well this is my first "blogging" (should i use qoutation marks there? does everybody know what "blogging" is? fuksh..t.) experience.. there is now no stopping my random sharings, one might say offerings, to the world. thank god just when i most needed a tool to solidfy my egocentricity.. well. there is a reason for this blog. we have officially changed our band name from "AVATAR" to "MAKE THE LION"/ before the riots start, let me offer an explanation: (hopefully this makes sense and everybody is appeased) 1) Avatar was kinda lame and was picked because our hashed minds could think of nothing else one week before our first show. 2) doesnt it sound like Avatar would play some sort of prog-metal-dark-hard-rock ish stuff? (not that there is anything wrong with that.) 3) there are so many Avatar bands out there.. its rediculous. 4) Make the Lion sounds cool i think., 5) i like the logo too. 6) Make the Lion was inspired by the allen ginsberg poem "making the lion for all it's got". check it. 7) i think we seem a lot more intellectual now ya know naming our band after yaknow a poem yaknow. deep. annyway. thats all for now, i wonder if anybody actually reads these blogs on myspace, or is it just a venting tool? i mean im just desperatly trying to justify a band name change, i just wanna fuckin belong yaknow?!! peace adam 'jerk' basanta
