Prep for this weeks episode of UP TO NO GOOD

Stoked for new episode of Up To No Good. When you guys get sued by rancid PLEASE let me start scoring your show.
In 2006, the incredibly short-lived instrumental band I started, Staristdeous, was selected to play the MACRoCk fest at JMU in VA. Today, while surfing Saxon Shore’s similar artists page on Last.fm, we were on there. Somehow two clicks later, I came across this podcast. The Drop was an amazing podcast done by Dan Portnoy. He covered music and events I actually liked. I listened to him before we met him at MACRoCk so it was killer to be interviewed by him- especially with Saxon Shore and Black Moth Super Rainbow. Here is the link to the actual podcast in iTunes (it is free)
I was 20 years old when this happened. I cannot believe it has been that long. I loved MACRoCk so it was an incredible honor to play. The problem when we got selected is that Staristdeous was really just me in my bedroom in my apartment with Brian. Two months after I got the acceptance call and the press junket, I had put together a band to make it happen. I used my Macbook Pro to play bass lines, additional guitar tracks and other random sounds and Anthony Evans played with headphones on. I have no idea how he did that. Brian played the other guitar and Ben played trumpet and piano.
This was forever ago. Brian and I are talking about recording an EP over Christmas, but instrumental music is hard to make alone. It tends to get boring.
This was a very Xanga-like Tumblr post. I blame it on my recent reading of my old Xanga posts.
