It's amazing to me that we have a fan that I don't know personally. But it's true! I met several at our 2nd to last show.<br />
<br />
Not only do they attend under-heralded venues and non-publicized shows, but they request manuscripts of our amazing works past!<br />
<br />
This is, by my count, the 4th request for such chord and lyrical documentation work -- and I'm sure there's countless dozens out there that would also benefit from such an endeavor -- so fuck it. It's only been 6 months since that gig at Parkside Lounge -- let's get started on the Muscular Christian Songbook.<br />
<br />
Here's the first entry...off the virgin album: Dan Marino: Important Message<br />

(The #1 Rated Podcast on iTunes)) and in our kickoff premiere dry-run there's an exciting new recipe that we simply couldn't wait <strike> for Tim to figure out how to upload a simple audio file </strike> to tell you about.<br /><br /><br />While we were off and running with a short junk food section titled, "What junk food does Guy have on his counter right now?"....much to our surprise, it came to light that our friend Guy also stores many fresh foods at the ready in his fridge.<br /><br />Brussel sprouts? Check. Apples? Check again. Some steak w/ veg that he cooked last night? Not sure if that counts. Tomatoes? Oh fuck yeah bitch!<br /><br />Which led directly and seamlessly into Guy's recipe of the week: Cold Old Sliced Tomato<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />Tomato<br />Salt<br /><br />Buy fresh, red tomatoes from your local grocer.<br />Store in fridge for several days, up to 10 days depending on ripeness.<br />Slice the Tomato pole-to-pole with a dull, unsharp knife<br /><br />Season to taste with salt<br /><br />For more recipes that deal with fresh food from the fridges of our closest and dearest friends, stay tuned to this blog and our upcoming podcast: You Downloaded It!

