we settled up with the dude, i honestly don't even remember talking to him the rest of the night. i have lived here for 6 years now and i've never seen him ever again. sometimes i wonder if we got him fired from the econo-lodge. actually, yep. i think we did.

man, those were the days! and man, that was incoherent.

in other news, al bought a new bass and its pretty fucking rad. he brought it over the other day and i told him to get get sexy with it while i snapped a few. sexxxy is what i got. i kept the steamy ones for myself.

HEAVY ROTATION 5

2009-05-09T22:44:00.000-07:00

YO! sorry, i took a little break from the heavy rotation. like you care.

i finally caved and bought a shitty adapter to play my ipod in the car, thus eliminating the hassle of riffling through my cd's every day and deciding what to haul around in car. pretty sweet. i used to believe that all the talk about cd's dying out was bogus, but i have to say with the way things are going these days i think its very possible. i'm a pretty big fan of vinyl with download card trend. i'm hoping we can do all of our records like that from now, but it is a little spendy. we'll see.

but anyway,from now on there will not be a "home" section and a "car" section. that was stupid anyway.

Fugazi- "Repeater"
Hot Water Music- "Caution"
blink 182- "Dude Ranch"
Explosions in the Sky- "All of the Sudden, I Miss Everyone"
Saves the Day- "Stay What You Are"

in other boring blather-
al and i talked about the who the other day while he changed my oil. i says to him, "how can you like the who and not like baba o'reilly?" he says to me, "man, that song is played out." now... maybe the song is played out. but ALOT of who songs are played out, right? al, watch this video and tell me you can't groove to this song. honestly, one of the coolest live videos i've ever seen.

ps- we got a new trailer!

Thy brow shall be forever wet!

2009-05-01T12:00:00.000-07:00

i got off work early today and grabbed some cheese/cinnamon sticks because it was really slow and i had a nagging hangover and wanted to take a nap this afternoon... BUT instead i fucking came home and just fucked around and read through mark hoppus' twitter for like 30 minutes. i fucking hate twitter... but goddamn, i love mark hoppus.

we all went out to see our friends cowboy indian bear play at the jackpot. pretty schweet. another holiday played too and it was the first time i'd seen them. pretty damn awesome. last night was also merritt's last night drinking for awhile because he decided he should "take a break" during the month of may. but, he loop-holed it so he can still drink at shows... so really he's not taking a break from shit.

well, instead of napping i have to go take care of some errands before we leave for Illinois tonight. dammit.

must. do. ....laundry. egh.

Cashy Money?!

2009-04-25T15:16:00.000-07:00

yo dudes, hows things? things are good here. where is "here" you say? well we are staying at our favorite place to stay on the road, mel and steeve-o's house. they are in brutally frank and by god they always treat us like kings. we came back to the house last night with and they had a 2 huge bags of tacos waiting on us. can you believe that shit? we also got a hot breakfast! but anyway, steeve-o said he saw me sleep walking last night. i carried a plate from their kitchen into the bathroom. yep, makes sense.

now we're watching squidbillies season 2 in its entirety. so fucking funny. if you have never seen squidbillies you need look into that shit.

tonight we're going to kc to play a show with some awesome bands in this loft in the west bottoms, its a fucking cool place. gaslight anthem is playing in kc tonight though, so we can't go and that kinda sucks. but you know, we'll make it work.

Oh, Miss California.

2009-04-24T11:35:00.000-07:00

Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard at least a little bit about the uproar over miss california's answer during the final round of the miss america pageant. first of all, lets get this out of the way. pageants are fucking weird, man. so weird. if you want to get really mad, watch one of those shows about parents that enter their 3 year old daughters in those creepy and horribly sad kiddie pageants... or as i like to call them, "pedophile heaven".

but anyway, i don't know what her name is and i'm too lazy to look it up so from now on, we'll call her "Lil' Miss Cali". ok, so Lil' Miss Cali is one of the finalists in the last round of the miss america pageant-- which means she now has to answer a random judge's question... they do this so that these orange faced, vasaline toothed "beauty queens" can prove that they actually can stumble through an almost coherent thought and maybe spit it out in something that sounds similar to english. lets see what happens...

ok. ... wait, what? yep. she said that.

look, here's the bottom line people. religion is religion. government is government. why is it so hard for you to draw the line? why would a law based on christian rules apply to a religiously free government? people get so lost in this argument in the whole "WELL THAT'S JUST NOT MY BELIEF. THAT'S A SIN. THAT'S AN ABOMINATION." i mean, i've heard christians put homosexuality in the same boat as bestiality and pedophilia. seriously? whatever. i don't give a fuck. you miss the point. america is not your church, and americans are not all christians. believe what you want, but it is not the government's choice of who can marry. and i'm not quite sure how so many christians will fight this tooth and nail, but let so much else slide. it's also pretty clear in the bible that pre-marital sex is a no-no. why don't you want a law banning that? how many christians do you know that have had/are having pre-marital sex? i mean, how is it so hard to see your own hypocrisy? this is not a moral issue, this is a civil rights issue.

at this point, i think its pretty obvious that 50 years from now people will look back at this issue the same way we look back at segregation. its embarrassing.

in other new, we are playing in joplin tonight. should be a hoot.
TIME FOR A HAIRCUT! adios!

