SOCIOPATHICA HAS CHANGED ITS NAME!!!

sociopathica is now known as marrow. this blog will most likely not be used any more, but we have created a new blog that we will continue with our previous engagements, except with under a different name. since this new marrow blog has just recently been created, it is still under construction and will probably go through many changes in the next few weeks. if you were a fan on facebook, or wanted to be a fan on facebook, then we encourage you to search for our marrow facebook page and renew your "fan" status...

the new blog's url is: http://marrow-metal.blogspot.com/


Sasquatch out...


[yes, i am trying out the stage name 'sasquatch.' its the only one so far that i've minutely liked, but i still might not use it]

BAND PRACTICE MONDAY / SHOW CANCELLATION PENDING

thanks to action jackson and marshall and their inability to find time for band practice, the show on monday is probably going to be canceled due to improper preparation. however, we will still have band practice all day monday to make up for the loss of time on wednesday, thursday, and friday. we can't have it at my house, so there is no longer reason to find a way to move the drums. also, the town has still not replied to my request for a sound permit, so if we do end up doing the show, then we'll have to do it somewhere else besides my house. jack's garage probably won't work either unless we use jack's drum mutes and turn the volume down.

comment for input on decisions regarding song choices, times, locations, etc...

DRUMS

I can bring the drums a little later..like 9 oclock...you guys don't need me for the whole time...i just need to listen to the songs and i've got the parts...so comment or edit the post so i know the songs

and ADAM IS NOT SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!

THE RECORDINGS!!!!

the recordings are done! we will be paying for them tomorrow at school when we recieve them. however, the cost is a bit more than we expected. the total fee is $55. i have twenty, jack may or may not have twenty, but everyone has to pay 14 dollars. i'm assuming marshall will not be able to pay tomorrow, so he can just owe the rest of us money. but danny, you have hundreds of dollars stashed up in your room. so, if we want the recording, you should bring $30 tomorrow. just in case jack can't get his out of his debit card. don't worry, though. jack and marshall have NOT agreed to pay intrest if you so desire.

Band Practice 10/8/08, 10/9/08

we need to have as many band practices as possible before the "fundraiser" this weekend. since jack can't host is on wednesday because of his viola practice, we'll have it at my house it will start after school as soon as we're done with whatever clubs we're doing and stuff.

on thursday, it will be at jack's house from 1-5

so far, the new songs we're doing are:

Wild Dogs
Fansong
Hang On
Lithium
In Bloom
Dead Kennedys thrash cover (forgot the name. marshall knows)
...(add)

UBER fail

Guess what jack, that was the first and last time that you organize one of our shows all by yourself. that was basically just a failure of a band practice that a few people came to watch. next time, danny and i are doing all the gig organization/advertisement.


We are playing a show at my house at the end of that five day weekend. i'm already requesting a sound permit and everything. this will just be a show for the parents so they give us money and so that they can finally hear us play.

after this semi-show, we WILL be playing at the next warming house concert. i'm going to contact them sometime this week to sign us up.

we also have been requested to play at some halloween party or something. i don't know the details but we're doing it.

once we get some experience from the warming house shows and etc.., we will also play at Bill's Blues Bar in Evanston. that will probably be the first shows that we get paid to do. from there, we can play wherever.



and yes, one of our ten songs to play for the parents will be hang on, so deal with it marshall.

Friday, October 3, 2008

All those covers that we were going to do

we need to decide which songs we are going to cover out of all the municipal waste and toxic holocaust, so edit the post to add songs:

Wild Dogs - Toxic Holocaust

Thursday, October 2, 2008

I CALLED THE GUY

okay, i called mark because action jackson was too scared to call him all by himself. he said that the tracks would be finished by monday. so, we'll call him on monday and everthing will be all fine and dandy. until then, we'll just have to keep telling people that it will be finished soon.

also, if you haven't noticed, i changed the size/layout of the blog a little bit. i've done this in order to fit a music player on the side to play our songs.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

OUR SOON COMING EP

Oh my god! we have three more songs...you know what that means? We have enough songs for an EP/DEMO!!!!!!omg so exciting...

