UCLA Mighty Mic 2010 Girl You Don’t Have It
thatwasthen rocked UCLA at their annual Mighty Mic benefit for The Congo and Heal Africa. There was an awesome turn out and we were able to rock to a great crowd. Here is a video of us performing “Girl you don’t have it”.
What It’s Like From My Perspective
I know I don’t post often on here, but I wanted to share this clip we shot at practice the other night. here is a view of my drums during “Girl, You Don’t Have It.” Enjoy!
Who’s the wine-drinking moron now!?
Just a quick rant here.
A new archetype of chick has come about. I mean, technically this can be guys too, but there always seems to be a chick at the party who refuses your offer of, “Hey, want a beer?” She slyly pulls out a bottle of red wine and raises her eyebrows and says, “No thanks, I don’t drink beer. I drink wine.”
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good wine… especially a good RED wine. But when a girl gets two glasses in, and she starts having a good time, and we see that smile come out… that’s when we see what she’s made of! It never fails that she has a mouth full of purple/black teeth.
So what do we have, here? We have a condescending chick who looks down on me because I enjoy a brew every once in a while… but she’s smiling at me through set of pearly purps!
Girl, You Don’t Have It!
As a postscript PERSONAL recommendation, I find the Castle Rock Pinot Noir is a great, cheap wine usually found for about 10 dollars at the most. But I would avoid the Mendocino County version, as it is not as sweet and smooth in my opinion. Go for the Napa County if you can. Oh, and best of all girls… it doesn’t stain your teeth!
Leave All Your Fears At The Door
And enter the rehearsal room of your grandmother’s favorite new band.
If you have been to a thatwasthen show, then you must have wondered what it takes to develop the songs, their lyrics and the sound of all your favorite songs. If so then you have entered into a state of mind called thatwasthentia. As I sit in a sound proofed room in a studio in sherman oaks, CA i cant help but notice just what it takes for the boys of thatwasthen to write, create, develop and perfect the next new song. i have seen first hand the process, the creativity and the drive for perfection that go into their music. i saw such songs as absolute zero, girl (you don’t have it), both to blame and mr. politician transform from just chord progressions and lyrics into full blown rock songs. what comes from these rehearsals is developing to the best of their great abilities the songs they write until they are as perfect as they believe they can be.
With so much training in musical theory, it’s no wonder that the guys can write, play and sing so well. But with so many new songs being performed it’s hard to believe just how these new songs go from ideas to 100% ready to perform so quickly.
At the next rehearsal we shall delve into some of the new songs, see the changes made. How old songs are changed and new songs are written.
Kindest Regards

bob dylan detained in new jersey
walking into the wrong neighborhood can net you some trouble. bob dylan found this out the hard way (or the easy way, depending on how you look at it) after he wandered into a Latin community in Long Branch, New Jersey. a 22 year old police officer stopped dylan after residents had reported a ‘scruffy old man’ wandering about acting suspicious. when the officer asked him for I.d. he either shit his pants in disbelief or complete relief. i’m not sure which. he told her who he was, but did not offer any i.d. because, hey, he’s fucking bob dylan. anyways:
Then she radioed her older colleagues at the police station to ask if anyone knew who Bob Dylan was.
‘I’m afraid we all fell about laughing,’ said Spencer. ‘If it was me, I’d have been demanding his autograph, not his ID.
‘The poor woman has taken rather a lot of abuse from us. I offered to bring in some of my Dylan albums. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know what vinyl is either.’ [source: staracsm]
I’m pretty sure that officer feels quite stupid knowing she overlooked one of the biggest legends in music. the most amazing part of that quote is the fact she doesn’t even know what vinyl is.girl, you don’t have it.
