10:42 am [prsean]	Snootch the Nootch, boys! Hey all, i thought i'd post here for the first time in my LJ lifespan. Im just kinda curious when salmon is gonna get together for a jam. I belive we've done it as a full "band" only once. So i guess the basic line-up is Jacob on vocals on guitar and vocals, Sean (that's be me) on bass and slight vocals, Michael on keyboard (and vocals i would suppose) and Tracyman on drums. Let's not keep in static roles though. I mean like lets switch up on some instruments and vocalities. I do enjoy guitar so much, although im better on bass. I just found a philosophy that goes like this; Screw keys and play what sounds good and interesting. It keeps things fresh and breaks out of a mold that songs that are in the same key would be in normally. Try different time signatures other than 4:4. I hear 11:16 is a fun one. But lets work up to that. In other news, in lieu of the sort of break-up of the Bread Machine, it looks as though im a member of 4 bands (Salmon, The Curry/Jon/Sean Project, The Stoneheadz (gah horrible name) and Blue Shaped Sphere.) Im not sure if im in Blue or not since Tracy wont tell me anything about the band or send me any form of sound file due to the fact that he hates everything he creates(mostly). I'll just wait i suppose. The one with Curry and Jonathan is gonna be a more experimental alternative thing. Me and Jonathan are drawn into bands with one another in them because of our love of 90's alternative, 60's/70's classic rock and of course, The Pixies. (ALL HAIL FRANK BLACK!) The Bread Machine was a jam band. I love "jam music", but i suppose Ben just didnt have the vision i wanted. He wanted to fit into the little stereotype of how those bands are supposed to be, while me and Jonathan wanted to break new ground. I suppose i can credit Ben with getting me to play guitar and bass (its funny, really check this out; Ben said, a bit regretfully, that if it wasnt for Limp Bizkit(:P) and korn (:<), he'd never ever picked up a guitar.) So the Stoneheadz line-up is this; Mike Reynolds, bass. Matt Reynolds, 1st guitar, vocals. Ben Hartley (the one and only), 2nd guitar. Pickle, drums (although he may quit), and me on bass, guitar, bongos and tamborine and anything else left in one place for too long as well as vocals. Oh yeah. im 15 goddammit. took a whole shite'ing year. Bout damn time. hell. no thanks to you. Ass.

8:21 pm [yacob]	Behold America...The First Ever Salmon Tabs This song sounds good either with meandering acoustic or sober electric. This was the first song I ever set to music. I have about seven songs with lyrics and music at this point in time. Worship now: You Can Never Go Back Home Intro: Same as Chorus (no words) D A C G Popular culture killed my dog Stop the world, I want to get off Darkness won't engulf my head How I hate the night *Chorus: D A C You can never go back home G D (Never go back home) D A C G D You can never go back home (repeat) D A I'm reaching for my day-old coffee C G But I cannot find it D A It must be buried underneath C G Europa's icy crust D A Whoah, hey, there it is C G Underneath my brake pedal D A Oh, well, whoops, dang C G It never worked well anyway *Chorus There's a man in a wheelchair On the side of the road Oh, how I envy him Casting his fishing line at all the tires and loads Oh, well, whoops, dang He never worked well anyway *Chorus Now I'm speeding through the Cosmos Halfway to Taco Bell Where I'll have my 1.3 children And find out if dirt burns Oh, well, whoops, dang I never worked well anyway *Chorus Song interperatatatatations are most welcome.

