im uninspired to write this blogge
ive got nothin' to say
and no way of saying it
theres been some very bad personal news(not mine)
that has slowed rehearsals right down
we are rehearsing in industrial suburb now
in middle of nowhere
either noisy guitars or lotsa blokes sitting round
smoking cigarettes and watching football
(ANATHEMA)
people drinking beer (burp)
people eating pizzas (ditto)
cars drivin' up deliverin' n takin' away amps n drums
i do yoga in an empty rehearsal room
with the thump thump thump
of some dismal heavy metal plodders
coming thru the wall
just what this world neeeds
some tattooed turkeys grindin' out
another 'orrible bleeding racquet
some geezer singin' in a high pitched voice
about the devil (yawn)
millions of "musicians" all over this world
dreamin' of the big time
spendin' their hard earned dough
on rehearsals n guitar pedals n beers n pizzas
many are called
but
few are chosen
still you say
let em have their dreams
even if their dream is generating a loathesome row
in a rehearsal room in belmore
sure sure
dream on boys
what the hell would i know
im jus' knockin' out this uninspired blogge
and thats it
bye

good luck with the rehearsals, btw. you guys should rehearse in some heaven designed by eno. btw, where to send that bottle of exquisite bohemian herbal liqueur i wanted to give you in london, just that i could not get there...what's the address of the karmic hit headquarter skyscraper=?
Short but funny as ever.

Yo Swamp - MD - rokc it up big time!
Have you heard Los Ringsow? Almost as good. Peirre, don't worry bugge no one is gonna. Hey fandorin, just send it my way or lets catch up and hook in to it. see you all soon. Meet you on Lonelygirl 15 blog in 20.
I'm worried about your comment, Steve. Hope all will right itself whatever it may be.
To do yoga next to - and within earshot - of such a seemingly caustic enviroment, says to me you have a disciplined mind to push those invasive distractions aside. Or, you just said fuck it, I'll wait for the seaside.
hope all is well.
We all gotta have our dreams. Guilty as charged...'cept I don't play loud "devil BS" :), and thanfully we don't need to use a rehearsal space. Done that before, don't dig it...for just those very reasons you mentioned. Sorry to hear about whomever's bad news, hope it all pans out. Good luck with everything. Keep us posted. Cheers,bro...
BV
Good luck with your rehearsals!!
is it not an option to rehearse at the swanky karmic hit HQ? do they not have rehearsal space there?
~
i hope that the bad news rights itself for whomever it's affecting.
i thought you were rehearsing in a secluded, secret area? sounds like you're at grand central station. hopefully the "loathesome row" that's being generated doesn't become a full-fledged brawl between y'all. just keep doing what you do that's so great. from what you are saying, they don't have what it takes, anyway.
"theres been some very bad personal news(not mine)"
oh my my, dear Orpheus, please let those concerned
know we are thinking of them and wish a speedy and
happy ending to whatever this may be.
nothing else matters but the happiness of friends.

Sorry to hear about the bad news sk. I hope whoever it is, will be ok.
Good luck with it all.
Take care and love always,

(Thanks for writing to us even though you dont feel like it and have so many other important things to worry about)
Just returned from the astral realms, where i seem to spend a lot of time in an ever evolving loop of attraction with a girl i have yet to meet. She inhabits my dreams, and always smiles and waves at me when i walk or in last nights case rode passed her.
So this morning i have been catching up on your Blog. Ohh maybe you have pulled me into your 'field,'actually i think i am easily pulled into church related fields. It's easy for me to get lost in there.
Well as you know if ever you need a ride, drop me a line, if i can, i will, safe and sound, no charge.
Hope that whatever is going down rights itself asap and if ya need some inspiration, i saw a good movie you may enjoy called 'solaris.'
It really needs a church soundtrack.
love
kisses
& hugs for you
"i know you wont believe this
but then what then is belief in belief itself
and what is in the realms of the unimaginable?
i have been to other worlds"
Steve, you may find this article interesting.
I hope all is ok.. re that bad newz.
Positive energy all the way to ya
from Neew Zeelund.
That was me ...

Hey Steve,

You sound down and despondent, hope is all OK with you.

That you can still churn out a blog for the faithful (although you are entitled to your days off, my good man), despite feeling massively UNinspired - s'a giving thing you do. Accepted with appreciation.
Be well.

