PrintIt's a pity party, people. I am stuck at the office. So I don't get to see Pedro resume his Daddyness against the Yankees. I don't get to see the Phillies try to make it two straight at that new and shiny stadium. And I don't get to see Alicia Keys!!
It's official; God hates me.
But hey, I don't want to bring you blessed bloggers down, too. So go ahead and enjoy Game 2 of the World Series.
And when you speak of me, speak well.
Your lineups (A.J. Burnett for NY, Pedro Martinez for the champions)

well, assuming you're opposed to killing them,

I had a birthday that was just to die for
arguably the best one ever out of 43 so far and about 39 I remember.
We played & recorded and ended up doing this gorgeous kind of “In a Silent Way”-ish improvisation, & when I mixed it later that night and played it back thru I cried tears of joy that we had given birth to that on my birthday.
Any birthday featuring tears of joy is pretty good, IMO.

I play guitar/bass/drums
The other night I played bass for the first hour and drums the second…. we also got this crazy improv where I am bashing away like Michael f*ckin Clark on the drums, it’s rather amusing.

that's us
we are 100% improv band, crafting moments in the language of vibration with no premeditation.
97% of it is tripe & compost, but there’s the 3% that brings you into the light of what it means to truly live.

Very, very nice.
It takes a rare breed of musician to pull off good improv. A pretty strong knowledge of theory helps, too.
And your dream, absolve.
And your path, dissolve.
I am sort of the spine of it
it’s usually me that drives the sort of melodic/harmonic path of whatever we’re doing, & that has to figure out where it’d be interesting to go if I’m in A and the guitar is playing in D, I might go to B let’s say LOL
For me, improvisation is the most stimulating way to make music because it lets the rock determine in a substantive way what the sculpture will turn out to be.

Oh, absolutely.
Playing pre-composed music or composing new music are great, but there’s a place you can go with improv which is entirely unique from anything else. Unique to anything else in life, actually. It’s a wholly different state of mind.
And your dream, absolve.
And your path, dissolve.
yeah
it’s a whole state of mind & a way to diversify one’s perspective on temporality and the passage of time, it can be amazing and 8 hours can go by in like 4 minutes when you’re eyeballs deep in the mood of it.

So last year some time I was wandering through some department store
and not only did I see a MORE COWBELL tshirt, complete with Will playing the cowbell on it, but I found a superimposed Walken t-shirt that said I GOT A FEVER AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL.
Needless to say I left with two new articles of clothing.
