STUDIO DIARY #38 (March 9th - 15th, 2001)
Friday 9th
So Courtney Love and Garbage are fighting the good fight huh?!!!.Maybe we'll meet up one of these days at The Supreme Court of California and record a rebel song together on my laptop and stick it on Napster the very same day. (Even though I happen to think Napster is an evil corporate monster in the making.)
Anyways....no doubt I'll get shafted so hard by all of this legal nonsense that I'll never be able to sing another note again.The opposite of a Pavlovian response will occur.I'll open my mouth to sing and the very act of doing so will remind me of all the raping and pillaging of creative people over the years by power crazy,money grabbing executives and the notes will simply stick in my throat.Yeah....well fuck it.I never wanted to make records or be famous in the first place.I just wanted to have fun.And when the fun stops........I'm outta there.And there you have it.Life's too short.I've got better things to do with my life than get screwed by men I've never met. To cheer myself up I'm listening to "Got it made" by BRASSY. A high energy pep pill, kind of like MOLOKO without the sophistication.A tad repetitive but fun nevertheless.
God knows we're all in dire need of some light relief around here.Everyone is low and subdued because the winter cold is relentless and the hours of sunshine come in meagre amounts. A dead body was found floating in the river around the corner from Smart yesterday.I guess we're not the only ones suffering from cabin fever.They say the people of wisconsin go a little crazy towards the end of winter.I guess I'd better watch my step.
Saturday 10th
Another wearisome grey day.Can't be bothered writing a thing.I have even less to share here than usual.
Feeling that sick desire to go out and shop myself bankrupt but there really isn't anywhere particularly FABULOUS to shop here in Madison so bang goes that idea.
If I could drive (which I can't)I would drive down to Chicago but I'll just have to stay here instead and try to be GLAD that I'm saving my pennies. Oh no.It's just started to snow again. What a bloody drag.
Sunday 11th
Day off
Monday 12th
It's pouring down with rain outside and it's cutting cold but we're all in celebratory moods because at least it isn't snowing.(The rain makes me homesick but I'll try not to dwell on that).
I am completely lacking in any inspiration today.Don't have a thing to say.No opinions to share.No enthusiams to speak of.
Oh.......unless I mention the fact that I finally went to see The Wonder Boys on saturday night and really loved it.Infact.........I have to admit that even as an official member of the "I loathe Michael Douglas" club, he was completely brilliant in it.
And then of course there is the added bonus of harbouring a desperate crush on another prominent character in the film,Mr Toby Maguire.
I actually went to see it at the local dollar cinema in town because the movie wasn't showing anywhere else (Not because I am frugal!!!!) and I swear it was like walking into the land of the living dead.There was a lady sitting next to me who kept grunting like a demented wilderbeast and talking her head off for the duration of the entire program.It didn't seem to matter how many times I shot her my evil eye or "SHhhhhUshhhhhhhed" her or said "Do you mind?" in a nippy tone.She would carry on regardless.Finally at the end of my tether I huffily moved seat only to find myself next to two forty year olds who were busy performing all manner of sexually gratifying acts on each other.Jeez...can't a woman watch a movie in peace these days? Is it really too much to ask?!?!?!?!!
Ohmigod......a news flash has just come up on CNN regarding an errant US bomb dropping out of a plane BY ACCIDENT (?!?!?!) killing 6 US and New Zealand soldiers in Kuwait.
God almighty.What kind of fools are responsible for a gaff of this magnitude? How the hell can a bomb drop out of a plane by mistake?!?!?!?!?!? Sure fills you with confidence doesn't it?
Oogily oogily oogily oogily oogily oogily fun fun fun.
Tuesday 13th
It's snowing again.I swear I'm about to fucking lose it.
Wednesday 14th
Watched all episodes back to back from the new series of The Sopranos last night and slowly got tuned back in. I wasn't so blown away by the premiere double whammy but the third episode was a return to form and superfantastic. Gross guilty confession: I looked at every single one of Celine Dion's baby pictures on the web.I want one.
Oh I nearly forgot: The Know It All Boyfriends are playing at the Cafe Monmartre on friday night at 10pm.Expect to hear Duke singing "These Boots are made for walking" in three different keys!!!!
Thursday 15th
What am I going to get Steve for his birthday tomorrow?!?!?!?!?
I swear my brain has come to a complete standstill.I have the mental capacity of a grub.
We did however send three songs out today to be mastered.
WHHHOoooooppppeee
Not long now.Not long now.
