28 09 2005Ouch. It was one of /those/ gigs. The really painful kind. A great was to see the band out, though, and a thoroughly good time was had by all. That is, me. I’ll do some proper evisceration later but there’s always part of me that likes to keep updated here too, even if it’s only to say there’s more coming later. This blog’s like an old friend you’re trying to get rid of but can’t quite bring yourself to tell to get knotted, in that respect. What would it do without me? (hint: prescription drugs comment spam, and lots of it)
Speaking of comments (and truly I am the master of the segue. They could put me on children’s TV. Possibly not.) you may have noticed from being intensely interested in the comics entries (as I know you all are) that in the comments I’ve agreed to do some writing for a wonderful and daring new webzine/community blog, Noise to Signal. It’s the kind I always wanted to do but could never, er, be arsed to, really. It was always on my to-do pile, buried beneath programming, comics, novels, and a Shatner-inspired spoken word project (one of tose is a lie. Try to guess which one!) so at least in this case the leg work has mostly been done already. I’m hoping to find time for my first contribution this Saturday. I know all of my fans will be there to support me and the site in general, as I write yet more about yet more comics. In equally elegant language as that. As a Weezer fan of moderate enthusiasm I heartily enjoyed Seb’s article about the lost Weezer album, Songs from the Black Hole, and I think you too would like to read it. Unless you hate Weezer, in which case you’d probably do well to stop reading about 3 clauses ago.
Hurrah! Glad you liked the piece. I’ve had a couple of comments from people about it, including Ian (of the site), who says he has no interest in Weezer but found the piece fascinating. So it must have been alright, I guess.
Have you heard the SFTBH songs? If you want, I can hook you up with the “fan mix” I made of what exists of the album…
Aye, that would be grand. I have heard nothing of the SFTBH, to be fair, and I’m not even that familiar with the stuff they did release from those sessions, because I’m a filthy weezer listener who doesn’t often get very far past the singles. I was set to get into Weezer, even downloaded the back catalogue, but then I think I discovered the pixies and for a while everyone else became pointless by comparison, which kind of de-railed that train.
