Current mood:  blustery
Category: Sports

1.  What is your best friends name?
Trevor Headley Evans-Young III

2.  What color underwear/boxers wearing now?
Mostly black, but there's sort of a blue/purple diamond pattern going on.

3.  What are you listening to right now?
Magical Mystery Tour by the Beatles

4.  Whats your favorite number?
Infinity.

5.  What was the last thing you ate?
An icecream sandwich.  Followed by another ice cream sandwich.

6.  If you were a crayon what color would you be?
Magenta.  I like the sound of that word.  Magenta.

7.  How is the weather right now?
Oppressively hot.


8.  Who was the last person you talked 2 on the phone?
My grandmother - Christine Gaisser.  She's awesome.

9.  The first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
The same thing I notice about people of the same sex - just the general vibe I get from the person.  Whether they seem benevolent, trustworthy, interesting, intelligent, and generally worth my time.  To me it's the personality that determines whether a girl is sexy or not.  Generally, eye-humping comes later (although not MUCH later).

10.  Do you have a significant other?
Significant other what?  (No)

11. Favorite TV show?
I don't really watch TV.  Uhm... I guess I like Jools Holland.

12.  Siblings?
No.  Aren't you glad there aren't others?

13.  Height?
6'2"

14.  Hair color?
Uhm.  Blond-ISH?

15.  Eye Color?
Green

16.  Do you wear contacts?
Nein.

17.  Favorite Holiday?
Holidays seem kind of forced and arbitrary to me.  I like celebrating, but having to confine it to certain pre-determined days is frustrating.  Life should be a celebration, whereas celebration does not involve greeting card companies or fighting in toy stores.  I like giving and receiving gifts, but Christmas is usually a pretty sorry time of year.

18.  Month?
of Sundays

19.  Have you ever cried for no reason?
Perpetually.

20.  What was the last movie you watched?
Just had a double feature at Jon Carr's.  We watched A Simple Plan and Shotgun Stories.  I came home and tried to watch Jesus Christ Superstar, but that lasted about five minutes.

21.  Favorite Day of the Year?
The one I'm living in right now.

22.  Are you too shy to ask someone out?
As a general rule, yes.  However, I'm trying to learn to be more assertive in these areas.  I'm pretty social awkward though.

23.  Can you do a headstand (not using the wall)?
No.

24.  Hugs or Kisses?
Both.  In excess.

25.  Chocolate or Vanilla?
Waffle cone explosion, or whatever the hell that stuff is called

26.  Do you want your friends to respond to this?
Not necessarily, but I might read it anyway.

27.  Who is most likely to respond?
Statistically, probably Nicole or Kirk.

28.  Who is least likely to respond?
Probably some band from Nebraska whose friend request I accidentally accepted last week.

29.  What books are you reading?
I'm still lollygagging through the Sound & the Fury, but I'm about to start Confederacy of Dunces.

30.  Piercings?
No.  I hate punctures, needles, that type of thing.

31.  Favorite movies?
Eraserhead, the Holy Mountain, Brazil, the Seventh Seal, Interiors, Singing in the Rain, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Vertigo, tons of others.

32.  Favorite football Team?
FUUUUUUUCK SPORTS.

33.  what were u doing before this?
Answering question number 32.

34.  Butter, Plain or Salted popcorn?
Butter, salt, garlic, curry, cumin, red pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg (go EASY on the last three).  In correct proportions, this is good on almost anything.

37.  Dogs or cats?
5 cats and a dog.  Overkill.

38.  Favorite flower?
"Flower Punk"

39.  Been caught doing something you weren't supposed to do?
Define "supposed." 

40.  Do you have a best friend of the opposite sex?
Not for long.

41.  Have you ever loved someone?
In some capacity, although I now understand love in a completely different way and don't think my past "loves" were very healthy relationships.  Hopefully, this knowledge will aid me.

42.  Who would you like to see right now?
I'm enjoying my privacy at the moment.  Although there's probably a couple of people I'd compromise it for.

43.  Are you still friends with people from kindergarten?
Elizabeth Thornton.

44.  Have you ever fired a gun?
Yeah, though usually not very enthusiastically.

45.  Do you like to travel by plane?
Yeah.  I always buy a music magazine in the airport and read it on the plane while drinking a V8.

46.  Right-handed or Left-handed?
Right!

47.  How many pillows do you sleep with?
Two.  I usually spoon one.

48.  Are you missing someone?
I don't think so.  Head count!!!

49.  Do you have a Tattoo?
No.  I think I'd look even dorkier with tattoos.

50.  Anybody on myspace that you'd go on a date with?
I'm sure there's at least a couple, but I'm not going to specify any.

We played a couple of weird shows in Lake Charles that Steph Rambin's dude Dusty set up.  The first one at 710 went pretty well relative to the ones that have succeeded it... however there was a metal band playing in the adjoining room and at times their volume interfered with our   The cook really liked us and hooked us up with some badass food the next night.  I had some snapper, calamari, gumbo, and the best spinach I've ever had in my life.  Then we played this place called Dakota's with Dusty's band and there was almost no response.  However they had one of those downloading jukeboxes and put Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" on it and felt slightly vindicated, although no one really seemed to look up from their beer.  Apparently DOWN is some sort of Pantera spin-off group.  Who knew?