A LEANER YOU IN JUST 10 DAYS!

2009-04-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

i've really been trying to get back in shape lately. well... get in shape. saying "back in shape" implies that i was in shape before, i really wasn't-- but i was definitely in better shape than i am now. whatever.
anyway, i've been doing pretty well i'd say. me and jason hit up the rec center on east 15th street several times week. pretty fun over all. but we've really slacked the last week or two, so when we went tonight it totally wailed on my ass. i almost puked. so lame.

but, this does have a point, stay with me here-- we are challenging our friends in the band cowboy indian bear to a basketball showdown. we both share the same practice space so this one is for king of the space! all the marbles!! they are only a three piece band though, so they'll be enlisting the help of the practice space/studio owner and engineer extrordinaire, josh browning. now, some of you may know josh browning but i'll assume most of you don't. this dude is like 11 feet fucking tall. he's like twice my height. i'm a little worried about this.

we plan on filming the game so you can see our awesome basketball skills. we're gonna start practicing soon and its gonna be fucking intense. you know, you have to get a game plan for events like this... you go in there all willy-nilly and shit will hit the fan. next thing you know, you're covered in your own nose blood, getting dunked on, annihilated behind the arch, somebody will be crying (undoubtably brent) and thats when somebody loses it and quits the band before kicking the ball across the court because they "didn't get the rock enough". yep, thats what happens when you don't practice.

here is me getting nailed in the nads by a line drive. awesome.

2009-04-09T00:21:00.000-07:00

so like i mentioned earlier, tom hanks rips ass. name one fucking movie tom hanks has done that sucks. you can't- and if you can then you're wrong. all tom hanks movies rule. if you make a list of your favorite actors and hanks isn't in the top three then wake up, man. wake the fuck up. forrest gump, saving private ryan, big, apollo fucking 13. classics. i have cried during all of those movies, well i guess not big, but whatever. i still cry sometimes when i see forrest gump! my god, when he's talking at jenny's grave, holy shit i almost lose it. what a master.

also, tom hanks has something going for him that not many major actors can claim these days... he's not a complete fucking duesche-bag. i mean, he's a real dude, ya know? when you watch actors talk its like a lot of them can't break out of "acting" all the time. they always seem to be in character and speaking lines with as much weight as possible every moment like everything they say is some profound revelation or something. they just get caught up in the whole business and assimilate into this hollywood icon that every expects them to be and they just kind of forget how to speak like a regular dude from wapatashee wisconsin.. or where ever. tom hanks still seems real to me. if you go watch his acceptance speech for best leading actor in forrest gump he goes off on some shit about "the emotion of this night is a constant speed of light" or some crazy shit like that but i'll give him that one, just because.

Spinnerette is the new project from Brody Dalle of the defunct Distillers. i absolutely love all the Distillers records. the first two records are some of the only street punk records i can still listen to and not cringe. that shit is good. coral fang was fucking awesome too. so naturally, i dig this spinnerette stuff... i'm probably one of the few, but i do.

i dont wanna work, i wanna bang on the drum all day

2009-03-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

Brent went on down to them nice folks at Tree House Drum Co. and they whittled out this new kit for him. I think the wood actually came from these dudes...

Double Flawless Victory

2009-03-25T23:02:00.000-07:00

just got back from the tim barry show at the jackpot. good, good stuff. not much of a turnout though. RJ came up again from missouri for the show, it was also his 21st birfday... HAPPY 21 DUDE! even though it was a pretty chill show, he did get a shout out from tim barry onstage and that is pretty fucking cool, right?

this dude named austin lucas played, and was fucking so awesome. i had a song of his on a suburban home records comp but i didn't know it the artist name or anything... he opened with that song and i knew i was in for a good set. i'm not sure what the name of the song its fantastic. i'll look it up and share with you guys next entry.

some drunk chick kinda stepped in front of me at one point, which was totally fine, i didn't care... then she turns around and starts to say she's sorry for stepping infront of me. but pretty much right when she starts talking i accidently knocked her beer out of her hand-- i swear it was a complete accident. se looks at me, picks up her glass and socks me one right in the gut. i mean for real. now, maybe she was totally joking but hit me way harder than what she meant/thought because she was drunk, or maybe she was just really pissed. i'm not sure. it was an uppercut maneuver reminiscent of this:

then, these dudes walk in toward the end of the show and order a pitcher of beer. they seem pretty stoked on this beer. they find a booth against the wall and sit across from each other. glasses poured, they indulge. I just happen to overhear this randomly in the conversation, "for the first time in a long time, i see the future of beer here in america." damn. now that is a statement. I mean, these dudes are either a.)some educated motherfucking beer drinkers, or b.) full of total bullshit. no normal joe walks into a bar and has a discourse about the future of american brewing. i'd like to talk to them about this beer they see the future in. that sounds like a beer i could get behind.

