I'm going to see Ornette Coleman next month, look for a new job, get my guitar neck fixed...
I am in the middle of moving... not far, just across town but still fun.
@Jacobslippers - Ornette Coleman! Nice!
I really like the Travelers of Tyme stuff a lot, so new material sounds exciting! Does the post-Cassettes group have a name, or is that still under wraps??
Woah... frodus board!
Uh, yeah, I'm a couple weeks away from actually doing something with my band. I guess we cover the full emo spectrum. Some stuff borders on mineral/promise ring. Other stuff borders on Max Colby. It makes more sense when you hear it all together. It took me over a year to get everything to gel and I'm ready to rock now. I haven't had a good feeling about a band I've been in since 2005. It's a welcome change.
Recently listened to Molotov Cocktail Party, Fireflies and F-Letter for the first time, which was great fun! Very...jolly albums, some of them almost feel like Mr. Bungle crossed with punk. Which I like.
Also finally ordered the Conglomerate International vinyl and am expecting it any day week now! (shipping costs way out to Iceland are annoying, though :[ ) I'll see of I can use it to make some new Frodians out here on the iceberg.
Also trying to get this punk project working with some friends, although studies make time a far too scarce resource : (
Overall, fun times abound!
Oh yes, I also joined some Frodus forum...perhaps you guys have heard of it?
The winter seems to have just taken a turn for the better! My copy of Conglomerate International recently arrived, and it is quite a sight to behold. The small badge that came along with it was also pretty rad, and will be very fun to wear with my Thrice t-shirt~
I believe the next step will be to listen to it, which I'll probably use my aunt's record player, as I seem to be lacking one of my own...
...I'll see if I can convert her to our Frodian ways while I'm at it.
Currently at home for Thanksgiving but going back to school soon, wrapping up my third to last semester. I'm excited to be graduating a year from now. Speaking of record players, I need to get a new one soon, anyone know of the best places to look?
Musically, I'm waiting for my drummer to finish mixing the EP we recorded at the end of summer, I've heard clips of it so far and I like it and I'm really ready to hear the rest of the songs, I'm happy to be a part of something that I care about musically for once. I use to play in a death metal band and that got extremely boring.
Other than that, planning for Christmas break and deciding if I am going to try to work for the few weeks I'm home
My Frodian adventures of the FCI vinyl keep going!
Finally got a vinyl player, so I decided I'd finally listen to the thing. Quite brilliant to hear it in vinyl. Attention: Remove was quite a surprise, too, rather...unusual. Sort of reminds me of Credo from the early days, only more Conglomerate-y.
Definitely top-notch stuff.
Next: To collect some old vinyls from my aunt that she no longer listens to!
My plans.. not much fun to be had here: I have surgery to get my gallbladder yanked out and then I'm deploying to Iraq for 9-11 months.