6:09 pm [yacob]	Ladies and gentlemen, do not be alarmed. What you are about to see is real. The Well, the past two days (Saturday and Sunday) have been rather successful. On Sat. Night I slipped down to Crow’s house where we jammed a bit on electric guitar and drums. I tried to sing above the noise, but, alas, my voice could not be heard above the din. We mainly did a few songs by They Might Be Giants, Weezer, and some original stuff too. As soon as I finished breakfast the following morning, I proceeded into the drum room and played my acoustic guitar a bit while singing. I thought I might have an audience in the adjacent room, but Crow was showering and his mother had temporarily disappeared to some faraway galaxy. Then I played my guitar and sang in Crow’s room for a bit, while he pretended to sleep with his eyes open. Then came the magical escapade to the place known as East Pointe (Pointy!) Baptist (Fascist) Church. This is the place where Crow is forced to traverse to on the first day of every week, and, sadly, I to had to make that pilgrimmage as well. The entire time I was in the church, I kept but two things in my head: “See no, hear no, speak no.” and “Just try not to get lynched.” So we went to the preppy school of the Day of the Sun and sat through some people telling us to go prostelyze and ignore the personal religious beliefs of others. Then we went to the Sermon. The title of the sermon was “Altars Aflame-Hearts Aflame”. Need I say more? The pastor begged us to turn away from our television sets and computers and internets, and to go to the eternal almighty allholy omnipotent powerful big fat one and only true so screw your religions GOD. It took one of the sheets from somewhere and wrote this on it: “Do yoo mind if I philosophize and blaspheme a bit?” I then handed it to Crow, who wrote: “Please do.” This is what I wrote, and Crow said he wholeheartedly agreed with me: “I do in fact believe in God/gods, but one so different so as not to be recognizable as the typical God. My god is not in some faraway dimension, in the sky, or even in this building. My god is outside, in the place where life is. My god is life. In my personal religion, there is nothing to be saved from. Good and evil are controlled by the gods, neither is better than the other, and they are in balance. If there is an afterlife, I believe that it is not much different from life. People who want to make it Hell will make it Hell for themselves. People who want to make it heaven will make it heaven. Doubt still exists in the afterlife, and it has its own relevant religions too. Be not moral, be good. Live and let live.” I also drew a picture of a platypus with a halo, a robe, and glowing eyes and wrote underneath it “Why should God look like a man?” I did all of this in a Baptist church, mind you. While the sermon was going on. Am I Satan? “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” My god has not forsaken me, and neither has yours. Then we went back to Crow’s house and listened to They Might Be Giants and played some electric guitar and then went to Arby’s and saw Preston and...and... I would like to perform. Crow’s drum skills, piano skills, and vocal skills have gotten much better since last I saw him. Sean has the uncanny ability to improvise a bass melody for any tune, and Michael....Michael....we’ll find something for him to do. He can sing back-up. If we ever get a gig, our show will most likely consist of covers of They Might Be Giants, Weezer, R.E.M., Radiohead, and several original songs that would be highly offensive to anyone who is not a Satanist or an earwig. Actually, Satanists probably wouldn’t like them either. Well, chow everybody. I wanna get a t-shirt that says “Kill Rock Stars”.

11:47 am [tl_crow]	It's like you fed me sunshine! Crow here! I noticed a lackluster amount of posting on this community, and since I'm the drummer of the band, I decieded to help things out a bit. Here's a song I wrote called "Those Arabian Knights". Those Arabian Kights By TL Crow Chorus: Pale Moonlight Dark Desert All things seem right The stage is Now set That treasure's in sight! Cue the camel Head out in the night We'll get back What we've lost To those Arabian Knights! *Well, Ali Baba, Yeah, He rides a high horse He's got all of our loot Cause he's the king of thieves Of course *But we'll show him, yeah We'll knock him off that horse (Well actually he rides a camel..) That's beside the point! (of course!) ** Eye for an eye Till you cannot cry **Yeah, the desert's rough If you can't cope, that's tough This is the Arabian Life! Chorus: Pale Moonlight Dark Desert All things seem right The stage is Now set That treasure's in sight! Cue the camel Head out in the night We'll get back What we've lost To those Arabian Knights! Go Camel, Go! *We surrounded Ali's troops, yeah and demanded our loot Threatened him with pointy swords And lots of lawsuits *But Ali just grinned, yeah, and said what was true Lawyers don't exist yet So there's only one thing to do **Eye for an eye Till you cannot cry **Yeah, the desert's rough If you can't cope, that's tough This is the Arabian Life! Chorus: Pale Moonlight Dark Desert All things seem right The stage is Now set That treasure's in sight! Cue the camel Head out in the night We'll get back What we've lost To those Arabian Knights! *Well your probably wondering Who won that fight That epic brawl for it all On that Arabian Night *Well, you idiot, you should know, It was Ali He's in the history books, And we're here fictionally Oh yeah! Chorus: Pale Moonlight Dark Desert All things seem right The stage is Now set That treasure's in sight! Cue the camel Head out in the night We'll get back What we've lost To those Arabian Knights!

8:45 pm [yacob]	Um, Hello... I am Jacob, singer, guitarist, and so on, for the band that this community exists for. I intend to use this site to post band news, updates, concerts, lyrics, and links concerning Salmon. As yet, we are still a fairly local band, but I am doing what I can to raise interest. But people might find it interesting to watch the evolution of a band. This is the only Salmon portal on the net thus far, but should that change, I will make it known. Now, I need to go rustle up some interest! I've already been plugging away at the TMBG community...I wonder if I should stop....?