NICE TWEET!

'Merican Idol

2009-03-20T21:28:00.000-07:00

so yesterday these 6 old ladies order a ton of pizza. when i get there they have me bring it in to the table. all seems ok, everything is casual.

then it happens. they drop a bomb on me. i stand there, stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Oh my god! you look just like that boy on American Idol!"

i have a friend that always said that i looked like david cook, last year's american idol winner. maybe that one was worse because he was straight up a hobbitt from middle-earth. i dont like to be reminded of my hobbittness. but then again, ol' adam lambert up there looks like he jumped straight out of twilight. goddammit.

TAKE THE BLUE PILL!

2009-03-17T16:08:00.000-07:00

i watched the matrix for the first time in probably 5 years the other night. pretty awesome movie overall, i remember thinking it was the coolest fucking movie i'd ever seen when it came out. but i got to thinking about it while i was watching it... and i've been thinking about it alot since. fuck living in the "real world" and separating yourself from "the matrix". seriously. i am just assuming everyone reading this is familiar with the basic plot of the matrix. if you're not, you should stop reading this now (because it wont make a bird's balls worth of sense) and go rent it. or netflix it. so convenient. if you haven't seen the matrix where have you been? bug-watching in switzerland for 10 years? kick off your clogs and join the modern times! kevin, please tell me you've seen the matrix.

anyway... back to the real point. why the hell would aaannybody think living in the matrix is worse than the real world- their real world sucked balls! they live underground in some shitty underworld submarine crossed with spaceship called the nebacanezer or some dumb shit like that. they have nothing to eat but this horrible looking grog that looks like 3 day old soggy corn flakes in milk, they have no room to be free or any privacy, no sun, constantly hunted by crazy-ass, lazer blasting, pissed off sentry drones, no pizza, the list could go on and on. but hey, "you're free!". bullshit dude. that sucks.
the main argument for pulling yourself out of the matrix is that you are in this made-up, simulated world while robots (who kicked humans asses yeeeears before this) run their world off of the energy our bodies and brains generate. they say "thats not free will"... WHO CARES?! don't get me wrong.. i get what their saying here and i just think they are way off base. if you don't know any better and your world (the matrix) infront of you is all you know then your will is as free as it gets. you're life is just as free as it feels now. you could do whatever, whenever you want. and really that is a helluvalot more than you can do couped up in some underground shitfest of a rebel ship! right?

i know there's people out there thinking "NO WAY DUDE, GIVE ME FREEDOM OR GIVE ME DEATH!" and i'm telling you, go watch that movie again. theres no reason to fight a ultra-amargeddon like war, dedicating your life to this cause, when in the end your life is sooo much worse than living in the matrix.

make sense? hopefully.

getting ready for our last practice before our first show on our new stuff tomorrow... so pumped!

HEAVY ROTATION #1

2009-03-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

i almost always have music playing, no matter what i'm doing. it drives me crazy to sit in silence for too long. and i'm also a delievery driver. the major perk of this job is that i dont have spend all day inside doing regular work stuff, instead i get to drive my car around town and listen to hot jammin' tunes. so from now on, every sunday i'll be listing what was in heavy rotation with me in the past week... thus the name, heavy rotation.

Car Jams:
"Chesire Cat"- blink 182 (now, forever and always a classic)

"Midwestern Songs of the Americas"- Dillinger 4

"C I V I L W A R"- Dillinger 4 (congrats D4, 2 in the top 5. man, give these dudes a medal.)

"Never Better"- P.O.S. (albert let me borrow this record and it is fucking awesome. i hate 99% of rap and i love this record. POS and D4 are both from minneapolis too. Minnesota knows how to jam.)

"Hidden World"- Fucked Up

Home Jams:
"Get Better"- Lemuria

"Mush"- Leatherface

"Turn Up the Punk, We'll be Singing"- Latterman

Myspace Jam of the week:
"Jeff Russell"- Jabberjosh check these dudes out!!! www.myspace.com/jabberjoshua

the world is fiction!

