Well it wasn't the first time I've played on the street but it was the firs time I've really chilled with people doing it. I loved it. I can do this and make beer money on my days off, catch a swill, talk to women and meet other wannabe musicians. Love it. Maybe get good enough to put a little band together have some good times playing the bars

Reno and whoever else, how's this. Be honest, that's what helps.

We are aiming at mainly pleasing college students for starters.

Reno, or whoever - you can tell me which ones you feel are bar ready and if not why not.

Peace.
 
:dunno: who knows what people will like. I kind of like the style. The 2nd one seems more polished. You appear to be able to come up with lyrics. Can't really hear, but if they're good you have an ok tune imo, good enough for a bar with the right mood.

To make a real impression you probably need to make it more complex with more instruments and play tight with a band. ..or do covers of Pour some Sugar On Me. :grin:
 
Yeah man that first one is a new one I picked up Monday and I'm not used to playing old KOL speed yet, that's off Mechanical Bull. Playing barre's that high that fast still hurts and I'm not even close to up to speed with Caleb's vox yet. The second one is an old Beck song (1996 I believe) off Stereopathic Soul Manure. I've really laid a foundation of his old songs.

Yeah man I'm looking for a lead to start, there was one when I was working for Hillary but I never got his number and ditched that job, I was playing with this dude for a while in West Chester and it was funny, he was making guitar noises with his mouth when I played. He told me he knows a good lead that would like playing my kind of stuff so that could work out.

Pour Some Sugar on Me I won't do but someone mentioned Weezer this weekend, there's always The Sweater Song and stuff like that. Probably some old Beatles (Why Don't We Do It In The Road) etc.

It's pretty exciting man, I really do love it. Yes I like my poker but people can be real assholes live. Yes I love sales but that's work and it's tough - rejection hurts. Music, primarily rock is the perfect release man.

I'll keep at it and I'll keep you posted on stuff.

I really appreciate your insight as always.

That's very true about lyrics. Most of them are KOL or Beck for now but when I forget their lyrics I've been able to plug in my own. The acoustics are much different in the new place than the old, that's why the lyrics are so much louder in the second one.

Here's another old one, I made up the whole intro part and all the babble (of course) as well as the blow out my brains verse. I feel like it's more of a comedy routine/book store vibe, classic Beck tune though.

Here's another classic old Beck one, also off Streopathic. Reno if you haven't heard that album you really should.

Anyway, this is Puttin it Down.

I work on this song a lot, Where is My Mind by The Pixies. This is mistitled because it's not demo ready at all. As I'm sure you know this song ends Fight Club and everyone loves it. The Kings do an awesome version of it (hopefully they still do). I've been debating how I want to play it, I think it'll be a fusion of polished (like the Kings) then open up to obnoxious (like the Pixies). I played it with a lean towards obnoxious in WC and that's when the college kids tossed us some quarters, lol.

Anyway here is an early, shitty version of it and for reference here is how the Kings play it.

and yes I know I'm NOWHERE close to them :bowdown:
 
If you have such a great job, you wouldn't need to be a street musician playing for swills of booze. I guarantee those 20-YO college girls with fake ID's think you are the creepy guy on the street corner also.

I'm just having fun and entertaining during time off from my good job, but for you to put hate in this thread is pretty sad.

FW you've been on me for awhile now, and I've never understood or would want to.

You ripped on me for missing work repeatedly - I technically died and lost my kidneys for 3 months. Seriously - ripping on that, wtf? Do you have any idea how hard that was and is on me and all of my loved ones?! Whatis wrong with you, again I do not want to know. I battle those memories every day. You really just made me upset this time and I strongly suggest you be quiet unless you are ready to back up your words in person. You're not funny and the shots you're taking are out of line. You have two posts you are allowed to post to me ever following this and they are 1) where and when to meet and 2) an apology. I strongly suggest nothing else.

I rock out and I enjoy it as do others including other musicians and and women and you rip on that. People are having fun and you're just being a bitter which makes no sense, I only say nice things about you and what you do because I respect both, I love alcohol and am actually sometimes jealous. You just keep saying random mean stuff and it's out of line, I'm sorry if you're not happy with your life in some way but I owe you no validation whatsoever and never did, I hope things work out for you, and arguing with you on the internet is an annoying waste of time so go away or let's do it in person, like men - and I'm not joking. Let me know what time/place on Saturday or any other time that works for both of our schedules, or stop talking. The internet stuff has run its course between you and I.

Anyway, back to a good conversation. Reno I've got a few more cued up, I'll throw them up before I run out for some groceries here.

This is also off Stereopathic, Reno and cracks me up every time. I improvise with the lyrics a lot on it but the foundation is a masterpiece. I played it too the other day with some impro lyrics and it was a blast.

I lost that shirt in the move. Dang it, lol.

lolol
 
Boring as usual, Plom.