Monday, September 29, 2008

Band Practice 9/30

well, today's band practice was fairly successful. we worked out most of poisoned cryogenics and the new parts to esculence, along with some lyrics. Joe came and contributed a riff that he came up with that instantly became the song, chosen but rejected, a stonerific sludge piece.

so tomorrow, band practice is delayed by marshall and jack's "double-date happy time" with emily and hannah. if we can't have band practice start at 12, then how about we meet halfway and have it at two. you can bring along your lady friends, and that way they would only be around for an hour. they can have an exclusive preview of what will be played at the show on saturday. i will try to make my parents let me stay later, but i'm pretty sure that they're going to cut it off at six whether i like it or not...

Saturday, September 27, 2008

OKAY GUYS, NICKS IN THE HOSPITAL

i'm guessing it's an out patient procedure, but he had an infection and their probably draining him of pus

Friday, September 26, 2008

Band Practice - weekend of 9/26

we need to have band practice tomorrow. i know danny can't come, but we gotta write some lyrics or something. i just tripled the length of poisoned cryogenics, guitar-wise, but it still only has a chorus for vocals. once we write some more lyrics and determine the final order, pc is done. we also need to do like three more songs so that we have enough stuff to play at the show.

so, comment if you can do practice any time this weekend

YES WE IZ TEH AWESOMEZORZ

that recording session was totally kickass. to any fans that regularly visit our blog: our first demo will be out within like three weeks.

also, we have a show coming up at whatever party is being hosted at emmy brown's house after/during homecoming. we currently do not know the details, but once we do, they will be posted on the blog and on facebook and whatever else we have.

keep on the lookout for other bands that can accompany us. with the amount of time we have before the show, we will probably only be able to get down at most another three songs. covers would be easier, but i'm assuming you want to do originals. we need to do band practice asap, and amap (as much as possible, heh, just made that up). possible songs that we could get down fairly quickly:

Poisoned Cryogenics

Esculence

(add)

Thursday, September 25, 2008

RTEALLY REALLY PUMPED!!!!

okay guys hopefullly you still check this, but we gotta write down a list of what we're bringing tomorrow for reference, here's what i have so far:


Jack - mr. zildjian, Sam Splash, Derrek the double bass pedal

Nick - guitar, metal zone pedal (jack, the pedal is at your house and you need to bring it. DO NOT FORGET)

Danny - Bass

we may or may not need amps.

feel free to add more (EDIT)
and yes i name my drum pieces

Monday, September 22, 2008

Hey Recording soon!

2 weeks from now, brandon may be free to record...I just hope you bitches don't have anything better to do cuz if you do I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!! two weeks from now i'm free every day of the weekend after about 4 on saturday and 1 on sunday

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

OMFG I HAS THE GREAT IDEAS AGAIN

now who's talking?

oh wait, i was supposed to say my idea first D:

okay, i was listening to my new favorite band RYASHON (they're a myspace band listen to their stuff it's amazing i'll post the link. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=65671096) download oll their stuff from rapidshare there is a link, sorry i went off on a not-so-random tangent...ANYWAY!!! i thought, instead of writing new songs WITH LYRICS, we focus on parts for marshall, make the song and if it needs lyrics, after we've MASTERED the song, THEN we work on the lyrics, if not it can be an instrumental song...i just think it would be easier, cuz then First off, we get marshall playing right off the bat (since he hasn't had lessons his parts don't have to be hard D:) and Second, Marshall won't immediately have to take on the task of singing and playing RIGHT AWAY (you will eventually have to do it marshall) anyway just speculating

now who's talking (NAILED IT!)

Recording Plans

so, from what i've heard so far, the two earliest possible dates are this sunday (if we get back from the canoe trip early), or next friday. On that next friday, danny is leaving on some sort of family vacation, so we would need to wrap it up before like 6:30. But, if we start immediately after school, we should be able to get something done. If we get back from the canoe trip early, then we will have that whole day on sunday.

also, devin has agreed to the mixing and vocals being done at soundtracks. he also says that he could do drums there if we can't get good quality at acjack's. at soundtracks, there is already a drumkit, and we can mic each individual piece with a high-quality mic.




on another note, that mtg tournament that gregg is hosting is going on this friday after school. because its a late start, we should have plenty of time before we leave for canoeing.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

Stuff

At next band practice (A week from this Friday, I believe) we are doing three (3) covers. I want to get them done and over with.

So far we have:

Be Quick Or Be Dead - Iron Maiden
Lithium - Nirvana (Or something else by them, I'm open-minded).

