Football, the Grammys, & Lemmy.

Been awhile since I’ve posted anything on here.  First off, I haven’t been feeling very inspired lately because I’ve just been busy with football wrapping up, a blizzard, working when I can, and joining Trappers band.  There’s so much to mention and I don’t want to forget any important details.  In joining Trappers band we played 6 shows in 2 weeks which brought us to Minnesota and various cities in Wisconsin.  The shows went great and we have some serious long lasting friendships building in the band and of course outside of it.  We’ve been playing a bunch of new songs live that we will be recording at the beginning of summer for a new record on Good Land which we couldn’t be more excited about.  Also, I’ve been singing backing vox for the first time and they seem to be working out which shocks the hell out of me.

This blizzard mentioned earlier was one of the craziest I’ve ever been in.  Guess we were 2 inches shy of tying the great blizzard of Milwaukee in 1947.  The whole city pretty much shut down except for my work which is kind of silly.  No snow day for me.  That weekend was Super Bowl XLV that the Packers won obviously because this post is so after the fact.  It feels great to be World Champs again and to have the Lombardi trophy come back to Wisconsin where it belongs!  Hopefully NFL football happens next year on schedule due to all this craziness the owners are trying to pull.  To make light of the situation the boys and I had a Tecmo Bowl tournament tonight at Trappers and it was a knock down drag out war!  It was so much fun that we’re going to make it a bi-weekly event.

How fucking god awful were the Grammys?  The only thing that saved it for me was that performance with Mumford, Avett Bros, and Dylan.  That was seriously badass!  Too bad the rest of it was pretty much unwatchable.  Kinda cool the Black Keys got some wins though.  Still think Justin Bieber should’ve won best new artist instead of whats her name?   The whole thing is bullshit anyways, whatever.

I’m going to see some cool shows coming up.  Tomorrow’s Motorhead, this weekend’s the Paul Collins Beat, next Friday’s Ben Kweller and March 3rd in Chicago is the Pogues at the Congress Theatre!  If you haven’t seen the movie Lemmy do yourself a favor and watch it right now.  The guy is so genuine and he’s a rock n roll hero.

Thanks for reading if you got this far.
