Hello….hope you guys are good…I know I haven't blogged in a while…but hey I hear I been sending out mad bulletins!!...ha!...a couple of peeps have complained but let me just share one secret….um come a little closer…cloooooser…. HIT THE FUCKIN' DELETE BUTTON YO!....FOR REALZ!....hahaha….anyway ….it's just that in these crazy myspace times I guess you gotta use extreme measures…it's the new guys who are running that part of my site…they don't give a FUCK…ha!....gettin' them views/plays up!!....so if this pisses you off ….sooooorrrry….love you anyway…

Soooo…I just got back from the west coast where I had a little tour and then stayed in LA recording for a while…I had lots of adventures…met tons of cool people….you KNOW who you are….some of them even came to visit me while I was in LA….I feel like I need an "I survived my trip to LA July '08" t shirt though…I had some good times eating medical grade pot brownies which are really ridiculous…these are not your grandma's brownies yo…or even your Vermont-living, snow boarding college buddie's pot brownies….these are FUCKED UP…I solved the entire world's problems on them so if you guys have ANY questions just ask… ; ) … also I was in my first earthquake!!....5.8 muthafuckers…my LA friends were like, "that was a damn good solid introductory earthquake….for a beginner"…fuck yeah it was!...it was pretty scary…my adrenaline went through the roof and it took me like an entire day to calm down…which brings me to another interesting plot twist during my trip…I was house sitting a 'very good friend' of mines place in LA who happens to own a snake and on the 5th or so day I passed by the little snake pit on my way to get a beer and notice that there ain't no snake snakin' around in there….fuck…I see a little crack between the two screens that clearly says 'there is a snake on the loose'….great…now I'm not really scared of snakes but it's in my nature to stay away from any and all snake like objects….i was born this way it's not a choice.... ; )

…so on the same day as the earthquake I was going to sleep the 5th night in a row with a snake "missing" in the apartment…pretty much all my friends thought I was crazy and said that they could never get any sleep in that situation so I was pretty impressed with myself...fuckin' bad ass I am….especially after a night of pot brownie paranoia where my buddy Cristian's girlfriend gave me a whole speech about all the 'horror stories' she's heard about people finding their lost reptiles in the grossest ways possible…I'm like "whattaya mean?"…and she says "wellll, I mean what's the warmest spot in the apartment?....you….and then what's the warmest spot on you?"….ummm….gulp….naahhhh…fuck that…ima be fine yo…I'll just sleep with my hand down my shorts …no different than any other night… : )

…but back to the night in question….earthquake night…soon to be known as earthquake/I found the snake night….it was 2:30 am or so and I hear noise in the other room…not a lot of noise but persistent…I try hard to ignore it cuz I wanna sleep…but finally I get outta bed and look around warily and hear it again and look to my left and there on the vanity table is a pair of sun glasses moving by themselves and a snake tail sticking out from the pile of trinkets ….yikes!…so I basically got my second adrenaline rush of the day and did my best Steve Irwin impression and scooped his slippery ass up into some fucking plastic thing using only a broom handle and some rubber gloves as a my tools (kids don't try this at home) and voila!….he's back in his sad little habitat and now it really sinks in that he was there sliming around the whole time …which oddly freaked me out more than him being loose cuz I had convinced myself that he had moved on to bigger and better things and was maybe partying it up with some hot starlets somewhere and not lurking around my general vicinity…oh well…at least alls well that ends well….

…once again thanks for all your support…and hey listen …bulletins are your friend…and that's what we're all here for …right ?...friends ….otherwise just go be a hermit somewhere…that's pretty fun…and then you can have your hand as a friend…right?...P!nk said it so well…I don't know what I'm saying but yeahhhhhhhhh….caffeine is my friend….and so are you…ttys…l.p.