Steve,
Sorry to hear of the bad personal news - whoever received it.
Heavy metal - I agree - an awful bloody noise - music?, hmm, I think not - gives me a headache just thinkung about it.
I played in a heavy rock band many moons ago I'm afraid to say - when I was young and misguided - those guys are so conservative in their nonconformity if you know what I mean.
Ciao,
sendin' loadsa good vibes to sydney.
Please please, Sk keep it together...
Stop this Malarrky............ Don't let it happen, I am not paranoid, I just know the hap's with you ladds.
Be Inspired!!! the world needs you......Have ya told the bandies how popular this bloggie is, and we all came here because of the CHURCH
/if i am wrong than all gd))), .......just the usual (rocker) band stuff.
But Fuc we need that music man.
No rummors people..Its just a feeling THE CHURCH ARE AT THE PEAK.
......STAY...............THERE.....STAY TOGETHER.
Matt
I know what you mean, SK. I've been searching for other space rockers to play with in Melbourne and just keep coming across metal morons at every turn. I'd rather go surfing.
Sorry to hear about the bad news (not yours). Hope all the choich guys are well.
heavy metal gives me a headache.
all the best with the rehersals in yer secret, undisclosed location. i envy those who are able to attend these full-on electric shows.
glad you guys are still out there, doin whatcha do. As someone said above, the band is at such an incredible peak. never sounded better, richer, more layered, IMO.
ryan
interesting to hear an insider's view of the music biz. now i remember why i never became a rock star, that and the fact that i cant sing, play guitar, in fact i have no rhythm at all, i'm not even good lookin. i found my rightful place as an ugly listener.
yes, the peak... thanks matt
bad news, bad noise, what a year it's been
fairly knocks the stuffing out of a teddy, what?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Steven,
The taxi driver told me to tell you: "Don't worry, sir, I take care of you! Believe me, I get you where you want to go." He also say: "Thanx for the extra ten bucks. Ha ha!"
--Chris
Steve,
I don't know if it means anything to you but I'm sending you my love & best wishes from England.
You're never far from my thoughts, especially when things aren't so good in your life.
Love you more,
Dave M
SK,
Sorry about you current situation. Hope everything works out the best for you and the mates.

whaddayamean you don't like heavy metal - i like their lyrics the best - very muchos funnyos indeedos
for example (from the magnificent 3 inches of blood)
Axes of evil, strong not feeble
Axes of evil, come on!
Axes of evil, our fates wrapped in steel
Axes of evil, come on! Come on!!!
look and learn kilbey, see where you're going wrong now
regards pip
Well, I really do like Helmet (they're not very metal, are they?). But does this interest anyone? We're all much more concerned about the 'very bad personal news'. It does sound pretty alarming.
Hope you're all well.
hey steve,
some days are better than others!are you in good health?are you surrounded by people who love and appreciate you?i dont know,sometimes we just have to be happy about the small and simple things,you know?i do know from reading these blogs,that there is a lot of love and beauty in the people here that wish to expess and share there creative eneergy!do you read these blogs steve?everythings going to be just fine,you watch.whatever problems seem giant and outa control,will tomorrow be a soft whisper of sweetness in your ear,gentle and strong at the same time.so all i say to you is be patient,be encouraged,be strong,be present to the emotions and then,clear your mind and go into something else deeply and when you return things wont be the way they were.so regardless we love you and in our minds we send you light to heal the sadness,and erupt with joy ....blurting out giggles...and imagining all the beauty you create when you are inspired!come on steve,you gonna get through this!if you ever need to talk,well...........arcturus
Situation's the same for me, traveled to a boring place this week for work; with people I have nothing in common with, can't stand it when I have to come here. Airplane home on Friday can't come too soon.
It's hot here, I'm grouchy. At least there's Internet in hotel lobby.
JJ
how depressing. Where's John nowadays anyway?
If you are knocking together any new material maybe it will come out with a metal edge to it due to your current proximity. You never know, they might be really nice guys who have been influenced you the likes of your good self....influences are a funny thing, no?
Speaking of which, I have obviously been a huge influence on Justin Timberlake as if you listen to his new song, Sexyback, you can hear that I get name checked in it! Just at the end of the chorus..
'....Come here girl, go head B. Bon with it'
'Come to the back, go head B. Bon with it' etc etc
Now really listen closely folks, and you'll hear it....it's not like you can avoid that song at the moment any way.
My reputation has spread far and wide, eh? Who knew?
Take it to the bridge!

My monday was pretty uninspiring too, until I got home and found a cardboard tube in my mailbox, containing a print of one "Absinthe" self portrait of a certain singer/songwriter/bassist/blogger extraordinaire. Now I'm inspired to make a trip to the frame shop!
Yikes, don't double scare me in one week. First yer gonna die then someone else has mebbe died. Is this the end for the Choich? Stay tuned. (P.S. I have the double grandfather, father curse on the year 59 so I related to yer previous blog).
Hi Steve,
I totally understand the '52nd year' that your father and grandfather has left you with. I entered my 23rd year with the same apprehension, however I turned that apprehension into a positive. I got married when I was 23 actually on my mothers birthday. That was over twenty years ago - it was a good omen.
A belated birthday wish - I truly hope that this year brings amazing gifts.
Dear Steve,
just letting you know that heaps of us choichers are worried about you and the guys.
Are you OK?

