Well another Linus practice. It began with Clinton and I being very productive at Rudyard’s. Yes instead of discussing song arrangements or other such matters we discussed Neal Stevenson’s literary merits and Peter Jackson’s translation of JRRT. Level up! You are now a 7th level Geek. Rehearsal itself was a…
Well after my bitch session about Walter’s on Friday, I can say Saturday ended up going off sans incident. Though, aside from the bands themselves, I didn’t know a soul there. I was just doing my part representin’ the late-80s to mid-90’s peeps as the LP4 delegate. Now you ask…
[More pictures of this show are on my account at: Flickr.com] Well Walter’s is on my shit-list after Friday’s show. While Roy is a super-nice guy and the club is generally OK all it takes is one dickweed bartender to make you want to blow a place off. So just…

Wow, that was a really fun fun show! Churchbus and Hotel Brotherhood really put on a great show last night. I have to admit to some confusion as to where each band began and ended as two members were in both bands. But both bands rocked, not in any flashy…

Well, go figure. I wake up this morning to find this in my morning e-mail from Clinton. It seems he was inspired to take an old jam and turn it into a Sword metal epic. You be the judge. [Clinton Writes] I was ordered to write Sword Metal. This is…
The following is from a series of e-mails today exemplifying the depths of the intellectual juggernaut that is the Linus Pauling Quartet. Years from now this will be studied much as the works of Wittgenstein are today. Ramon: Linus has no songs about swords. We need to fix this!!!! See…http://www.swordmetal.com/codes.php…
Hey all… well, I finally decided to post something here! And I think I’m going to write a little about our most recent show at the Proletariat, April 8th, 2006. To my mind, this was neither one of the best nor one of the worst of our shows. Just to…
Well fuck, this recap is a bit belated but life’s been pretty crazy. But I’m finally saying “fuck it”. My job sucks ass and I’d rather blog than waste time working for the man. Fuck Corporate America. Fuck Wall Street. Fuck it all. I’d rather talk about music than do…