2009-03-14T19:46:00.000-07:00

its true. the world is full of half-truths, cover-ups, lies and outright fiction. BUT here are some delicious facts about KTP:

albert is absolutely, positivly 100% terrified of spiders. phobia-like.

I (andy) has never, and will FUCKING never ride a rollercoaster. deal with it. its a lifestyle choice.

brent broke down crying at the age of 17 because he was being pressured to play a game of 21. the basketball game, 21. crying. 17 years old. tears. over basketball.

merritt is the drunkest dude at the bar 99% of the time. i'm talking consistancy here people. also, his loudness is directly proportional to how drunk he his... which is usually 29 decibels louder than what is comfortable for the human ear.

i'm typing this at jason's house, so i asked him what fact he wanted me to tell everyone about him. here is what he said, "say that i'm really cool and people want to have sex with me."

he actually said that.

so i picked this fact about him... jason has more nicknames than anyone i've ever met. here they is a list i have compiled, any of these is exceptable:

Juggernaut
Jug
Snacks
Uncle Paul
Uncle Paul Snacks
J-beard
Jah'beard
J-bird

the new digs

2009-03-12T20:46:00.000-07:00

maybe i'm just old-fashioned

2009-03-06T23:16:00.000-08:00

what is the deal with twitter, guys? i just can't believe its the next big "thing", ya know? what an utterly pointless and bullshit waste of time. sort of like blogging. ;)

look, facebook is bad enough, and yes i have one. i started my facebook account in like 04... back when that shit still made sense. why do i say "when" it made sense? let me tell ya. when facebook started it was for college students only-- nobody else was on it. that is what was fucking cool about it!! it was still a very specialized, focused thing. it was just a cool way for college kids to network, and most of your friends were people at your university. it was still very "community" related. then they added high-school kids.. that was fairly big bullshit move. THEN they just opened it up to everybody-- let the asshole parade begin. all of those bullshit extra features, weird applications, AGH FUCK. i just love logging in and seeing this message:

"Troy Teemart has hit you with snow-ball! Click here to hit Troy back by adding the snow-ball application!"

fuck that. if you are one of those people who participates in that you are probably an idiot. but here's what really pisses me off- constant status updates. i get so fucking sick of reading people's bullshit status updates. here's a good example:

"Becky Butts is really glad she went out tonight! can you believe i drank 80 beers? lol i love all my girlfriends! lol!"

fuck you, becky. i'm not saying status updates are a bad concept. i get it. its the people that update their status with pointless idiot shit as a cry for attention ruin it. aaaaand that is why twitter is so fucking lame. its even lamer than facebook, lamer than myspace, lamer than ketchup sandwhich. its basically just status updates. great. didn't have enough of those on facebook... i have to have CONSTANT pointless status updates. shit like "drank to much last night, gotta get in the shower." or this one, "god i really dont wanna go to work, work sucks." get fucking real people.

mark my words. i will never. ever. ever. twitter.

So anyway, fuck winter

2009-02-28T13:44:00.000-08:00

i am seriously so tired of winter. mother nature has been a big fucking tease these past few months. 55 degrees for two days and you're riding high, loving life...then BAM. snow. i hate snow.
its funny how much kids dig on snow, man that wears off as soon as you're out of school i think. when you're out of school snow no longer equals no school. you still have to get out and do whatever you'd have to do on a normal day. one day it dawns on you... fuck snow.

i'm heading to kc to pick up some flyers for the queers/teenage bottlerocket show. you should totally go to that. i think we're gonna eat at chubby's. i've been trying to get a grip on the ol' diet lately, but eh, fuck it.

i am really drawing a huge blank here, but i'm gonna try to make sure there's at least some kind of an update everyday... even if its something pointless like this. just to waste your time. it would be alot easier if my bandmates would pitch in. pussies. i'm gonna bust balls until they contribute more... mark. my. words.

2009-02-27T20:46:00.000-08:00

i don't care what you think about blink, they will always be my favorite band.

brent and i decided angels and airwaves HAS to be a very elaborate practical joke... very, very elaborate.

lady luck hath smiled upon me

2009-02-21T17:53:00.000-08:00

dudes-

i just found 6 cans of hamm's beer. no shit. i saw in my parking lot this morning and then i saw it again, untouched, tonight. finders keepers man. i'm not sure if somebody was just drunk when they got home and left 'em outside and forgot about them all day... or... the other much juicier possibility they could missing evidence of the strange hit and run crash outside my apartment yesterday. apparently, from what i know some dude pulled over into our lot after the wreck, sat there for a second and then drove off before the cops came. this, my friends, could be tainted brew! obviously the beer is eternally cursed if that is infact the case. bad juju. i think i'm gonna give it to jason for his birthday.

