I'm pretty damn thankful for music to pull me though, distract me, motivate me, accompany me through all the ups and downs I face.

“ to get away you need a car. to get a car, you need a job. to get a job, you need a car. ”

3 - "Anyone Human" - Revisions (October 27th, 2009)

Romanticism of the music industry just isn't there. The pipe-dream doesn't happen. One doesn't get signed, instantly get played on the radio and live happily ever after. It's just not like that. If you do not start with a shit-ton of money, you've gotta work your fucking ass off to have the ability to finish your record- let alone tour and be heard. There's no perfect guidebook. It's all trial and error. Ups and downs. More downs than ups. Hell, chances are- if you don't already have an impressive career preceding you, you will not have a chance to gain the backing of a label. You've gotta prove you'd increase their resources, money. Furthermore, most radio stations are owned by one of two companies. As much as the jockeys talk about playing requests, they cannot unless the specific song is on their playlist, which by the way, is generated by the owning company. Unfortunately it takes much more than talent to achieve success. Music is an occupation of time, love and persistency. And adversity, stemming from the core. Loved ones lose respect for those who live hand to mouth. Why struggle when you have the ability to eat, shit and sleep comfortably? Why follow your heart when it only brings heartache? Why be miserable with ever-so-slight glimmers of personal and creative vindication when you can earn a steady paycheck? It's not so black and white. Just as your life isn't a constant party, theirs isn't. It's not easy to split focus to balance human relationships, a day job, and be inspired/write/bring to life- magic. No one's life is easy. Pull your own weight. They're trying to carry their own.

If you know an artist, support them.

If you’re an artist… rock the fuck on and never stop!

"I've been a fan of the band 3 from the moment I was turned onto their CD Wake Pig in 2006... And as much as I already loved the CD, I was even more blown away by their live performance."
- Mike Portnoy / Dream Theater

"Listening to a 3 album or watching them recreate their music live is truly mind-blowing. Be one of the lucky ones to say "I remember them before they were huge", they are that good." - Howard Jones / Killswitch Engage

"One of the few modern bands I truly consider to be great, an inspiration to me and all the members of Co&Ca." - Claudio Sanchez / Coheed and Cambria

“It is hard to come by a band that combines numerous musical elements into an appealing combination. 3 is one of those bands. For their newest album The End is Begun they have created an album that shows they are truly like no other. Each member of the band is an amazing talent on their own. Together they create a sound that will blow your mind. Enjoy!” - Travis Stever / Coheed and Cambria

"3 have it all! Great musicianship, funky grooves, catchy melodies....and their latest CD is my favorite yet! I dig this band so much; they were at the top of my list for the upcoming Progressive Nation tour." - Mike Portnoy / Dream Theater

"One of the great things about having 3 open for Porcupine Tree is how much they made us raise our own game - every night their incendiary 45minute set gave us an almost impossible act to follow. Simply one of the best new live acts around." - Steven Wilson / Porcupine Tree

Somewhere into the atmosphere. A gun, a cure. Let's make pretend these words can mend, you'll write while I mourn. Could you believe them all, the beautiful and pitiful? Could you forgive them once their eyes crawl upon you? Somewhere into the atmosphere. A bullet, A pulse. Divine red rose...Your leaves decompose. We wonder what happens to angels when we fall apart.

Come in
From the cold
Maggot
Feel at home
Infest
To take away the pain of being alone

Caress
Regenerate
And take control

Fly free
With hopes to choke
As sunlight
Hits the window
Toxic glass
Poison prone
One hit
Will leave you dead to the floor

Relapse
Exterminate
They've lost control

Smash the light bulb
Face first
Carve onto
Who the ~~fuck~~ are you
If only the priest
Could exist without
They'd love too
They'd love you

I'm selling a Sunny Day Real Estate ticket (or 2) for face value, and also going. Sunday, Sept 27th at Terminal 5. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

I fucking love this band. Thought I'd never get the opportunity to see them live since they broke up in 1997/2001. Half of the band ended up in Foo Fighters. So psyched they're doing this reunion tour and incredibly bummed the company I wanted for this isn't around.

