DAN HAMILL BE A G-HOLE
Things have been busy here at the world of MOG, so I will give you a brief update of where we've been and what we've been up to since my last transmission. Thursday was the fun day as Brandt and I got deep into the tunes. We checked out two songs that I have been working pretty hard on, CREATION PHASE and the newer song DONT DREAM, JUST SCHEDULE. DDJS has a special place in my heart as its the kind of dance song I have been wanting to do for awhile. I actually started writing in Tokyo and I love saying that because it sounds incredibly pretentious but, well, its true. The title actually comes from something a Japanese friend said to me while there. While I can't give you sound yet, you can at least see here what it looks like:
B and I got deep into the song and made plenty of changes to it that gave me enough to start doing another round of work on. I got to play some synths, which is always a blast.
It was a successful evening in which a lot of good things came out of. What happens to this song is anyones guess, but I know it's gonna be a keeper. Someday it shall make love to your ear drums in a way that would make Leandro Fresco blush.
Friday was the long dreaded X3 day. It sucked. It hurt to watch. For real. The best part of seeing this film was seeing a new SUPERMAN trailer. The entire time I watched the film I was regretting my promise to my nephew that I would take him to see this film. This is the suck.
The holiday weekend was devoted to domestic activities. Grown Up Shit, as I call it, that is too boring and not what you want to read here. Ikea, Home Dept, these things. However, I did hit the streets of Stewart Manor to finally retrieve my beloved Thunderbird (THE BASS), so kudos to the Whitfleets for housing it for these last few months. Now I can get my shit in gear and start recording some of the sweet bass you have possibly come to expect from me.
Sunday night, I hung out with lesbians. And Lurch and Danny. At the same time at a cool bar called Heathers, which I had hoped would have Christian Slater lookalikes and serve drinks made from Drain-O. If I can remember now that I am sober, they had either chalkboard walls in the bathroom or I'm just a criminal, but this found its way to the wall of the unisex bathroom:
Monday was a way too hot and hangover recovery day that was spent out with the ladies, Irene and our dear friend Lynell. They mostly shopped while I was simply eye candy, but while clowning around on Lafayette Street, I stumbled across yet another one of these stickers:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!
Monday night saw a gang of tired lads and lass watching sport and feeling a huge void from the lack of 24. However, we ate well thanks for the domestic work over the weekend, which included Irene using a new wok and the beloved (by me) rice cooker to cook some fresh chinatown bought shrimp into culinary brilliance. Danny and Lurch also stupidly saw DAVINCI CODE before coming over so watching my two friends lacking the will to live (moreso than usual) was painful even for me. But if I learned any lesson this weekend, it's dont be a G-Hole:
The exciting news for you (and what many of you have been dreading about having to read for the next year on this blog) is the announcement of what was formerly known as KASABIAN 2, which will now be called BRITISH LEGION and will be out September 18th. It's a long wait, but a download only single, called EMPIRE, will be out in July. With so many musical letdowns this year, all my hopes are on this as album of the year. A top album of the year contender, the new Pet Shop Boys record FUNDAMENTAL, is so far (and I need to listen to it a bit) a great, slick return to form. A solid record.
This weeks MOST exciting news is the impending arrival of KRUGER BABY AWESOMENESS, who make their first NY visit of their young lives. The air is electric with anticipation. They too are happy as we see here the two children reacting to the news that they are going to see Irene and I this week:
Up North in Canadia, a certain awesome young nephew busted out his skategear for the first time this season and kicked it like a man should at the Montreal skatepark:
The Best.

Notes on gay
Courtesy of the DFA message board, here is an essay of pure brilliance written by The Juan Maclean:
"Juan only uses the word 'gay' in one way - in reference to the art of same sex sexual relations. For example, when one dude places his penis inside the anus of another dude, then reaches around and strokes the other dudes penis, that's called "fucking a dude in the ass," and that is 'gay,' unless it meets certain guidelines, mentioned elsewhere on this forum, then it might not be gay. The reacharound is simply good manners.
Being a gay is not something you do with your body, it is an existential state of being. You can't make yourself gay, and you can't unmake yourself gay. The Lord made gays because there are too many people on the earth. The heteros (breeders) can't control themselves, or at least use proper contraception, and they make too many people. For this reason, Jesus has ordered more and more gays as time goes on. 100 years ago there weren't nearly as many gays as there are now.
For this reason, many consider the gay an evolutionary progression. They dress better, dance better, generally are up for a better time, and rarely, if ever, ask you questions about the esoteric gear you are playing on stage. Unlike girls, you have to chat them up far less in order to secure a sexual liason.
When they take over an area of a city, that area very quickly has better coffee. This is because gays like to stay up late, so they set up real nice coffee shops and cafes wherever they go.
Sometimes it's hard to say who is gay and who is not. Sometimes gays that are in hiding, covering up their identity as gay (even going so far as to get married), are referred to as being 'in the closet.' That one Top Gun dude is an example, not Goose but the other guy.
So in general, it is better to be gay than not gay. There are sexual reorientation programs out there that you can try if you are interested in switching. I tried one, but they seemed to get upset after they realized I was not a gay trying to be not-gay, but a not-gay looking to become a gay. It really sucked because I had bought a lot of the accessories and everything already, which can cost a lot of money. So my advice is that you not spend a lot of money on stuff like housewares, clothes, reinforced condoms, etc., before seeking sexual reorienatation therapy."
Like I said: pure brilliance.

THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO
I spent approx. 30 seconds trying to think of something funny or humiliating to say under this picture when I realized that these two assholes are doing all the talking necessary. However, Danny's career as a fake Italian gondola rent boy is secure and I am pleased he would share this image of his first john with us. "ehhhhh, call me-ah VINNIE, GOOOTERBALL VINNIE. Si! Si!"
