A Week in a Room

2011-12-27T12:03:00.000-08:00

Across the street there is a grey roof which covers a porch in blue which meets of course, a white picket fence. Car parked in the drive. Streets are empty at one thirty. Downstairs there is a Anonymous meeting of some sort going on. The two seat sofa is covered in stain and the reviews on the internet are the worst I have ever read. Apparently the place has been "redone" recently, and the outside doesnt look bad but once inside your room it is a Bukowski or Waits nightmare (or dream come true depending whose lense you are looking through).

I wont pretend Ive never been somewhere like this before. And for $200 a week, its a pretty expensive slum. Being that is about what my income is a week, this isn't going to last long and really, Ive no other place to go (until the next pay check arrives). I know I am smart and capable and if I did have the capital to start my own business, itd be better than the next guys. Thats not why Im here. Ive spent too much money on drink and weed but thats not it either. Ive been chasing that thing. That thing that anyone who writes, paints, sings, composes, shoots film, what have you, chases. The thing that makes you need to connect with your human race on another level. To shake people out of their me, me, me mentality and turn them on to what brings us together. The shot in the arm that makes us understand our condition here, so it is wholly understood in an instant though you never saw it coming. Not some script from a family television show, but chasing something that is life-altering. It can be a wormhole and it is certainly fleeting, but thats why I find it important to hunt.

Once youve been bitten, theres no going back. I got hip to it early. Thats part of the problem. No matter what state you may find me in, Im glad this course chose me. Its an amazing thing being in a room with your friends and all of a sudden, something that didnt exist before has come out the ether and enveloped you all and you all know something undeniable just happened. It took you over for a moment. Every part of you felt it. Im 34 and people tell me to get my shit together all the time. Everyone has life advice for me. I have some for you. Do something with your life that makes me feel as good as I do when those moments strike. And as the band gets better and better, it happens more and more. Im not living hard because I feel like artists need to suffer. I have a hard time calling myself an artist. Its not that hard. It just takes time. It has its ups and downs surely. I dont know why I felt the need to write this. In this dump of a room I read Patti Smiths "Just Kids", recorded some music, found some old songs and walked to the beach every day to get some fresh air and perspective and exchanged pleasantries with alot of genuine people struggling with things I do not fully understand. Not bad really.

I started a KICKSTARTER for my band WREATHS to make our debut record the way we want to do it, not the cheapest way. To start a boutique record label that eventually will enable us to put out someone elses the right way, & leads to someone elses... ala DISCHORD RECORDS or MERGE or TROUBLEMAN. To work with people we respect, on equipment that took great care to make. We are not going to let any detail slip by.

If you have $15 in your account and we can find 700 or so people like you who want to help too, then as they say, we are in business. If it doesnt happen, we will still make a record. Itll just take alot longer but eventually, we will get it on wax.

With love,
S

2011-03-17T05:32:00.000-07:00

The second Wreaths show was at Asbury Lanes opening for Luger. They were amazing. Apparently the singer from the record has left the band, which I must say, the singing was my least favorite part of the recordings. Live, they rule and I cant wait for the new recordings.
Check em out.

Wreaths have demod a bunch of stuff and we are going to record with Jeff Humphrey at No Fun Camp in lovely downtown Jersey City, and also track to 2" at Retromedia Studios in Red Bank, NJ. I like this band alot.

The 3rd Wreaths show was at the Court Tavern with Eastern Anchors and Zero for Conduct and Gabe, the Courts soundman is great at his job. Cant say that about too many soundpeople I meet.

Time to make our first LP.

KP to bcc: me
show details 12:11 PM (1 hour ago)
Hello Friends,

In an attempt to get in touch with you all about things involving the band Higgins, I am sending out this first ever Higgins musics email! Yes folks, we have an email entirely devoted to everyone's favorite, tastefully not in your face, rock outfit. So lets not make a big deal about it and get to the meat of this thing.

Firstly,
We are playing our first show in almost a year tonight 2.12.2011. 8pm at the Cakeshop in NYC. This is very exiting for us because we are playing with my favorite new band Yellowbirds. Yellowbirds are Incredible and we are honored that they have asked us to play their Record Release Show. Also, BK and Josh (of Higgins fame) will be playing with Yellowbirds. Eh... Eh...

Secondly,
I have decided that the new Higgins record is done. Its not mixed completely yet and though I have a concept, not a lick of the artwork has been done... But I will be tracking no more and I am proud to say that Serious Business Records will open its arms to us once more and lob it out in a couple of months. There will be a few digital download whistle wetters before the "full release"... The album will be entitled "Straight A's" in honor of my current scholastic pursuits. Its full of all the things that make us us and a few new twists and "are they really doing this?" moments. It also features a bunch of guests, old and new friends on various instruments. I will keep you posted on the latest with that...

Lastly,
If you don't want to get these updates, let me know and I'll take you off this list. Otherwise, I hope you all are doing great and enjoying this ass kicking winter.

Sincerely,
KP

P.S.ly Keep an eye out for the new Rocketship Park record "Cakes and Cookies" on Serious Business Records and the new Marshmallow Coast record "Seniors Juniors Strikes Back" on HHBTM. Great F'ng records from great F'ng folks coming soon. Oh and Yellowbirds "The Color" on Royal Potato Family... of course

happy to get that in me inbox.