Anyway, if you're not interested/not around NYC, and haven't heard them before, Please do. Sunny Day Real Estate is a band everyone should know of.

“Simple Words,” “Earth and Sky,” “Alien Angel,” “Life’s Not Fair”

oh man. Joey & Josh Eppard together is too awe-inspiring for words. Friday night they performed two full sets together, for free, at Port of Call in Catskill, NY. They performed old 3 songs, new 3 songs, Joey’s solo songs… Joey singing and on guitar of course with Josh on a stripped down drum set. The night wrapped with a role reversal- Josh on guitar and Joey on drums. Then Joey stayed on the drums and Josh handed off Joey’s guitar to his band mate, Ant Mas. They jammed for a bit and rocked some of Ant’s Session 606 material. The night was so intimate, the brothers chatted with anyone who had anything to say to them. Nothing’s better than your favorite musicians rockin’ your favorite tunes together! And for free! There’s still one more chance to experience the magic for yourself. Friday, September 11th. 7 Main Street. Catskill, NY. 8:00pm. 18+.

I tried to record some of the sets with my digital camera because I can’t possibly keep the awesomeness to myself, but I couldn’t stand there like a robot and film the whole thing. I love the songs too much. Plus I’m not too good (or even steady) with the camera… and the audio quality is quite short of pristine. So I strung a bunch of clips together to give a taste, from my perspective. It’s just too bad no one leeched an audio recording!

“The End is Begun,”
“Trail of Tears,” “Helpless Belvedere”

“The Game,” “Lay Down the Law,”
“Balloon,” “Tail Between the Legs,” “Paint By Number,” “Amaze Disgrace”

Joey & Josh Eppard wrap up "Amaze Disgrace," swap instruments and jam for a bit. Josh hands Joey's guitar off to his Mours band mate, Ant "Session 606" Masington. Joey and Ant rock the Session 606 songs "Sound of Machines" and "Our Colour Green."

Saturday I was in Kingston, but felt compelled to hang in The Rock. Good thing, cause as it turns out, Zach Deputy had a gig at Sullivan Hall in NYC that my homies were going to. Unfortunately I missed his set, but was greeted at the door with a ticket to pick up a recording of it at the merch table half hour later. I picked up his album, Sunshine, too as I've been waiting anxiously to hear it. I heard some clips at Applehead back in March... Saturday the 14th. The day before he hit the studio, Zach had performed in Paramus, NJ. His van was stolen, but that didn't damper his spirt. He pumped out a killer song about it and did the best he could with CJB and Mike Birnbaum (Coheed and Cambria, Codeseven, Anadivine, Straylight Run, Weerd Science, Four Letter Lie, The Sleeping, Sugar Red Drive, Tony Levin, Bad Brains - CJB was also the original bassist in 3) in the studio - without his gear. Wavis, Ant and I were called in to contribute some extra vocals and hand claps. Zach intrigued me from the moment I laid eyes on him. Jolly, creative, high-spirited... Referring to Zach's music as eclectic is an understatement. I just wish I could've seen him perform. He does his thing solo, but performs such full-sounding songs with the help of a looper... 200 nights out of the year. He draws in influences from everywhere. Hell, even Calypso! The record is ridiculously good. I couldn't stop smiling while listening to it, save for the moment I teared up.

I have completed one leg of this week's incredulous journey (Rockland to Paramus to Trevose to Kingston). Tomorrow- Allston, MA for Weerd Science and Session 606 @ Harper's Ferry. Possibly something in Kingston Thurs with Session 606. Catskill, NY Friday for Joey & Josh Eppard. Rochester Saturday with Session 606 and Weerd Science. Ending the weekend with the four year celebration of Sofia's birth!!! Sweet!

Doing some late night/early morning lurking, I came across an MC Lars entry inspired by a book I picked up last year at Barnes & Noble. I haven't had the heart to read it for fear that it would negatively impact the way I listen to music. Now I'm rather inspired to crack it open...

2005 – Weerd Science “Friends and Nervous Breakdowns”

As I finished up my final quarter at Stanford in the summer of 2005, I listened to the Weerd Science record. The day after I turned in my last paper, I went camping in Yosemite with my Aunt and Uncle. I listened to this album the whole ride over there. I will always associate it with finishing college.

