off to the sublime

Well, I attribute this jump start completely to a band I saw this past weekend. The Church. You may well know them - and you should, if you have a brain cell and a heart beat. This is the band that has reached where no other has tread. Yeah, I know Houses Of The Holy was fuckin phenominal and I know you want your Cake and you want to eat it too, but before I become too presumptuous, let me tell this band is worth it's weight in gold, my friends. If you dig music and you like deep lyrics then take hold and check them out. Start with Hologram of Baal and spread out. you'll find some moments lying by the window looking into pastures that were never there. Or are they? You might find yourself drifting off to Valhalla, or the Straits of Magellan, or over Tunisia?

Well, that's why I am writing about tomorrow night and its only this evening. I am getting myself out there and playing for a live audience once again because of these fellas. I had fallen asleep, gone to the withers, in a way. But, now I am back and I want to affect and cause an effect, I want to infect in the most positive way.

Let me take the time to thank the boys from down under and scandanvia and the noregian countryside.

I know I have a place and it is my music.
