VIDEOS ARE SILLY

So these guys wanted to make a video for us. It's really weird making a video, and I'm all for never being in the fucking thing. I'd rather have a concept video, like the kind where you never see the band playing. At any rate, we wrote this song, and named it tattoo, way before the stupid shitty Van Halen song came out. That's neither here nor there I suppose. This song's about a relationshit, more than it is about tattoos. Here's the video....it is what it is I guess. 

The Difference Engine Tattoo 

On a side note, I went skating yesterday for the first time in like a month. I'm turning 36 in a couple of weeks and the weather has been nice one day and cold as fuck the next so I figured I better go get some. The shitty part is my knee has been fucked lately. I have no idea what I did to it. It's just sore, more so when I bend it to ollie. I keep thinking it's going to get better, but it hasn't. I don't know what to think at this point. But I went skating anyway. The weird thing is after I skated for a few minutes my knee stopped hurting. The moral of this story? Skate more probably. Anyone want to donate several hundred bucks to me so I can build a mini-ramp? 

WELL THIS GUY LIKES IT!!

So this dude reviewed our EP, go check out his blog, watch our review, then buy our CD. We're playing the 22nd if you're in St. Louis this December. January 26th we're playing with Sponge...you remember them right? They will be playing "Rotting Pinata's" in its entirety. So come out and scream along to 16 candles down the drain....

Strange Angles review 

 

WENT TO KANSAS CITY AND ALL I GOT WAS LEG CRAMPS

So, The Difference Engine loaded up the van for a show in Kansas City the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I've been doing this kind of shit since I was 15 years old, but it's still super fun. Getting out of town, no one knows you and you get to act like you're 15 again for a couple of days. 

Unfortunately we couldn't get anything at the local rental place but a cargo van, as we don't have a van at this point. So we were kind of crammed in the back of the thing with all our shit for five hours. That doesn't mean we didn't have some fun. 

Once we got to town, we went in search of food.....

Then we played a show

 With these dudes called Various Blonde, the rocked the fucking house.

 We stayed with a friend of a friend who was gracious enough to let us crash on his floor. Thanks again Casey. Turns out Casey's a pretty fucking talented skater, artist, and all around cool motherfucker. And he had this skate graveyard going on at his place.

We eventually crammed back into the van, for a long, hungover ride home. Get out there and get some.

 

 

THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE "STRANGE ANGLES" NOW AVAILABLE ON iTunes!!!!

So yeah, we're on iTunes now, so go buy our EP "Strange Angles"....not to be confused with strange angels. We're not into angels for fucks sake. We're into rock and roll, and drugs, and evil shit. The albums mostly black like our hearts.  And red. like blood. 

Hail Satan!!!

GO BUY OUR EP AND MAKE ME RICH!!!

So after months of hard work, recording, re-recording, mixing, mastering and everything else that goes into making a CD we're finally done.

We've already starting the recording for our full length, hopefully it will be out by late spring early summer of next year. 

For now go check The Difference Engine's EP "Strange Angles." CDs will be done in a couple of weeks, but if you're into digital downloads and what not you can go buy it now at our bandcamp page here. Thanks for the support and love and come out and see us, setting up dates now for November and December.

Buy our EP and support real indipendent music!! 

POSTINGS FOR NERDS

            Yeah, it's been a while.  Things have been crazy here in twisted knife world. The bands played out several times a week in the last couple of months. Getting CDs, t-shirts, stickers and all the rest of the merch made has been a pain in the ass. I've also had a bunch of other bull shit to deal with. Water pipe break at my house that had me digging a hole, plugging leak, only to have it break again, and again. Third times a charm I'm hoping. Haven't been skating in I don't know how long. Getting old sucks kids. You have to do things you don't want to, or feel like doing pretty much all the time. 
            To top all that off I've had a killer tooth ache all week and no money to get it fixed. I did learn a pretty good lesson however. Weed totally dulls the pain from said tooth ache, but then I get the munchies and want to chow down on Doritos or whatever and I can't. It's torture I tell you. 

 

FUCK THOSE FUCKERS

                     I rarely use facebook these days. Why? Because everyone's uber religious, homophobic, right wing, left wing, politically fucking retarded. Seriously, the world is obviously fucked, and the USA ain't what she used to be. 
                     The Economy tanking makes me think about how lucky I really am. I have no big debt, I live on the cheap, I don't fuck with credit cards (they're the fucking devil, useless unless you own a business.) and I don't have a lot of expensive habits. Smoking, but I'm trying to quit OK!?! 
                    Here in the Heartland (Missouri, Misery, the leadbelt, the parkland, the fucking asshole of america.) we've had no goddamn rain, temperatures reaching 100 or more every fucking day, and mother fuckers going crazy. Just to give you an Idea of where I live, the shitty ass clown, fuck faced, inbred bunch of fuck tards known as the K.K.K. had a picnic last weekend. They were giving away free sandwiches. Which in it'self seems nice right? But it's just so fucking underhanded. They say they're not a hate group, but their regulations, stipulations, and what not doesn't allow for anyone not white. 
                     Then I think about how everything is like that. Our Congress is bought and sold by the special interest groups, the military industrial complex, and Wall Street. The sad part is I know this, I know it's all a lie, I know how the asshole cops, lawyers, judges, congressmen and the like perform in their respective job duties. (Just a note, I realize that not every of the aforementioned occupations are fueled by nothing but assholes, there are good cops, lawyers, etc.....It's just that they're so far and few between.) but I just don't give two shits anymore. That's wrong of me, but arguing with someone that even cares what Chick-fiturd thinks about gay marriage is like trying to make a retard not retarded.  IMPOSSIBLE!?!
                      Having a sense of humor, and not taking the whole ride of life too seriously. Stop caring what the fucking actors, rockstars, preachers, politicians, and for fucks sake a fast food chain say about what life is! They are just part of the problem.
                     I love how Tim says he lived with Eric Koston and doesn't really know him. I think that's one of the thing, besides his skating, that we all love about Koston. Just a mystery, but at the same time totally likeable. Skateboarders on the whole have the right attitude about all of this. Fuck you, get out of my way, and fuck your agendas. Enjoy life, and the world around you, get out, search, travel, don't take a moment for granted. It's just a ride.