Hello!!...hope this finds you all well and getting psyched for some summer action up in here for a change…. lots of new shit happening!!...recording, doin' some shows and a video as well!...first off I just got back from Miami where I was recording some of the record at this beautiful studio called Circle House…see it on the L.P. behind the scenes blog…it's owned by a reagge band called Inner Circle who are most famous for their song that is the intro to the Cops show…'Bad Boys Bad Boys watcha gonna do?"…cool place…very Mtv Cribs…I'm very psyched with all we got done…. I worked with the producer Steve Morales with Cristian De Lano engineering and playing some guitar and Kris Hawkins playing guitar and bass and this guy named Soram (aka Ray) working the drum machine….we worked from a base of drum machine and then built around that…I really like working this way cuz it makes shit a little easier to mess with as you build the song…we worked pretty much all through the nights…I didn't get much sleep and everyone except me and Kris fueled themselves with the gange which I'm always amazed at…some peeps get so focused with that shit…it's crazy…I just get stupid and can't sing which is not a good thing…so after I finished my vocals I stuck to my old friend alcohol to keep me going…can't wait for you guys to hear these songs!

We started scheduling shows too a bit cuz we kept getting offers and didn't want to keep saying no for fear of nobody asking anymore…lol…nothing on our home turf yet but we'll get there…gonna play in Dewey Beach on May 10th (acoustic) and it's at the Rusty Rudder (stage A) go to http://www.deweybeachfest.com/chickfest/, a festival in Jersey on Sunday June 22nd @ the Stone Pony at 7 pm and then starting July 6th we'll do a week of shows in Cali ….still really in getting the record done mode but really psyched to hit the stage again ..it's been too long!!!...I know a bunch of people just muttered "word"…under their breathe…word.

…and last of all…we're making a video for Good With You in LA…looking forward to it but it'll be a new one for me cuz the only video I ever made was for Wasted and me and my friend Bill did that in like 4 hours on the street and in his apartment…been practicing my lip-synching skills….watermelon, watermelon, watermelon…will try and get some behind the scenes footage for you guys to watch...with me in it maybe this time : D...wish me luck!

this fucking Motley Crue book is ridiculous...very silly....a little LA history...

oh right BLOCK...!!%&..@*!.....fuckin' fuck fuck....listen I just don't feel like writing today okay?.....NO ....don't ask...fuck off I said NO ...no means no ...and not like back of the Impala under the bra, panties in a ball on the front seat kind of no but ...uh NOOOOO...I don't feel like it ...I've got mace kind of no...this next song is for you...for all you do ...rhymes with shoe and boo hoo... and true and the skies are blue....and IIIIIIIIIEEEEEEIIIIIII will always love YOU-oooooo oooooo ....poor Whitney ....seriously what went wrong??? I mean CRACK ...jesus ...that's just so serious...it's like... all that so you don't have to come out as a lesbian?....Bobby Brown???...I'm obviously procrastinating sorry....and on your time ...doubly sorry...btw...had a sorta bad day yesterday and the crowning achievement of the day was walking the dogs...they're not mine I might add ...don't wanna give anyone the idea that I have time to own a dog and properly take care of it ...lest you all run to your nearest aspca and adopt...no I just walk them for the guy I live with which I pretty much feel I have to do everyday cuz they're all attatched to me now...anyway back to the fun...got home after bad day and walked fucking super annoying chalupa...don't even fucking start with the whole chiowowowowowoohuhhuwehbd bullshit ...don't care....they had just been groomed that day and smelled pretty good as far as dogs go...the other one is an Australian cattle dog named Honey....so Honey does her whole "hat dance I'm about to take a shit thing" and at the precise moment she starts shitting... fucking taco bell mutherfucker decides he's going to lean the entire side of his body into her uhhh... excreting apparatus along with a very intricate harnass thing he's wearing....so I sit there dumb-founded with my little Ralph's shopping bag wondering how to pick the shit up....I literally almost chucked the whole dog in the bag and just dropped the entire package into the fucking dumpster which was right there...it would be soooo easy.....but I wasn't raised like that so I just left both dogs tied to a tree with a note...I'm sure they're fine.....thanks for listening ...I had to tell someone...oh and all you animal lovers...just fucking relax I'm kidding... my current mood thing says I'm anxious....this is what anxious sounds like.... ....l.p.

