Today your love, tomorrow the world...

I think that for most of the years where I actually thought I liked music, the Ramones have been my very favourite band. I think I was twelve when I got their anthology, which is basically like a greatest hit, only a very friendly greatest hits because it includes a lot of the songs from their last ten albums which aren't worth remembering. I heard a couple of guys in my school going on about them, and these guys liked NOFX so I figured I should check them out. Up untill this point I was ready to give up all hope of learning how to play my new guitar and join a cool rock band. I'm really shit at sticking with things, because I'm generally not good at most things but figure the next thing I do I'll be fucking christmas at doing. Of course I'd never live up to my expectations right away so I'd quit. I quit Hurley, Gaelic, Speech and Drama, dancing, Astrology, Astronomy, Tae Kwon Do, some obscure martial art I can't remember, and a load of other stuff that involved my parents wasting money on. I couldn't play any of the songs of the bands I liked on guitar that quickly so I was ready to give up, but when I heard the Ramones and how cool they were and how easy there songs were to play, I was delighted. I started a band with two guys from my school and we most of our practices we played Ramones covers. I think we played Rockaway Beach at some gigs too. I saw a video of them playing Loudmouth in their friends loft a few weeks ago, and then for like two hours I just watched old videos of their gigs, then played guitar for ages and wrote a fun new song. I think bands that can make you do that are the best kind of bands.

This music video is hilarious, because it's like the so shit/awesome, much in the same way the film is. Rock'n'Roll high school

Also worth a look, but not shit at all. Rockaway beach in like 77

Theres' going to be a really cool gig on tomorrow night, in Fibbers which I've never been to. The headlining band is The Carrier from Boston, but I'm most excited for the bands supporting. I'm real looking forward to seeing Dead Wrong because they've only played one gig, and it was good stuff.
