Have been playing a bit of Amperzahn stuff on the acoustic lately, even video’d a song for you guys. In my pyjamas. Because when you are a grown-up you can do whatever the hell you want. The pyjamas pants with skulls on were a present from my sister Michelle (the other Michelle) to my boyfriend (this does make more sense if I told the whole story, but I won’t) and I STOLE them for myself muh huh huh haaa! And rather irrelevantly, not only do Plum Green and I have THE SAME FAVOURITE MONKEY OMG (cotton top tamarin) but we also BOTH WEAR PYJAMA PANTS WITH SKULLS ON THEM OMG! I think we might be twins separated at birth.
I am right now, this very second, at a place called ‘Meal Station’. Not in my pyjamas, I recorded the video yesterday actually. Meal Station is a place I honestly really dislike eating. They routinely stuff up my order, and not just in the didn’t understand what I ordered kind of way, but in the completely lost the order form I’d filled out kinda way, or they made my dinner then left it sitting in the kitchen for half an hour till it went cold and I started nagging for it kinda way. The only reason I come here is its the cheapest place I know that has wifi. I can get a nasi lemak and coffee for way less than the price of a coffee from star bucks. And added bonus I can spy on the fish people as they walk past and if I’m really lucky, maybe even have lunch with my own pet fish person Matt. So here I am, with my nasi lemak, my coffee ais and Mr Macbook, redownloading the bits I’d missed from Nosferatu so that I can finish putting it together for the special people on the mailing list. I’m sorry it’s taking so long. Really it’s not my fault. I blame the government. And aliens.
I made an amazing discovery this week. Sambal (some kind of malaysian food of the chilli paste variety) is very good on toast. Much better than vegimite, marmite, peanut butter, nuttella, jam, or any of the other toast topping I usually avoid like the plague. For years I’ve been eating plain marge on my toast because I hate most spreads, but now my life is complete.
In other news about me and my life and such important things, I have band practice tonight with Moe’s band The Velvet Aces. Gosh, Auckland peoples, do you remember how hard I was on people without transport or good gear who wanted to be in my band? Now I’m one of those persons myself. With no car, and no amp, begging for rides and catching the train and stuff.
And and and Amperzahn. If you don’t know Amperzahn, check out www.myspace.com/amperzahn I think the site is still up. I’m thinking re-union show next time I visit NZ. When sorting out junk on computer I’ve been watching the vids from our last reunion show and it looks like so much fun *squeee!* If you run into Michelle Klaessens, Tory Staples, Joshua Smyth and or Josh’s stunt double Anthony Corban, tell them to start practicing the Amperzahn tunes!
Well, now my download is finished, I can get on with stuff yeah? Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Bye bye!
Nice one! So when will you be coming back then eh?
I had a nostalgic play of Amperzahn stuff last week in the recording studio… on my old out of tune piano just before we moved house and had no internet for a while there. Internet is working now, but still no luck getting hold of you on skype. The internet hates me
When is the best time to contact you?
