A Visual Present for Aja, Seemingly In Absentia....

Who is that other person?

Thanks Alex.

You really don't have to do thing like that for me.

Although, it is good practice for doing things like that for your soon to be child.

A new band name!

"Skeeter"?

You must be talking about "Just Another Story About Skeeter Thompson." Skeeter was the bass player of the band Scream.

My dad mistaken him for the bass player from the Dead Kennedys once. He went up to Skeeter and said, "Great show last night."

Skeeter said, "We didn't play last night." And I guess eventually my dad found out it wasn't the guy from the Dead Kennedys.

funny song.

so we were in Amsterdam
and we were staying at this guy
Toss's house
good friend of ours
uhh
its kinda in the middle of the city
we were just finished with our
second European tour
and everything was going pretty good
Skeeter, he met this girl that lived
next door to Toss's
and within a couple of weeks he started
living with her, you know?
and i guess she had a lot of money or something
cause she was constantly buying him clothes
and getting him lots of stuff and loading him
with money, you know?
He was constantly going to the coffee shop
always getting the best herb and the best
hash, you know?
he was in good shape
she was really good looking, she was
really cool
i, i don't think he'd ever met her before
but she had, you know, other boyfriends i suppose
so i'm sitting on the couch, you know, in
Toss's apartment
and im reading, you know, maximum rock and
roll or flip side
one of those punk things
and i heard Skeeter come in
and he came in and he had all these really
nice clothes on
she bought him all this stuff
she like bought him cologne
he was really really smelling good, you know
he looked good too
you know he came in and put his herb
on the table and, whatever
i'm just reading my little punk magazine
not really paying attention
and then he says, uh, he says hey dave
and i look up
and he's standing there with his dick
in his hand
and he's kinda got it like lifted up so
he's looking at the head of his dick
he kinda pointed it at me
i didnt know what to think
he said does that look like pus to you
i said no i think its lint

what a story!

Smoking Kills Man.

Uhh, it's just not good to smoke.

It also means he smells like smoke. And his clothes too. Oh God. I hate that smell.

(x post)

Yeah, those are the exact lyrics to the Buzzo song "Skeeter" too.. I meant to ask.. are you referring to an actual Dave Grohl spoken word release which includes a track called "Just Another Story About Skeeter Thompson"? Is this just a tape that's been going around? I'm curious about the source of the actual title of the story.

Umm. It's original title is "Just Another Story About Skeeter Thompson" It was originally on Pocketwatch, that album Dave made under the name Late. I got it on a Japanese release called Lost Treasures. It's just the Pocketwatch demos. They also have it on bootlegs.

My favorite song form Pocketwatch is "Pokey the Little Puppy." Such a simple, yet likeable instrumental.

Whoops. too.

"It's original title"

Its.

I usually spell that right!

I love the Melvins take on "Skeeter", just because their music fits David's story-telling meter soooo well.

Oh. I love "Pokey the Little Puppy" and now that I think about it, it is dark. A bit depressing, for an instumental. "Throwing Needles" is good! "Milk", "Butterflies", and maybe "Hells Garden" are a bit like "Floaty." "Petrol CB" is weird, but good. He's got a distorted voice, but then the chourus is like, electric and acoustic and regular voice. "Friend of a Friend" and Coloured Pictures of a Marigold" are the pretty acoustic songs. "Friend of a Friend" is more depressing than "Pictures of a Marigold." Sad songs. "Winnabego" is just a regular song, pretty much. "Bruce" is like a song that make me think is just to listen to while you sit around and smoke pot. Jezz! It's slow! And "Sketter" is more like a song just there. It's fun to listen to though.

He is a good guitar player.

But Geordie Walker is better!!
