AWESOME Movie and Book recoomendations!

Well people, I am very proud of myself today. I didn't spend any money today even though I got paid, and I cleaned my room, and my office as well! I found two microphone cables, they still smell brand new, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they work! One of these days I am going to take apart the ones that don't work and re-solder them together. I'll be using multiple mics on the drums for rock city band recordings in no time! The Rock city band DID record this week. They recorded an epic track that is really like two songs in one, AND it has lyrics, so that almost means more than what they usually do (recording several instrumentals in a day with no lyrics). It has been a very productive week for good old Matty! I also organized my books, damn I sure have accumulated a ton of them! I have been putting off reading one book for a while now, Cujo, by Stephen King. That had to be the worst movie I ever saw affiliated with Stephen king (besides Creepshow), so I am not i

Musician Paradox

Hello people! Well today is a very glorious day, the weather is starting to warm up again! I hope everyone is having an excellent week! I am still sticking to my plan of no social functions this week. The reason having mostly to do with my money situation at this moment! I am very disappointed in gas prices right now, they shot up over night! My mom very intelligently advised me to gas my car up on Monday, she could tell by the stock market that gas prices would go up this week. She is a very special, charming lady. I am going to cut her grass today! The weather should be fine for it. Well today I lost self control once more and uploaded another track. This version was recorded when I breifly set up my operation in nyc. That place is very expensive. I hope I visit there sometime soon, but alas, my money situation isn't that good, like I said. I have thought of moving back there. I can, but it would involve liquidating some of my musical assets for the journey, which I hate to do!

fingers crossed

Hello people! Well I think I might have a gig coming up, I am crossing my fingers, hoping the rest of the Bad Mics can do it. Other than that, I lost self control and posted this song! Listen to it! Speak my Heart (Slow Dance Mix) Now I am just getting ready to teach my classes. See ya! ---Matt

that's why I keep her around....

Hello people! Well today was a very good productive day for me! I got about 4 hours practice in so far! I was using my secret weapon alot today. I decided it was time to start wearing earplugs. Now I don't have to feel as guilty! You may have noticed, that some of the Rock City Band's music was leaked, by me of course. I need to start trying this new thing I heard about a while back...... I think they call it self control ? I don't know. I figure I do have some quirky rage inside of me that causes me to record strange vocals on what would otherwise be instrumental jams no nobody would probably listen to otherwise. hehe he h he. I am not complaining, I enjoy hearing my music enough for everybody! U may have noticed I took a slam at two other artists in my last blog, it was all in good fun, and I hope you don't think I am spreading around negativity! You see, I do enjoy the Rock City Bands recordings enough for everybody--- I get a special sense of pride because I am v

I don't give a care in the world!

Hello people! Well today has just been one relaxing day! I also worked out too. I am going to be taking a long break from social activities of any sort. The Rock City band has been begging my ass to let them record again. We can start again on Monday. Oh how I love being in control of the power dynamic! I feel good! Tomorrow the Bad Mics are playing with a potential new permanent drummer. Wish us well please! Today I was watching a concert of the Rhcp recorded in 2012. They have a new guitar player now, he sounds pretty much the same as the other one to me. Watching them play makes me a little sick...... THEY ARE SUCH GOOD MUSICIANS THAT IT MAKES ME WANT TO QUIT! heh ehe he hhe. But then I realize that nowadays I really only gotta compete with shit like Rihanna and Lana Del Ray or whatever hoe is in this week! It's pretty wild! RHCP sounded so good! Damn, I don't know how some guitar players discover some of the tones they get. I tell you, monkeying with my setup for hours

You can't please everybody!!!!!!!

Hey people! Well the blog has taken a downturn, not as many posts, but at least I am not embarassing myself as much! Last night I had a very festive evening with my friend Josh! I got pretty drunk! No worries though, I stopped drinking long enough to be sober on the drive home. I am very concientious in that way. I know some people might want to paint me as some sort of alcholiic, because yes I do like to drink during the day sometimes. Sometimes I like to already be a little drunk before my friends come over. I believe I owe it to them to be in a good mood if they are going to take the time out of their life to visit me! Well it seems that lately I have just been Mr Popular, I am hanging out with two more good friends today! I haven't been drinking as much by myself though; my dad said something about all the beer cans that accumulated in the studio. Sadly, the rock city band hasn't recorded all week. I have been using the extra free time to practice. It is really important

thanks for coming to the Blind Pig Show!

