Chalk Dinosaur

Big news! Chalk Dinosaur finally completed their first LP! Sorry if you're sick of hearing Chalk Dino news, but that's too bad and actually, I'm not sorry. As they say: If you don't like it, you can always leave.

They finished recording and mixing towards the end of summer, got it mastered by THIS GUY, and just got it back from being printed! You can get it at CD Baby!

I've seen the band from its inception to CD. From me and John in Dave's basement, with the blues jr. and Dave's brothers drumset, to a full blown recording studio in Harrison's basement and a CD. Gear aside, I have seen them all become really great musicians. There is a point when you're watching a band, and you can tell they've been playing together for a long time. They are comfortable and confident on stage, they know the queues from their bandmates, and they don't miss a beat. Needless to say I was never near that point, but the last time I saw Chalk Dinosaur open for Starfucker at the Brillo Box in Pittsburgh, they absolutely floored me.

Anyways, I am extremely proud of John, Matt, Rich and Harrison for putting all of this together. Seeing the creativity, dedication, and hard work that lead to this CD is inspiring to me, and I'm really proud know and have played with them all. They are all incredible guys and I know they will succeed.

You should buy a CD.

Snacks on snacks!

Well, I hate for this to be my first post in so long, but it is. As of the end of July, I will be sharing an apartment with Jakie Baby, and Dave, unbelievable. Three CMU jerks re-united in one house of supreme creamyness.

If you've seen daves liquor cabinet right now, I can't imagine what it will look like when Dave's raking in a salary AND Dave says he's already bought a present for the house! Gin Rickeys all around.

I can't wait to be living with those two rad dudes, whilst saving no less than 700 dollars a month on rent. Yeah you titty lickers, 700 dollars a month, a NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

Anyways, the point was, I found this video, which I think demonstrates a technique that will be employed at the new pad for sure. Reminds me of good old Tem, suffer through the first minute to get to the fridge tour...

This Exists

That exists.

John O, Blowing up

Big news for Chalk Dinosaur!



The Pittsburgh City Paper reviewed the band, you can check it out here! I feel like Pittsburgh has a pretty good city paper, or maybe that's just because I used to read Savage love...Either way, great news for John O.

Another Pittsburgh music blog reviewed one of John's newest songs, Crazy Folks! This is great, just unsolicited attention, and good attention at that. It makes me really happy to have been part of it, and still kind of part of it.

Harrison Wargo, from The Morning Light, who we opened for a little ways back, is playing with the band now. He left the Morning Light, I dont' know why, but he's perfect for these guys. He is more experienced, and has played more and bigger shows than any of us, and I think he just brings a lot to the table.

On top of these things, Matt booked a show with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, who just happens to be one of my favorite bands to listen to right now. Maybe even my favorite. The show is on April 11th at The Brillo Box, it's going to be wild. I get to play guitar! 3 guitars/2 guitars and keyboard is what's happening. We'll see how it goes, 3 guitars, a little over the top, but they insist. Gonna be SICK NASTY.

Later!

David Shredder Update

Woah! Anonymous commented on a post I wrote back in September, and totally owned me. Hahaha, I'm going to say this wasn't a horrendous boof, seeing as this is a theme song from a TV show that came out 5 years before I was born, and only ran for 3 seasons. Does everyone else know that George's answering machine was modeled after the theme song to Greatest American Hero?! Either way, it actually makes George's machine EVEN MORE funny to me. I stand by my opinion that the David Shredder stand up was completely butt.




And I still can't even find mention of his name anywhere.
