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.

MY FAVORITE TITLES IN THE MEDICAL BOOKSTORE

Hey, I work in a medical bookstore. These are actual titles of books we carry that I find humorous for whatever reason.

Maggot Therapy
Lameness in Horses
Analysis of Messy Data

OH! CANADA!

In honor of the Nein heading up to Canada to rock our friendly neighbors to the north, I thought I'd prepare a list of things I like about Canada.

Some Things I Like About Canada:

Canada was the first place I ever got drunk. My family(aunts, uncles, cousins, etc…) would go to Quebec to skiing every year after Christmas when I was young. One New Year’s Eve my Aunt gave me a glass of champagne to share with my cousins. I went off and downed it, then returned for more. After a few of these trips I was good to go. I walked outside on the ice and it was splendid.

Canada is the first place I ordered a beer. When I was 16, we were back in Quebec again. The drinking age was 18. I went into this place and ordered a beer. They gave it to me. It would be five years before this happened again.

The Kids in the Hall. They started showing this on HBO in the late 80’s. It kicked Saturday Night Live’s ass. Genius.

Neil Young. Duh.

Canadian Football. There’s like 8 teams and two of them are called the Rough Riders and one is called the Argonauts. They kick on third down.

John Candy. Seemed to embody all that is good with humanity.

Steve Nash. Rush. Strange Brew. Margaret Trudeau. Loverboy. Lots of great stuff.

Thanks Canada.

REAL LOVE.

Let's get to the point quick. The Country Bears is one the greatest films of all time. The Country Bears has taught the band so much about our (human) selves. I now pay late tribute to the film (and it's message) by copying a recent thread of A.P. emails regarding a new local band with a whole lotta nerve. Read on!

-----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------

Guys, there is a Chapel Hill band called

The Country Bears.  I saw a flier that said

"country bears" only and a website (www.bearsalive.com)

and when I went to it I found out.  I guess

we have to play with them.

-----------------------------------------

oh!  when i was hanging up nein posters the other

night, i saw a couple flyers that just said "what

is country bears?" so i hung up the nein right next

to that shit, b/c it was fate.

------------------------------------------

I'm listening to their mp3s right now. Not bad.

Kind of yelly punk rock maybe a little like Les

Savy Fav. Not great, but not bad either.

------------------------------------------

I just listened to their MP3s.  They should be

called the Dischord Records Bears.  Get the Bong

back together?!!?

------------------------------------------

still, i'd be willing to sue them on behalf of

the real bears.  you know ted won't stand for this,

and beary?  what would happen if beary showed up

expecting to see zed zoober and co.?  god damn if we

shouldn't have put together the country bears for

the great cover up and alienated everyone (including

ourselves) there.  can you imagine the costumes? 

damn it.

-------------------------------------------

You know, I bet Disney is going to be just fine suing

the shit out of them on their own.  What is even

better is to show up at this bands show in costume

and sit in the back of the club watching, never speaking

to anyone and then leave angrily.  Everytime they play.

-----------------------------------------

Duuuude!

------------------------------------------

Dude, we should get costumes together and show up at the

next Country Bears show and just stand at the back with

arms crossed.  I call human/bear identity conflicted

child hero.

-----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------





[And on a less personal note, I had a heck of a dream last night.  My

friend S. Crouton and I were recording a tribute to the Red Hot Chili

Peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," with Bono engineering.  Bono was

irritated because The Edge didn't show up for production on today's

"Breaking the Girl" and "Could Have Lied."  Only in dreams.  How's

that for trad bloggin'?]

Crappy songwriter rejoins old band; Guitar Center employees rejoice!

Founding Manifesto of Register the Cat

Manifesto of Register
1. The Great Register intends to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness, and poop.

2. Poop, courage, audacity, and revolt will be essential elements of The Great Register's poetry.

3. Up to now humans have exalted a pensive immobility, ecstasy, and sleep. The Great Register intends to exalt aggresive action, a feverish insomnia, the racer’s stride, the mortal leap, the punch and the slap.

4. The Great Register doth does shall affirm that the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of human slaves. The feline conquest of the weaker human species is more beautifuler than the Victory of Samothrace.

5. We want to hymn The Great Register, who hurls the lance of his spirit across the Earth, along the circle of its orbit.

6. The Great Register must spend himself with ardor, splendor, and generosity, to swell the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements.

7. Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Poetry must be conceived as a violent attack on unknown forces, to reduce and prostrate man before felines.


