Month: April 2004

Rob and I talked about this last night. Let’s pick an artist each month and have everyone learn a song or two of theirs. A good way to pick the artist would be to hold nominations in the comments of this post (nominate one artist) and then I’ll change the poll to reflect the nominations.…

Nirvana’s band bio from their Bleach days shows that they knew they had something good, but didn’t take themselves too seriously. Here’s a good lesson for the musicians out there! Most of the bios I read on your sites are so bad they make me want to avoid you. Some are worse than others, and…

Come out tonight to the Tree House open mic. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out and drink coffe. Lots of good musicians are already signed up to play. See you there!

Last week we had a good time at the open mic, although I was a little out of it. We had a few new performers, which is always great unless they suck. Luckily for us they didn’t. Jay posted a bunch of pictures from the open mic, too. 1. Ben Garvey – Among others I…

Adrien is opening up for the famous Jeffrey Gaines tomorrow night at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia. Tickets are $20 and you should definitely check it out if it isn’t sold out already. Congratulations to Adrien for landing the gig!

Here’s an idea for a movie script. Let me know what you think. It’s a comedy where a guy goes to a hypnotist to do a past life regression. This is where your past lives are revealed to you under hypnosis. During his first session the guy sees himself in the American Civil War, fighting…

The place packed with high schoolers on spring break, but only 9 performers showed up. It wasn’t a problem because most of the performers stuck around long enough for extended sets. 1. Ben Garvey – I played “All My Dreams are in Cartoon”, Beck’s “Jackass,” and “99%.” 2. Jarrod Schafer – “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and…

Some people have a fascination with tabloids, gossip, or driving by car accidents. I like to read the Craigslist missed connections. For the uninitiated, a missed connection is when someone thinks they had a fate inspired moment with a stranger, but for whatever reason (usually a good reason) they never meet. So instead of talking…

Tuesday night I stopped by the Doc Watson’s open mic and it turned out my old friend J the Enabler was hosting in place of the usual guy. Before I got to Doc Watson’s I stopped by Moriarty’s and tried their buffalo wings because several sources cited them as the best in Philly. They were…

Come out tonight to the Tree House open mic. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out and drink coffe. See you there!

I’m back. The weather was awesome and the drive back was long (I flew down there). The official theme song of the drive home was “A Life Of Arctic Sounds” by Modest Mouse and my new favorite song is “Big Dipper” by Built to Spill. I spent my last night in Florida at Hugh Jorgan’s…

I’m in Florida, but you suckers can still go to the Tree House open mic with your host Roz King. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out and drink coffe. Have fun.

Unless this freak snow prediction for tomorrow comes true, I’ll be in Florida until next weekend. Roz King will be hosting the open mic this week, so that should be an interesting event. For everyone out here who thinks this post is pointless, I point you to this.

The open mic had another decent sized crowd this week, although we didn’t have any new performers. I’ll be away this week so Roz will be hosting the open mic on Wednesday the 7th. 1. Ben Garvey – I broke a string during “Why Now Satan.” I have got to get some lighter picks. I…