I figured there would be no time left over for daydreaming, much less the time to carry out those ideas and produce some actual media content.<br /><br />Also, I was worried about the old softening of the heart that comes with raising a little bundle of joy, and the subsequent cooling off of any angst, bitterness, or mild oppression that is normally required for my brain to create the mind-blowing type of creative products that I've <strike>become known for</strike> pasted on this blog.<br /><br />This morning, in a small way, I may have cleared a mental hurdle. I woke with the idea to create the following video. More importantly, I accomplished the entire thing with a slumbering little girl on my lap (in addition to slumbering, there was a brief period of sharting and shitting (by my daughter, not me) which required a diaper change, which triggered more shitting once she was naked, which then led to a brand new pile of shitted-all-over clothes and towels and changing pad covers. Fatherhood is weird like that.)<br /><br />enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjNzStTT88Q"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzvF7WmyYd9_TYDAyygQJz1m9pOpxY5HvcPxsS0QHN51z1C_WjN6iRhcgJG8PQVTfTjl9k6NFfr_PCMUuZIfA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnHQKPiqHJs"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>also here on youtube!</a><br /><br />**please note - that is not me pictured. nor is that my baby. although it definitely would've looked just as nerdy to anyone watchingNascar Suckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513126612892456666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139769377588440127.post-9202849702652682372009-06-26T02:00:00.012-04:002009-06-30T01:47:12.570-04:00Isabella...please<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/SkRnnqDAHyI/AAAAAAAAAPE/SLv9FcIr4oQ/s1600-h/11ae5ab72ef.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/SkRnnqDAHyI/AAAAAAAAAPE/SLv9FcIr4oQ/s320/11ae5ab72ef.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351516188222431010" border="0" /></a>This post comes to you from a place of pure innocence. The snatcher wrote a song, and I listened. It was a pretty song, but there was a filthy underbelly. <a href="http://music.muscularchristians.com/Isabella.aif">Here's the earliest version</a><br /><br />Before researching the subject, I knew basically nothing. You may think of me as the Dark Lord of Evil...but this is Francis' song after all...and I never really got into that weird soft porn swingers shit or whatever that lesbian real sex show was.<br /><br />I thought about it for 10 seconds, and then google searched the following:<br />Isabella HBO.<br /><br />The above search yielded confusing results -- damn you google search preferences reverting to safe search after I clear my history!<br /><br />But after doing an Isabella HBO Cat House search on youtube -- I was amazed to find lots of videos of some dude named <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V90EZaf48U0">Hof.</a><br /><br />Hof's seems to be either a porn-star wrangler and/or he owns the Bunny Ranch, and Hof had this to say about why he looked unfavorably on the fine lady named Isabella:<br /><blockquote> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">She did skank porn. And uh...I didn't like it. And she got a drug habit...</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">...So finally she got out of that business...and she's making more money now making orgnanic vegetables in Massachusettes.</span> </blockquote>So sad. By that, I mean that Hof is super sad about all this because the lady could've made some serious millions doing proper porn (or hooking). Bald Dude in a Short Sleeve Vinyl Purple Shirt wants us to know that this is the tale of what could have been. We had a burgeoning porn star on our hands, and, sadly, she turned to drugs when she seemingly had every thing going in her favor?<br /><br />What's the worst part about ending the fairy tale of making millions whilst ucking mother-uckers? The organic vegetables, obvo. This probably means a job at Whole Foods, but I'd rather imagine Isabella on her own quaint little farm tucked into a mountainside along a local highway leading North from Woo-stah -- where she sells apple cider and farm-fresh carrots to bright-eyed youths dressed in what could only be some sort of a sexy red-plaid and denim ensemble.Nascar Suckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513126612892456666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139769377588440127.post-32184897729753038652009-06-08T01:10:00.012-04:002009-06-08T02:15:37.870-04:00Woah Dude...Not Cool!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/Siym8lYjKZI/AAAAAAAAAO8/KYv8R1xr0r4/s1600-h/mel_gibson_drunk1_medium.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/Siym8lYjKZI/AAAAAAAAAO8/KYv8R1xr0r4/s320/mel_gibson_drunk1_medium.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344830417539377554" border="0" /></a>I try hard to not be a huge gaylord who googles himself all day long...and I try even harder to not let revealing information about this practice hit the airwaves...and yet...the following comments have earned a strong rebuke from me in the youtube world. They were made in response to our delightful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYU1gqrDP5c&feature=channel_page">Terrorist Song</a> video made by someone who goes by the youtube moniker of <a class="watch-comment-auth" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MUKAVAME" rel="nofollow">MUKAVAME</a> :<br /><br /><blockquote>Some facts:<br />Zionist Israel is evil 666<br />Zionist US-PsychoCryptoJews nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki (The holocaust on Japan).<br />Zionist Israel666 did 9/11 and 7/7 (The holocaust on christian lands).<br />War On Terror is a war for Israel's SATANIC EMPIRE (The holocaust on islamic lands).<br />We are ALL paying taxes for Israel's global terrorist war-crimes.<br />Anti-Zionism isnt Anti-Semitism.<br />Zionist Israel666 is the scum of the earth & the base of ALL evil.<br />*** WE ARE WITH IRAN *** DOWN WITH ISRAEL666 ***<br /></blockquote>A bit all over the place, sure...there are some obvious points at which to take exception, and yet it would be a waste of everyone's time to do that in the commenting column.<br /><br />So...I did the only thing any decent human being would have done. I gave him a stern "thumbs down" on the youtube reply meter. Take that, Mukavame! How's it feel, bitch?! I feel like even writing his name/moniker down only serves to give him more power, but fuck it.<br /><br />The strangest question I came up with about his/her response was this...Does Mukavame like or hate this song? I could see it argued either way...feel free to participate in our fun time blog poll on right hand column...<br /><br />By the way, I happen to be as left wing liberal / libertarian as one could be when it comes to blog commenting moderation -- absolutely anything goes. You just have to hope and pray that your art hasn't opened up a portal to all things arYyan** or any other world that's as fucked up as that. What I mean to say is...Whoa dude! Not cool! Maybe lay off the drinking and commenting combination when it's real late at night...cause it's kind of revealing in an embarrassing not so compatible with basic society kind of a way.<br /><br />If things get so fucked up that you need to pay someone to start monitoring all of the shit that happens in the comments, then you have truly made it. It's almost as awesome as getting sued by the Dire Straits or Biz Markie for ripping off their songs...which, we have not done.