2009-02-19T16:51:00.000-08:00

From the land of the sky blue waters

2009-02-15T19:43:00.000-08:00

i was supposed to go to the gym with jason tonight but instead i took a nap and ate leftover macaroni and cheese and am now dedicating my night to hamm's beer and punknews.org.

some may say lazy. i say i know how to party.

i would be wrong.

thin mints=breakfast

2009-02-14T09:52:00.000-08:00

i went to the fake problems/murder by death show last night. i was pretty pumped to see fake problems because theres been such a big buzz about them and i'd only listened to the songs on their myspace. i was pretty impressed, i really enjoyed their set and it looked like the crowd was pretty down with them too. good band, unique sound, and seemed to be really nice guys. shay totally bought the shirt i was gonna buy, dammit. its bad form to buy the shirt someone in your circle of friends just bought. don't be that guy. i did however buy their new record and an a 7" called "wizard viking eyes, wizard full of lies" which was what blink 182 was gonna name the record that eventually was titled "enema of the state". all the songs are named after blink songs and the record itself is all "enema" themed. pretty pumped to put that one on. our friend rj drove up to the show from missouri. he's a mucho awesome dude-- but, what i said about people from missouri stands.

now, call me crazy but i left about half way through murder by death. for the life of me i can't figure out what people like about them. don't get me wrong, its not that i only listen to punk rock, i listen to alot of different stuff. but that band is fucking boring. sorry. i mean, i get it, i get the vibe, i get the style, i get what they do. i just think its intensly unmoving and boring. is unmoving a word? is now. i was not moved. whatever. but you know, i'm sure 99% of the people that have seen my band think the same thing. haha

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! WRAP IT UP, DUDES.

People who drink root beer don't tip. ussually.

2009-02-11T17:10:00.000-08:00

in today's dismal economy and lay-off happy work force i find it very important to apply your skills to "recession-proof" commodities...

pizza will never lose demand my friends. thats right, no matter how bad shit gets, no matter how many people lose their jobs, no matter how much prices go up and wages go down, one thing will always be true-- everybody will still fucking eat pizza. this is why i have chosen the glitz and glamor of pizza delivery. braving the elements i transport your precious italian-american cargo from its origin on the fiery herth to your couch where you can eat your delicious pie in your underwear watching john and kate plus 8. no friends, its not for the meek or the mild, a strong constitution is needed for this journey-- nerves of steel! fear not, your pie will arrive on time, still pipping hot, dripping with glory.

pizza. it will always have a demand. i'm sure of it. but, it is all for not IF YOU DON'T FUCKING TIP.

friends... never ever be "that guy" that says, "keep the change, dude" if the change is a quarter. i wasn't gonna give you a fucking quarter back anyway, asshole.

Jayhawks>Tigers

2009-02-09T20:36:00.000-08:00

son. of. a. bitch.

just watched KU give up a game they had won handily to mizzou. for anybody that reads this that isn't familiar with the border war, its a big deal. Kansas vs. Mizzou is a big fucking deal. quite the rivalry my friends... its more like a hatred. i mean its called THE BORDER WAR. thats intense.

here's the history:
think back a long time ago when you were still 6 generations deep in your great great great great great grandaddy's left nut. there was this little thing getting ready go down called the "civil war"... maybe you've heard of it. it was when a bunch of hillbillys and plantation owners (that looked like pimped out col. sanders) were pissed because they wanted to keep slaves and the government was all like "not cool dude, not cool." then they got a pissed because that infringed their state rights. yeah, thats right.. because they though theeeir rights were being infringed. makes sense.

ok, well, that was gettin all stirred up. well there was this hick-ass slave owning state called missery... oh, i mean missouri. they really really wanted to make sure they could do whatever the fuck they wanted and by that i mean keep black people as slaves. classy folks. then right next to missouri there was this way sweet chunk of land that was getting ready to become a state called (motherfuckin')KANSAS. it was the probably the sweetest place around. there were rainbows, everybody loved each other, they could read, etc.

now missouri and kansas didn't get along. shit was always going down between them. see, missouri wanted to make sure that when the kansas territory became a real state it would be slave state instead of a free state. a few tiny little altrications and a few murders back and forth later some dick in missouri gets this bright idea, "Hey Y'all! I gots me one o' them idears! lets go over to lawrence kansas and just kill all dem bastards!" this would lead to a couple of incidents known as the "sacking of lawrence" and later "the lawrence massacre". they were total hillbilly bullshit. well, when all was said and done kansas was inducted to the union as a free state and missouri was pissed so they probably took it out on their dogs and kids with a hickory stick.

but anyway, ku almost always whips their ass in everything so anytime mizzou wins they think they are all hot shit and everything and storm the field/court, whatever the sport may be. whatever. tigers, egh, lame.

in summary, people from missouri: beat their kids, beat their dogs, beat their kid's dogs, love slavery, and are classless.

to all my good friends in missouri- you suck too.

