Motion City Soundtrack

Listening to Matty T tracking some bass for the jam of jams.  Not to toot our own horn(TOOT TOOT!), but I’d be surprised if this song isn’t a single for the new record.  It’s called “Forget About It” as of right now, I have no idea if that title will stay or go.  The song sounds like a good family movie and Shaquille O’Neal got in a fist fight, and they both had to go to the emergency room afterwards.  

I have nothing quality to tell you.  I just felt the blog necessity.  

Today’s celebrity birthday, Justin Kirk is 40.

This is what it looks like in the fortress of solitude.  Words are being carefully selected and organized(or reorganized), to convey messages of the authors choosing.  With a bit of luck, the fortress doors will one day swing wide.

I got to watch my own band play 2 days ago.  What a weird experience.  Here’s me watching, and my opinion.

Tony

last night i had the pleasure of seeing blink182 play for the first time in several years.  i felt warm inside like either i had pissed myself or my chakras had been realigned.  perhaps even both.  the party itself was a bizarre endeavorence(made that word up).  they had miniature everythings(burgers, sushi, cupcakes) on silver platters floating about and in-between good looking people who were well-dressed.  i fought my way through several robots to get one diet coke.  i nursed that fucker all night long.  is it crazy that before last night i had never seen weezer live before?  i am admitting this to you, good people(or person).  they were thoroughly entertaining.  pat is my favorite.  does he always play guitar live now.  wtf?(stands for: what the fuck.  i think it’s an australian thing)  today tony is gonna come watch his band play.  i am hoping to talk him into making a guest appearance.  if any of you know how i can entrap him into doing that, please let me know.

book stuff:  i just finished the 2nd installment of the percy jackson & the olympians series.  kid stuff, but i dig it.  i would say that those who like harry potter would dig it but you have to imagine you’re in grade school and not care that there is no real conflict.  now i’m reading palestine:peace not apartheid by jimmy carter.  that shit is all about conflict.

movies:

all that jazz - 4*

the kid stays in the picture - 5*

cries & whispers - 4*

the soloist - 4*

lady vengeance - 4*

star trek - 5*

mi vida loca - 4*

the limits of control - 4*

that’s it for now.  be good and stay golden.

Matt Taylor… Shuffle board wizard. He’s also damn good at darts.

Some of you were asking how the training thing was going. Well, this was taken halfway thru week two. We’re getting there. Thx for your support.

That’s me (Matthew S. Taylor) & Like A. Boss (Mark’s new bass) shortly before tracking a new song called “Delirium”. Dig it.

I have been on Twitter so much, that I have been neglecting ol’ Bloggy.  Unintentional, of course.  

So, I am officially into week #3 of physical therapy on my arm.  I have to say, it’s moving along a little quicker than I had expected.  I obviously still have a ways to go, but I have already regained much more use of my arm than I had expected by now.  I can’t explain to you how excited I am to get back to playing.  I actually was given the okay to start playing my practice pad for small increments everyday.  I am up to 15 minutes a day now, and in another day I can bump it up some more, or do 2 sessions per day.  It’s small, but it’s better than nothing.  

Just found out that we get to go to see a screening of Star Trek tomorrow.  I am stoked.  I have never been a Star Trek fan, but the movie looks so good, and JJ Abrams usually delivers.  The sneak peek during Lost last week looked pretty amazing.  I’ll be sharing my opinion of it on Twitter tomorrow, I’m sure…

Today’s celebrity birthday, Will Arnett is 39.

After many shows, countless bundles of joyous memories, 3 trips to the Minnesota Zoo, & 1 unforgettable guys’ night out, Justin reluctantly drops “Butters” & “Popcorn” in the rubbish tub.