8. The Great Register stands on the last promontory of the centuries!... Why should he look back, when what he desires is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. The Great Register already lives in the absolute, because he hath created eternal, omnipresent speed.


9. We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, poop, and scorn for all mammals save the feline.


10. The Great Register will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, cedar-scented litter, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.


11. The Great Register will sing of great crowds excited by work, by pleasure, and by riot; he shall sing of the multicolored, polyphonic tides of revolution in the modern capitals; he shall sing of the vibrant nightly fervor of arsenals and shipyards blazing with violent electric moons; greedy railway stations that devour smoke-plumed serpents; factories hung on clouds by the crooked lines of their smoke; bridges that stride the rivers like giant gymnasts, flashing in the sun with a glitter of knives; adventurous steamers that sniff the horizon; deep-chested locomotives whose wheels paw the tracks like the hooves of enormous steel horses bridled by tubing; and the sleek flight of planes whose propellers chatter in the wind like banners and seem to cheer like an enthusiastic crowd. And the irresistible crinkle sound of a toy mouse.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREVIEW

2005 Audubon Park Registers

PG Majestic Nahm

Supernatural scorer with instinctive instincts ... A sparkplug for the Register lineup ... Does a good job at attacking the weak points in the defense, but occasionally tries to take the lane in too much traffic and thereafter runs into trouble and then fells really bad about it and apologizes profusely ... Plays far bigger than his size would indicate, but smaller than his entourage would suggest ... Can score from the standstill in heavy traffic, but not when left alone beneath the basket ... Also a terrific shooter from long-range, but not really ... Not a guy that should be left open off screens , or alone in the library...... A crafty passer and knitter... Collects a lot of steals and cassettes ... Plays with a lot of emotion, too much probably.

SG Finn Marley

A streaky shooter, and window cleaner ... Has terrific elevation, discipline and poise in his form, but not in his tone ... Much of the reason for his hot and cold tendencies lies in his bed, talking on the phone ... Possesses range that borders on unreal(unicorns, fairies, dragons, etc…), and he occasionally gets caught up in that ability ... Will take 3-pointers from well beyond the stripe, as well as below it ... Uses his outside shooting ability to create mid-range shots for himself, throwing pump fakes and small mammals to open up pull-up jumpers and cardigans ... Has solid finnishing ability when he gets deep in the groove, but is not an outstanding athlete ... Defense needs improvement.

SF World B. Biggers

Handcrafted with a premium East Indian rosewood back and sides and a bookmatched top of select quartersawn Sitka spruce… Its smaller 000 body size and short 24-9/10" scale help produce delicate, balanced tones. The rosette and soundboard are inlaid with herringbone wood marquetry, and the body is bound with grained ivoroid…. An ebony fingerboard features a long diamonds-and-squares pattern in abalone pearl… Signature is inlaid in mother-of-pearl between the 19th and 20th frets… Tastefully appointed with hand-beveled tortoise pickguard, nickel-plated open-geared machines equipped with unique butterbean knobs. ..Bears an interior label, individually numbered in sequence. Includes limited lifetime warranty and deluxe hardshell case.

PF Danny Binge

Brilliant shooter from just about anywhere but the court ... Wonderful aching jump shot ... Can go off the dribble with slow, loping, caustic, melancholy drives, freeing himself with a behind the back dribble or faked pass or tortured glance or whispered denunciation ... Easy... Once his feet are set, the ball is going somewhere ... Can hit out to 4 feet at this point, if he's open, he'll take it from anywhere ... Wants to initiate a five-man, ball-movement time signature, which often leaves him out of sync with his teammates ... Not a rebounder but a lover, he'll pull in a few during a contest through positioning(wink, wink), but he'll leak out on the break(is seeing a doctor) or get back on defense before he heads to the rim(thank you very much) ... Utilizes the backdoor cut. Still learning as a "defender", he'll get caught with his feet in "mud".

C Kalb Rambus

Algae that grow on the hair impart a greenish color to the coat with narrow white stripes running across the back and down the sides, a pattern that provides excellent camouflage in dense thickets …There is no tail…. It feeds almost exclusively on the leaves, buds, and stems of Cecropia, a tropical relative of the mulberry…. Moves sluggishly but can strike swiftly and powerfully if attacked. Horn shape seem to vary with habitat, which ranges from high grass savanna to equatorial forest... Grazes and drinks in the early morning and evening and rests during the heat of midday and at night… Can easily fend off a lion.