“I have a degree” I kept reminding myself as I drove through the mountains. “I’m done! Now I can make awesome hip-hop like this all day and night.”

New "3" record: "Revisions" to be released on October 27th / upcoming "3" related performances‏

: theneesh; August 26th, 13:02

Current Location:: The Lab

Hey Everybody,

We've been hard at work making music ever since we got home from our last tour and now we finally have the word on when our next record is coming out. On OCTOBER 27th "Revisions" will be released to the world!

A word on "Revisions"

"3" has always been a band apart. We've never been afraid to follow the artistic impulse, whether it has lead us to genre bending progressive experimentation, or, as in the case of "Revisions," drawn us into a world defined more by melody and lyric than by instrumental prowess. It goes without saying that our goal has always been to create a symbiosis between these qualities, but on this record we find the poles have shifted in favor of the singer-songwriter element of what we do. This collection taps the rich history of "3" by reexamining some of the earlier songs that made us who we are today. Some of them are known from early live bootlegs, others existed only on cassette and were transferred to the internet by dedicated fans who some how dug them up(possibly out of my garage). In any event, these are songs that we felt deserved a second chance, a "revision," if you will. Our passion for music is truly the common thread that binds our diverse body of work.

Upcoming "3" related performances...

Friday, August 28th, 9pm / Joey Eppard - Gartdrumm & JB Tenney
Live @ Keegan Ales - St James Street, Kingston, NY - - no cover

NIGHTMARES FOR A WEEK RELEASE DEBUT EP A FLOOD TOMORROW, AVAILABLE DIGITALLY ON BROKEN ENGLISH RECORDS

KINGSTON, NY - Broken English Records and Music for End Times are excited to announce the release of A Flood Tomorrow, the debut release from Nightmares for a Week. Hailing from Kingston in upstate New York, the trio heralds the awaited return of ex-members of Anadivine in a totally new and kick-ass project. Featuring Bill Manley (vocals, guitar), Sean-Paul Pillsworth (bass, vocals) and Steven Markota (drums), the lineup has more chemistry than the Periodic Table; way easier to understand and just as elemental.

The band's EP was recorded by John Naclerio (Just Surrender, My Chemical Romance, Polar Bear Club) at Nada Recording Studio in New Windsor, NY, so right there your ears might start to get an idea of what they're up against. Get ready for the band to get stuck in there for a while.

Nightmares for a Week play indie rock anthems full of gritty melody, driving rhythm and heart-exploding emotion. They are tour veterans and stage professionals, but each live performance sets new heights of raw energy and appeal.

The band's buzz has been snowballing in the tri-state area on the heels of constant gigging. With a big boost from the well-respected Broken English Records, and the support of their hometown Music for End Times label, expect Nightmares for a Week to hit the road running and never look back.

Nightmares for a Week - A Flood Tomorrow is currently available digitally through Broken English Records on Amazon.com. CD's are also available at live shows.

For fans of Jawbreaker, The Hold Steady, The Get Up Kids, Alkaline Trio.

A high-resolution photo of Nightmares for A Week is available at tinyurl.com/leumql. Visit the band online at myspace.com/nightmaresforaweek

BROKEN ENGLISH RECORDS is run by John Naclerio and features such bands as Just Surrender and Asteria. See brokenenglishrecords.com.

MUSIC FOR END TIMES is an upstate recording collective and label featuring such bands as Dead Unicorn, Acid Arrow and Ads. See musicforendtimes.com.

Current Music:: How It's Made

This past weekend Weerd Science performed at the 5th Annual BBoy BBQ in Rochester, NY. 3.5 songs into their set they got hit with a torrential downpour which lead everyone who could fit under the tent. The rest of the crowd disappeared. When the rain let up, they packed their gear up and relocated to Art to Zen Tattoo to finish what they started and watch the premiere of the “Beyond Gotham” movie with the remaining crowd. Neesh and Ern captured the adventure on camera and posted up their footage to share!

