studio...

for those interested, this is my make shift home studio. it consists of my computer, a line 6 tone port, and my guitars. that's it. pretty simple. So, remember my post on satanism? Me either, but in it i said that i had gotten hooked up with a free subscription to SPIN magazine. Normally, i don't dig indie stuff, but, hey, it was free. Anyways, in it, they have a section where 'celebrities' take a pic of themselves in their room or studio or whatever and then talk about the cooky shit in the room. I thought it'd be fun to do the same. There is no one else here, so you get the picture without me in it. Lets start with the giant piece of shit to the left. This was an old table top that i painted. Its a representation of my conception, from my point of view (or what i thought it was anyway). I'm not attached to this in anyway, but can't bring myself to throw it away. If you want it, let me know, its yours. Except the baby picture on it. Its me as a baby holding 3 hundred dollar bills. Bling bling! That i'm keeping. The other painting is the 'love pirate' symbol. Below that, my guitars. The acoustic all the way to the left was given to me by my father. Its the guitar he taught me on. He gave it to me last Xmas. It means the world to me. The Vader helmet..... yes, i'm a Star Wars geek, leave me alone! I managed to walk away with that at my last job. The print above my computers is the Dali print i've spoken of before. 'Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach'. Dali is amazing, i highly recomend checking him out if you haven't before. Ive written many a song inpired by that painting. Other than that, just a bunch of random crap, pictures of my nephew, and a beer. haha, cheers! Anyways, that was kind of lame, but whatever, it was kind of fun. The BOH stuff is coming along good. There is so much music! We actually sat down earlier this week and started going through demos. I think there was something like 36 songs! I'm pretty excited about this project. More so than any other project i've ever done. These songs are so close to us and it shows i think. Last weekend I put together an acoustic show up at the Hideout (yes, you should go there, it used to be Shea Rileys). There were 3 sets. Steve Linell from Beta Minus, Lawrence Deal from Civicminded, and Ed Antone from DiFI. They all did sets. I will say this: these 3 musicians are amazing, as are their bands, but it takes sack to do what they did that night, and I have the utmost respect for them. Thanks for a great show guys! I left inspired and proud to know and learn from you. Anyways, its Friday again. Time to go out, have some drinks, and find some trouble. Cheers!