Our first show in Austin we got a terrible response from a bunch of old timers at this blues jam kind of dive.  A couple of people there were really nice, but we got a lukewarm response and a little heckling.  We got free red beans and rice though.  Which was good.  This dude Clayton who set us up out here showed us around all the clubs and pointed us to a couple of places that might be a little better suited to our ... uhm... medium.  We slept in the van in a Wal-Mart parking lot.  The van started acting up so we took it in to a shop (where, of course, the van acted fine).  Last night we set up to play on the roof of an empty booty club while it was snowing.  We got our sound check and THEN they decided it would be okay if we moved inside.  Once we started our set, all 3 customers left.  We're staying with this cool family though - Don n Elaine n Caitlin n Anna.  Don has an Emmy.  Friends of Tyler's.  Cool people.  THEY came to see us play to an empty house.  We're leaving Austin tomorrow and I'm getting a major jones to get some record shopping in before we leave.  Pizza's almost done.  See ya.

We've been on tour for a week.  I was sick when we left but even still, the first few days were pretty mellow.  We played at Roosters in Auburn with Rise Up, but I started feeling bad and went to sleep so I missed the Roof Rabbits and Firewood.  Whatever.  Then we just crashed at Nadine's place for a couple of days.  It was a nice relaxing little vacation from Florence.  I mainly sat around playing guitar and writing lyrics.

From there it was off to Mobile.  We played this little bar called the Blind Mule.  They had all kinds of cool art on the wall.  Tyler bought this painting of this hot trailer park chick with a camo hat, tube top, combat boots, and daisy dukes (she had a BEER GUT!).  Some chick had made some sort of sculpture or relief or something of this giant vagina.  It was huge.  Like the size of my entire torso.  We played sloppy.  So what.  We saw Crystal at the show and crashed with Tia and her dude Keith.  They were really awesome hosts.  Tia cooked this breakfast casserole that was a delightful alternative to the tuna and off brand nutri-grain bars we eat in the van.  I acquired a classical guitar.  YAY! 

We went back to the bar the next day to thank the owners, and we ran into this total oddball named Bart T. Dumont.  He and his lady-friend sipped wine and engaged us in lengthy dialogue about everything from art and the Coast Guard.  Bart's a total literary character.  Far easier to imagine as a figment of F. Scott Fitzgerald's imagination than an actual living entity.  He took us to some bar to see the "real Mobile."  It was... uhm... entertaining for a moment.  Then I got depressed for a moment and we used that as a good excuse to leave.  We got lost on the way back to Tia's which resulted in much hilarity.

I'm in New Orleans right now.  Last night we played at this club called the Tarantula Arms.  We played a short set to about 10 people.  Most of them were in the other band.  They were pretty fun - old school punk covers with spastic female vocalist.  Tyler acquired a bike somehow.  We're still trying to figure out how we're going to attach it to the van.  In a couple of hours we're gonna head over to Lake Charles.  We're gonna stay with Stephanie Rambin and her dude Dusty, who set us up with a couple of shows.  I haven't seen Stephanie in a while.  Looking forward to rocking Chuckwater's face off.  Unh.  Catch up with you kids later.

Love nuggets,

Cody C. Gaisser

Current mood:  quixotic

Chuck me a flaming life preserver of perspective.  Tell me something I haven't heard a thousand times a day through my blue tooth brain implant.  Drop a load of steaming cosmic epiphany on my neurotic pseudo-existentialist/romantic/nihilist/humanist/agnostic/visigoth postherior.  Talk about the meaning of life, art, the human mind, sanity, the universe, reality, politics, sociology, whatever you've got.  Talk to me about SOMETHING real.  Something more real than reality.  If you want a phone number to call, send me a message.  I may or may not give it to you.

The Longships are looking to expand our sonic palette beyond the guitar/bass/drums power-trio format.  If you play an instrument - ANY INSTRUMENT - and are serious and committed about creating sonic art that is unrestricted by contrived genre boundaries and false tonal dogma, please send a message to me, the Longships, or give me a call at 256-394-3683.  If no one answers your call, leave a message.

Thank you.

This isn't so much a journal as a newsletter from Codyland.  Most people who actually hang out with me know this stuff already, but some of you don't.  So let's see...  Since the last time I left a blog......

