…TONIGHT AT LEWIS UNIVERSITY.
I’m trying to get SISKY BUSINESS to come out to the show tonight. Even with his gimp-finger, he should have no problem making the short drive down from the Chicago ‘burbs to hang out with his good buddies at Lewis University, right?
Then, the unthinkable happened…
…But I missed the call. Damn it all.
So Butcher and I played with Photo...

DAY OFF IN DALLAS: a photo log - final chapter
thewilliambeckett:
This painfully prolonged photo log, chronicling one of the more memorable days off on the acoustic tour, has finally come to fruition. In honor of our surgery recovering pal, Sisky Business, I give you the final chapter in this underwhelming tale;
HEROES AND VILLIANS
I met my old German friend, Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. He liked my pseudo goatee.
We then...
THE FOLDING
thewilliambeckett:
ONE
Winter.
Squinting through the windshield into an unusually dark afternoon,
headlights reflecting off of white rain and sleet, I slowly ease on my
brakes. A ways ahead, a wave of brake lights exclaim red. Their
exclamations are brightly lit, aligned ahead of one another, stretching
up and over the top of a small hill. I let out a sigh of frustration...
Preface
thewilliambeckett:
The following piece (above) is the first chapter of a project I’ve been working on for over two years. Some of you may have seen this floating around before, but I’m planning on unveiling the story chapter by chapter on the site, (at least the first handful), as I finish the project in the coming months. It is my intention to eventually try and publish the final work, among...
EXTRA EXTRA - A note from Siskys good hand
adamtaylorsiska:
Hey there my friends. As some of you may have heard there was a freak accident last Wednesday night. I will be undergoing a surgery tomorrow morning and will unfortunately be unable to accompany the band on the upcoming trip to The United Kingdom & Belgium. I had really been looking forward to these shows and I cannot express the disappointment I feel. In times of need it is...
Indirect Update
adamtaylorsiska:
Hey guys. Sorry I have already let the slack pick up on my blog. Its been a rough week in and out of the hospital.
I read a blog by my friend The Butcher and it made me laugh many times.
I think its from his myspace.
Anyway if you haven’t already read this, it should help bring you up to speed on a few things.
More from me soon! I pinky promise!

SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB #25
SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB #25 Devotchka - How It Ends The title track from their album, you may have heard this song before in a film called Little Miss Sunshine. An incredibly powerful vocal performance, ranging dynamically and emotionally, this song illustrates perfectly the idea that sometimes less is more. I’m running late this morning, and I thought for SNMC this weekend, in celebration of...

TAKING MY OWN ADVICE. (TWBB)
TAKING MY OWN ADVICE. By the way, before this is over there will be some things said that may cause a heightened sense of self, and you may start to consider your actions and how they affect everyone else. Don’t be alarmed, these are just common side effects: You may also experience JOY, PAIN, GUILT, UNEASINESS, MALCONTENT, NAUSEA, HYPERACTIVE EXCITEMENT, LOVE, PLEASURE, HATE, AND IN SOME CASES…...

Jury Selection On My Birthday (TWBB)
What a glorious way to celebrate growing another year older. In a room filled with my caffeine addicted, nicotine stained, open-mouthed gum chewing peers, I take a number, a name tag, and then an open seat. We sit in scattered vicinity with at least four seats of separation between each of us. I notice the rows of unfolded push down seats dead bolted into the floor, the shitty 1993 issued HITACHI...

A photo of my friend Mike Carden as a young little bastard. This photo captures the essence of the man, the myth, the maniac. I first met Mike at our the very first band practice of “The Academy” on March 4th, 2003. I had been a fan of his former band “Jodie” so I was very nervous about meeting such an established rocker. I came down in the basement and found him wearing a blue Chicago Bears...

CLUB DE MUSICA DEL SABADO POR LA NOCHE #24
SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB #24 The Shins - Gone For Good The past few days I’ve been listening to a lot of The Shins, and consequently, I’ve been covering my favorite song by them at the acoustic shows. From Chutes Too Narrow, arguably my preferred album, this song always struck me the right way. A very sad, honest story married with unmistakably unique melody, so characteristically “Shins”, and...

SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB ATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB...
SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB # 23 Good Old War - Looking For Shelter I just landed in Dallas about an hour ago, and from my perspective the bus looks like a bunk bed. I’m on bottom. Chile was extraordinary and life changing. More on the experience later, for at the moment I’m bordering delusion brought on by sleep deprivation. Strangely, and fittingly, the first thing I wanted to hear when I stepped...

En mi opinion lo hace bastante bien mientras lo intenta.
