The Song Fight Bulletin Board

DRC: Konichiwa Songfighters. This past weekend was ultra busy for me as I did a ton of housework in preparation for my kids big birthday carnival party. I was also able to get some good writing time in for my concept album project which has had a bit for a revamp since bzl gave me a necessary critical smack. The story is better for it. Another part of my weekend was having to hear my upstairs neighbors making music. Jealousy abounds. I need to get my musical shit together. Anyone have an XLR to Mini they wanna give away to a musician in need. And maybe some bandmates. Bandmates would be nice....

QotD: What's the best band pic you have for yourself/your band?

This has to be right up there...

But then again, it depends on how you define 'best'.

I've always liked this collage because it was made from the heart by a fan. I'm the long hair one.

heh, as spud says, depends on how you define 'best' - here's one that i like, from ambientlive 2k4:

(i think that's too big for the forum so i linked it instead)

...but this one has a special place in my photogallery:

Bill, who's who in that pic. I've never seen him around, but it the guy in the glasses Future Boy? Is that you (Bill) asleep in the back right corner? Is that Lord of Oats hanging on the wall, lol?

I kinda like this one, mainly because I was about 20 pounds thinner then.

That's (left to right) Hoblit, Jefff (AKA Jeff Fal AKA ADD Music), Starfinger, and me - and I'm not asleep, just the venue didn't have any keyboard stand so I had to set up on a chair or something. It was too low for maximum comfort, but oh well.
Yah, must be LoO. I always forget if that's H or O.

I'm thinking I should buy some sort of stand, but most of them won't support multiple small items vs. a single large one - this was the only one I could find with a table top but it's real freakin' expensive.

OK, time to show off. Thanks for the opportunity.

This carnation is no longer together.

Current configuration


Current Myspace cover pick (09/15/08) is a pretty good press shot as well but you'll have to work for that one.

The Funeral Dazies

Obviously 'shopped but it comes from a great press kit shoot

Ok, this one is just me but it made one of the local paper's ONLINE page.


There an 's ton more but I don't want to over do it here.

I was going to say Hobz, but he looked different there. Yeah, I get ADD and future boy mixed up.

awwwwww, I scrounged up this band photo:

I don't have a band of my own, and a picture of just me would be lame, so no.

I like that one too (well, the uncropped version with the lonely guitarist way out there stage left ) Oh... never mind, different photographer.

This one ain't bad.


(Looking for the one from PDX where I've got the crazy insane redeye going on.)

I do not like pictures of me in general:


But this one isn't terrible:

Fluf, you look like Jack Black in that one.

I didn't even know how to hold a freaking guitar at the time. That was my first SFLive which was in turn the first time I'd played up on a stage live. And my only guitar at the time was a piece of crap pawnshop acoustic with no strap.

I think I've gotten somewhat better since then.

Oh, so that's not you in the white shirt playing the... Strat? Who is that?

Did I stutter? That is me.

What I mean to say is, I was reminiscing.

You confused me, and any human that isn't a computer programming freak, by saying you had an acoustic with no strap.
Good day, sir...... I said good day!

PART THE FIRST: in which fluffy shares a photograph of being on stage
PART THE SECOND: in which fluffy provides context for the photograph and why the guitar is being worn in a ridiculous manner
PART THE THIRD: in which Billy's Little Trip remains true to form

They broke the mold, sweet cheeks.


.....now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.. shweeewshhweeeeshwoooo

So you're saying you're the last in line of a long series of identical people?
