Blog Etiquette

I’m just starting to get a feel for this, but I can already see what I DON’T want this blog to be.  I will post here when I have something to say, but not before.  I also will get the format down soon as well, i.e. putting the words by the pictures they belong with, etc.  Any helpful comments are appreciated.

I saw a sensitive artist’s blog post yesterday that exhausted me before the first sentence was done, and it was a million pages long.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but…

The Clams had a fantastic rehearsal last night, cos we got to do songs that have been on the periphery for a while.  We played 50 songs over the course of three gigs last weekend, so we got to see which songs haven’t been played in a while, if at all.  Good originals, and a couple groovy covers too.  As the guys were leaving it POURED down rain, and there was a fantastic lightning show too.  Is it ever gonna stop raining??

So if you’re “following” this blog, I hinted at some reviews of rock n roll books that I’ve read this year.  Gotta say, the most entertaining one was I AM OZZY.  Hilarious!  It was transcribed from tapes of Ozzy speaking, and so his English vernacular comes across very clearly- you can almost hear his accent!  And he is self deprecating and brutally honest about how stupid he can be, which is quite endearing.  Monika and I were both in tears reading parts of it.  I heard he’s back off the wagon…  I’d party with him.  Fun guy.  GREAT book.

As some of you may know, I tend to be a media magnet here in Wilmington.  Jude was on WHQR yesterday and when she mentioned to the host that she played with me Jemila was like “Oh, I know Jeff!”  Then this morning the Penguin played my desert island set- Peaches En Regalia, Changing of The Guards, and Walk On- a nice bunch of tunes to get up and go to work to.  So, I will toot my own horn here, I just won’t reach down into the depths of my soul, or whatever.

(How come there aren’t automatically tags for stuff??)
