I went to the Mass Chaos tour in Huntington, Saturday night.  Mass Chaos = Brook Royal, Halestorm, Staind, and Godsmack.  I've never heard of Brook Royal before, but they did a good job.  I think I just might have to check out some of their stuff.  Halestorm did a really good job.  I was surprised.  I've heard a few of their songs before, and thought they were okay, but they rocked the house!  It was my second time seeing Staind.  They sounded good, but Aaron Lewis just didn't seem too in to it.  He must have been on one of his bipolar trips, or something.  Poor guy...  Godsmack was awesome!  I was surprised by them, too.  I've heard they put on a really good live show, and I guess I heard right.  Sully Erna was sick.  They did a lot of instrumental stuff, and they didn't play very long, but they were still great.  I didn't know Sully could play drums.  He did a dueling drum solo with Shannon Larkin.  It was very cool!  Anyway, I enjoyed myself at the big rock show.  "It's been a while."

Recording!

As promised, I'm finally getting down to business!  Here's the proof:

Trying to figure out how to transfer the drum beat from my head to an actual drum set for an original song, "Down I Go."

Go!!!

I don't get it...

According to Brandon, this is Dad-da:

Question of the day

Is it just me, or does this buffalo look strikingly similar to Billy Bob Thorton in "Slingblade?"

New Alliance?!

Happy Birthday, Brandon!

Jeepers Creepers!

Meet the new Fewget family vehicle!









Oh, and Happy New Year from all of ours to all of yours.

Drunk Santa!

This is Earl, That Old Drunk Man's BFF.

Well, it's Christmas time again, and that could mean only one thing -- It's time for our somewhat annual Karaoke album! Know a song you'd love to hear us sing? Email any suggestions to: sandman1975@hotmail.com. Hey, it's fun!

Mall Markey!

In Duh Studio!

Hey, hey! The Cruel Music studio is finally operational! The last segment of the new WDN CD, "Trick Or Treat," was recorded in the studio. It's the first time anything has been recorded in there since March 2009. Pretty historic stuff! That means that we should be putting out some better quality recordings now. The two and a half year Cruel Music slump has ended!

In Duh House!

I'm getting lazy again... Well... I'm too busy to be lazy right now! Umm... By the way, we finally got moved in to our new house on Wednesday, October 19th. On Thursday, October 20th we bought two goldfish. On Saturday, October 22 the driver's side door fell off my Mustang. On Saturday, October 29th we had our first frost of the year. And, later on today, Monday, October 31, we'll be taking Brandon out trick or treating for his second time. He's going to be a penguin. Pictures of all this stuff will be coming soon, I suppose...

The Cruel Music wheels are still turning. They're turning slowly these days, but they are turning. Maybe I could put some WD40 on that? Hopefully, the 81st WDN album will be completed sometime today. It's a big Halloween spectacular whoop-tee-do!

Decoded: Baby Talk

Brandon has his own language. I've been trying to translate some of the stuff he's saying, so I'll know what he's talking about. Here's what I have so far:

Tee Tee Tah Tum = Turn the TV on.
Bee = Brush your teeth.
Mmmaw Markey = Walmart (Note: This word is sometimes prounounced "Mmmaw Mart Sar")
Mum mum = I'm hungry!
Da Da Da! = I found this thing in the floor. Take it, please.

That Old Drunk Man

Joyce Gail, Her Boyfriend, And Bicycles

Chicken George!

I think he was trying to steal these people's garbage can a few minutes later...

Stuck!!!

So, Brandon plays this game, where he gets himself wedged between the wall and the bed, and he yells, "Stuck!"

I saw this at the floodwall in town, the other day, and I couldn't resist.

And, then...

Houston, We Have Furniture!

I would have never imagined that there was so much work involved in buying/moving into a double-wide trailer! I thought they'd just slap the trailers together, and we'd be good to go. Nope. We had to do all the plumbing, clean up the trailer crew's mess, wait for them to come back and fix things, clean up more messes, wait for the skirting to come in, clean up more messes, wait for the air conditioner to come in, do some more cleaning, and, finally, wait for the furniture to get here. The furniture came in today! I didn't get to take pictures of it yet, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Well... Okay... You talked me into it. I'll post pictures soon.

In other news, the "Man" family painted their house again! I mentioned on the old web site that they paint their house about 3 or 4 times a year. It has been yellow trimmed in green for a cople years now. They finally got back in the habit of painting it again a few days ago. It's now tan trimmed in brown.

Cruel Music is still hybernating. It's starting to wake up, though. I have several projects in the works... If I could only get time to work on the works... It shouldn't be much longer though. Sit tight. It'll be worth the wait, I promise!
