Good Lord. This show's gonna be hotter than two rats kissin' in a wool sock.<br /><br />Scroll down to see all of the incredibly cool music+film+art that will be happening that night. Also, Love Hope Strength will be there signing up donors to help fight cancer. (Hell yes.)<br /><br />Oh, and tell your friends who had U2 tickets to come drown their sorrows at our show. I'll personally give them a hug and softly sing "With Or Without You" in their ear. Also, they'll save $5 if they buy tickets in advance.

The cost would be $10 but you'd get a safe ride to and from the show AND they're gonna throw in a free beer during the ride up! They need 40 people to make it worthwhile.

inestimably great sounding Walnut Room. I will be playing the show with the lovely Jess DeNicola and the beguiling Dave Preston. How's that for a power trio? Also playing that night: Liz Clark, Tessa Perry and Melanie Susuras. Not to turn this into a gender thing, but I just realized I'll be the sole male songwriter of the night. Hmmm... Interesting.<br /><br />Fear not, it's an early show--you will get your beauty rest. Not that you need it.<br /><br />Will you come? Say yes.<br /><br />Here are the DETAILS of the show and a way to buy TICKETS for you and your date:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thewalnutroom.com/show/detail/23996#tickets">http://www.thewalnutroom.com/show/detail/23996#tickets<br /></a><br />I've been reading Emerson lately,<br /><br />john<br />johncommon.com<br />twitter.com/johncommon<br />facebook.com/jcommon<br />myspace.com/johncommon<br />hitrecordandplay.blogspot.com<br />P.S.

The cd artwork for Beautiful Empty is nearly done. It's lovely. Just like the new record is. Can't wait for you to hear it. Saturday, Dec 12 -- Denver CD release show. Put it on your refrigerator!<br /><br />P.P.S. This is me having an ADHD moment during the mixing of a song named 'Same Scar' from the new record. Further proof that making a record is filled with dangerous, white knuckling moments fraught with tension and... who am I kiddin'? It's actually a lot of drinking Jameson, listening and waiting around. <a href="http://hitrecordandplay.blogspot.com/2009/08/mixing-same-scar-self-amusement.html">http://hitrecordandplay.blogspot.com/2009/08/mixing-same-scar-self-amusement.html<br /></a><br />=================<br />Upcoming Events<br />=================<br /><br />Thu, Oct 22<br />Walnut Room<br />w/ Liz Clark<br /><br />Thu, Nov 5<br />Meadowlark<br />w/ TBA<br /><br />Sat, Dec 12<br />Denver CD Release<br />for Beautiful Empty<br />Curious Theatre<br />Details coming ~ Save the dateJohn Commonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687553551531096180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28938881.post-57487218681955741492009-10-03T18:07:00.004-06:002009-10-03T18:12:03.440-06:00Sprint Triathlon at Pensacola BeachI did a sprint TRI at Pensacola Beach with my brother this morning.

I don't blame ye so much for; dat is natur, and can't be helped; but to gobern dat wicked natur, dat is de pint. You is sharks, sartin; but if you gobern de shark in you, why den you be angel; for all angel is not'ing more dan de shark well goberned. Now, look here, bred'ren, just try wonst to be cibil, a helping yourselbs from dat whale. Don't be tearin' de blubber out your neighbour's mout, I say. Is not one shark dood right as toder to dat whale? And, by Gor, none on you has de right to dat whale; dat whale belong to some one else. I know some o' you has berry brig mout, brigger dan oders; but then de brig mouts sometimes has de small bellies; so dat de brigness of de mout is not to swaller wid, but to bit off de blubber for de small fry ob sharks, dat can't get into de scrouge to help demselves."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8RFJmHWoIXlbH46CIUOsnaBD49KFdd4Wjrt3VlL82uruZVLXVlgHa7PMVh21GyyFh7zrG3nR0EZyGYdS81s-sUc7WMwYCCZNTdNCFCoYJpivVW1iCjlZrVMrk2lotcf8avXyc/s1600-h/Picture+5.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8RFJmHWoIXlbH46CIUOsnaBD49KFdd4Wjrt3VlL82uruZVLXVlgHa7PMVh21GyyFh7zrG3nR0EZyGYdS81s-sUc7WMwYCCZNTdNCFCoYJpivVW1iCjlZrVMrk2lotcf8avXyc/s400/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366573538129238754" border="0" /></a>John Commonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16687553551531096180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28938881.post-19524633451202259382009-08-02T17:39:00.000-06:002009-08-02T17:41:05.798-06:00Mixing Same Scar...

