monday news
The Ballad Of show last night: I locked my keys in the car with all of my musical equipment 10 minutes before we were supposed to play. After declining numerous offers from helpful bystanders to break the windows to gain entry, I called AAA (American Automobile Association), who were amazingly prompt.
It took the AAA representative almost 45 seconds to break into what I thought was a fairly secure vehicle. I was so amazed by his work that I forgot about the show which was starting without me and began to talk to him about his trade. He was in no mood to give away trade secrets at 11:00 pm Sunday night, but his actions spoke louder than any guttural sounds that could have emerged from his magnificent maw.
I have decided that there is no better skill to have than the ability to break into cars. And it's easy! At least it looks easy... I don't want to anger any professional "Car Openers" as I call them. I want them on my side. This may become my new trade soon, and if so I will document my adventures for you here on ironlemon.
Anyway, the show went well. Some people saw it and enjoyed it. It will most likely be the last The Ballad Of show for a while as the bass player Brian has left the band. Or at least gone on hiatus of undetermined length. TheBalladOf.com is currently down, I will find something to do with the link soon.
In other news, "what the fuck" asks Tom.
Also, you may have noticed that there is a new link under the bands category called The Fructose Engine. These are songs by me, all by myself. The songs currently on the site are from 1994 and recorded extremely poorly. They are also stupid songs. Listen at your own risk.