THE SUPA BOWL

2009-02-01T19:26:00.000-08:00

al and jason came over last night and watched the super bowl... oh goodness, what an affair! i served a fabulous spread: half a bag of tortilla chips and cooked a loaf of pilsbury french bread. what an excellent host. here is our accounts of the game. these are actuall quotes.

Albert- "I'm glad as an american i can sit down as a bud and enjoy america's pastime,... it came down to the wire, you have to quote me on this. the boss probably topped tom petty last year because he did a crotch slide into the camera. but only because of that reason."

J-Bird- " ...when did a touchdown become 6 points?...."

Andy- "wow, what a game. i caught some of it but spent a majority of the time watching jason sit on my computer and talk to me about titus andronicus. good game, though."

Spencer, this Bud is for you.

2009-01-24T01:20:00.000-08:00

alright, so we're almost done replacing gear. almost. KISS sent us all of their gear because they said we deserved it more than them. i agree. thanks gene!

al, j-bird and i all drove out to our practice space in williamstown so i could shred (play the same 3 chords over and over) on my new amp. j-bird spent a majority of the time sculpting his distgustingly greasy hair in the mirror. i'm not kidding, it looked like he took a bacon grease shower.

this is a clip of stains the dog... probably the hardest i've laughed in months.

If you don't like Doug... Leave.

2009-01-16T16:02:00.000-08:00

i don't care what you say. doug was the shit... until it moved to abc's or cbs's saturday morning. it sucked bigtime then. doug was my jam dude. me and doug, we were equals. yes, douglas funnie was the kahki shorts wearing, sweater vest sporting all around good dude. he represented the common struggle. i mean, this motherfucker had a dog named porkchop that could practically speak english. shit. yes.

VIVA LA DOUG!

later on, rocko's modern life fully consumed my attention span.

I DEMAND A FUCKING RE-DO!

2009-01-11T22:45:00.000-08:00

somebody just bought a guitar out from under me on ebay. losing something on ebay will piss you off instantly. pure rage....

then you start to be pissed at yourself, and you're all like "YOU STUPID-ASS, WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY -IT -NOW?! HUH?!!? SHHHHHIT!"

i'm pretty sure my face looked something like this---

MAXIMUUUM CHILL

2008-12-22T00:57:00.001-08:00

ahhhh the holidays. good times to be had. here's the sitch-

merritt is off work from driving buses for like 4 weeks because of christmas break.

i am not scheduled to work for a week straight.

brent works from home... i still believe he's lying and actually plays bootlegged sega-saturn games all day.

al is a part-time mechanic, part-time handyman, part-time batman.

what does all this mean? maximum chillage... at least until we all have to go back to regular schedules again. tonight we ate chicken and watch "modern marvels: disney land" holy. shit.

jeff russell (the love muscle) is in kansas for the holidays. we got together last night and ransacked each others ipods. he then gave me guitar lessons. if you've never met him then here's a good photo i took of him awhile back

All i wanna do is drink beer for breakfast

2008-12-10T18:57:00.000-08:00

well... my nearly 2 week reign of unemployed 6-pack pounder poundin' is almost over. thats right ladies and gents... i am finally employed again. where might you ask? waiting tables at encore at 10th and mass. hooo-rah.

in other news, al and i are getting ready to go flyer for the 20th show. eskimo style.

also, tomorrow i'll also be picking up our limited edition "han solo" shirts for the 3 up-comming shows. how would i describe them? dope. maybe even fly. let me pioneer some urban slang here and combain those adjectives into one hyper-slang street almalgam.......

FLOPE.

check out blue collar press. sean ingram from coalesce started the business years back and it has grown to be one of the best printing comanys for merch, posters, etc in the country. these guys seriously rule.

2008-12-05T19:55:00.000-08:00

Its been quite the week. Thank you to all who have given their support and encouragement. We truly needed it.

A fresh start for us, though defiantly not the way we may have wanted. It was not how we had expected to wrap up our tour or 8th year as a band. Nonetheless, we can all feel good about what we have accomplished this year.

We have been back in Lawrence long enough to rest up and get our heads back on straight. Its going to be a long process rebuilding what we lost last Friday, but something that we all feel will be accomplished in time. We are certainly not the only band who has been ripped off in the history of music. Its not the end of the world, it will not mark the end of us.

BEHOLD THY BEARDS

2008-12-01T18:34:00.000-08:00

beards are for men.

november is for men.

naturally, to celebrate this manly month all TRUE men grow beards to observe their awesomeness. behold, for i bestow upon you the facial fauna that we have cultivated.

in other news, we all got together tonight and chowed on some burgers that merritt grilled up. very awesome. we are figuring out what we need to do to finish this year right and i think its gonna end up great. its in times like these you realize how great people can be.. we have so many good friends to be thankful for.

