BUTCH! BUTCH WALKER! Yeah you brotha...

Listen, now that I got your attention, hows about you produce my next record? Also, if you could do it for free (hell or even pro bono) that'd be super great. If you do, I promise to be your friend forever and will tell you all my best jokes and buy you a beer and add you to my Groundhog's Day card mailing list. Lemmie know when's good for you... I am willing to work more or less around your schedual. Cheers.

Ok... On with the show...

Allo,

Chris Real here.

All I wanna do in life is rock, drink, fuck, wake up and talk about it for a couple hours with buddies/strangers who are willing to listen, and do it over again.

Over the years since I picked up a gee-tar (and not much else) while attending the Weyburn Comprehensive High School, I've had the pleasure of playing with lots of good bands with lots of bad names... Sour Planet, The Velcros, -another wave- (although that one was more of a DISpleasure 'cuz our singer was a complete dick but...), Livid Sun, Running With Scissors, Bazooka Joe, SuperJuice, and B.I.L.F.

This 'Chris Real & the Others' thing is EASILY my coolest named project yet. \m/

I always seem to be in 2 or3 bands at the same time, and I have no probs with that at ALL. Better me than someone like, less good. ;-)

Currently, in the interest of making a Loonie or two, I am performing with a cover band, Rhymes With Fun, in and around Regina... and this project is for the original side of things.

Sometimes my hair is black, sometimes it's blond... sometimes there's other assorted random colours in there as well.
There, now Blender Magazine can do a 14 page article on me without ever having to talk to me.
I won't be on the cover though... 'cuz I'm a dude.

Anyways...

I really hate Facebook... that has nothing to do with anything but I have to express that sentiment in any public forum that lets me. For the love of Jeebus, cancel your account, you're better than that.

Erg, k, ANYWAYS...

I spend my entire life, literally every waking second, wondering what's more fucked up, the world or myself.
Lots of times while I'm thinking like this I have a guitar in my hands, and some of the results are nestled in that pretty pinkish-purple player over there----> erg, sorry, UP there ^^^^^

Writing songs is cheaper than therapy.

Everyone from doctors to relatives to friends tell me I should be on medication, but I'm not risking gov't mandated drugs taking away my creativity.

"That which nourishes me will also destroy me."

Angelina Jolie has that written on her... I think... it's in Latin. Speaking of messed up people.

This year I am in the process of making a rock record. A great record. That's not some grand statement about how I'm going to be famous and conquer the world... ALL real rock records are great... besides, most of the great rock records released in the past 5 years no one has heard... the Crystal Pistols and Todd Kerns and Robin Blacks of the world... Everyone's too busy downloading the latest brutal Fall Out Boy song to care. Things like that make me think it IS the world, and not myself.

Why I'm writing this is beyond me... how do you explain rock n' roll to someone who has never been there?

The songs are the most important ingredient I suppose, and some of them are on here... but I can't explain lasagna by saying 'noodles'.

I guess if rock n' roll could be explained it wouldn't be the cool, beautiful, vital thing it is.

On that note, I'm gonna stop trying to explain myself.

Much love.

Your friend,

Chris Real

P.S. I really, really, really hate Nickelback. Chad Kroeger must die.

My Day With Econoline Crush

****Hey all... I know this was like, a couple weeks ago, but I had originally posted it on a music blog I've since been politely asked to remove my stuff from and not contribute to anymore. :-) It still belongs somewhere, so here goes:

Rest In Peace, Les Paul

The inventor of the instrument responsible for taking rock n' roll from it's 50's/hillbilly Elvis Presley roots (a genre I find endlessly boring), and making it into the sexy, dangerous, blood pumping music style (and way of life) it became, has died at age …
