So ya wanna be a rockstar?

A Coup of the Stage, after the lead singer was thrown from the stage... I started singing.

OK, maybe thats not true, but I did sing on stage with them....

Saturday night, we headed down to Bham for a little Phantom planet. I must say Phantom Planets new album is one of the most disappointing purchases I have made in a while. Musically it is OK, but completely not what I was expecting. I had always appreciated Phantom Planets, indie pop rock sound. Cheery, happy, pretty lo key. But the new album threw them showed a totally different band in there sound. More the popular Garage Rock filling the air waves the last couple of years.

In other words a total sell out in my estimation.

But the show was still pretty good. Unfortunately no early indie pop stuff. Yet, the venue was small and the show good. The music is much better live than on the CD.

Yet the highlight... they invited people on stage. Seems I noticed an open mic, after Tommy’s lack of desire to take advantage of the situation... I found myself on the stage singing with Phantom, to one of there recent rifting works. Something for the resume and the checkmark book of life.

O_O They all have crosses on their hands.

Those are X's. They mean one of two things:

1) They are all too young to drink

or

2) They are straight edge

or

C)

they all have some strange genetic disorder...

I think it's a conspiracy!

the answer is C

Strange genetic disorders? Rockstars indeed. Excellent way to be a rockstar, rushing the stage and crashing the mike.

I think the answer is 1 or A .... or maybe they all have a genetic disorder and they are all related?? I dont know...i think it's probably 1A

Maybe they are pretending that they have a genetic disorder to trick us, and in reality they are secret agents of the FBI. Perhaps they have come to get samples of Jeremy's singing, so they can turn it into a secret death wave to destroy innocent bystanders in the war against green freezerburned cats of doom! ....not that I know about this plot or anything.... *puts on aluminum foil hat and scampers off*

I like visions of people scampering.

I had a dream last night that I was riding up the road next to the beach in Destin with a friend of mine. There were big clumps of driftwood out in the water shaped like buffalos.

It was a nice day.
