Old Friends
Friday June 20, 2008
I ran into an old friend today at Wegmans. It was Javee Javier, the old singer from Someone You Know, the Pop-Punk band I played in in 2005. He was working at the Pharmacy, which an old friend of mine, Alex Ridgel from back in the Days of Flux, used to do as well. Javee looked like he's been working out. Lol. Definately buffe up a bit. But it got me thinking: If there was any one band in my history of performing in bands that I would put back together, it would be SYK. I mean, if some magical fish-genie appeared to me one day and said "You can reunite any band you've been in" I can say full-heartedly that it would be SYK. Anyone who knows me knows that Pop-Punk is not my cup of tee, not my forté if you will, but those guys (Pat Becket, Javee Javier, Jordan Jeong, and Ian Horrace) can turn any music into fun. Seriousely I think i can confidently say that it's the only band that I've ever been in that never felt like a job, it felt like pure, unadulterated fun. Ian could probably attest to this seeing as he doesn't like that style of music either (can't really blame him because Green Day's drum lines SUCK.)
I think if i were to pick a favorite song that we did, it would probably be B Song. I also have some old-school pictures of some of the merchandise we had at the time, too. So dig in.

And obviousely, my blog is back up. I re-installed the software to my server.
I can keep a rhythm with no metronome, no metronome, no metronome....
I can lead a nation with a microphone, a microphone, a microphone.....
