"Smile Like You Mean It" 2004-06-21 - 4:18 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj sometimes I forget that Joy Division is one of my favorite bands but then I listen to Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979 again Disorder sounds so achingly beautiful at that performance the music just sounds so desperate somehow, and the vocals/lyrics are brilliant one of my all time favorite recordings, definitely anyway my first whole day with my family gone it was fun waking up and listening to the FLCL soundtrack as I made French Toast for breakfast at 4:30 in the afternoon heh heh then almost immediately it was off to practice the first practice with the band combined I have to say, I have more fun together with the band than I do with my friends or family I can't wait until I come of age or get a fake ID so I can hang out with them all the time [they always go out to clubs and bars(Sara has a fake ID)] anyway, it went really well we got two of the three Hotline songs down (mostly) and I don't know if I mentioned it before, but when we decided to combine the two bands, we decided to come up with a new name I've always been of the mindset that bands are their own entities; and if the lineup changes, it's no longer the same entity, and therefore deserves a new name kind of like how after Ian Curtis' death, Joy Division became New Order; despite the fact that the lineup change was minor but, after standing outside the practice room on our break for seriously half an hour to an hour trying to think of a new name; we just decided to stick with The Remaining and despite my mindset; after how long we spent thinking of names, I can live with that so yeah, things are going well we're going to have kind of a rigorous practice schedule this week, basically the practice days for both bands combined [m,t,th,f,su] so that we can catch up with the songs quicker and then we're going to The Remaining's old schedule [t,th,su] we're planning on writing two new songs, and then we're going to start gigging I think we'll be doing shows starting next month early next month I pray we will after how many times things have started to finally look good and then have gone to hell in this band[and my general luck overall], there's a decent chance things will go wrong again before that I need to have a talk with Ruben it's real easy to see why Gabby gets mad at him so often I mean, we all kind of mock eachother and "attack" eachother a lot like most friends do [right?] but Ruben has a tendency to single out Gabby specifically, and often and I need to talk to him about that so he doesn't fuck things up with the band not to mention his hopes of getting back together with her I don't know how the fuck she put up with him in the first place God knows I couldn't though he does have a sweet ass Adios Amigos � � |
