curse of the jackalope


I DID do the open mic at Jack's last night.
4 songs:
Needle
Foremost
Silk (debut!)
Detached

My apprenticing radio broadcast at WSGE got cancelled because the preceding shift took a holiday and there wasn't anyone up there to let us in the Studio. I did meet with Tim Davis. He said [the rest of the blots] are holding me back artistically and that we should be known as MAGIC CAVANAUGH and the BLOTS of the Underworld. :-P heh

Taylor Burnett said if more folks didn't come out Jack's was gonna cancel open mic. And that would make baby Jesus cry... So next Monday 06/06/2005 come on out to Jackalope Jack's and bring your banjo.
Also, NO THROWING COASTERS at the ARTISTS. Heh.

in other news


The Blots practiced two new songs this weekend.
Darwin's Scope
&
I Ate The Nuclear Egg
...and no, we can't ever come up with normal titles.

NY State has a solution


for erectile dysfunctions of convicted sex offenders.
Give them tax funded Viagra of course. I wonder what is your senators position on this?.
VA says, hell no. I think I'll write that nice Liddy Dole and ask her if she's paying for Pfizer to give our sexual offenders teh wood. More on the Empire State lumberjerks.
Why not ask your "elected" officials?
Senate
Congress
President
Governor(NC)

Well I don't have to like him. Many of us in the USA would like to rent him out to call our senate a bunch of twats on a regular basis. As our news media are also a bunch of twats, they can't seem to find anything wrong with the arse-clenched majority.||Go check out Unkempt Woman's flickr page...maybe it'll take you mind off of jizzing dentists...

Squirty McDentist Update


The Charlotte Observer has a bit more detail today. I would have to say the evidence is overwhelming. And to top things off the creepo refused to show any remorse for his crimes. He's moving from Charlotte to Jacksonville to go into the tile flooring business. Last night on the TV news his lawyer was just lamenting how much he'd already suffered. How about, he should have f%cking thought about that before he routinely squirted his bodily fluids into the mouths of his clients. Apparently he won't be permitted to be licensed again, although you have to wonder how far-reaching an NC court mandate is in FL? I can't blame the judge in this case. The law only allows him to sentence him to EITHER 4 months in the pokey or 5 years probation.

Alford plea, just wrong in this case?


So you have Dr John Hall, someone who was licensed in the State of NC to practice dentistry. A position of some trust, one could argue. Except instead of filling your wife's teeth, he fills her mouth...with his sperm. And since he is white and not poor he gets to plead guilty without assuming any guilt.

When a defendant pleads guilty, a factual colloquy is usually required. The defendant states on the record facts that comprise the elements of the crime. Infrequently, however, the defendant may plead guilty yet not admit all the facts that comprise the crime. North Carolina v Alford, 40 US 25, 91 S Ct 160, 27 L Ed2d 162 (1970). ref

And what penalty does the unrepentent Dr Hall get? Not one day in jail. The Charlotte Observer reports Hall was found "guilty" of SEVEN counts of assault on a woman. PROBATION for 5 years? 3 Months of house arrest? 120 hours of community service? This is bullshit. I wonder how long before they let him practice dentistry again? I wonder if they even make him register as a sex offender? I mean, how do we know if this jackass isn't going to be doing his community service in a @#$^* daycare or something.

Hmmm. It's time to revamp my template. Please ignore the trash and construction. But then I have 0 readers, so the only one I'm inconveniencing is me. Oh well, go listen to some music or something.

soundchecks are actually way cooler than the show. I wonder if you could just get a special pass to show up at everyone's soundchecks? Most chicks would rather go home with roadies. It's a documented fact. :P

Blots ticking away the days


Good news. We had a fairly good practice last night. I think this ought to be a really well-played and attended show as we are playing at Amos'. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not my usual cup of tea. In the past they seem to concentrate on cover & tribute bands. But I have seen J Mascis and Eyes Adrift there in the last year. Apparently Penny Craver, former owner of the Tremont Music Hall (and the World's Famous Milestone Club) is doing the bookings. I think this might cause me more cognitive dissonance than Rory Lewis playing at the Evening Muse... But then, truth is supposed to be stranger than things we make up. And in wierdo synchronicity, the first Tremont show we played (the Penny booked) was with Rory... So life is just a swirling ball of odd coincidences. No problem. I'm glad she's back working tha local music cosmos.

Philadelphia Inquirer | 05/17/2005 | Gail Shister | Lehrer and his boss agree: No meddling in 'NewsHour'
"Their No. 1 pressure is to increase their audience. I may be dead wrong, but I think the way they can do that is to refocus their news direction toward more serious news." - Jim Lehrer on the network news.

You are not dead wrong Jim. They ARE still in their Michael Jackson phase. After Michael Jackson it will be onto the next Lacey-Peterson-of-the-Month-club-story. All hyperbole, all the time.