2008-11-30T06:20:00.000-08:00

well, here i am. 40 some hours after leaving san francisco we're back. the longest ride of my life. it was really fucking weird to look out the back window and not see a trailer back there. it was a constant reminder.

Savor the bird, mate

2008-11-27T21:51:00.000-08:00

happy thanksgiving!

we slept in the parking lot of "hometown buffet". after cleaning up, which means 'wet tolletting' yourself, we feasted for two and one half hours. glutton style. apparently its not considered price gouging to charge twice as much for thanksgiving day dinner than a regular dinner even though the food is just as out of the box as anything they would serve regularly. fuck instant potatos. i refuse.

we played a live set on KPSU Portland awhile back--

we have a live set of it available for download on our myspace... this is a video from that.

we caved and bought a room.... all decided to take two showers.

2008-11-26T18:48:00.001-08:00

our van smells so fucking bad its unbelievable. seriously. if you get out for awhile and then come back to get something as soon as you crawl in you're like "no way dude, no way. i can't believe thats how we smell."

we're in san francisco right now. rainy. foggy. cold. ugh. dampness is depressing... you know what i'm saying? it just feels like everything is damp all the time. your pillow, your jacket, your balls. everything. we stayed the night in the van last night on the street by the fishermans warf. while we were walking down by the beach we saw a dead seal or sea lion or some shit. so gnarly. i mean this thing was fucked up... merritt checked back on it like 10 times and claimed it was decapited. i assume a ghost from alcatraz did it. those things don't give a fuck, they are super pissed to still be in that prison.

did you know the golden bridge is the number one place in the world to commit suicide? yep. people apparently travel from all over to jump off that thing. wikipedia said it averages out to be 1 person every 15 days. that just blows my mind. aside from being a suicide mecca, the bridge was pretty sweet. like i said it was rainy and shit so that was a bummer. you could barely see alcatraz or the city but all in all it was a fun thing to see. this is my first time in san francisco and its been on my to-do list for a long time. the hills are ridiculous. serioulsy, what were you guys thinking san fran?

anyway, tomorrow is thanksgiving. it seems so weird that we won't be home for thanksgiving. i've never been away from my family on thanksgiving so i'm sure it'll be alittle lonely. still kinda trying to figure out what to do to celebrate... we know we're gonna get some food obviously... we also thought about going to the theater and just sneaking into different movies all day. i want to get a room... i'll see if i can talk the fella's into that. i think we deserve it. and i know my hair deserves a shower. its always weird to have a day off in city where you don't know anybody... there's this weird mix of boredom and anxiety thats hard to describe. as strange as it sounds its stressful. its just this feeling of nowhere to go, nothing to do. if we had more money to spend i'm sure we wouldn't have that problem, but its really hard to justify dropping a bunch of money any time you are bored, ya know? there's always alot of stuff we really want to do but just can't swing. we'd really like to go to the top of the empire state building-- 20 bucks a pop. the space needle would be fun!-- 18 bucks. museums are almost always pricey. believe me, doing the "walking around the city thing" wears off in a fucking hurry. so multiply that feeling by family holiday... tomorrow will be a funky day i'm sure.

Transcription from Brent's tour journal

2008-11-21T12:08:00.000-08:00

Brent writes in his journal when he first wakes up, before becoming fully conscious.

"11-11-08

Also had a dream that I was Darth Vader or something. Got burned and fucked up real bad like in Ep. 3. Climbed into a ship somehow. Dende was there to make me feel better HAHA. Also, had to write a paper about it with old highschool teacher, decided she was a bitch."

Note: Dende is Brent's ferret roommate back home.

when i was in seattle...

2008-11-19T22:40:00.000-08:00

when i was in seattle it didn't rain.
when i was in seattle i drank instant coffee.
when i was in seattle i didn't get any fish from pikes place market.

but dammit, i sat where tom hanks sat while talking to rob reiner in "sleepless in seattle". thats good enough for me.

Spokane, Wa

2008-11-18T11:39:00.000-08:00

yeah. bummer. so basically we were in spokane, washington outside of the club all hanging out in the van because the owner hadn't arrived yet. all was well. a fresh meal of taco bell sat firmly in our bellies and leftover halloween candy flowed like wine. out of nowhere some asshole in a big-ass white work truck takes off our driver side rear-view mirror. we did not appreciate this.

al hopped in the driver seat and we tried to follow him around the corner... we couldn't get close enough to catch the plate and it was pretty clear he wasn't about to stop. he lost us around the stop light so we made a pass around the block just to see if he was stupid enough to pull in anywhere in the area. nothing.after a full circle around the block we pulled back into our original parking spot when low and behold, in the distance, what did we see? this dude was parked just down the block from where he hit us in the parking lot of a sports bar. just down the fucking street!

tryin' the switcharoo eh? the ol' a-rope-a-dope eh? this guy pulled hit-and- run's equivilent to football's double reverse-flea flicker-hook and ladder. oh no you didn't my friend. oh no you didn't.

al piloted us up the street and around the back of the dude's truck so he couldn't back out and we could get his plate number. we confronted the driver (in a very civil way might i add) and he of course denied it. he was middle-aged, probably a contractor or construction worker, and quite possibly drunk.

