yo, anyone coming in from long island? trying to find a ride for a sweet, sweet bro who's a little strapped. you know how it is. ohsotough economic times. PLEASE AND THANKS!!

afterparty at vanessa's dumplings across the street!!

wait.
josh, i love you, but i can't agree with that entirely.
DON'T simply walk out.

all things considered for this gig, bouncing was the right call, as everyone was being outwardly and clearly shitty. but if you're not getting proper sound and people are actually there to see you, you just kind of need to tough it out, at least for a little bit. once you get to a certain point, it becomes unprofessional to NOT ever play where you aren't comfortable.
this isn't justifying any time that sound is shitty there isn't something to do about it, but there's not a whole lot to gain from just walking out mid-set. the audience sees you acting disrespectfully, and the venue (if it's somewhere you ever want to play again at all) sees you as unprofessional. in situations like this, i would much rather just tough it out and sweat it later. talk to the sound guy and tell him you were unhappy with him doing a shitty job, and if he can't take that THEN tell him fuck you and walk out.

just tossin that out there.
fuck that guy, fuck corpus christi, fuck bad sound.

also, i've always wanted to come up with an end to this one, someone help me out

"yo mama has such an intense underbite-"

sup baby

i've had so much of this it's crazy. as 10k perfectly put it, there are two ways to approach it that work for me: you can either sit down and try new stuff until you end up with something you're excited about, or you can just step back and leave music alone for a little bit. i love the feeling of re-approaching something you left unfinished a couple days/weeks/months/years later and having a new perspective on it, however slight your change of perspective may be.
also, listening to a lot of music you haven't heard before can be a big bolster for creativity. i know that i've often picked up new records and thought about how i could translate something similar to an awesome concept i hear, sending me on some crazy all-night tracking sesh.
excited for new output, schackart.

just to clear it up, this isn't actually a record label; there's no output on the part of taco bell beyond just their taco bell bucks. there's really nothing at stake here, no contracts getting signed, and no actual currency being exchanged. artists really aren't under any obligations to promote taco bell, let alone eat there if they don't need to. on the other hand, not that it's a huge push in any direction or anything, but a small band that got selected is now seen on the same "lineup of acts" as andrew w.k., les savy fav, every time i die, passion pit, etc. so if anyone looks into this promotion, they're more likely to find out about a chill band than i'd say they are to change their opinion on taco bell.
at least that's my take on the whole thing. we can talk about it more over some burritos if you like. my treat