We need one (1) more songs that aren't "death metal". We need to pick them out, and have practiced them for next band practice so we can play them at least passably by the end of next band practice. If we haven't decided the other songs by Friday afternoon, Nick and I will pick them for you.

Edit: I think we agreed to do Lithium.

Band practice 9/12

Might have to cut short a little...hannah and i might do something...it's not set in stone yet, but just be prepared for a short or non-existant band practice, though its still on for sunday at three o'clock

Thrashed by the belt recording

i am just about to go down into my basement and finish recording thrashed by the belt. i don't really feel like figuring out your time signatures, so you can just wait until you have the aiff to figure it out yourself.

Saturday, September 6, 2008

I finally found catalyst!

after hours of intense searching, i finally found them! the epic band we witnessed at bill's blues bar! they even have the video that was taken by a guy that we were standing right behind.

Lol I love it

that recording kicks ass....it's on my ipod...LAWL

comment if you can do band practice tomrrow

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

No Band practice on thursday, and maybe friday

despite what i said to two of you, there will not be band practice tomorrow as i broke the news today taht i am failing biology...i begged and pleaded enough for him to consider friday to stay, but i'll keep you guys posted

EDIT: We will not be recording tomorrow according to Brandon...We will just be listening and if we want later, we can use the 1 track that nick has to fuck around with protools. -AJ

Label your posts.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Covers

Despite the fact that he writes like three songs a week, Nick thinks we should do some more covers. If we are, or if we aren't, we should know what we're going to be practicing after we finishing recording on Friday.

Monday, September 1, 2008

Brandon situation

Hey, as you guys may remember i contacted Brandon about listening in on us...

He totally said yes to this friday from 3-5, if it's okay with you guys...comment for yes and no...

ps. i got 8 pairs of drumsticks tonight, and that hot chick "Monica" who works in the drum sectino was tehre.....GOD SO HOT

The Cottage Trip Follow-up

okay, first of all, the cottage trip was awesome. we gotta do that again sometime.

also, my parents noticed that none of you said "thank you" to them for allowing you to disrupt the peacful demeanor that is michigan by driving you up to the cottage and giving you free food. so comment on the post cause my mom wants to see it

Thursday, August 28, 2008

for an informative purpose

1. Since the cottage trip lasts all weekend, I'll end up getting my guitar the following weekend
2. I may be wet when I show up at Nick's. I would have just ran 3 miles and would have taken a shower, so if I drip on you, live with it.
3.I call a couch to sleep on when we get to the cottage. CALLED IT.
4. It may be a month away, but I'm not going to be able to practice on Tuesday September 30th(I'm bringing it up because its a jew holiday so no school). It's Beesy and I's 6th Month Aniversary and I'm fairly sure she won't want to spend it kicking me in the shins for dethgrowling.

yea, that's about it...and on a final note...
Rex: "Hey Weevil...check it out. My dinosaur is horny. uh-huhuhuh. Get it?"
Weevil: "Yeah. Heh-heh"
Rex: "So, it's your move, or something?"
Weevil: "Heh-heh. Bugs are cool."
Rex: "So... I'll attack, or something?"
Weevil: "Heh-heh. You, like, totally just activated my trap card buttmunch."
Rex:"Uh-huhuhuh. No way."
Weevil: "Fire! Fire! Yeah! heh-heh."
Rex: "This sucks. I'm gonna go, like, get some nachos."

Current cottage trip details

okay, heres a list of basic details that you will probably want to know so that you can tell your parents when you ask

we are leaving at 7:00 PM on friday from my house. try to get there around 6:30. we are NOT picking ANYONE up from their houses.

we will arrive back home on monday at roughly 4-5 o'clock. we'll probably do it like a boy scout thing where we drop you off at your house with your crap.

there will be two cars:

1 - a pacifica

it will hold my dad, my sister, gus, and THREE of you. you will watch a movie in this car so that you don't bother my dad or my sister. this car will hold a miniscule amount of luggage. or you could hold stuff in your laps.