Oh and there’s a new gig on the tour schedule with Session 606. Wednesday, September 2nd at Harper’s Ferry in Allston, Massachusetts. Ages 18+. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

The Leak by John Gourley of Portugal. The Man

: theneesh; July 4th, 13:26

Current Location:: Science Lab

Current Music:: Portugal. The Man - Waiter: "You Vultures!"

Portugal. The Man's fourth album, The Satanic Satanist, recently leaked. I've been a fan of their music and philosophies since I first heard Waiter: "You Vultures!" in 2006. It still is my favorite album to have come out that year. P.TM is a band that makes and plays music for the love of it. Without fail, they have put out an album every year since then. Hell, I went to see them in New Jersey right after Censored Colors came out and they were already talking about wrapping up recording for this album!

The times of the “evil” music Industry are over and the people behind it are all hiding out, losing their hold. You are no longer keeping money from their hands but of the artists behind your favorite songs and albums. The Labels no longer have the power of weighted deals, they bend in our favor now, or better yet (in our place) completely fair. Less people buying records equals less money behind promotion, equals less money behind its release, equals less money behind the tour, equals less opportunities to see your favorite bands....

Absolutely excellent read: http://portugaltheman.net/news/the-leak/

I can entirely relate to the real life situation of what the members of P.TM are experiencing to purse their love, no matter the cost. I put my heart and soul into getting Weerd Science, 3, Joey Eppard, Josh Eppard, The Eppard Brothers, Mours, TheFamily3 recognition they deserve. I have for about five years now. Not a day passes where I don't face negativity for my decision to follow my heart. I work for free and therfore must be foolish, but I believe in the talent, souls and philosopies of Josh Eppard, Joey Eppard, Dave Parker, Kwame, Billy Riker, Ernie Falconer, Chris Gartmann, Daniel Grimsland and Anthony Masington. I've never had so little money to my name, but at the same time I've never been so rich in happiness, ideas, possibility, love and excitement (save for senior year of high school). Enough of my sappiness. Read John Gourley's poigniant response to The Satanic Satanist leaking. It gives excellent insight into to all perspectives.

Lessons Anyone?

It looks like I'll be giving some guitar lessons this Summer on Sundays at the Tom Benton School of Music in Woodstock, between 12pm - 6pm.

Weerd Science at Webster Underground June 12, 2009

: theneesh; June 13th, 16:05

Current Location:: Science Lab

I'm not sure of the order, but Weerd Science, Wavis, Gangstroph, Dirty Ern and Mattrix did

In a City With No Name (first time live!)
My War, Your Problem
God Bless Pepsi
Zodiac
XOXO Hugs N Kisses (Formerly known as "Fuck All People." Mazeman came up too!)
Fuck You and Your Filthy A&R Dept

there were a bunch of requests for "Heaven Burns" so Josh spit a verse acapella! Also an overwhelming chant for "one more song," but they'd already exceeded their set time Sad

Fucking wiiiicked set. DRK's awesome for having WS on the bill! Kryptik and Fury were on fire!

Dope seeing WhiteOut too

I tried to snap some photos / grab some video clips... but I guess Webster's under new management or something and wouldn't let anyone capture footage, save for the MassConcerts house photographer Jeremy Saffer. Probably better off anyway, since he's a stellar artist. I can't wait to see the moments he captured! He took those photos a while back of Joey with his ESP and even longer back- Coheed and Cambria at the Palladium. Gorgeous shots

Damn, it's far too long to July 10th. Must see Weerd Science again!

I did manage to grab two short video clips. One of dudes setting up and another of the crowd singing "My War, Your Problem". It was soo good seeing Josh back at it. I hadn't seen a full set since the September 22nd, 2007 Lancaster gig. I've gotta say, Weerd Science is stronger than ever!!!

I've been roaming around
i was looking down at all i see
painted faces fill the places i can't reach

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

and all you know
and how you speak
countless lovers under cover of the street

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

off in the night,
while you live it up I'm off to sleep
waging wars to shake the poet and the beat

i hope it's going to make you notice
i hope it's going to make you notice
someone like me
someone like me
someone like me

somebody

(i'm waiting)

someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody

i've been roaming around
i was looking down at all i see
