"I feel like someone landed a fucking 747 in my ear."

I wasn't the only one who was blown the fuck away by the MBV reunion tour.

Who do YOU think is going to win the election?

Detached from reality

When Obama and McCain debated last week, I remember that the pundits claimed the result of the debate was a tie. Funny, I thought, because I had watched the debate and thought that it was clear that Obama was the victor. Sure enough, a couple days later and the conventional wisdom is that Obama mopped the floor with ol' Johnny POW.

Look at editorial pages all across the country today, and you'll be told that Sarah Palin either tied or beat Joe Biden in last night's VP debate. But, polls of people who actually watched the debate indicate that Biden won easily. I read one such editorial piece on CNN.com today. I was so frustrated with this idea that by managing to not fall over, Sarah Palin somehow won the debate, that I was looking for the comment section to express my dissatisfaction over this editorial piece. When I scrolled through the comments, it was clear that I wasn't the only one who thinks that this propping up of Palin is fucking bullshit. I decided a comment was unnecessary. The people are not this stupid. The only polls I've seen that indicate that Palin won the thing, were polls from Fox"News" and The Drudge Report. Big fucking surprise there!

My frustration is NOT with the 30%ers who will declare victory for Palin because they're so moronic that they still think that Bush is doing a "heck'uva job". My frustration is with these fucking "pundits" who work for the mainstream media, who clearly understand that this woman is a fucking moron, but they're propping her up because a close election means more viewers for their networks. They're getting punked by the polls. Americans seem to be (miraculously) making up their own minds about what they're actually seeing in these debates. It seems that the people aren't interested in having blowhards at the MSM tell them how they should feel about what they just saw.

I'm still predicting an Obama/Biden win in November. And, the closer we get, the more I'm convniced that we're looking at a landslide of epic proportions.

Save the date!

Looks like we're about a month away from the next Scar Party show, which will be the first with the full band. We're really excited about this show. It will be the start of something big. And, we're really thrilled to let you in on our little secret.

I'll be more forthcoming with details in the next week or so. But, be prepared! Nov. 7 is the date.

Oh, Sarah

I'm just amazed that Sarah Palin has managed to make George W. Bush look pretty intelligent and capable by comparison. I mean, at least GW grew up around politics and world events. Sarah Palin seems as if she never even really considered most of these issues until she got the call from McCain and people started trying to train her and teach her what to say. She seems blissfully ignorant about pretty basic world events.

Scar Party - Phase 2

Ever since the first Scar Party show a couple of weeks ago, I've been really excited about what the future holds for this project. Playing a show by myself and trying to make an interesting production of it, really gave me some confidence in what I'm trying to do with this band. It was also nice to have both Scott and Colin, who will be the drummer and bassist respectively, at the show to offer their support and also to see how high I wanna set the bar with this band. I really have high expectations.

We had our first full-on band practice for Scar Party today. Man... This 3 piece band is waaaay more fun to play with than that silly sampler. In fact, I can still use the sampler with the band. It's like having a fourth member that plays sound effects! I feel like this band is gonna sound really incredible. It's a pretty large sound for a 3 piece band.

We start recording next week. I'm also working on some video stuff that will probably be seen spilling from a projector at our shows in the near future.
