Twas Windmills & The Mucho Hysterico Tour
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008We performed three shows in a week and by the third show i hated all of our songs. As i type this i am humming some of our songs in my head to see if i like them and i dont really like them which is ironic because i wrote them. Is that irony? The difficulty i am having with this group is that i have no idea what our sound is supposed to be. It was easy with the Joiner Inners. It should all sound sort of like Guided by Voices or Superchunk or Pavement or Sebadoh or Chavez if we were feeling saucy. I dont know what this new stuff is supposed to sound like. I dont know what i want it to sound like. I really just want the songs to be good and i dont know if any but one of them are. there is a chance i am being to hard on myself and i can accept that. it just really bothers me that none of these songs are clubbing me in the throat with goodness the way the Buildup did and the way You and Yours and Combination of Things did. The old Three Way Duel stuff grew on me and i think all of the Joiner Inner stuff i great, even the stuff that is terrible i think it is all fantastic. I dont know about the Twas Windmills. Oh and if anyone has not yet heard my sure fire cure for a pulled muscle in your back then here you go, you can give your thanks at a later date: 12-15 advil in a 3 hour period, 3 beers (I drank 2 Harpoon Summers and a Michelob but feel free to experiment with whatever you like), play an outdoor festival show and then wheel your amp back to your car two blocks away. Next day when you wake up, no more back pain.
