Holy Crap dudes, two upcoming shows! Apparently if I set my mind to it, something will totally happen. On Friday, August 24th, at Garfield Artworks, 8pm (probably 5-7 dollars, all ages) Huxtables (totally sweet trashy instrumental surf rock) SnakesSayHisss (synthpop sweetness) JonBro (its me! more on that at the end of the post) Jacob Pope & The Free Agents Some video from The Huxtables the huxtables-Hopper C
and then!!! At Kopec's (3523 Penn Ave) on Saturday, September 1st at 10pm (5$ and 21+) Captain Ahab (fucking mental early 90's homoerotic synthpop) Realicide (Experimental Happy Hardcore?) LORD BIRD GOLDEN DISKO SHOWER and JonBro (ME!!!@?#!@?) I am super excited to play with captain ahab. I remember discovering their music right after mp3.com went belly up. Holy crap. It is like a little slice of my past. What I am up to? I have been doing backing tracks on the GP2x with live drumming and singing, and I am fucking proud of it. If anyone wants to book me in their city, let me know. I am pumped for some touring right about now.

Cap the bottle very tightly, and invert it a few times so the sugar dissolves. -place in a cool place (i put mine in the closet) for 24-48 hours. Check on the bottle and if it is hard to the touch, showing you there is a decent amount of fermentation/carbonation that has occured, place it in teh fridge over night. if not, let it sit a little longer until the bottle is hard with pressure. allowing it to cool over night will assure you dont explode ginger ale all over the place, and it will taste better. You may want to pour it through a strainer when you have a glass, as lemon and ginger bit may still be floating. In the end, this is one of the best ginger ales i have ever tasted, and super simple. There are some potentially large posts in the tubes, I just didn't want to let this blog completely die before I was able to figure out a replacement for it.

just finished a 4 hour long meal. totally satisfied. had chicken with chili and lime, beer, corn, and chocolate. laid in the grass and looked at the stars. I would have put this in twitter, but I was 5 characters over the limit. This is happening with disturbing frequency, look for posts on this blog to pick up with increasing frequency at least until I can figure out a better solution. Another thing that is in the pipe is this twitter to facebook status bridge. It is clearly not done, but a quick/fun project none the less. If you would go ahead and edit the login and password information for your accounts on both of these services and setup a cron job to call this script, you would be golden. Also, you are gonna need the facebook bot, which just happens to be the first opensource project that I have ever contributed to. Here is the download. As a final note, here is a download of an ep that I finished in the past month or so. It is mostly techno bangers, with a brief excursion into videogamemusic. I promise that the next one will be on a proper netlable rather than mixed in with soooo much crap. Thanks for downloading in the meantime, and Thanks to onnyc for the dope ass cover! Download: JonBro - Pillar of Schmaltz!.

Ok, I am bored of waiting, here are the two tracks that I entered in blockparty. mista bojangles toasty transport for serious, your face There are also a bunch of other tracks in the music dump which you may want to listen to. There is no telling when I will delete them either, so go download now.
