HEY I just thought of a funny band name. Yep that’ll happen. Well my work here on this Earth is done. I started reading a book about Indie Rock from the late 90’s until now. It’s interesting. Me talking about it isn’t though. Who cares what book I’m reading! YOU’RE READING something at the moment. That’s what matters right now! I did my livestream of Blues Legends Songs (BageLS) last night. Went pretty good. Who cares. OKAY I GET IT, I can say a thing from my life and then qualify it withWho Cares It Doesn’t Matter, Rinse and Repeat. Tried watching The X-Files last night. It’s interesting. I DOUBT THAT. Wasn’t there a scam thing calledThe Twitter Files a few years ago. NOT ANYMORE. Now it’s called The X-Filespatent pending. Based on the bad reviews The Bride? got I kinda wanna see it. It got Good Bad reviews. Seems interesting. Anyway. I think the era of Mass Reviews ruined movies for Me and Probably Others. When I was a kid we just SAW MOVIES. And that was it. And we left the movie thinkingWELL IT WAS OKAY. I ASSUME EVERYONE DID THEIR BEST. IT WAS FINE I GUESS. Now we just assume every movie SUCKS because (1) critics say it does (2) social media parrots it back as well. I think if Rotten Tomato and whatknot didn’t exist we’d just actually like every movie. WHAT FUN!
Got damn Critic-Industrial Complex. Also if you don’t like this website-blog it’s because THE CRITICS GOT TO YOU. The internet critics. Anyway. Sure I thought about the band nameThe Critics at some point in the past. Somethings off about it though. Sure I then pivoted to think aboutThe Criticals. Or The Critical Something Or Others. That’s even more off, though, I concluded! Oh Well. Isn’t that what Tarantino was gonna call his next movie for a while. I don’t need that association! If you have to associate it with SOMETHING let it be the cartoon The Critic. But preferably associate it with nothing ideally. Anyway. Gotta write songs if you wanna have a band. I haven’t written a song in years. I’ve improvised 2,000 songs. But I haven’t WRITTEN a song. Even sayingImprovised is upselling it. I just sort of vomit out words and music without thinking. From my experience, improvisation is done with Thoughtfulness and Intent. THAT’D BE A STEP FORWARD compared to what I usually do. I dunno. Some shongs are better than other shongs. What else is up. It’s always interesting trying to solo/improvise in the presence of teacher and/or fellow classmates. Sometimes it’s just complete faulty glitching that would produce the responseOh So You Just Don’t Know How To Play Guitar And Are Picking At Random Notes. But the other part of the time I DUNNO. I wouldn’t know how to describe it! It must be accomplishing SOME SORT OF THING musically. But WHAT.
WHAT INDEED. Third paragraph. When I was a teenager, I thought I was too cool for a lot of bands that it turns out were actually too cool for me! Based on reading this book. What a twist! I should give a whole lot of these bands a second (first?) look! It’ll never be the same. I had one chance to listen to them as teenagers as music should be listened to and I blew it! I dunno. Maybe some bands can be listened to as adults. Oh Okay Interesting. I’ll think about that one. WELL THIS ENTRY SUCKS. Still got the Second Half to change course. Well, stay on course. It’s the same course as before. From Bad –> Good. One course of action! Main band I’m thinking of being too cool for is Death Cab For Cutie. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT with that name. WHAT’S WRONG with you. Maybe I’m missing something. Coming at it from the wrong angle. But it seems like a bit much. Seems a lot much! But apparently I’m to give them a second chance if this book is to be trusted. You can trust books. Look at them printed word. Contrast that with looking at screen. Gotta trust SOMETHING. Anyway it serves as a cautionary tale that you gotta pick the right band name. Maybe that’s THE POINT. DON’T DO WHAT WE DID—DCFC. Pick Better Band Name. Turns out it matters! Is that possible?
I AM THE ULTIMATE ARBITRATOR. I was raised in the era of Rotten Tomatoes and Pitchfork! That’s how we all feel! Maybe. Maybe not. Anyway. What is a Death Cab. IF I know anything about this band it’s a reference to a movie from the 1940’s. Oh it comes from the title of a 1967 song. Okay. The important thing is I made an uneducated guess. I’m TRYING here! Well anyway. What else is up. I was watching some Kevin Smith movies lately. They call the character he plays Silent Bob and we’re supposed to lose our shit if he ever speaks but he talks literally every movie he shows up. At least once. It’s not that rare! I DUNNO. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe in the Askewneverse they recognize just because he’s Silent Bob he’s still allowed to talk every now and then, and when he talks, they’re likeOkay Great He’s Talking That’s Fine He’ll Do That Now And Then. That’s how it should be! What with the frequency he actually talks! It’s NOT a Once In A Lifetime thing! Anyway. I took an uber last night that was just a taxi. It was a straight up yellow taxi. That’s WRONG. One thing is different than the other. Yellow Taxi gotta pick sides! Either do one or the other, I think! What do I know. So what makes a cab a DEATH cab. Is it the cab you’re going to die in? I guess.
Life is a big Death Cab? Sure. Life is a big Cash Cab! Sure! They ask you questions for cash prizes. That’s more accurate! IMO. ESKIMO. Eskimo Kisses. Why do Eskimo kiss that way. Is touching noses as close as they can get because they’re all bundled up. Cause they live in the tundra? Gonna have to look into that one. I think historically white Americans respect Inuits slightly more than other Native Tribes who they famously uniformly disrespect and it’s becauseOh Shit You LIVE out there? We honestly probably couldn’t do that. Ya know what Well Done. Probably! Anyway. I think I used to eskimo kiss my Mom when she tucked me in. That was the default for some reason. That’s as far as I got with my Mom! SO that’s good. I don’t know. Well anyway this entry sucked. Today I might stay up late tonight. Take the Upper I’m on these days when I usually take my nighttime medicine. WHY? WHAT WILL I ACCOMPLISH? I dunno. Try to write some lyrics. Maybe try to work on learning TEXAS FLOOD. Just have some fun generally in the wee hours of the night. Anyway. See ya later.