1)  my wife left me and moved to Missouri (and she took my cats)

2)  i nearly had a nervous breakdown over it, and quit my job (but i'm okay now, this has been a couple of months ago)

3)  work  has been completed on the new upcoming Redmouth album (www.myspace.com/redmouthband), produced by yours truly

4)  i have re-developed my old sleeping disorder (but i'm working on it)

5)  i have begun production on the new Howlin' Chris record

6)  i have acquired (from Howlin' Chris) a four-track recorder and have been recording home demos of my myriad of depressing songs about my wife leaving me

7)  but i'm okay now

So open mic has been going relatively well.  Not to say it's gone without a hitch.  Hitches there have been.  But the overall effect has been positive.  We still need to keep new people coming in.  We don't this to be a typical boring open mic where the same exact acts play every week without variation.  Although we'd love to have some good quality regular acts...  Sean and Redmouth, this means you.  For those who don't know I'm going to whore it for a second...  It goes on at Old Town Tavern on Montgomery in downtown Sheffield (where Scooter's used to be).  It starts at 9 pm every Tuesday night.

Other than that I've been keeping plenty busy.  I had a show last weekend in Huntsville at Judge Crater's Tavern with Thomas Function.  It went pretty smoothly.  Thomas Function were incredible.  Those kids are brilliant!

Of course I've been spending a lot of time at work, and aside from that I've got this obnoxious insurance issue I've been trying to work out where the emergency room gave me a drug test neither I nor my company requested, so my company's insurance won't pay it.  And I don't think I should have to pay the $270 dollars I've been billed for it since I could have told them I wasn't on any drugs or medication (actually I did tell them and they tested me anyway). 

Last night I laid down some tracks for the new Redmouth album.  It's gonna be nice.  "Meathook Baby" will be a triple uranium smash hit.  The rhythm guitar is total buzzsaw fuzztone wonderland (thank you Big Muff), and the lead guitar is a big flatulent Telecaster tuned down to drop-A (making it pretty much as low as the bass, but grittier).   

Tyler and I have spent a lot of time talking about our society and the duality of the traps we set for ourselves.  We live in homogenized suburban neighborhoods which present us with a facade of uniformity and equality.  Yet inside our homes, we are isolated from the outside world and develop bizarre multi-facited personal lives that we hide from the rest of the world.  We try our best to keep up with the Joneses, yet all the while muttering under our breath about how the world is going to hell in a hand basket.  Even though all of us (conservative, liberal, white, black, hispanic, native american, christian, muslim, jewish, shinto, hindu, bahai, male, female, gay, straight, etc, etc, etc) see injustices and wrongdoing all around us, we never confront what's going on outside our front porch.  And if ever we're forced into a confrontation or to stand up for what we believe, we degenerate into ignorant closed-minded sniping and name-calling.  We're comfortable and we're lazy and we don't want to do anything to change the world around us.  Which I see as a great problem.

You see things are MEANT to be shaken up.  Humans are blessed with extremely complex brains and a vast range of emotions.  We were not given these gifts so that we could tuck them away under the bed and forget about them.  Start thinking!  Start feeling!  Start making other people think and feel whether they want to or not!  Enrage them!  Provoke them!  Completely baffle them!  It doesn't matter, just prove to the world and to yourself that you don't have to be just like everyone wants you!  We are given voices and minds and hearts and souls so that we can express, create, destroy, imagine, invent, perform, love, touch, talk, scream, and FEEL!  For goodness sakes people!  Open up and look at the world!  Feel the great joys and sorrows that are around you!  Question your own beliefs and the beliefs of those who disagree with you!  Consider why you are right.  Consider why you are wrong.  Find time to share your emotions and innermost thoughts with your fellow man.  Find time to love someone and change your world for the better before your life is done. 

Defy the rules of logic.  Create art with no boundaries.

By the way, I love my wife Christine.  She's so hot.  Bla bla bla bla bla.

Open mic went well.  Sean "Redass" Gebhardt did an Eric "Redmouth" Gebhardt tribute set, which included a hilarious lengthy diatribe about sexuality (of the homo- variety).  Eric also did a solo blues set as well as a sort of acoustic Throwaways set with Jonathan Mitchell.  The audience was treated to the impromptu power-metal stylings of Metal Gebhardt Explosion (featuring Sean Smack, Metal Justin, and Bryan Davis).  Tyler Young gave us a nice dollop of surrealism with his dadaist folk songs (also featuring a moving recitation by the inimitable Byron Wilkes and some sound effects manipulation by yours truly).  Zach Stanfield and Caleb Darnell each did standup routines...  Zach's bit involved Caleb wearing a twinkie suit and crying.....  I have no idea.  Josh Cooper did some good solo stuff.  That kid's a great singer...  And of course, I did 2 short sets... including a couple of old Longships songs and a few songs making their live debut.  All in all, everything was amazing... or at least hilarious.  Nothing boring.  Which is all that matters as far as I'm concerned.

So there you go.  It was amazing.  We're gonna keep doing it every week.  Tuesday night at 9 pm.  Old Town Tavern on Montgomery in Downtown Sheffield.  Be there.  Participate.  Stop talking about your local scene and put a little something into it.  Sure it's open mic, and you don't get paid.  But if you care about that more than the opportunity to perform in a fun, diverse, and entertaining environment with gobs of talented people , you don't need to be creating art anyway.  Unless it's that weird corporate art... like those kangaroos on all the bag cereal.

Peace, love, and crawfish,

Cody C. Gaisser