I'd say I hope things get better but being that you are starving your cats as you are the most hideous glutton I have ever seen and not taken them to the vet ever in their lives which will lead to their death unless they are rescued, which they will soon be, I don't wish you to be better.

I wish you to be held accountable for the actions towards those cats and other human beings, which you soon will be.

Going to see if I can at least get Don't Matter ready for the public this weekend.

That would be very fresh and I could see people dancing to that, I could see people getting into it.

That's a very tough vocal/rhythm song (especially acoustic), so we will see.

I really want Red Morning now but that's a ways off acoustic.

not sure what's going on here, or how I ended up on bacon's side, but I need to say that the world does not start and end with what 20 year old college girls think.

And a concept of "great job" sounds like an oxymoron

bacon's out there having a positive attitude and making his presence felt. That's probably more important than actual skill in showbiz :up:
 
You have ceiling tiles again?


Does your fire alarm work?


Yep and Yep. Smoke alarm confirmed by last night's disastrous excuse for cooking.

Archie don't think I think of FW as a scumbag. He's actually a cool guy who just doesn't like me very much and takes shots and that's fine we're both men. Just the e-stuff gets old - you have something to say, time to be a man and say it to my face and it's that simple, let's see what's what and what we want to do.

Plom is different, he's literally a scumbag but at the very same time wannabe true scumbag. All the racist shit he said about Cami and her kids, the harassment of Cami to my workplace, the neglect of his cats, it's all been documented. Two very different people and I do respect one but not the other. One is a good guy and the other is complacency, weakness and wannabe evil but not competent enough to be adult evil - more like 4th grader stuff but the 4th graders who do those things well are moving much faster than that thing these days, as well. To him being an asshole to a pretty girl such as Cami or Cali and getting a reaction is a form of acceptance being that he's that fucked up by rejection of what he has and hasn't made of himself and it's that simple, sad and pathetic and is again, the result of rejection and a lot of time alone blaming his own lack of effort combined with complete lack of competency on others. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel there and to be honest being that I believe in Darwinism, I don't want one for that sad and evil of a soul, either. Every thought myself, anyone I know or have known or anything else has put into that thing's dumb antics is and always has been a complete waste of time, and the same goes for anything or anyone else it has tried to hurt along the way. To it getting a reaction out of a good person is also a form of acceptance and is all it looks forward to anymore. This is why it gets up in the morning, again - sad but so, so true.

Moving on to important, positive and things. Work is great. I love it, and they love me. I won most calls by far. Everyone is very experienced there but I'm crazy Steve so I sprint nonstop. they're having this contest as a result and making the most calls will automatically get my one nice present and my teammate and I will have a ton of raffle tickets for more fun stuff. It's very refreshing because the whole actually dying (for 5 minutes) thing was really tough on my family friends and I. Yes, I was able to float on UC for awhile because I had a healthy quarter. Yes, I drank a lot and met girls, none of whom I slept with. Just a lot of fun nights and a lot of beer and every single time was inspirational to me. I focused on music because I always wanted to be good. I'm not very good yet but I'm getting there. Yes, there was a vocal teacher. We clicked for a bit but when she discovered my falsetto she wanted to focus on stuff like With or Without you, things like that. I do love that music but I more like to rock out, it's true. When I play the hard stuff I feel a release from all of the mundane things us stand up guys have to do every day. I meet a fellow musician and we are like two kids discussing the craft. It's great, and it will only get better as I get better.

So it's good and thank you for chiming in Archie and RC. I'll keep positive and will keeping working hard at that which is constructive. I will also continue to share as I grow as a musician and whatever else.

I'm going to need a replacement for that shirt fellas. That was my cool musician guy shirt and it's funny because it was a $2 buy from the Goodwill store and I had to lose weight to fit into it. It went perfectly with - me. There will be another one, sniffle (lol). I'll run it by you guys before I wear it out.

Archie I hope you and Big Al are doing as well as always, and thanks again man and RC, no words can say how much I appreciate the advice on rhythm, talent, and so much more.

Definitely appreciated.

Let's see where tonight's jam takes us, shall we.

Yeah I started out feeding them regularly but now I only feed them half what I used to so I can eat the other half of their food myself.

Incredible jam tonight, started a lot of new stuff but nothing ready to put out there. It Don't Matter to Me is going to be street ready for the weekend, which excites me, that's gonna be so much fun.

Also worked on Red Morning, and a bunch of usuals.

I thought of this hippie chick I hung out with lately when I landed this, just a slightly revamped version of one you. I really did think she was great and she waited until after pulling me to tell me that she has a boyfriend. She was at a crossroads because he's pretty much a douche, but she will be loyal to him because he sheltered her when she didn't have a place. I could paste him pretty easily but I'll back off - if I did that it would hurt her and I'd never, ever want her to be sad.

The outro cracked me up, lol - it was improvised.
