L.A. 7:57am



I think I can honestly say this is the first time in like 6 months where I can just sit down and write a random blog. I've accepted the fact that not every moment of my life is going to be recapped on here for the time being. Hopefully, you will accept this also. Deal with it.

Right now, I'm crashed out on the 12th floor of the Sunset Towers. This is the quickest trip to LA since the infamous "Yes, he knows you just flew to LA for this one meeting, but it's cancelled, however he will still have dinner with you tonight" trip (that's for the book, that one). 7:55am flight to LA on Wed, fly back 3pm Friday. All meetings taken and done in less thn 24 hrs. So I've stolen a bit of a rest last night and this morning, before I fly out. Thanks to a mixup of some kind, your hero has been rolling in a Mercedes C300 all week, talk about rock star. Anyway, quick jaunt. Just squeezing in a lil social time last night with Vik/Emmy, which saw us end up at Cabrea where the beloved owner, and her 3 year old were in the house. Heroes Welcome. They have this gnocci thing which might be the new thing. Stay tuned.

Knowing I was going to crash in this morning, I prepped with the breakfast of champions by buying it and leaving it in the room. Observe (and don't tell Irene, fucker):



I'm really enjoying the new Oasis album a lot. Danny doesn't like it, which is driving a wedge between us. Anyway, in 6 months, he'll pull an Ash and love it, especially after seeing it live.

Speaking of live, the night before I left, we went to see MBV at Roseland and my teeth are still shaking from the sheer sonic madness. They spent 300 grand (FACT) on gear for this tour and when I say gear I mean "weapons designed to hurt you". I never wear earplugs at gigs, cause I'm silly and eventually deaf like that, but for a gig where they HAND that shit out, it's obvious why. It hurt. and it was the best kind of hurt cause they were sick awesome. It was a clusterfuck, but worth it even when I had to get up at 430am the next morning to come here.

Anyway, usually I would stay through the day and travel on Saturday, but I really feel like I'm lagging behind on the music. We need to get this album done and soon, cause we truly are close, and lil spurts here in there at the studio are not going to get shit done. There's a lot of new stuff we need to get into, including our work with Sparrow, Peka, etc. Also, there was a fire, but that's a whole other thing and everyone is safe. I hear its rainy as fuck back home, so who knows, you might get more random blog entries.

Now, it's off to bkfst with Kyle. SW geek summit time!