2 - an old minivan, i don't know exactly what it is (the car we're borrowing from my grandparents)

it will hold me, my mom, and FIVE of you guys. in this car we'll just talk and stuff. no swearing or anything inappropriate, though because my mom will be able to hear everything you say. this car will also be able to hold a good amount of luggage. i think... i don't exactly remember the specs of it.

so, if you want, you can call dibs on what car you want to be in on the blog, otherwise, you'll have to fight it out in my driveway.


other info:

there WILL be other people you don't know there.

you must be GRACIOUS GUESTS, otherwise you will be kicked out

there will be a band playing on the beach on labor day. i don't know who they are or what music they will be playing.

bring money so that you can buy stuff. my parents aren't paying for anything. EX: movie tickets, candy, beverages, etc...

... uh i dunno, i'll think of other stuff to tell you later. i'll post it up soon.

Cottage problem solved

okay, we are borrowing my grandparent's minivan, so we will have enough room. problem solved. nobody needs to worry about anything any more.

also, my other family members say we aren't allowed to play any music while we're there, so i say we can still bring our guitars, but no amps. just incase we have any sudden inspiration for a new song, we'll be prapared.

Frickin hilarious

this is an interpretation of the song, pull harder on the strings of your martyr, by trivium. its hilarious

unless some of you don't mind being sand dune hermits...

my parents have agreed to drive us up to the cottage, but may not be able to drive us back (they won't be joining us at the cottage). so we'll need someone to drive the persons my parents drive up to drive back.
otherwise, the trip is screwed.
the burden is no longer on my shoulders now
HA!
oh and someone don't forget to bring a camera that can take videos.
Michigan Stupidity needs a sequel

Psychosocial situation

if we do not go to the cottage, practice starts at 345, and here is tabzors.
http://www.911tabs.com/link/?5579515 - bass tab

http://www.911tabs.com/link/?5574910 - Guitar Tab

And even though marshall probably already has memorized the lyrics to this song, http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/slipknot/psychosocial.html - Lyrics

i already know the drum part, and can play it O.K, i will practice it more

Monday, August 25, 2008

the cottage car situation

okay here i'll explain the current situation that is getting to the cottage. there are nine of us. plus my parents, sister, and gus. that means twelve people and a dog. i will map out the stuff layout for each of the cars

Pacifica -
1 parent
3 or 4 of us
gus
some luggage if only three of us, none if 4.

BMW
1 parent
3 of us (all in back seat)
my sister has to come in the front
a good amount of luggage in the trunk

so, all together, my cars can fit up to seven of us, along with a fraction of whatever stuff we want to bring. we need a parental volunteer if this is going to happen at all. you guys need to convince your parents to volunteer. if marshall can get his parents to volunteer, then we're set. but if not, someone else will have to jump on the grenade

Marshall's car
2 parents (if both come)
3 of us
basically all the luggage

Cottage Trip 8/29 - 9/1

yes{This was originally posted on 8/12/08}

Okay, this time there's like three weeks notice. The cottage trip has been moved to labor day weekend. We'll go up friday night and come back monday afternoon because its a three day weekend. Both adam's family and marshall's family are still invited, the more the merrier. Everybody must RSVP. I don't know what it stands for, but i'm sure you all know what it means. That means families too. We need to know how many rooms will be taken. just so you know, we will all be in the basement. the rooms are for family members that would like to come. So... everybody that i hope will come:

..........................................coming or not
Jack .........................................yes
Jewfro ......................................no
Danny .......................................maybe not
Devin ........................................yes
Adam ........................................yes
Marshall ....................................yes
Johnny ......................................yes
Gregg B .....................................yes
Michael .....................................yes

Marshall's Parent/Family ..............probably not
Adam's Parent/Family ..................no

If any other families express any interest in coming, let me know.

when do we leave for teh cottage?

i has XC meet. i can't skip. starts at 4. ends an hour or 2 after. tell me when we leave for cottage.

Monday, August 4, 2008

Mayhemfest!

okay, i got the tickets at the last minute, but we still have some money issues to get sorted out. this is a list of who's paid and who owes what. at the ticketmaster thing, the total price per ticket came out to be 34 dollars. it actually turned out to be the same as online except without the tiny shipping fee and the time to arrive, so heres the list:

Marshall - paid 40 bucks - i owe him 6

Danny - paid 21 bucks - he owes me 13

Jack - has still not paid, so owes 34

so, other than sorting out the money, we're all set to go. danny's dad is driving us, so theres nothing more to worry about

Friday, August 1, 2008

just picture this for a second

The stage is black


a light shines down.....on corey taylor with his hand behind his back, mask on.