If the rough schematics drawn up below bear fruit, then the multi-venue killing machine we've been looking for may soon be at our fingertips. The next test will be pulling the trigger whilst staring down the barrel at a cute furry aquatic mammal....can you guess the one I have in mind?<br /><br />All artwork was accomplished by Gabe Gigliotta(sp?), or, it was possibly done by a group of youth-ish art students that he teaches. Either way, this is absolute-fuckingly not public domain, you greedy conniving content thieves! (Do not steal this shit and use it to form your own band named Scuba-Copter.

I bet you can never get rid of that type of red flag from the google. Raunchy-ness isn't the reason either, not by any means, and it's also not technically unsafe for work -- that said, I wouldn't play it until you've got friends or co-workers around who are clearly and proudly on the darker sense of humor side of things, (not that this is funny, man!) and they should be extraordinarily hard to offend. Way way way worse than teaching your daughter to pole dance or helping your son smoke some meth...is this -- the failure to realize that drawing up an ice cold bath in the midst of a house fire is one of the worst ideas ever.<br /><br />So far the reaction to this piece of artistic endeavor has been disgust.

I scoff, and in my most serious tone and expression, my standard answer of "we're halfway through recording our next album" convinces no one.

The song <a href="http://music.muscularchristians.com/Michael%20Jackson%202019%20%28live%29%201.mp3">Michael Jackson 2019</a> is about the day he returns to his California ranch after paying his debt to society. It was recorded at the 2005 Fisher Family Folk Festival in Iowa City. The festival was rained-out that summer and relocated from the Fisher family compound to the clubhouse/bar of a local 9-hole golf course. The sound of bored children and confused audience members is audible in this recording. Also, I fucked up the first line several times before getting it right and I think people were losing patience. Thanks to Bret "Cooter" Lanoue for recording. (note to editor: I received word last night that Cooter was seen yesterday at around 5pm on mushrooms wandering off to go see a San Francisco Giants nightgame all by himself wearing nothing but a T-shirt and shorts. It got down to 51 degrees last night.)<br /><br />(<span style="font-style: italic;">Ed.

It is an exceedingly rare number. It has been, as of yet, unreleased. It is also, perhaps obviously, performed only by me -- in a sort of one-take reckless abandon that would surely have been scorned upon had the recording been overseen by Young Tim Hatch. So it is, therefore, a thoroughly unsanctioned Muscular Christians song.<br /><br />I'm fairly confident that the intent of the writer here was not to illustrate that Johnny Cash is (or was) hash poor, it's more about his name rhyming with a particularly fun marijuana off-shoot. Not than anybody was going to scour over these lyrics looking for deeper meaning of some kind...but I'm just saying.<br /><br />Writing credit should be given to Bret "Cooter" Lanoue. In return, I should get proper credit for helping him start all those fires in the high school cafeteria, hallways and bathroom that got him sent away for a little while.<br /><br />Enjoy!<a href="http://www.muscularchristians.com/blog/Johnny%20Cash%20%28Ain%27t%20Got%20No%20Hash%29.mp3"></a><br /><br />*Written from a Buick 86Nascar Suckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513126612892456666noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139769377588440127.post-25350435272807466012008-06-06T02:18:00.000-04:002008-06-15T09:00:27.334-04:00I'm Not Gay Video on YouTube<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/SEjZph1ZWrI/AAAAAAAAAGU/LxXEpo1e_Uw/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__X3yzkY-jZc/SEjZph1ZWrI/AAAAAAAAAGU/LxXEpo1e_Uw/s320/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208652276534172338" border="0" /></a><br />There's no pressure in writing the first post. Nobody will ever read this. It was posted long ago, a twinkle in this young blogger's eye that will never be seen -- in fact, you would have to admit that you are kind of a horrendous loser for having sifted this far through the archives of what has most likely become a meaningless and empty blog that was long ago abandoned. Also, I love you. Please know that.<br /><br />Here's our <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=uW98ZUx5wzc">first youtube movie</a>. Tim "animated" the whole thing using a sharpie marker. Tim drew me much fatter and shorter than I appear in real life. I would also note that he drew himself slightly taller and thinner, relatively, than he appears in person. It is a psychosis that we don't have time to get into at this point in our young blog's life. Please enjoy the video.Nascar Suckshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513126612892456666noreply@blogger.com2