"hey man, not pointing any fingers here but we just got hit up the street by a truck that looks alot like this one and we saw your mirror is damaged. that would be the mirror on the side that shattered our mirror." al was very calm with him.

"oh yeah?""yeah. so uh, we're gonna get this called in so we can cover our end of things, ya know?"

"oh you don't have to call the police."

"so are you saying it was you that did it?"

"oh no. i'm not saying that."

"ok. well, then you won't mind if we call this in to get it sorted out."

"yeah, ok. i'm just waiting for some friends."

obviously, this dude wasn't gonna fess up. so i got on the phone to get a cop to come out and right around that time the dude's reverse lights came on. our trailer was directly behind his truck. al and i were also directly behind his truck. not knowing what to say i just yell "HEY! HEY! WHAT'S HE DOING?" instead he put it back into drive and hurdled over the parking blocks and curb and sped down the street. son. of. a. bitch.

we never heard if they pulled him over or not, they were supposed to let us know if they did. we don't know what his name was... we've been calling him "Reg".

suck it, Reg.

-andy

i can't complain

2008-11-11T16:16:00.000-08:00

no matter what happens, i know that the dude in buford, wyoming probably has it worse.

last night in fort collins was a pretty sweet time. free pizza, good people, fun show.
we played with JV Allstars from Nebraska so it was good to chill with some fellow midwesterners around all them crazy mountain folk. we stayed the night JV Allstars and their friends Tamera and Frauhm... (i probably spelled you name wrong Frauhm, but dammit i fucking tried.) they were nice enough to feed us some excellent fallafel. (i probably spelled your name wrong fallafel, but dammit i fucking tried.) In turn, Merritt was nice enough to drink an entire bottle of their absolut vodka. all in all a good night.

al bought the new dead to me EP yesterday. sooooo good. do yourself a solid and check it out.

colo-RAD-o

2008-11-10T17:47:00.000-08:00

hola, mi amigos! tonight we're in fort collins.

we ate a delicious breakfast this morning courtesy our new bud taylor and we just got some free pizza from the venue. LET THE FREE FOOD ROLL!

2008-11-07T10:57:00.000-08:00

thats it dude, packed up and ready to go-- 6 weeks in a van with dudes. it is a dangerous journey indeed... we tried to get frodo baggins to roadie for us once after he destroyed the ring of power and he was like, "ah nah son, fuck that." no shit.

in case you ever get stupid enough to decide to embark on a journy of such nature, here is what you will need:

luggage bag (duh)
7 shirts
2 pants
1 shorts
10 underwear (always blue boxers, they are sexiest)
10 pairs of socks
1 hoodie (all cool dudes wear hoodies, you knew that)
1 thermal
some sweet headgear... this is optional ofcourse. i like to have my trusty baseball cap and also a black stocking cap for practicallity sake. it is fucking winter now, you know? black stocking caps are totally in with KTP this year. we all own one and every once in a blue moon you'll see us all wearing one at one time. they make our huge heads appear smaller.

since its summer, i packed a full-on coat too, though i'm hairy enough that i doubt i'll bust that out.

you will also need a dirty clothes bag to through all your stankin' ass shit in after you wear it.

bring all of you bathroom stuff in one bag to keep it all together. that way when you find yourself in a strange house in the morning or a parking lot you can use the bathroom in a very quick and efficient manner, this is key. brent tends to bring only a tooth brush and toothpaste and keep them in his pocket all the time. that is weird and gross, whatever you do-- DO NOT DO THAT.

and of-course you will need a sleeping bag and pillow. especially in winter. you will freeze your balls off without it. please keep in mind that you must keep your sleeping bag away from me because i have a history of puking all over my bandmates sleeping bags to make sure they can never be used again. ask brent. here is an visual aid--

see all of you soon.

On the Road

2008-11-04T14:20:00.001-08:00

Touring is never boring, sans the 10 hour all day drives. But rest assured to pass our down time, we will keep the blog updated with the latest happeings of the wayward existance that is our life on the road. We take off in three days, headed for the West coast. We'll probably be crashin with Dre when we get to LA. Called in a favor...

gentlemen, start your blogging...
