I just want to let everyone know that this whole blog thing was no accident. It was planned from the get go. It was put in place to boost the band’s CD sales. Did it work? Not so much, but the novelty factor of the whole thing seemed to stick, so we’re running with it. I know it’s been a really long time since the last blog (and trust me, I’ve heard a lot of gripes from a lot of people) but here is the latest, newest blog. It’s hard to keep up with the Nuts and Bolts blog with Spin Magazine constantly hounding me about deadlines and such. You people in the industry know how it is. So here we go. Jagger left for his Metal Mulisha tour a few weeks ago with John (Rotten). I talked to him three days ago and he said that they were in Rochester New York and that it was cold there. He also forgot his Sony PSP which Nick was suppossed to mail to him but I was playing it instead. In appologies, I sent Jagger a picture of me when I was ten years old. And in the picture I had two, count them two black eyes. I thought that should cheer him up a little. Nick has been Nick. I think he got into art school and I asked him to paint me a picture and he said that we’ll have to talk about it some more. Then he left. Nuts and Bolts had played some shows since the last posting. One in Sacramento and the other in Lake Tahoe. The one in Lake Tahoe I didn’t go to but from what I heard, it was one not to be missed. Not the show per se but the band getting stuck in a snowstorm after driving for 3 hours and having the highway get closed and having to turn back and stay an additional night, and Diogo not knowing how to snowboard and having ten year olds shred all over his ass on the bunny slope. Forcing him to walk down the mountain (bunny mountain) in utter shame with wet panties, covered in preteen’s snow spray. Now onto the big news. Diogo and I were sitting around on the couch today drinking beer and eating chinese food where we had profound conversation. First things first. Diogo bought a 12 pack of Bud Light from the store across the street from Long’s. 5 out of the 12 beers had a defunct in the can. When we tried to open the beers, the tab snapped off without actually opening the can. So we had to take a can opener and open the cans like a can of soup. W.T.F. is all I have to say about that. Mr. Bud and Dr. Light (inventors of low carb beer) are rolling in their graves right now about this. It took us about ten good minutes to figure out that a can opener would do the trick. We were very close to writing those five off and just focusing on the seven,but we put our heads together and prevailed. Half way through our second 12 pack we really got into talking about great movies of our generation and we got into a debate of the best Pauly Shore movies. We decided to list our favorite Pauly Shore movies in order of most entertaining. We both agreed that Encino Man was the best and that Bio Dome was the least favorite. The one disagreement was that, I that In the Army Now was his second best and Diogo thought that Son in Law was the second best. Both good movies in their own right, but you be the judge. We all have personal favorites. I mean, I get a lot of guff because my favorite Kurt Russel film is Captain Ron, not Big Trouble in Little China. (there are a lot of Captain Ron haters out there). Then Diogo and I got into a debate about romantic comedies. Diogo is a huge fan of these type of movies. To say huge fan is an understatement, it’s all he get’s on Netflix. Some of his favorites include You’ve got Mail, About a Boy, and Sleepless in Seattle. This brought us to our next delima. Is Tom Hanks or Hugh Grant better in romantic comedies. He said Tom Hanks. I mean I don’t have a lot of romanatic comedy experience (I’m pretty much a romantic comedy virgin). I said that Hugh Grants had a slight advantage because he was British, and the ladies love an accent. We came to a stalemate but then he mentioned the fact that the latest youngblood in the romantic comedy game, Jude Law was making a name for himself. We’ll just have to wait and see in the long run who is the going to be the king.Well that’s about all I got for now. Check back in the next few months and maybe there will be something new.
How can you mention Kurt Russel without mentioning Escape from New York! Idiots! And What about Matthew McConaughey not only does he have a southern accent, but he never wears a shirt and he's crazy