holy shit I don't blog enough...have been pretty much strictly writing songs...I don't even think I just spelled writing right ...who knows at this point...I'm posting lyrics to Wasted cuz I got a bunch of new friends wanting to know what the hell I'm saying...cuz it's the theme song to a tv show called South Of Nowhere....dope ...seriously...and the fact that it's a lesbian show ....bonus!...I'm in LA writing as I said and I miss NYC terribly but LA is growing on me a bit.....the weather doesn't suck but I don't like how seperated everyone is...like the suburbs and you know how I feel about the suburbs...ha...no no they're cool...not loud enough for me...plus I got some endless summer shit going down here....but again back to the seperation....you can't go to a bar to meet a friend for a drink casually....this is how it goes : you call said friend who is usually at an audition or going to one, working on a film set or acting in one, eating at a burger joint or driving by one and you say "hey, wanna get a drink?" "Sure." Then you decide where for half an hour and it's ALWAYS far away from both of you (half hour to 45 min) ....you drive down there and find parking for another 15 min to half hour...by that time Happy Hour is either over or Sad now...so the next time you feel like doing the same you don't....you buy a six pack and drink a beer alone in the kitchen....or take a yoga class or something....good times...no really it's good ...just different....I don't know I wasn't really prepared to blog ....it just happened....I just woke up to the soothing sounds of this chiwowa hahahahahaha ...how the fuck do you spell that?....the taco bell dogs??...shit...his name is Biggie so I'll just call him that....the soothing sounds of Biggie barking his little chalupa head off....gotta go walk him so he can leave a poop the size of a peanut on someone's lawn....goodbye all...until next time....I think I might start this blog stuff again ...it's fun...L8tr


Wasted

Don't waste it
It's only here for today
You don't own it
So you can't just give it away
Forever is half a moment away
So don't waste it
It's only here for today
Everything is waiting here


Chorus:


Don't mess with my heart, don't mess with my mind
Won't let you get us down this time.
You'll like what you see and take it from me
You'll learn to see it over time.
Get wasted on love, get wasted on life, get wasted on anything that's right.
Get wasted, get wasted, get wasted, get wasted with me.


It seems empty
I don't know what you expect
If you don't give
You're never going to get
Forever is half a moment away
So don't waste it
It's only here for today
Everything is waiting here


Chorus

Holy shit it's fucking cold on this coast!! All this time in LA has turned me into a total wuss in the temperature department. It's been quite a run around since I landed in Newark 1 am on Thursday morning. In ten hours I was back in the van with the ass clowns headed to Boston for a gig at the Paradise Lounge with Secret Cock, a fun little power trio we play with sometimes…make no mistake Secret Cock rocks!…for real. Their guitar player Amy totally hooked us up with a place to stay…she remodels old houses and consequently hers was awesome…she even had a fully stocked rehearsal room downstairs which we completely availed ourselves of the next day…we didn't want to leave but Northampton was calling…We hadn't played at Eleven's in a long time and we were greeted with a real nice crowd…I think for a change we had more people on our side of the bar than the terrifying dance club that Eleven's shares a bathroom with…think Roadhouse starring Pat Swayze ….Campy loves that movie.

We got home to nyc at 6 am and that night had a gig at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ. This was our first time at this legendary club, a place where Bruce Springsteen is known to wander in and see his favorite local talent. We were opening for a guy named Joe Greshecky who's really big there and we had a great crowd and got a bunch of new fans…our NJ crew was there rocking out and even helped me when I completely forgot the words to Change of Scenery…whoops.


Those crazy Jersey kids even showed up at the Mercury Lounge on Tuesday…I had a great time at that show…I think that was loudest a crowd has ever screamed out the words at a show…it was awesome and much drinking ensued.

