dedalus Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Friday afternoon feels a helluva lot like Monday morning, Bubba, down here where we slouch around. The band is good, but we've only played a handful of gigs since July. Now it is September. The alcohol intake is excessively impressive, and we've written all of one new song: It goes, it goes ... never mind, it's total crap. The lead singer is out of his mind on drugs, trying to sleep with the keyboard player's girl. She's willing, I think, but he can't perform. Andy, the keyboard genius, is ready to quit. Idiot bitch. Pride. Fed up. Dammit, so am I! Hanging around with these guys is like ... like drowning in molasses, or lukewarm porrige. We had one good song, I'm sure you heard it. Top of the Pops, Number 14 in the USA. We were so, soooo fuckin good! Still are, in fact, tight and bluesy. The fame thing has been kicking us in, blasting us out of the water. Last time I drank a glass of water was in December. We're into vodka limes and expensive wines. Every now and then I meet a black musician, one of those guys from the old days, working as a doorman or a taxi driver, and I want to fall down and kiss his shoes. He takes me to a club, we play all night. I mean, who the hell needs drugs? I just love what I'm doing, man, can't stand the people I'm doing it with.

abstrect-christ Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 great narrative work as usual, nicely done. Quote Pinhead "Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh." Joey "I don't believe you." Pinhead "Oh come, you can hear its faint echo right now. I'm here to turn up the volume. To press the stinking face of humanity into the dark blood of its own secret heart." "There's a starving beast inside my chestplaying with me until he's boredThen, slowly burying his tusks in my fleshcrawling his way out he rips open old woundsWhen I reach for the knife placed on the bedside tableits blade reflects my determined faceto plant it in my chestand carve a hole so deep it snaps my veinsHollow me out, I want to feel empty"-- "Being Able To Feel Nothing" by Oathbreakerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBPy3xNwwL8 "Sky turns to a deeper grey the sun fades by the moon hell's come from the distant hills tortures dreams of the doomed and they pray, yet they prey and they pray, still they prey"-- "Still They Prey" by Coughhttps://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/sets/cough-still-they-pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank E Gibbard Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Have to comment on this Hammersmith being a familiar stamping ground. Relates in a credibility sense for me Bren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
