Books!!!
Check it: Just finished the Cormac McCarthy novel “No Country For Old Men.” I have been reading his shit for years. Loved the film as well. I’d say it was the most easily readable book by this particular author I’ve ever read. Doesn’t bother with quotations when people are speaking. Reminds me somewhat of the Hemingway novels I’ve read. Cormac McCarthy...
Technically we have a show in Worcester, Mass tonight & we’re still in LA. Our flight was supposed to leave 12 hours ago, but was cancelled. We were also supposed to be able to sleep before the show but now that we’re flying from 1am to 11am, that’s not happening. So, on top of not practicing the songs like we should have we’ll be running on no Zs (I’ve never...
My Left Foot
in an effort to try and trump tony thaxton’s broken arm, i would like to inform all of you good people out there that i have SEVERELY STUBBED MY TOE. the pain, as you may be well aware, is in fact, excruciating. women gasp when they walk past me and see my gangster limp. children grimace at the thought that one day this may even happen to them. grown men often cry upon the merest...

it's justin, suckas!!!
just wanted to drop some science on you. we’ve been working out the music for this next record of ours and so far, so good. i believe in my own little category of what’s going on, i’ve got about 24 songs to work on lyric-wise. some are more finished than others. according to mark, we have a “fuck yeah, that’s going on the record” pile & a “fuck no,...
Tony Thaxton. Now with more metal.
Our bizarre approach to record number 4 begins tomorrow. Why bizarre? Well, we have to do things a little backwards due to recovery time from my arm surgery. I know, I know. Enough with the arm talk. Hopefully I can stop talking about it soon, since I had the surgery yesterday. A lot of you sent extremely nice messages to me on Twitter throughout the day and it really meant a lot to me, so I...
Zonked!!!
Arrived at la hotel. Waiting on a ride from the April to devour delicious treats and jettison into perhaps the last food coma of my life. Fingers crossed. Can’t wait for the commencement of record #4 tomorrow!!! It’s gonna be sick.

Kill everyone
Whats up ladys and bugs,
Sitting on my plane reading my book. I get a little stirr crazy on planes being stuck in my seat. When I was young I used to drive my parents nutz when at church cause I could not stop moving around cause I would get very bored and uncomfortable. I am feeling that way now. I kinds want to scream bloody murder but I won’t. The one good thing I am reading a book with a...
Das Wire
Tuesday night on the couch with the lady. We are watching The Wire, and it is super duper. On a side note… While riding the subway this weekend I sat next to the guy that plays Ziggy on the show.
Getting really excited to make this new record. I have the demos stuck in my head every day. Good stuff for sure.
Also excited to have a pool in LA so I can shave a few pounds off before the...
i'm late, i'm late, etc...
i have decided that there is not enough time. jack bauer has been preaching it for years, but only now do i fully realize the gravity of his teachings. gotta quick pack, try and upgrade my flight status so i can get the good peanuts, buy some razor blades and earplugs, pick up drugs at the pharmacy(prescription of course), go see the twins play a baseball game(baseball?), have dinner with the...
I have no idea what I'm doing
Sorry about the post below this. Apparently, Tumblr’s easy to use format isn’t quite easy enough for my dumb ass. If you click on the bottom part, it sends you to my twitter, but i don’t know how to make it look at nice and not repeat itself. So, call me stupid…well, that’s not very nice!

I went to see a show last night. It was called Monsters of Mock. There were 3 tribute bands - doing the Dead, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. We missed the Grateful Dead one. We did catch Brown Sabbath. They played Paranoid front to back and they nailed it. And to make them even more amazing, the singer/Ozzy goes by Assy Asburn. Then a group did Dark Side of the Moon front to back with Comfortably...
Justin here… Just checking in to let you know that I am still alive. Finally downloaded the phone application for this noise and decided to use it. Currently I’m in Pontiac, MI. Reminds me of being 20 and not giving a fuck about shit. Which reminds me that I am no longer 20 and not giving a fuck about shit. Which makes me angry for not giving a fuck about not giving a fuck about...
Mad at Matt
Ok, so I am upset at Matt Taylor. I think it might be the beginning of a long feud. You see, I really don’t like playing first person shooters. Like, you know, video games. Don’t get me wrong, I love video games. I have gotten every Playstation platform the day it came out. Like, sitting outside the store in the rain style. But, I have never liked first person shooters. I played...