Now talk about cold….Philly was fucking freezing. Usually the Grape is packed in it's other "dance' rooms but apparently the dj sucked ass and it was just us rock people huddling together to keep warm. The sound is so good there so it's always fun to play. Chefmatt brought the usual 800 pretzels for everyone to eat…it was also his birthday so Happy Birthday again Matt...all in all a fairly sedate winter night…no signing of asses or tilting of glasses for me…boo.

Pittsburgh is always a pleasure but it sure is far away…damn…good thing we got some great people out there. Once again our buddy Gordon and his band So Have I opened for us and brought a shitload of people…thanks Gordy, my wingman…my girl Dove helped me out singing the end of Perfect which is always welcome…we took some requests like Cinderella but not Huge In Japan…sorry…and I finally made it through a Pitt gig without destroying Josh's pedals…amazing…later that night I started to feel a little sick though….

Well….what can I say but I'm SO sorry to any of the people who went out of their way to see us in Columbus or Cincinnati…my running around caught up to me finally and a nasty stomach flu jumped me…the boys and I decided we better get me home for a couple of days and save the rest of the tour because I wouldn't have been able to sing and probably would've hurt my damn self…it sucks…I hate missing shows…please give us another chance next time you guys…I will rock you twice as hard…promise…
So after three days of not leaving the house I was better and ready (I think) for Bowling Green…I mean how could I not be with the amazing response we always get there… those guys/girls are unbelievable…even during spring break the place is packed for us …once again Matty T and Drama Club opened up for us and completely rocked which always helps in the "packed" dept.…I always feel a little shaky the first gig after I'm sick but I was fine and we flew threw our set and whipped everybody up…afterward I had a great time talking to all the usual suspects and a bunch of new ones…then I went back to the van and fell asleep for about three hours while the boys completely annihilated themselves doing shots of Jameson's with the owners of the place…Nate and Wally…I awoke to the sound of them all slurring and laughing and wondering where Tony was…no one could find him…we figured he knew where the hotel was and maybe he started to walk…so while I was driving them home we get a call from Nate who said they found Tony in the back of the bar curled up under a booth sleeping and…surprise!!…smashed out of his mind…Nate said he'd drop him off for us…this was a first at least…it's nice to still have those…Tony can sleep anywhere as he once demonstrated in our old van by squeezing into the wheel well and catching a few z's…he was a contortionist in a past life I just know it…

On the way to Indianapolis as Tony tried to order a coffee at McDonald's he heard someone from the backlines of the kitchen say, "Elvis is here…" ,obviously referring to him to which he replied "I heard that!" which was greeted by silence and pimply faced teens behind the counter trying to look busy…poor Tone…he just wants to be left alone …is that so wrong?…and that my friends is the only interesting thing I have to report about Indianapolis…the Melody Inn reminded me of the good/bad old days when we would play a place for the first time…there were a couple of people there to see us and I wanna thank them…Jodie and Angela thanks for driving all that way after you missed us in Columbus…you rule…. but yeah it was pretty sparse…the stage set up put us in this line formation that's not too conducive to rocking out together but we managed…

Chicago helped me forget all about that last town…what was it again?…yeah anyway so…I love Chicago…we played a show with our old friends from NYC called Suffrajett…they all relocated to Chi Town a year or two ago to be together and rock…they put on an awesome show before us…the sound at Schuba's is so fucking good I could cry…it really made me want to just go nuts vocally and I pretty much did…in my book anyway…everybody sang along and we had a great time…so thanks Chicago for getting us back on track…I saw Pinkbeat who hooked me up once again with a ton of music dvds and cds…thank you thank you…you're the best and Blondievip who gave me a dvd of our last show marked "for L.P. only"…you guys are too good to me…serious…our girl Pearl hooked us up with a place to stay and you just couldn't ask for anything more…oh and thanks to Katie and the dyke crew from Milwaukee who showed up too…I had a great time hangin' out after the show…tell the Tom's I said hi…
