Now my gear is obsolete.

Best not to take it personally. At least, that's what I keep telling myself!

Every time I sat down to work on the song, I got baked out of my gourd instead.

Good one.

Unfortunately, staying up till 6am means napping takes you past the morning deadline. My House Red chorus bears striking resemblance to GravityJohnson's anyway... #ijustwantadayofffromtouristing #nothingnewunderthesun
Everything is about perspective. :shock:

OW, it's been months since we did a damn thing. Our singer had sinus surgery and then was diagnosed with a rare form of Vasculitis. The guitar/ukulele player developed sores on his hands that prevent him from playing fretted instruments.
Hopefully we will return with a new lineup. Maybe a solo effort.

Every time I feel like entering a fight, I check the website and it's either due tomorrow or it's 3 days past due.

To be fair, due tomorrow typically means you have three to four days. Usually.
