make it happen

band practice rundown

-practice
-wait for christian marching band drummer to leave (was a badass drummer fyi)
-drink soco and smoke blinding amounts of weed
-listen to in the court of the crimson king at eyebleeding volumes on the pa
-go to perkins and drink pots of coffee, eat cajun fries, and smoke until somebody threw up somewhere
-repeat twice a week

our other big focus was doing blastbeat speed covers of beatles songs. because our singer was a hippie and i wanted to fucking rock

band practice rundown

-unmangle cords
-figure out what ridiculous configuration of equipment is workable today
-play a few songs
-watch that thing you do! and eat chips

we sounded exactly like discount

-smoke weed
-turn off the lights
-pretend we knew how to play musical instruments

doing it right imo

you can hear my first band's first recording from our first week of existence

duuuuuude

that is (and obv this is not meant as a slight) really shockingly unawful!

my first band launched our performing career with a killer rendition of "talk dirty to me" at a middle school dance iirc.

haha its p lame we got a lot better

That is tight!

otm

that's fucking great

our lead singer was a 14 year old girl with a pink bc rich that closed out the night getting caught giving her 19 year old boyfriend a handy under the gym bleachers. rock and roll!

lol @ pink bc rich. i played a musicmaster god i loved it so much

i still have the bass i had back then and it is still my main bass despite being the totally abhorrent fender color "lipstick red"

ohhhh yeah

note, not my bass, not my fancy floral bedspread

Come ON that is a GREAT color.

gold hardware means i am a classy motherfucker

if there was a god, the internet would have a video of me grumpily covering "you really got me" at a talent show with that bass, a blue wool gold nautical buttoned trenchcoat and a jesus jones hat with a flipped brim as was the style of the day, while our stand in lead singer rocked out into a wireless mic that he had forgotten to turn on.

PROOF: THERE IS NO GOD

added bonus: after that shitshow, i proceeded to get second place for a quartet with DJP that sang "Silhouettes" and take first place for doing a duet on "Arms Of Orion", a fine song from the much beloved Prince album "The Batman Soundtrack"

haters gonna hate

I was in marching band for 5 years and played countless equally bad ideas during halftime shows, it's almost like being invulnerable to humiliation is my superpower now.

There was the year our show was all songs from Aladdin the movie, for instance.

celebrated by buying a bunch of pizza hut and then smoking a bunch of weed and shotgunning black labels with my friend p3rry while listening to youth of today until he dropped a roach into his lap and careened into a ditch and we had to call his dad.

An earlier year there was the marching band arrangement of "Late in the Evening."

thx to grade school/middle school orchestra, i am fairly sure that the song i have played the most times in my life is the theme to chariots of fire