The first celebrity found guilty of murder on Hollywood's home turf in at least 40 years, Phil Spector

2010-10-30T00:34:00.000-07:00

The 69-year-old Spector faces a mandatory life prison term when he is sentenced May 29. He must serve at least 18 years before being eligible for parole.

the agony & the ecstacy of phil spector gets five stars. the man is funny, saddened and the reason behind why he wore an afro for the trial made my day. On his 3rd(!?!) trial he was convicted. Wow. Three trials.

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/apr/14/local/me-spector14

Early in the sessions, Spector reportedly held the Ramones hostage at gunpoint. According to Dee Dee, when Spector took Joey away for a three-hour private meeting somewhere in his mansion where the album was to be recorded, Dee Dee went looking for them. "The next thing I knew Phil appeared at the top of the staircase, shouting and waving a pistol," Dee Dee later wrote:“ "Phil," I challenged him, "I don't know what your fucking problem is, waving that pistol around and all that stuff.... I've had it. I'm going back to the Tropicana."..."You're not going anywhere, Dee Dee," Phil said.He leveled his gun at my heart and then motioned for me and the rest of the band to get back in the piano room.... He only holstered his pistol when he felt secure that his bodyguards could take over. Then he sat down at his black concert piano and made us listen to him play and sing "Baby, I Love You" until well after 4:30 in the morning.[3]”Dee Dee claimed to have left the recording sessions without recording anything. "We had been working for at least fourteen or fifteen hours a day for thirteen days straight and we still hadn't recorded one note of music," he wrote in his autobiography. After supposedly hearing that Johnny had returned to New York, Dee Dee wrote that he and drummer Marky Ramone booked a flight and returned home as well. "To this day, I still have no idea how they made the album End of the Century, or who actually played bass on it."

2010-09-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

hello.
sad to report due to the split of the band, perhaps transparent has shelved the glass trees release scheduled.

in time i will put up some of the music we made in the past year in some format or another and i plan to dude some sort of 'best of' or something from the past 6 years.

Kenichi, Andy and Christene are going to carry on, name coming. In the meantime Im going to build a little studio and make a record myself, play keyboards with my friends in the VAMPIRE BATS, record a record with GREASY LEGS (with Jeff Humphrey) & hope to finish our WREATHS record.

I cant wait for October.

due to "going nowehere fast", "playing a bad version of a bad cover song to support some guy's wet dream.", and time needed to praise Allah, glass trees says goodnight. All bullshit aside, After 6 years of wrapping myself in this blanket I just need to break from it. Kenichi, Christene and Andrew have been wonderful and more ground was covered than imagined. Thank you one and all for your input, time and love. I think we've left behind a wealth of interesting music. Thank you for your part.
peace and love

!!!

As we continue to play, record, sift..tomorrow we will have a beautiful new number on cd for sale entitled 'in a car'. we have tacked vocals on to 'pathmark' but they are still raw and its still to be worked on, but we threw that on to share with one of the 17 people who may (or may not) go home with the homebrew discs we've made. Otherwise there is another piece called 'ROLL THE GORILLA' that saw a quick mix and will have its first version released as well. Its the first time Christene and Kenichie played bass together. Luckily we had the 'tape' rolling. Christene also makes her vocal debut on this beauty.

The CDRs we make for shows will be constatntly changing and do not expect 2 shows to have the same discs repeat. Not if I can help it and that is my mission for the rest of the year. The quality may shift from track to track but we would not put anything out that we didnt think had something to offer. We have asked friends help us out and do some mixing, so that should keep things rolling as well. The cdrs are a lil 'out' and a lil more experimental....

Otherwise the band has talked and agreed we are going to focus on recording and putting out a 12" EP. Ive learned to not say when, just that it shall be done.

Onward.

Andys Version CDR for 4/16/10:
1. Pathmark (demo scratch vox)
2. Eves Eve (mix 1)
3. Chair
4. Caeser
5. Atlantic City
6. Bruised Snowflake
7. Piano
8. Hit the Space Bar
9. In a Car
10. Roll the Gorilla

Thanks to Dane, Matt & Kevin for the mixes and computer know how.

If you are reading this and it's Wednesday come on out to Maxwells! Kim Tsu is going to be joining us as a member of our band for a nite and if its as cool as it was at practice, you shall be pleased.

We are going to make some handmade CDRs for the Martini Red show on Saturday. They will be limited and with some stuff Im not going to put on the internet or anywhere else. Wont have time to do it for Maxwells it seems. Maybe.

O, Blurple has been added to the bill on Saturday for their CD release party. Looks like we are going on at Midnight following In Buenos Aires.

Slowly sifting thru sounds and figuring what to work on, what to leave as is and what to discard. For Texas we should have a hard copy of selections off the last few internet records weaved with mostly new stuff on a small run of CDs pro-pressed artwork and all.

I know Myspace is lame but it has served us well in the past so I put up a few new ones there: www.myspace.com/glasstrees

Nite.
