| 01/05/04- Wow! It's so lame that I haven't made a journal entry for like 2 months, but hey Finals and Holidays, give us a break OK. Its not like we're getting paid or anything! Hope everyone's holidays were splendid. We will probably be starting to do open mike nights on saturdays at Brixx pizza on 6th street so I hope ya'll can come support us. Also we have beachstock 2 coming in may, happy new year!!! |
| 01/21/14- hey so this is cool, we are practicing again, and rydogg and rey rey are swimming on an almost daily basis. we got some phat new songs. If you hadn't heard Kate and I broke up, not a bad break up, we are still like best friends and I love her so much. But that doesn't mean I can't write general break up love songs not specifically directed at Kate. Just kidding. Dave says true things are often said in jest...but what does he know-- ooooh look at my bible knowledge, im sooooo important, shut up! No but seriously, life is good and so is Jaxnot, we are not sure what will become of our uncommitted bassist and drummer and Jack is now officially not committed still. JS>"when i'm married I'll have more free time and no school then I can be committed." LIES, LIES AND TREACHERY. |
| 02/03/04- Good news, we Now have a committed drummer who wants to practice like every day. His name is Graham and he is from Connecticut, his dad is a professional drummer and Grahm has definitely got some game. He plays Rugby with RyDoGG, that is how we met. Oh yeah and Mean Green Rugby is now 2-0 after downing Western Carolina 19-10. 1st game we beat UNC-Greensboro 50-5 (ouch). Anyhoo, we are working on several different songs and writing out lyrics, chris is jamming some new riffs and Graham is deciphering the beats. I am sure the finished product will be much fun. I think what is going to happen with our bassist is that it will be our old drummer Matt Stover. He said he was cool and we all love Trams but we know that this semester is mad busy with his photography class. Stove Top got game on the bass, I mean serious game, like sick nasty. Shout out to all Beachstock fans!!! :) |
| 02/05/04-Yesterday we had a great practice. Reed (this guy in my class) came over and jammed on the guitar with us and we played a lot of fun studd, and then he got on the drums, he is good. So now we have like 3 people that can drum, but Graham is the exclusive drummer, we're hoping Reed will hang with is and be one of our guitarists. We'll see. Hopefully Stover is going to apply his Flash knowledge soon and make a phat less corny site, maybe in a few weeks, we'll see. At any rate, we have some fun new tunes and if Reed works out we may be a 5 piece band. Much love to all, come play XBOX with me. And don't wiss UNCC vs. Davidson rugby on saturday at 1:00. peace. |
| 03/01/04- Yay! We don't suck anymore! Stover has definately added a tight dynamic to the sound of the band. We have a couple of cool new songs. Zultan King of Avalon, Goodbye,and a lot better version of Downtown Moon. Rydogg is working on his style. Grahm is adding tight drums to everything. Chris is writing again. And Stover is trying not to tell us about his other, much better band. Beachstock here we come. |
| 03/03/04- So yesterday's practice was awesome. it is a new era in the history of jaxnot. Things just really clicked yesterday and we recorded (on a tape recorder) 5 songs. we are planning to make a CD in april and some phat bumper stickers, we need someone like stover to make a logo though RyDoGG had some attempts. Anyway we are very happy and getting hooked up with some studios and stuff hopefully. Spring break is like here so its 2 weeks of no band, we will reconveine hopefully on the 14th after church at B. Jones' place to record some more. Check out the lyrics section, tight yo. |
| 03/25/04- OK, so its been way too long since I have made an entry here. We recorded a rough tape with 7 songs on it including 5 of the 6 in the lyrics section (blinded...we'll work on that later) and 2 new ones called "The Living Dead" and "Spring break Blues". We are so glad spring is here but it makes it harder to focus on school for ADHD Chris and Ryan:) We are playing on the 29th of May at 2:00 at Virginia Beach go to the opening page to click on the info about beachstock, it tells you exactly where and how much and stuff. Jaxnot is recording on sunday at Brian Jones' place in the hood, hopefully that will turn out well and we are planning on cutting a quality CD in April sometime. We're also working on our logo, I like my idea we'll get Stover to make it psychadelic. Support your local congressman.- RyDoGG |
| 04/21/04- I know what you're thinkin, but we'll have none of that here, keep it to yourself. Anyway, we practiced yesterday and that went muy bueno. We change "the Boy I used to Know" from a crappy soft song into a fun punk song. We know have 8 originals (keep in mind, we've all been together since january and we have busy lives), not including downtown moon or blinded, though we may steal from DM and we might use the lyrics from blinded in something else. Basically its the last two weeks of school, we all gots to make good grades on our papers and such, after that is is practice the days away for beachstock and work at Dominos for RyDoGG. Oh yeah and Joel is now our understudy bassist (what's with bassists?). I Love all of you. |
