A Movie Script Ending....

so last thursday i got off work and decided to have a couple drinks at the strauss house....after all...its four dollar pitcher night...three pitchers later...me and zach are at the up over getting served some overly stiff( yet appreciative) bourbons and diets. three bourbon and diets later and we are paying Steven ( and older man with cerebral palsy) to drive us across the river in his golf cart to mainstay. two royal pints of Newcastle later we take a cab to baba budans....a couple micro brews and a shot of something clear...we are back in mainstrasse....a quick walk into the village pub and out the side door....we are in a cab on our way to goth night at the dock where we played beach volleyball with dudes wearing gauntlets and eyeliner.

this weekend. lexington....and knoxville.

will diplomatic relations fail between the united states and great britain due to the oil spillage in the gulf? perhaps....1812 all over again? or this time will we bring the war to them?....will the french help us? or have we already returned the favor?

these are questions i need answered.

this was done a couple weeks ago at the southgate house in the parlour room by garrison stolz.....this camera he has is freaking insane....we messed up the song....i thought we were loud and fast that night...but perhaps i was wrong....we actually sounded pretty decent. anyways. enjoy.

You drive me ape......

I remember staying up to watch 120 minutes as a kid...or setting a vhs tape to record 120 minutes...back then....it was one of the few outlets for someone to discover underground music. then the internet broke everything out.....and now there is too many bad bands getting noticed. funny how that works. 

regardless.....ive never heard anything else from this band or what they are about or what they are doing now. i always thought that was kinda odd to be honest.....the video is really cool although i have no idea how it ties into the song....then again ive never been one to look for the deeper meaning in a song...let alone a video....people would always say they knew what cobain was writing about...well what if he was really writing about nothing and had all you deeper meaning people fooled.....that would be much to my delight for being a douche and trying to find something that isnt there.

i believe this band and song to be about two to three years ahead of their time...its just the kids weren't ready for it...or so it seems....i bought this cd on amazon for i think 50 cents.....granted this and two other songs are the only good songs on the cd....i think this song still stands out and is pretty good...kinda has a weezer feel to it....something kinda metrosexually indie....nothing that you could really rock out live...but maybe jam a little to while shaving or slapping on some aqua vela aftershave.......maybe after that...walk around in your towel for an hour with your hair slicked back.....listen to the cd all the way through.....do some jumping jacks....put on your favorite flannel......a pair of blue jeans....and lay in your twin size bed and cry.....that how i could see the night going when you start out listening to this song.......

the point is....i know alt music was better when i was a kid....i talk about this all the time....i really do...i mean cmon. the bravery......hawthorne heights....all the other screamotional bands....seems a bit ridiculous to me.

there is a formual for everything now....even what im doing musically.....there is a formula....or a tradition to follow. what do you wanna do....do you wanna be an inde rocker...wearing tight clothes....reffering to your music as art.....talking about a song like its a sculpture...being overly tolerant of anything and everyone...or do you wanna be a screamo kid. which is pretty much just designer goth.....we all have choices to make in life. and these are the important ones....so whats it gonna be...indie....or designer goth?.....you cant choose punk....because its like jehovah's witness...there are only so many people getting in. and im pretty sure if you havent figured out by now that you are punk......then you never will be. but thats okay....dont cry...whatever you do....dont freak out....you're identity crisis will only last a couple years. 

my new diet.

yesterday i decided that i am no longer going to eat meat during the week. im gonna call it the Jenkins diet.

i will only eat pineapple, fruit cocktail, bagels, cheese, and cucumber during the week. and on the weekends i will eat a large four topping pizza from larosas.....all to myself. by doing this...intend to neither gain weight....or lose weight but maintain a steady equilibrium.....or a dynamic equilibrium if you will.

FUN WITH A CAMERA.

here are some videos of some shit ive done either in bands or in drunkeness.




ROCK N RACE

this was a rockabilly festival sltt played in west salem ohio in the summer of 08. we were playing alot out of town back then. i think the fellas kept on playing out of town alot...im not sure....i quit the band in november. the sound on this is horrible. but its worth checking out.


@ the gypsy hut

sayonara tiger. @ the basement in cbus. we had a couple pretty good shows there thanks to emanual letting us open for them a couple times. poor quality...but you get the gist.




drunken

i have no comment on this one.




drinkin after a show

George Marshall Jenkins IV | MySpace Video

this was a fun night.

i thought i told ya that we wont stop.

ive been eating alot of pineapple. canned pineapple. its a wonder fruit. nutritious and delicious.

i bought some corned beef hash the other day and ate it with eggs....its very akin too goetta....but goetta is better.

i lost my speedy rewards card...but quickly gained it back. praise his name.

the show @ the sgh was a sort of return to rock in a sense. a little loud....a little fast. but the energy was there.

ive got scars from burning myself with cigs. vitamin e where are you?

there haven't been very many parties as of late at the whoopy dang lodge....and i might just say its relaxing.

zildian k custom ride now looks like pac man. ive been cutting and cutting the crack........pretty soon it will be time to buy a new cymbal. i just cant afford it.

the riverdales have a new album. so im back listening to all their albums again. i love them with all my heart.....my black heart.....my emo heart.

i ordered a pizza from larosas today...and im happy. three cheese...bacon, onion, mushroom,sausage. holler.

oso bear played at the down under with tina sparkle and the dripping slits. both bands are really great and good people. had alot of fun.

the night before was the sgh show..after the show me and matt decided it would be fun to shoot bottle rockets at all the people walking out of the strauss house.....we were like little kids. the cops walking up to our fence and politely asked us to stop...we obliged...then cooked some bratwurst...and continued to drinkn delicious pabst blue ribbon till we found it time to go to bed. whoopy dang?........i think so.

last night went to a 90s tribute show. alot of good music...but weird. the 90s werent such a great era in music......i mean...alot of good music...but when you look back...people arent gonna be like......hey i listen to 90's music.....i mean you can say that kinda with the other decades....youve got all those douche bags that say the 70s had the best music. i cant disagree more.....there were good bands in the 80s...but not a decade of superior music. im sorry. it was the 80s. live with it.

covington.....love it.....embrace it.....live in the trenches.

i had an idea for a street banner for north side. "we are young, we are alternative, we are north side"....and i dont even live there....thats what im doing...is thinking of the big picture for all the enclaves in the greater Cincinnati area. just dont put Kentucky in your greater Cincinnati area...you can have Indiana. all points west of the state lines.......but not my precious Kentucky.

i guess i really dont have anything against northside except for the fact that its just overrated. no....its not even that. its how hard people try to express there so called individuality.....and they end up all looking the same....same tattoos....same brown tones.....same hair cuts...same ironic pleather jacket......the question is are you really an individual....or just meat for the machine? and when i say meat....im talking......a good 80/20 mix of ground sirloin and chuck. thats what im talking about.

the hot snakes at first listen....are a bit boring....but im digging them as of late.

lovely crash. new guitar player...out of town shows...shows in northside...shows at baba budans....good times. we keep on keepin on.....i think we are getting better every show we play...at least i am getting more comfortable.....fun.

i need a haircut. i need to stop eating speedway food.
