So that’s it. Try and see them all!!!!!

Every tries to relax but they won’t
Everyone acts like they can but they don’t
Things happen in a flash and it’s broke
There’s a jab, a word, you misspoke

It’s a fight in the night but your tongue you can’t bite anymore
Apology not accepted in fact it’s rejected there’s the door

It’s a highschool level of drama sneaking into the air, oh it’s rife
So lots of hurt feelings and backroom secret dealings, oh it’s life
And it’s nice to get away and pretend you’re okay when you’re not
Sitting on the bed, you can feel your head drift from the spot

You like to pretend you’re above it, but in fact you’re part of it, yes it’s true
All the boys and girls pairing up, then there’s you
It’s a hotel California in fact that should have warned you what it do
You’re starting over(He’s starting over) starting over again

Deja vu Flushing all over again
Instead of Queens it’s Koreatown round this bend
But you’re not in love this time, just yet
Give it time, I’m sure you’ll find, another girl to eat your mind up my friend.

You’re starting over(He’s starting over) you’re starting over again

Starting Over

Anyway… so when I first starting recording songs, I didn’t have a computer and I was distrustful of recording on a computer. So both facts together stopped me from buying such a thing then. And maybe I’m a Luddite? Who knows? All I know is 7 years later, who has egg on his face? This guy(points to self).

So now I have Pro Tools and a shiny MBox 2. But back in the day, I rocked a Roland digital 8 track. And I still have tons of zipdisks full of songs from then. I just counted them, I have 22. And each one will hold around 10 songs or so on average. So that’s like 200 songs to root through. Yeesh.

But it will be nice to finally have everything on ye olde computer and in mp3 form. So as I wander my way through everything I’ll post some things here from time to time. And if you are interested in checking out some old Shelktunes, drop me a line and maybe I’ll make a special tasty mix cd for you!

Okay, back to the salt mines. But here is a song I wrote 10,000 years ago. I think in reality 2002. It’s called, “If It’s Just Me”. Kind of crappy recording quality but it’s charming, right?

So it’s finally completed. The new demo is freaking DONE! If you’d like a copy, bother me sometime if you see me, and I might have some on me. Or you can just drop me a line saying you want one. That’s all ya gotta do!

Here’s a look at the cover designed by the awesome Miss Dyna Moe…
I told her I wanted a Salvation Army band piled up like the Bremen Town Musicians because that’s what it feels like we are sometimes. Me likey! You’ll have to ask me to see and hear the rest.

People are up in arms about the tart business there. But it’s not something that hasn’t been said before. I don’t think it was that egregious at all. I think he’s right. It’s precisely what has been happening with CBS News and anyone who doesn’t think so hasn’t really watched it lately! It’s ridiculous.

Some TWIB Notes:

–If you are watching tv and see this Stop & Shop commercial where a bag of cat food and dog food are talking to each other? And the cat food is hitting on the dog food? That cat food is voiced by me. Now, I just eagerly await my exploding pants commercial(I am not making this up).

–Cavs/Spurs: Most boring NBA Finals of all time? Prolly. Somehow it isn’t as exciting seeing Bron Bron in his first finals as I thought it could be. But the problem is he has nobody to play with. And he just lacks the killer selfish instinct to be a one horse johnny.

–Hell’s Kitchen is on again! (It’s pretty good. I’m not sweet on anyone has much as I was for Virginia, but still good.) I am so happy for something to cut through the summer glut. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m open to them. So far, I am watching Creature Comforts and Hell’s Kitchen, and come next week, The Flight of the Conchords.

–Speaking of, we saw them last night. They were great! I think, dare I say this, even better than Tenacious D!

–Dyna was asking me if Brent and I are going to wear matching shirts again this year. Brent’s wife Meredith does this cute thing where she buys us matching shirts every year and makes us wear them. Don’t know if that will happen this year or not. But my favorite still was the Hawaiian shirts from our 30th. I should compile a photo collage of our matching shirts. Note to self.

–Huck Slim goes into the studio again this weekend. So hopefully after this w/e 6 new tracks will be ready for a demo. Exciting! Look for it soon.

–I think Toys ‘R Us is running some sort of scam. Or maybe the cost of moving sand really is expensive. I wanted to get a sandbox for my nephew this week but the shipping on sandbox is $200! Yeesh. So I guess we’re going to wait until I see him in person to go get it. It’s just as well, this means I get to play in the sandbox too now.
