Dear AT--

How can I too make with significant ladies?

Thanks,
John d'Uberville

'lil Dub--

First you must realize that the ladies don't care for musicians.
Have you considered MATHEMATICS? Significant womens--and by this I mean achetypal womens of NOTE! (not scruba-types)--have warm love of digits and figures. Lay out some jive in this manner:

You: Woman, have I mentioned yet this differential equation to you?
Woman: No. Please, tell me more.
You: Euler's Equation is most beautiful like you are. Please, I have a car.

Dearest AT--

I have lost the feeling in my appendexes! Help. Wire money to my bank account! Also, when will my mother love me again!

Love

Parson,

Perhaps it is cold and you need to put your shirt back on.
Also, what can cause coldness is bulletts of a tank. Blood loss=cold. Injustice is the new cool. Wear a POLO. And an FSU hoodie.

Is your finger pink? That is a sign. My mother always recommended finding someone to love. A picture of my parents:

DEAT AT--

I am looking for someplace nice to take my wife and children this weekend. I plan on leaving them and running away to Canada. Any suggestions?

Your,

Signs of the End of the World

Folks and Americans:

The humble little fops of Audubon Park have an upcoming show. Next week--Tuesday the 8th--we will be playing at the Local 506 with Rogue Wave and Two Gallants.

The show starts at 9PM. This a a FOR REAL show time as the bands are real bands on lable that have paperwork and what not when they tour. We may/probably will be first so don't show up late--looking all cool in your new velour shirt with the honeys and the ladies--and miss us and say, "Dude, you started early. I would have come early if I had thought you were serving seriousness about starting at 9 of the clock." I know it is a lie because the honeys and the ladies don't even get off work at the Waffle House in Graham until 9pm and you still have to drive back--assuming they have done their facial cleaning and lip preparing. So already I know if you come with ladies and honeys that you have no interest in us. Perhaps you are just coming to see the popular band that we are opening up for on a Tuesday night. Have you thought of those lies? I didn't think so.

Brush your teeth son. You have much to learn before you can fool AP

Be on the look out for future AP shows.

What it takes to get things done around here

After receiving 23 emails under one subject line (which actually had something to do with a totally different show than the one we are playing on 2/8) and not having anything answered, these are the drastic measures I was compelled to take.

Everyone nicely responded within 24 hours.
=============
Finn has mentioned a Monday practice more than one time (for example he did
it back when we thought 2/8 was Lou Barlow). I can't do that night, but I
can't do any night before 2/8 anyway so maybe the rest of you can get
together? And I would like it if we could do a moderately lengthy sound
check to sneak in practicing, which Finn can't do.

Proposed:
1. Those who are available Monday, practice Monday.
2. Those who are available early Tuesday, show up early Tuesday.
Presuming the Nahm is in both camps, natch.

Rules of reply:
0. You should actually weigh in on both points.
1. You may not post more crazy-ass url's until you have weighed in. Once
you have, you are free to post.
2. You may not comment on someone else's crazy-ass url once they have
weighed in if you yourself have not weighed in. You may not even
acknowledge it.
3. If you have weighed in and someone who has not weighed in posts a
crazy-ass url, you are obligated to reply "The link's not working, LOL.
BTW, what do you think about those proposals? TTFN. GILF."
4. If you have weighed in and someone else who has not weighed in posts a
REPLY to a crazy-ass url post, you are obligated to question whether that is
that big a deal, but then decide it is and resend this email with > <
framing this line. An example appears below:
> 4. If you have weighed in and someone else who has not weighed in posts a
REPLY to a crazy-ass url post, you are obligated to question whether that is
that big a deal, but then decide it is and resend this email with > <
framing this line. <
5. "Meta-comments," or commenting on the actual process, is SEVERELY
PROHIBITED. Well, frowned upon anyway. Is it as funny as you think?
Probably not, and then where would we be?

If we are unable to follow this protocol, two of you will not get your
sundaes, while the other two will have nuts on their sundaes but will be
allergic to nuts.

Word is bond,

Matt

Finally

All praise be to the baby Jesus, I finally got my sorry ass squared away as a sure-enough member of this blog, ready and able to post as the individual I have always believed I am.

DON'T FORGET THE CRUE

For 2005, the Hackeysac Crue has much love to offer.
Firstly, the following live appearance:
Jan 14, 2005
Nightlight (not an MC Nappropriate-approved venue, but a sufficient cause to warrant his appearance)
Chuck Johnson's birthday party, with Boyzone and whoever brings records to DJ (this means the people).

Secondly, espousing the benefits of alcohol, premarital sex (sometimes with your mom), and "The Best of Saturday Night Live: Will Ferrell".

yours,
Nappropriate

In with the Newish

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

This year brings "exciting" new possibilities and promises. Most of which won't come to fruition! Here's what 2005 holds in store for you. Let's stop the dancing and get to the goodies:

AUDUBON PARK:

ONE) Our next EP--The Bunny Is Not As Popular As Julius--will be released this month on Baptistic Prant Records. The tracks are as follows:

1) The Death of Baseball
2) Sunbathers
3) April in Kentucky
4) Pleasant Hill
5) ESP Terratory

The EP was recorded last year by Nick and features strings!

Second, AP will also present "THE BLUE ALBUM: For Adults Only--Not For Radio Airplay"--our first comedy album--and by comedy we mean excessive cursing and insults. It won't be sold in stores and will not be available at shows.

Third: we will be going into the studio to record a track for the next Compulation: Compulation II! If all works out and everything is cool it will be good.

FOUR!!! We are going to begin recording our first full length album. It is called "Winter Gala." We have lots of songs so it may have lots of songs on it. We will have to see.

Also we may go on a short tour or at least play in Raleigh.


THE NEIN

The Nein are finishing up their debut album for Sonic Unyon. Having hear bits of it I can say it is going to be pretty good--that is unless Andy Wallace gets brought in to mix it so it is more "accessable."

The record doesn't have a name I assume, so make some suggestions.

Also, I think they are doing a seven inch maybe. Maybe a member of the Nein needs to get in here and edit this so it actually is true.


HOTEL MOTEL

Judah told me that Hot-Mot are recording a third ep, a track for the Compulation also and are people who wear clothes. Word is also that Peter Gabriel is joining the band.


ERIE CHOIR

EC has procured new members, is also recording a track for the aforementioned Compulation II and hopefully will be signed to a major lable's boutique subisidiary soon. And a tour with the Counting Crows. ZAP!

TROPIC OF FOOD GENERALLY

Well, for a new year it seems like we should do something with the website, but we don't really have much control over it, and I like the way it looks so bite it! But maybe we will set it up so that everyone has their own log in name rather than everyone using the same one.

More as we make more up.
