Sunday, February 08, 2004 Okay, well. Today after my new Chem tuition I went to the store near my tuition teacher's house and got myself a beer. Awesome. I've never even tried that before. They didn't ask for ID or anything. Woohoo! Anyway, today's SUCH a nice day. On my way home from tuition, I told my dad I wanted to be out 'cause it'd be crappy wasting such a nice day at home, so we went for dinner (at, like, 5) at some new little cafe thing. I had my DIM SUM which I've been dying for since, like, FOREVARRR, and my dad had pizza. It was unbelievable pizza, man. It was, what, $4? And it was DAMN GOOD. Like, I ordered so much stuff and when we went to pay, it turned out that the whole bill was less than $10. Shocking, man. And the food was good, too. Yummm. So anyway, then I got home and I lit green tea incense and I grabbed my guitar, chocolate and beer and opened my windows (which I honestly haven't done in a LONG time...stupid air-con-ness) and sat there and started writing a song on what a nice day it is today. It's pretty much done. Maybe I'll write another verse. If I feel like it. Mmm... Beer... Okay, I really should get down to my work. I've got a ton to do. Like, a TON. Oh!! My brother's band got a REVIEW! It's by the Princeton DJ who played their record a couple of months ago. "Just got hold of a bizarre single from a local (?!?!?) band who call themselves Buckets And Batteries. They hail from New Brunswick, a town about twenty miles north of here that's famous for drunken frat jocks, bad bar bands and hot wings (in that order) and I don't think they'll be axed to open for The Boss Jim Gettys at the Court Tavern anytime soon. The A Side of this is a stumbling weirdo folk mantra recorded right out there in the open air, complete with whizzing cars and children on the tape. The second side has three numbers on it. Two of them are bizarre beatbox fueled snippets with foggy electronics draped around them and the closer is a wrenching, stop-start rock improv number that sounds like Demo Moe trying out a new laxative. Wrapped up in a tar-caked manilla envelope cover, this is the type of thing that keeps me in the game. A totally out of nowhere blast of true freakdom, done for the sake of nothing but to unleash beauty and demons. The day I see these guys on the Troubleman society pages is the day I retire from doing everything for nothing and you read that here FIRST. Get one of these at bucketsandbatteries @hotmail.com now before you end up buying one for thirty dollars later." - Tony Rettman
