several lifetimes ago (aka the early 1990's) i was in an original punk-funk-jazz band thing that played the local pubs and recorded a few dodgy albums.It is brutal, brutal, brutal. Though probably not the worst thing I've been apart of- that will always belong to this couple who hired me to write with/record for them. I have hours of them having very uncomfortable marital arguments and proselytizing me to become some sort of neopagan vegan. I cut thing off and gave them back their money, just to get away from the crazy.
It's a shame 'cause the wife could really sing- like a once in a lifetime voice you come across that isn't already a professional singer in some capacity.
too much crazy, too many egotistical psychos, too much struggling, tho i do miss writing music, its amazing when you are in the zone.
as for news from me, australia is pretty much in full recession now, i live week to week expecting my main contract to go away and when it does ill be dropping all the expenses out of my life like internet.
