Hey assholes,
I'm beginning to think that the only people who like Ohtis are Adam's friends, and now that he quit and is going to be in Prussia you guys are giving up on the other half of ohtis: little old sam. I know Adam has a lot of friends... but damn. I wrote and recorded a song recently, why don't you go to my page www.myspace.com/meadowkitty and listen to it. Tell me if you like it. Don't tell me if you don't like it.
A more pressing issue is whether or not I should continue to label my local shows "ohtis shows", and if not what should I call them.  You tell me, if Adam isn't playing with me, yet, I'm still playing Ohtis songs, acousticly or otherwise, is it okay for me to advertise them to Ohtis' local fan base as an Ohtis event? I know this is kind of a tense and touchy topic, but I'm turning to you now to answer these questions. Nows your chance to make or break Ohtis, whoever you are. Obviously, the near future of Ohtis' live performances will be drastically different if Adam isn't on stage with me... but there is a definately conflict of interest for me to play Ohtis' songs ever again at what would be marketed as and considered something like a "Sam Swinson" show. Also, I'm definately biased in the opinion that I should be able to use Ohtis' internet clout to advertise for my local shows, because I don't have very many facebook or myspace friends. So many of you who are made aware of our shows through facebook events or myspace blogs would not be made aware of them by me advertising them as "Mr. Kitty". If Adam were awake right now I'd ask him and he's probably know what to do, but what do you losers think?

I'm pretty sure I can think of a good number of people who would be at an Ohtis show regardless of who was on stage. Rain or shine.

You guys aren't really losers. sorry bout that. I also want to point out that when I do record a new album, apart from Ohtis, I won't call myself or my band, if I have one, ohtis. it'll be called druncle Sam or Mr. kitty or fartin naked or something else stupid. I'm just saying that, presently, I think there's still a lot of folks around town who are still interested in hearing ohtis songs being performed live... so I wanna keep doing it for a while, until I've somethin else going on. point being...

...Ohtis is still alive and at large, if you'll have us (minus Adam when he moves). so, support your local bands and give me your money.

I am friends with neither of you (having discovered Ohtis through a friend who discovered them through another friend and so on - I live in freakin' Britain). I think it's fine to keep playing songs by the band, though, and advertising that fact EVEN MORESO if you aren't claiming to be Ohtis yourself. I mean, how many bands have essentially broken up, leaving one or two members of the original line-up claiming they are still "The Smashing Pumpkins" or "Wilco" or whatever (I love both bands, fyi, these are just examples)? At least by not saying you yourself are still Ohtis you're being decent towards Adam.

It would be a shame to let those songs die off, as they really are fucking amazing.

Hmm... If saw you play and knew nothing about you, then one day saw you in passing I would say, "hey it's Ohtis". 

Your Ohtis until someone says, "Hey, who is this Ohtis fella?"

They either ask or find out - the course is theirs.

You could start over with the aim to build your name Sam Swinson or Mr. Kitty.

But until then, your are already Ohtis. 

That course is yours. Choose it or not.

But I'm really here to spread some joy.
I can only hope you laugh the taste of tears.

I don't think anything. Call your music what you want. I call mine "The Deadbees" as long as I'm in the band. And I...am?  Fuck bandmates, they're a dime a dozen, even if they're friends.

Hey I just woke up finally. 

You should still call yourself Ohtis.  I told you that already, Sammy Wammy.  I made a stink about it at first because of the way you were bringing the idea up to me, and also because I was sad that Ohtis had to end, and I was on some ego trip or something, but yeah call yourself Ohtis. 

Why you gotta be all backenforth on the internet?  On one post, you say we agreed to break up (how I remember it), the next one you say I am leaving the band and making a fuss about you still going by Ohtis, even though I admitted that I was wrong in that debate. 

I love you buddy, and wish we could find a way to both be happy making music together, or at least find the balls in our respective selves to just talk these things over.  But, alas, our personal friendship has spiraled down and plateaued at a rocky point, so naturally our musical relationship has degraded to what it is now.

See you at the show tonight, Scram Simpson.

-Adam

Leave Ohtis alone, Adam. I finally have a chance to try and enjoy Sam's creativity without your cocksmoking, creepy-poser personality fucking it up for me. Seriously. Geez. Some people are goat farts. You sir, are one.

very flattering, but you should stop being mean to adam. what did adam ever do to you? there are better girls to be heart broken over, man, seriously. no offense to ria rish, but the bitch is the fucking epitome of "crazy girl". which, personally, i found extremely unattractive

Hey Scram Simpson, I just got back from the show and as I told you at the show, you've really outdone yourself with your new song.  It almost makes me want to come crawling back, even if the band isn't going to go anywhere, just to be able to be a part of the genius art, which will surely be remembered and praised at some point in time.  But, the new songs are perfect for you to play just by yourself.  So do it!  And record them!  Ya racist.

Yeahdam, chill pill doggie.. I'm just stirring up some ohtis soup, makin some buzz, cause for a while there everyone thought ohtis broke up because you told them that. remember when I told you not to tell anyone ohtis was breaking up? this is why... are you even moving anymore? see, ohtis is just as glued together as we ever were, we just aren't driving to Alaska to play a show for 4 people anytime soon. btw, speak for yourself about your balls, I've got some big droopy ones..