"hi, i'm corey taylor, and this..." ::pulls his hand out from behind his back, an acoustic guitar...


"...is vermilion part 2..."





commence singing...





lol i had a dream about that, it made me laugh in my sleep


COREY TAYLOR

FAIL

oh and please buy the tickets before i get home...i don;'t wanna have to pay

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Mayhemfest Update

okay guys, i just went through the whole process of buying the tickets without actually buying them, and it turns out that, because of the online convenience charge and whatnot, the tickets are actually 35 dollars each. so, just wanted to let you know before its too late.

the entire cost is 140 dollars and i only have like 70 dollars on my card right now, so i'm gonna need at least two peoples money asap. i already got most of danny, so marshall, if you could give me yours soon, we can order them before jack even gets back. with the most minimal no-expense shipping, the tickets should arrive in like 10 days.


btw, check out the modified logo up there.
i just changed it around a bit

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Mayhemfest

Have we bought our tickets yet? If not, we should probably get on that. Either Nick or Action Jackson has to buy them though.

Do we have a ride?

Saturday, July 12, 2008

This is terrible... Something must be done!

Wisconsin has ruled the sexual assault of corpses illegal, because they don't give consent. They dislike our songs. Burn them.

It is also illegal in about 20 other states. Including California. Burn California too.

(Also... I wonder what kind of ads we'll have now?)

Band Practice 7/8

(i think that's next tuesday)

okay, i think we should have another pseudo-band practice of some sort so i can show you guys the new song and we can figure out what we're doing with the covers situation. it will probably end up being like the last band practice we had, but at least this time it can be called a "pseudo" band practice.

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

prollems and a butt-ugly cat

well, my phone's dead because i dropped it and now the screen is blacked out and i cant make calls. btw to lift moods or disturb people check out http://chasenoface.blogspot.com its the most frightening thing i've ever seen.

I AM SO FUCKING BORED@!!!!@!@#$%@#$!%

There's nothing to do here but read, use the internet, and swim, and i'm not a big pool fan.

Oh and write music.. I've been doing that in major excess

Saturday, June 28, 2008

small problem

so, you guys makin any money yet, because i honestly don't think i'm gonna be able to get all of this money on my own... and we got 30 bucks from the tip jar (which is a hell of a lot for a tip jar)... so we got like 130 bucks... we need twenty more for "Protools" and about 520 more for the "FireWire 1814"

Friday, June 27, 2008

Garage stuff

Turns out my fan is actually a small heater. It gets pretty hot, so it could be good for cooking things?

Band Practice 6/25

wow... today's band practice totally sucked ass... uber fail

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

being bored doesn't ALWAYS have to suck

so i was sitting in my basement fooling around with Dad's Mexican Strat and came up with a riff that sounds exactly like "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath off the album....BLACK SABBATH! I'm gonna play around with it and try to make it more original, but I find it funny that I taught myself to play the bulk of a Sabbath song. w007

Saturday, June 21, 2008

That show that was today

Nick and I went to it. We missed Ohmission except for the second half of their last song. They were good and missing them sucked. The second band was the worst band in the history of ever. Their name will not be mentioned, unless they all die. The third band was pretty decent, but wasn't metal. Catalyst was amazing. I would embellish, but I would fail to do them justice.

Edit: The second band sucked so much they drove off more than half the crowd. There was no mosh for Catalyst, because everyone had left.

workin' on the 'ol fanbase

ok, despite the fact that this goes against my will, i was running with Billy Rivi today during XC and he asked me if Sociopathica had a Myspace. I told him we didn't have a Myspace but we did have a Facebook. he told me that a Myspace would help grow a fanbase regardless of wether we had recordings. the whole idea seems messed up to me but if that's how a metalhead's thought process goes, why the hell not get a myspace for the band?

the list

Once we finish starting the songs we currently have on the list, we shouldn't start any new songs until we are really, really good at the ones on it.

Are we murderers..?

i got a nasty email i won't say from who, but it appears we are killing yttrius...i'm just wondering if we're doing it on purpose?....

and who's going to the yttrius practice on tomorrow? are we gonna have yttrius or sociopathica practice?

The Garage

i'll see if i can scrounge up some furniture to add to the attic thing. i'll comment to list what i can contribute.

