Nostalgia, Mario and a Phone Call

Nostalgia, Mario and a Phone Call

It never ceases to amaze me how often the smallest of things trigger the most profound of memories from my past. A smell, the cover of a book I haven’t seen in some time, the way the breeze feels and the sky looks on a sun setting autumn day, or in this case, a video [...]


The White Pegasus Gift

The White Pegasus Gift

In keeping with the ‘ole tradition of underpriced white elephant gifts, we’re also posting our own little White Pegasus offering for the holiday season.
As you can see below, White Pegasus is a free 3-song download featuring the brand new “Blue Christmas” recording plus two 2010 favorites. We want to give it to pretty much everyone [...]


Christmas EP: Elvis, Petty, Torme &…Sangria??

Christmas EP: Elvis, Petty, Torme &…Sangria??

(Lovedrug Christmas songs posted at I AM LOVEDRUG)
‘Twas eleven days before Christmas, when all through our rehearsal space
Not a creature was stirring, except for the mice that keep chewing through
our instrument cables.
Too poor for stockings, no chimney with care
The only thing Saint Nick left us was a gallon of Sangria
and four glasses to share.
We weren’t [...]

Between now and then there will be a lot of updates, along with a campaign to help raise funds to [...]

Austin Survival Kit

Austin Survival Kit

          During the course of our 29 hour drive straight back to Ohio I had a little time to reflect on all things Austin and the mystic glow that surrounds those bearing witness to the entity known as SXSW. I believe now in my heart that all these years I have had a misconstrued view on [...]

out of the fish and into the fryer

There’s no particular reason for abandoning my will for a sense of companionship at this point. My dear fish left me behind in the rumble of the last bad dream I had. Him and Jon Bovi both elude my presence for they know in their minds that I am the best they’ve ever had. A [...]

from Jeremy to Michael

from Jeremy to Michael

Dear Michael,
I read your blog down below.
Oh, I can dance..I can dance.
But I can’t wait to watch Six Feet Under
and scream at the top of my lungs my new celebrity crush when the clock strikes midnight..in my quiet house.
Don’t hate me.
Don’t be mad because I have soaps shoes to play with and you don’t.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

supernatural mice in our walls

supernatural mice in our walls

My freaking ears wont stop ringing. Our rehearsal space is too small! I am beginning to contemn James’ cracked cymbal which consistently buzzes in a seemingly sempiternal fashion, cringing the very depths of my soul. Eight fucking hours of this shit and were still screwing up parts?? Whatever. Another day and hopefully Akron will receive [...]


a circle is a square

a circle is a square

A typical day in the life of anyone is intriguing when looked at under a microscope, or in short glimpses. It’s really all about the thought process behind the actions and not the actions themselves. For instance, I was outside smoking a cigarette just the other day when a middle-aged gentleman wearing a suit jacket [...]