I noticed that there were more than a few spoons whose origins I couldn't quite pin down. Such as that really nice heavy one with the longish handle. Or that Mickey Mouse spoon from Disney World. Or that little ornate tea spoon. Or that strange-ish, wooden spoon with a Russian peasant-looking paint job. Or that funky modern one. And others.<br /><br />And then it dawned on me that these disparate spoons all had something in common: I had stolen them, subconsciously, from ex-girlfriends over the years.<br /><br />It's true. I was standing there in my kitchen, face to face with a new reality: I was a spoon thief. And it also dawned on me that it was a little creepy, frankly. Like some sleepwalking, totemistic, voodoo, final rites ritual. But each spoon reminded me of "her" and our happier times. I thought to myself "Weird, man." And... "I'm a weird man".<br /><br />But then I thought about it a little more and I started getting a little misty-eyed. I mean, there's something endearing about this mild obsession, if you think about it. I was "just a boy, standing in front of a girl's silverware drawer, stealing a spoon to remember her by..." Kind of like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhuTL-rtQa8&feature=related">this movie scene</a>. Only odder and slightly less sacharin. And without Hugh Grant or Julia Roberts.<br /><br />So I did what any self-respecting songwriter would do. I wrote a song about it:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">spoons</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(imagine the music being played by a full on, guitar-driven, rock band drunk on well tequila at </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://media.decider.com/assets/images/venues/venue/23009/1_LionsLair_EXT_jpg_595x325_crop_upscale_q85.jpg">Lions Lair</a><span style="font-style: italic;">)</span></span><br /><br />i collect the spoons of my ex-girlfriends <br />they're all right here in my kitchen drawer <br />it's kind of a weird thing I admit <br />but it's the one thing that I still have <br /><br />whenever I saw that the end was near <br />I'd steal to her kitchen and pocket a spoon <br />just a little something to remember her by <br />'cause the end was coming soon <br /><br />have a good life<br />with your fork and knife<br />I got your spoon, got your spoon<br />makes me think of you<br />I gotcha spoon, gotcha spoon<br />gotcha spoon, gotcha<br /><br />I've never been good at remembering when <br />like the time by the river or when I met her dad <br />but when it's 3 in the morning and it's cold outside <br />it's all right here in my hand<br /><br />["FUCK YEH" GUITAR SOLO]<br /><br />I suppose one day I might find someone<br />who'll put up with all the crazy shit I do<br />we'll decide on a pattern and get our silverware<br />and I'll give back those spoons<br /><br />I'll record this song on an old tape deck<br />box it up with her beat up spoon<br />brown paper wrapping with no return address<br />just a note that reads..<br /><br />"I enjoyed your spoon"<br />"I surely enjoyed your spoon"<br />"I sure will miss your spoon"<br /><br />[REPEAT CHORUS... maybe twice even]<br /><br />I got your spoon...<br />it makes me think of you<br /><br />============================<br />What made me remember all of this was a recent Facebook IM conversation with my friend, A.<br /><br />A while back, I told A. about my strange spoon stealing fetish. A. was going through a break up of his own, alas. So I recommended the spoon stealing move as a way to deal with his angst and grief. A. thought it was "funny". But today, A. popped in on me and we had this conversation:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:45pm A.</span><br />I got a spoon!<br /><br />its a great silicon spoonish spatula<br /><br />she's pissed that i wont give it back<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm John</span><br />i'm proud of you, A.<br /><br />good job.<br /><br />i would have liked to see you nab a metal one.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm A.</span><br />;)<br /><br />naw<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm John</span><br />a big soup spoon has been my specialty.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm A.</span><br />this one is amazing<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm John</span><br />but hey, we're different people.<br /><br />we like different things.<br /><br />and i embrace diversity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:46pm A.</span><br />its true :):)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:47pm John</span><br />it feels good... when you look down in the drawer, doesn't it?<br /><br />surprisingly.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:47pm A.</span><br />so great<br /><br />i dont even use it<br /><br />i just like to look at it and gloat<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:47pm John</span><br />oh... you're "using it"... you're just not using it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:47pm A.</span><br />zakly<br /><br />So Dear Reader, I will leave you with this final bit of advice: The next time you go through a breakup, go ahead and nab a spoon. Do it. It's oddly therapeutic. And if you ever look down into your kitchen drawer and wonder, "Where the hell is that spoon?", don't get angry. Don't judge.