Band Practices 6/16 and 6/18?

okay, did we say that we would have band practice on monday and wednesday? if so, how about we work on thrashed by the belt on monday, as well as playing through caress the dead and i am ahab, and then unsightly on wednesday. if we basically do what we did today on both those days, we should be able to finish both songs.

hopefully, by the end of wednesday, we'll be able to play all four songs in a row. maybe, if we write a couple more songs while jack's gone, we'd be able to put on a gig. we could play at the warming house, whenever the first concert is. we only need like four songs to play there anyways. we also need to enter in band-aid.

Kickass Guitar Mod

i just finished modding my vendetta. i put the gibson dirty fingers on it, and i put a series/parallel switch and a phaser switch. it gives my guitar a much larger tonal possibility range. the dean pickup and dirty fingers mixed together sounds pretty frickin' sweet.

*lightbulb*

i has a bunch of ideas fo teh logo. i'll attempt to sketch them now and bring em to practice. all of them involve gas masks

GOJIRA!!

Anyone heard of them?

burning u guys cd's

progressive thrash death metal it's awesome

gues what? i'm doing shit!!!

yea. just so everyone knows, im working on emaciated right now out of boredom

Dude, fucked up.

Dude, my E-string is so massive I can tune it to drop B if I don't play very hard.

Band Practices 6/14 and 6/15

we need to decide the details of these two practices:

Action Jackson's house

I'm guessing they'll start around noon. if we're going have them end late, it might just make more sense for us to just stay overnight and start up again the next morning. and then the sunday one could probably end a little earlier for summer school and family stuff etc....

this weekend, we should make an effort to play all the songs on the list. i'll record killing in the name and my two, and you guys can help finish the lyrics these next two days so that they will be ready with vocals and everything.

(comment to ensure you're coming and add details and stuff)

Caress The Dead

I just finished writing another new song. well, except for the lyrics. i do have a complete guitar part and bass part though. i'll tab it out on the computer and put it on google docs. its not as intense as thrashed by the belt, but it sounds pretty ghostly, and in some placed it sounds like a mixed pantera/metallica song.

(i got the name off of marshall's list. it really is a good list)

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Today's Band Practice 6/11

okay here are the definite details so far:

Action Jackson's house

Starts at 12
Ends at ~8:30-9

We're going to guitar center at some point

I'm coming ...on bike
Danny's coming (maybe without his stuff) ...on bike
Devin's coming ...in car (lazy ass)
Marshall's coming ...on foot

i think that if danny calls devin right as summer school ends, devin can pick up his stuff for him. he might have to tell him how to get into his house or something though.

We WILL make an I Am Ahab video today. whether danny and marshall like it or not

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Facebook

if you didn't already know, i made a facebook page for us a while ago. its pretty pathetic that we only have two fans, but even though four isn't much better, you guys should become fans

youtube

we have a channel and we are currently recieving danny's beautiful voice

http://www.youtube.com/user/SociopathicaBand

Who's Coming Tomorrow? (its a wednesday)

comment and tell me how you feel..remember come at 12 oclock, cuz i have a doctors appt. at 10

Not Here

It turns out my mom was lying to me when she said I wasn't going to be able to come next Thursday or Friday and in fact meant this Thursday and Friday.

Did you put those videos on youtube yet?

I really want to see danny's pleasure screams. and who knows, it might recruit us some fans

Killing In The Name

The fully re-written tab for our killing in the name cover is up on google docs

Ads

We should probably add them on again.

cool

whatever i can show u guys the midi when u come tomorow

Monday, June 9, 2008

I've been working on a song.... :D

it's called unsightly

it's pretty good i'll post what i have so far on google docs
it's pretty easy but it needs to be aranged i'll try to arange it

Google Docs

post ur shit on the sociopathica documents thing

log into gmail,

select more and scroll down to documents

then upload stuff so that we can see it...like tabs and stuff..its easier than blogging it and only we can see it

houston, we has a problem

band practice on wednesday will be postponed until 12 oclock because my dad hired a doctor to feel me up....


yeah 12 o'clock

i won't be here if u get here early, so yeah

oh and i'm gonna set us up a digital locker sort of thing.. and nick could you put a copy of that tab layout you have on your computer cuz guitar pro is 60 bucks and i can't buy it yet

I finished my song!!!!!!!! (thrashed by the belt)

Okay, i made the name of it "thrashed by the belt" from marshall's list, and its pretty frikin' awesome. Definitely the best song i've written so far.

i have a tab with the guitar part on it and the song order, and i'm working on tabbing out the bass part.

lyric-wise, i only have a chorus, but if we want, we could go the mastodon way and leave it. but i'm still going to write some more.

i'll try and upload the file on a widget or something.