stick with it Steve.
Will be worth the torment once the church front up and ease our torment and our energy can erase what exists for u now.
maybe those yobbo's could be a support act? Put 'em in the carpark to remove those who may not really be at the gig to see You Marty et al and just wanna talk??
just an idea.
See you soon
ML,
don joe
Attn: davidcwelker. It sounds like you've got what it takes to be a metal front man!
Inspiration's not everything it's cracked up to be!
Hmm..I'm kinda jonesin for another post now..don't be uninspired too long!
so hard...finding etc etc....
This may not mean that much to you, but I'm really missing the daily post. Your words resonate with me and I love feeling the connection.
May you come back soon
and the cab driver says....
'is this where you live?'
'is this where you live?'
'is this where you live?'
Big Stevey,
Cheer up mate, come on - life is a bit p and down ya gotta roll with it. Like MattDivishion - don't be glum be a chum. You got a real lot - so cheer up boy.
Even the pissenger knows - it's got to be perfect. You and the boys just need to wrote another hit. Get back to basics and sell some records. It's not hard. Try putting the chords to UNguareded moment backwards - it will make you happy. And millions of people around the work.
Thanks mate,
Cheerup for all our sake, you are being selfish.
The truth is hidden in the eyes of those that cannot see. Your health is strong and you will find so much love and happiness around you every day - even the birds in the trees seem to whisper love if you listen. Take your sorrows and make them a smile. Turn your troubles inside out - you have great spiritualaty and blessing - it is obvious you are a great reincarnation - I beleve from Atlantis. This is a test the universe is putting before you - just keep your chin up and believe, only your beliefs can keep you in truth.
God is with you in every whisper of the morning.
Somethings missing today, I'm jonesin' real bad at the moment too for a few words....where art thou? Hope everythings ok.
Love
Amanda
Also, can you play Warm Oily Spell in your upcoming shows - I think it would be good for your karma and it is a real favoutie of mine. THanks.
P.S.
You're not being selfish for not writing a blog today like that nutcase above wrote!!! If you dont feel like it, so be it....(but we do miss you heaps).
Love
Amanda
SK will be back soon im sure. There's been a sad tragedy in one of the band member's families so please be understanding - they have a lot on their minds and plates at the moment.
"Keep your machine head up, ol plank spanker."
Love from all of us here at the Valley (Snake Valley, home of the Kilbey Commune).
PS: We have plenty organic Jazz n movement ana orchids annna mind-shafts to plumb the soul in parables of depths in space rocks so casually so melodiaclly dropped inna n inno a whole lotta liquid black for a splash a countin in seconds of disappearance beneath sun drenched heath.
Possum parables n Churchy reverences rule here n the valley with no fences n turkeys. Be free even when your not is to be breathless and free. The answer's in the trees, man, so many colours of green, so many to see. Thank you to the Kilb who created all this. The poss doth bless.
Jeez, you would think for being such an seemingly "enlightened" person with a successful artistic career(unless you were fucking it up yourself), that there would be more for you to write about than just about how other humans are expressing themselves in a manner you don't approve of. Would you rather they play some limp-wristed jangle-pop??
"spendin' their hard earned dough
on rehearsals n guitar pedals n beers n pizzas" hmmm, maybe scoring junk is a better investment??
"many are called
but
few are chosen
still you say
let em have their dreams
even if their dream is generating a loathesome row
in a rehearsal room in belmore
sure sure
dream on boys"
I still can't get over this... The Church has a long successful career in the music industry, with top 40 hits, sustained cult following, and full artistic control, and there is still room to complain over some dudes banging out tunes after work? You get to go home and write nonsense on the internet all day, they probably have to do something real like plumbing, fixing cars, making the power is on for the computer that you are typing nonsense on. What is next, when you reach heaven and are the puffy white clouds going to be a bit too soft for you? God, I like what you have done with the place but...
thanks, sue cee. my thoughts and prayers to the family and loved ones.
sk, tomorrow's a new day.
looking forward to your musings
whatever they may be
hope the clouds clear...
[burp]
fandorkin is a bore
sue cee,
thank you for letting us know, but now I am really worried.
My heart goes out to the boys and their families at this time.
We are thinking of you all.
much love,
Mary
sue cee,
thanks for the update. i'm really sorry to hear that. sending up burnt offerings for the guys...
ryan
Thanks for letting us know Sue Cee, of course all the good vibes are being sent in their general direction. Let us know if there is anything we can do!!
Cee in SF.
xox
Thanks for the info Sue - much appreciated. I've been worrying all day at work.
Love to you SK (& Marty, Peter & Tim).
Dave M
Oh no...I had a feeling it was as such.
Thank you so much, Sue, for the update.
The guys and their loved ones are in my prayers.
Peace to you all,
Ben V.
"Tim K."
BACK OFF, I think you've missed the point!!
weird, bloggie is at #2 today...
Probably not how you would've wanted it Orpheus, but there you go.
*heart*
Mary
Hope its all well
Im trying to understand somethings about people myself
a good friend, a needle, the damage done
the unbearable guilt, the suicide
the end for some
the new beginning for others
gosh everyone needs salvation
Its such a damn drag
hope its better
anywhere
the suffering is all around
I built this garden
for us
please dont complicate
its hard I know
bless yourselves
Love
jaime r.....
