Hello There Satchaholic’s

Work is so boring today all the systems are down, At least we still have the net, Yey. Anybody got a Chrome Boy for Sale? I saw a mirror painted J.S go on E bay the other day for about $450 in mint condition, I would have napped it up but the seller would not send it out side of the U.S…..Dam it….

Satriella Cool Sounds good. I am going to get some stuff on dinner to start drawing again. Might just start with Pencil and work back up to using Goulash Paint’s (spelling permitted) I used to love using Goulash great to work with.

Hey Joe

Cheers Joe.

St. Swithin's Day if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin's Day if thou be fair, For forty days 'twill rain na mair

Hi Joe,

I'm Jose Desales and from the Philippines. Some of my friends also call me Joe because they know that I'm a very big fan of yours.

Two years ago, I was in Concord, California. I stepped into the local Tower Records there and I saw a flyer announcing that you would do an in-store performance on 13 April 2004 for the realease of your new album then "Is There Love In Space". I captured that performance on a videocam I borrowed from a friend.

Then it was time for your autographs. I didn't mind falling in line for more than an hour just to get your signature on 4 of your earlier albums. I had a picture taken with you and my friend are dead envious everytime I show them the pic.

On the release of your new album, I was excited to get a copy of it. Unfortunately, the local record stores here in the Philippines don't have it yet. Last week, my girlfriend Teresa and I went to Singapore for a weekend vacation. The first stop a made was in Tower Records in Suntec. It didn't take me more than a minute to buy a copy. I had a chat with the cashier there and he told me that your wife is from Singapore.

I have been listening to Super Colossal everyday for the last two weeks and I really enjoy every track in it. My favorite is One Robot's Dream. Now, I have a complete collection of your albums!

Rock on!

hey Joe!

yesterday would have been the second time I would see you. But on the highway to Hardenberg I got involved in a serious car crash - which wasn't my fault, luck wasn't on my side I guess :(
I hope the gig was as good as the one in Amsterdam (which was awesome), and I hope the Dutch were also a great audience for you!

Dear Joe,

What a fantastic show it was on the 5th of july in Hardenberg, NL, even though it was about 40 degrees celsius... Thanks so much for the photos and autographs! (Also thanks to Jeff, Dave and Galen of course)

We also really liked Adrian Legg. Both his music and his kindness were much appreciated as well as yours.

One thing that really worried me: Joe, you looked absolutely exhausted after the show, like you hadn't had a good night's sleep in weeks. Please do look after yourself!

To conclude with I would like to wish you a happy birthday in advance!

Good luck with the show and all the best,

Waterproof Soap - you know the way your last post was set out was like someone on their death-bed...calling everyone and saying a little something before they go.....you not going anywhere are you?

I will answer that for you....before you get the chance to give the wrong answer....

Good Morning Satchland...... How Are We Today?

the_beatrix_kiddo......I had to laugh. I actually wrote your name in as The Botox Kidd.....lol..... Well I knew that wasn't right....lol..... Anyway,thanks for the vid on Erik Mondrain. All I can say is.....Holy S..T. That's amazing and if didn't see it and hear it I would have never guessed one guitar. How does one even start learning a technique like that? Stanley Jordan take note. Erik would be a perfect opener for Joe. Take Care and Thanks.

GROWLER, Cuth..... I totally respect what you guys have been saying and I think it's great. God Bless us all.

Sudsy..... I love your words also and I agree with Cuth. What's up? Everything OK?

/\//\T'/: Yo girl!.... lol, very good point on football (and any sport) vs. life in general!.... Btw, looks like my Italian brotha's are going for the big one, lol, I knew they would go this far and believe me.... It is their time!! :-) Stay kuul /\//\T'/ and all out love :-)

962: No prob man, Pablo is one crazy mofo, lol, I always wonder if he is serious, cause if he ever became serious.... The world would self destruct, lol, I'll keep ya posted on the album....

Guitarmiester: lol bro, have fun with Scarified, lol, and on the sweep.... Pablo hates to admit that ability, but he has it, haha, he is one sick git!!....

Stevee T: Rock-on bro, and may your guitar dreams come true! :-)

Clarky: The Eisa drums are chanting the DC Band call, lol, it's only a matter of time, and again, great news on a great git!!....

bahduh: Hope you and Jordan are feeling better by the time you read this, and get some sleep!!.... This World Cup is draining, but in a great way, lol!! :-)

alexandrecaetano: Great to hear from you bro, I am sorry for the Portugal loss as they had many chances to win the game, but like /\//\T'/ stated.... As in football, as in life.... Zidane is on the move, but Italy will stop him!! ;-) Warm Regards to you and your family bro! :-)

Hi Keniko - Hope things are on the up for you!

Hi Ovation - You know everyone!.....hehe....including me!

never mind eh you have to take the downs with the ups!

haha

Satriella..... Hi Hon. How are you? Everything is great on my end. Busy Holiday weekend fixing windows and painting. I did enjoy the time off from Fri. to Wed. We had a great time inspite of the work....lol.....Hugs.

Ovation 1...... Yeah, I was laughing also on Joe's Ford Escort comments. What a great Podcast eh? I also like the Queen Rubina comment. I bet Joe caught some grief for that one....lol......Anyway, How's things?

slanshroom: Missed your post bro, lol, I was backtracking to make sure I caught everyone!....

....On the missle situation.... They landed closer to Chinese waters, but it has really sent the government a stir here.... The U.S. military are conducting more intense RC-135 flights (to jam and find info), but otherwise, they are just pissing off governments around the world.... I really hope they launch again and one lands as a mistake, lol, they are an accident waiting to happen.... I still, to this day, cannot fathom what makes a society allow this kind of credulance....

Btw, I can picture the whole continent of the North going blackout when the missles launch, and the crazy thing is, the government doesnt want help!!.... Such is life.... Stay kuul bro!....

My condolences /\/\/\R|<....

Hi ya people,

Been mega busy trying to get my project of the ground. I was doing some research for it and I came accross this amazing concept on Pete Townshends site www.petetownshend.co.uk. I thought some of you guys might wanna take a look at it as lots of you write music or are interested in writing music. Sign up if ya wanna have a go. I don't think you have to be a musician to have a go either.

The Method is software that creates music. Your role is as a ‘Sitter’ – you sit for a musical portrait just as if you were being painted. The software ‘paints’ your music. The entire business may take just a few minutes, or much longer – in some cases perhaps a large number of sittings over a period of weeks would be required. A lot depends on what happens when you first join in this experiment.

What will be the outcome of your involvement?

There are two possible routes for this experiment to travel:

One, you sit once, and quite quickly receive a piece of music that you part-own (1). You can do what you like with it. You may not like it, you may love it, but it will be an authentic portrait based on the information gathered by your interaction with the Method software. This is free.

Two, your first portrait is deemed by the composers running this site to be especially interesting. This does not mean it is better or worse than any other portrait. Simply, the composers are hoping that certain portraits will provide the setting for development as ‘bigger’ pieces – possibly songs. Even this part of the experiment is free, however we will ask Sitters to commit by simple contract to remain available until the work is finished (2).

What every Sitter will be able to enjoy - if they wish – is a concert occasion in the future when all the music created by this software is aired in public for the first time. On that occasion, composers will perform. Selected Sitters will appear on film (if they wish), or their music will be accompanied by video presentations. There will be a premium ticket price required to attend the event in any country (circa $130). The event will be aired by webcast over the internet, will itself be filmed and sold to television and other media for entertainment and documentary purposes.
