the bricklayer with the library card

same ol' same ol'

Here we go again. This time with a resounding lack of tension. There's nothing left to prove. Not only do they finally win it all but they start their amazing story by embarrassing their most hated rival off the field. Opening day of the 2005 World Champions has come and gone. What have we learned since the victory heard round the world? David Wells is still fat (maybe even fatter), Bellhorn is still constantly hungover, Kevin Millar is still everyones drunk uncle, Johnny Damon still can't spell "caveman" and Pedro is still pissing on the Boston media. The more things change...well, you know.
I started recording what will be my next record. We're doing almost all the tracking at the record store and at Jose Ayerve's house. He has such great ears and the same studio work ethic as I do. Use your time wisely and be thorough. It's such a pleasure to work with a best friend on something like this. We've got 5 songs that I'll be putting finishing touches on at Slaughterhouse this Tuesday. Anne Pinkerton, Matt Cullen and Paul Kochanski have already made their amazing contributions. I'm VERY happy with what we have so far. It looks like the second half of the record will be completed at the end of May. I think this record is going to be pretty dirgy. Strangely though, there seems to be a hidden happiness in it. Granted, it's VERY hidden. Also, good news for those of you with kids. There's no swearing on this one. I know I have a history of having the vocabulary of a bricklayer with a library card.