Logo?

Are we keeping the logo we have up right now? If not, when are other options going to be presented?

band practice 6/11

okay, assuming band practice ends around 11 o'clock, everyone comes to my house, and is here about 12 all together. we go to guitar center around 1 o'clock, (what are we actually doing there) and get back around like 3, we'll have plenty of time to practice


Edited for labeling purposes. Use labels. Seriously.

Sunday, June 8, 2008

omfg guess what

so yeah, dannydoesn't know but i'm getting about 100 dollars a week for doing these chores (Marshall : I hate you Action).. Any way, everyone drop their stuff off tomorrow, and come right from summer school, cuz we can take my pedo-van to guitar center and (what exactly are we doing there?) do stuff...

comment if i'm forgetting anything

oh yeah, marshall reminded me, after six weeks of awesome ness, i will be able to buy us pro-tools!!!!! FUCK YEAH!

wooo

alright

ok

and nick, i'm not going to touch my guitar until you get here cuz it's much more complicado than i imagined....but i did take off the face plate and the strings jic.

Wednesday Band Practice 6/11

so are we going to guitar center or what? i think we are unanimously fuzzy on the details of wednesday.

i know for sure that we're going to do i am ahab(hopefully record it or make a video) and killing in the name. we should try and learn thank you for this by wednesday too. its really easy and short, but a really good song. the drum part can't be that much harder than the i am ahab one. also, we could try doing doa too. i haven't completely learned it yet, but we've still got two days.

also, i'm getting pretty close to finishing that song that i wrote most recently. i'll tab it out on my computer, and depending on how finished it is, we might be able to do that on wednesday too.

tell me if i'm sort of overloading, but i think that if we want to go to guitar center and have this jampacked practice, we should probably start a little earlier and end a little later.

Parent's = shit

don't plan to come my parents are shit

I got bored and I'm going through all the unlabeled posts and labeling them.

Band Practice Today?

What time? Can anybody give me a ride there and back? Does it even exist?

Saturday, June 7, 2008

Unavailable

I will be unavailable the Thursday and Friday following the upcoming Thursday and Friday, also known as 6/19 and 6/20. In case somebody was trying to do something then.

Song List

It has a ton of Mastodon on it.

Do they know?

Does yttrius know about how awesomly bitchin we are yet, because i noticed the similar bands page on the yttrius thing, and like, i wasl like, OH THEY MUST ALREADY KNOW

Friday, June 6, 2008

Practice...?

Practice Sunday? comment if u can come

WEEEEOOOOOOOOOO

::cues the bizzare noises::

k guys, expect a page element about songs we should be learning.

I think just so we don't have an over load, each member should post on this list a MAXIMUM of 2 songs

just to be safe

an albumcover


Succesful Band Practice

Okay, today's band practice was a success, except for my bike being stolen, and we need to plan another one. i'm thinkin sunday might be good. i'll snatch marshall's guitar and amp tomorrow and we can try teaching him the my curse rhythm. i'll see if i can do anything with killing in the name today and i'll show you guys next band practice. tomorrow we'll break the news to adam and whoever else doesn't know. i'll see if i can find some more songs for us to cover too.

A LOGO?



What about these for our logo?I CameUp with some stuff

First Band Practice 6/5

Okay band practice is tomorrow(thursday) at jack's house starting around noon. you can go as early as eleven and we can stay until we have to leave; i'm guessing six or later. i already dropped my stuff off at his house, and danny, you probably should too. i don't know for sure yet, but i think my mom can come home from work at noon to drive me and i can give whoever needs a ride a ride. if not, we'll have to figure out a pace bus route or something. its important that we all make it to this band practice because we need to figure out the name situation and we need to make a new to do list.

i got a good idea for a cover we could do. i was listening to some rage earlier and i just realized how painfully slow killing in the name is. we sjould cover that song and make it faster and more metal with deth-growling and everything. it could totally be awesome. i would start re-writing it now, but both my guitars are at acjack's.
