Mark this Date


It's late and time for bed, but I can't help telling you how soulful some schmucks named the Falcones turned out their first recordings tonight.

A Quote to Remember

1. Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
2. Music is the face of God.
3. The best service you can do for mankind is mind your own business.
4. Don`t ever trust a man who says `I am going to kill you in the name of God`.

~John Frusciante

After This Series, Nothing is Serious


As usual, rock n' roll means well...


I hope I'm still playing music when I'm 68
Just like Paul McCartney playing SNL right now
Shit, B.B. is still touring at 85
Buddy Guy is better than ever at 74
Eric Clapton grew his hair out at 65
That's about the most pure example that:

"You'll Never Die and You'll Never Grow Old"


SDJ's weakness is level 10 in virtual reality. Yet in sublime moments of exhaustion he performs beyond comprehension. Without notice he closes his eyes while lighting a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Both of his hands simultaneously unleash a unique sound only to be heard once. You see, the legend of SDJ conjures pure genius; compiled of mindblowing moments that will be forgotten the next day. But those melodies and creations that are truly special will perpetually haunt our music. Fight them off as long as you can, but eventually that type of soul screams out during your most passionate creative pieces.


Finally a young song has grown into a symphony. Stained rudiments can be traced back to an old friends backyard shack. Those memories flooded into a session a year later. Months have passed until now: when every memory, brain stormed verse, emotional intonation, and all those fucking doubts combust into an orchestral eruption. Reminds me about something kinda moving; even unpopular underground 90's rock n' roll OWNS any of this new zombie breed of rock music. Like I said: SDJ can get to level 10; with his trio of mates they believe in breathing new life into whatever the hell people listen to these days.

The point of these descriptions relies on this perfect quote:

"Music is not something that you are in control of. It comes from somewhere else. If you`re that middleman between the cosmos and the real world on Earth that hte music comes through, you are very lucky. When you record music, it`s not your job to try to control anything. It`s more about being in the right place and flowing with the energies that are in the air around you and with the people that you are making the music with. The second that someone thinks music comes from themselves, and that they are the ones responsible for it, is when they go off track. The most important thing you could ralize is that you are the least important part of the whole process. Music is going to be made whether any one artist is here or not. If John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix had disappeared, music still would have gone on, changed, grown, and been the beautiful thing that it is. You take away the music, all you have are the individuals, and they don`t mean anything. The individual is nothing, it`s the music that`s in the air all the time that`s important, and you have to be humble in the face of that."


I adore you if you actually read that entire quote.
You met me at a very strange time in my life.
Unless your that girl dressed like.....
Hmmm wait on it...

So Simple?


So the secret to life is a screwdriver.


Or a spoon?

Creativity Dispersion


Ok, so I've been super lazy on posts recently. Its hard to find time to write something when your creativity is exhausted elsewhere; hey have you ever heard of The Falcones?


Song writing elicits creativity in all aspects of soul. To properly transform a mental thought into a live melody demands the perfect people, place, and time. When it happens, everyone knows. Capturing exactly what you want has to be felt, not just heard or discussed. Songs and notes combine into one entity; the entity itself marks the shining achievement of not your hard work, but your alleviation of mind and heart.

Perhaps Frusciante described this process perfectly:

"Expression is when you`re at one with nothingness, and you just beathe with your playing."


Yes, shes cuter than you!
