http://www.nowhereband.org/blog news about Nowhere Band and about nowhere bands in general Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:41:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm convinced that this is how most practice spaces work. If you're in one for a very long time and have a great deal of patience, you can fine-tune things a little, but for the most part I think this is how things are... although I guess the one thing ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/10/13/nowhere-47-layout/ Even Josh has limits to who he wants to come to shows. Can you blame him? Getting grandmotherly huggles after a show is about the least-rocking thing in the world. During the heyday of AC/DC, the Young brothers kept their grandmother chained up in a basement just to prevent such ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/10/06/nowhere-46-the-unwelcome-guest/ Man, those Swedish death metal dudes are depraved. Depraved and lewd. http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/28/nowhere-45-welcome-to-the-jungle/ So, David Foster Wallace. Wow, that was tough; I've rearranged a whole lot of my mental furniture in response to stuff he wrote. His story "Good Old Neon" fundamentally changed the way I think about depression.  Disturbingly, "Good Old Neon" is all about the suicide urge and how depression is ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/26/wallace/ Nowhere 45 will be up by Monday for sure. And I'll say this: until Tuesday night, no Nowhere strip had reduced me to incoherent giggles at my drawing table. 45 did, in a big way. So, if nothing else, I guess now the world will be able to get a firm ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/26/production-update/ [gallery] We had to put our car, Ella, to sleep on Thursday. We're both still pretty shaken up about it-- 6 weeks ago, she was totally fine. And then she developed a limp, and then things got steadily worse by the week as what turned out to be cancer (we thought ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/20/big-michigan-1995-2008/ Wherein Dan and Miranda talk about where the Awesome Boys fit into the bigger scheme of their lives. I like the way this one looks; it's been a long time since I've done something with a black gutter, which I used to way, way overdo. In moderation, it's a cool look. Other ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/16/nowhere-44-priorities/ This is a handout I whipped up to, um, hand out at tonight's Derailleur show at the Bedlam Theater (we're too cheap or too futuristic to make CDs). We go on at 8:30ish, the other bands are reputed to be excellent, and the $10 entry fee goes towards a project ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/12/derailleur-show-tonight-plus-production-update/ Where do you go when you've busted your guitar, need a new one, and don't have much cash? You go to a dark, dark place; a place where 14-year-olds seranade you with their metallic chops; a place where dudes with ponytails try to sell hundred-watt amps to practice with in ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/08/nowhere-43-the-ninth-ring/ Not that you put a lot of thought into it when you go guitar-smashing, but maybe Aaron should have thought things through a little bit more than he did... Like I said for #41, I've never smashed a guitar, but I did get rid of one because I thought it ... http://www.nowhereband.org/blog/2008/09/01/nowhere-42-whoops/
