When need descends...
Plastic bags for plastic friends.
Back home in Los Angeles. Really good to be back. Saw "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". Liked it, as I am predisposed to, being a Wes Anderson film, but that said, it's not my favorite one, either. Totally worth seeing, though. Also saw "Meet the Fockers" - was pretty funny, Dustin Hoffman stole the whole movie, easily. RESPEK. And just finished watched "Dawn of the Dead" - now this movie kicks ass. Horror movies usually have a 97% suck possibilitiy, but this one was just about perfect - scary, quick, believable and well acted.
Saw that someone has already done the complete tablature version of our song "Bloody Mary" and posted it here. Really unbelievable. Well done.
I had some inspiration while down in the OC for Christmas, so I scribbled in my sketchbook, and when we were driving around going to movies, I typed ideas into my phone so I wouldn't forget them. All "Project P" stuff. Got alot done, actually. It was cool being away from a guitar, it forced me to work only on the words, and the outline of the ideas, as opposed to singing them through and potentially getting hung up on the sound of the song. I look forward to getting these new lyrics into the next song. I am very impatient to finish this thing, but I know that that won't help get it done. the ideas will come when they want, the songs will come when they want, the best I can do is to keep open and available. I am trying to get it not "COMPLETE" complete, just finished in the sense that I can play the whole thing on acoustic from beginning to end, from there it is ready to add, subtract, re-write, whatever, but I don't want to get into the whole "edit" process until the "create" process has run its initial course.
Have been listening a lot to the last two David Cross (from Mr. Show) records, "Shut up you fucking baby", and "It's not funny". He is the funniest guy on the planet for me at the moment.

Steve,
Enjoy the creative flow, that you have been on for quite some time. Between TPC, rehearsing, recording, etc.., and the "P" Project, you are on it. I am looking forward to hearing the fruits of your labor.
Cheers,
Mike C. (FLA)

Believe it or not, I just saw the video for the first time. Although I was there at the time, you really get a great appreciation for the event when viewing it on film. What a monstrous, magical, exceptional, and funky evening. Not only did I meet people and make friends, but I saw the birth of a band. Can't really put into words how fortunate I feel to have been there. God, what a voice. Man, I can't wait for 2005. I haven't been this excited about a band since I was waiting for "Presence" to be released. And that was a long time ago :)

Steve great work. 'Mary' video is incredible, can't wait for more...I wasn't terribly familiar with your singing outside of what has been posted at TPC and 6767, but you have "pipes", wow. I think the vibe is that people are blown away by that song. Congrats.

Steve, great song!! I just want to say that I really appreciate(as do many others, I'm sure) the interaction you guys are having with the fans and letting us join you every step of the way. This is pretty exciting to see some established musicians start a whole new thing and let us see what goes on. I wish you the very best of luck and I will buy whatever you guys put out, and come see the shows and support you as much as a fan can. I'm sure you see some of the negative fat-asses saying the usual bullshit, but that song has some great changes, high energy and you sound really great on this track. I can't wait for the rest...