Hello people! Well last night was a very big success! Very fun indeed, it gives me sort of a second wind! This morninh I went to China Buffet, it was very good. I picked up my friend at 10:30 and went to Adrain Rock City. Now I need to take a nap, but I can't fall asleep. I didn't get to bed last night until 4:30! Then I woke up at 7:30 because of the thunderstorms. The Bad Mics Facebook   Well people, the traffic to the Bad Mics page on facebook has really gone down. Please visit it, comment on it or something. I TRULY HONESTLY BELIEVE that online crap doesn't always reflect true reality, so I don't give the statistics it generates much credence. Please visit the page if you are bored though! See ya!

Hey people! Well it is a very nice day out indeed. Unfortunatley, I have no plans this evening. I tried to have plans last night, but they were stormed out of ann arbor. It sucked. So now it is a beautiful day, it will probably be a wonderful night--- but I have nothing to do. It wouldn't be so bad if it was shitty out! The Rock City band only made 2 recordings this week. I was distracted by social gatherings. I am still without a decent computer, and I am still devastated by the conclusion of the Bachaelor 16! Tomorrow is the night of the show, please come! I don't know how to get people to come..... I'll tell you the truth... I don't care for most of my old friends. I don't even invite them. They always act like they got something better to do anyways! Yes I am in a bad mood. I am no sure why though! Well maybe it's because I have to use this crappy computer at my moms, I no longer have a place to chill at my moms. All the sudden, after I spend 3 DAYS being

Hello people! Well it was a very busy weekend indeed! Most of Saturday was spent tearing out carpet at my moms and moving crap out of two rooms. Then on Sunday, I continued that and took a 4 hour break so I could have practice with that raggedy group of social misfits, The Bad Mics! They have a show this Saturday at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, are you coming? Well this week has all been about sacrifices for the family; my sister broke her 2nd laptop in a year, and I so kindly let her borrow mine. (She is in college). So now it looks like looking up nude pictures of lindsay lohan and re-watching naked scenes with Amanda Seyfried is out for the rest of this week! The only way I can update my blog is if I make a visit to my mom's, I am over there right now. At least she has real coffee though. I am such a cheapskate I have been drinking instant coffee!!!!!! Well I know all of you have been wondering about the activities of the Rock City Band. They did get together yesterday, they

disaster!

Hey People! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!  Well the Rock City Band was so busy this week! The studio is such a mess, the house was a disaster, but I cleaned it. I also broke down and did a load of laundry, the clothes are in the dryer. It is unfortunate but the Rock City band will have to resume recording on Monday. The good news is that I will be allowed to use tomorrow as a social gathering day with a few of my friends! Last night that flaky Rock City Band guitar player pissed me off. He was playing his guitar with a beer bottle-- very unprofessional indeed!!! I bitched to him about it, and he gave me some baloney story about how he had the revelation that he finally wanted to combine two of his "life's passions" into one thing--- meaning drinking. Attitudes like that NEED TO STOP. Before you know it, the keyboard player will be masterbating himself while playing the with the group. I get very impatient with the Rock City Band, but recording gives me

Sense Lacking!

Hello people! Well tonight I am heading out to see a movie with one of my good friends! We are heading to Adrain Rock City! It is a shame, the Rock City band didn't get together yesterday or 2day. Don't worry, I'll be rehearsing with the Bad Mics 2morrow, I can't wait! I finally got my secret weapon back on Thursday, it is awesome. I am not disclosing what it is, but I have to say that it is a MUSICAL weapon, I don't need people taking what I post too seriously! The other day I made a bad mistake of posting something that wasn't serious, it was a joke, but it wasn't something I should joke about! That was very insensitive of me, and sense lacking. I could blame my associate, Zach Mortimer, for encouraging me, but I do need to take responsibility. I thought it was very funny at the time, but posting stuff like that has the potential to get the police involved and crap! I am very sorry indeed people! But.... on a brighter note, more people did listen to the

dirty laundry

Well people, I am sorry if I offended or worried anyone with my post last night. I was drunk, I deleted it, it was really a joke. I thought it would be funny, but now I realize that is something I probably shouldn't joke about!
