Last night's practice consisted of setting our gear back up, warming up on Justice for the Unjust, and jamming badly on several atonal themes. None of us except Phil seemed very motivated to play. Afterwards we went to Taco Bell. It was the last night they had bean burrito and crunchy taco combos for 98 cents. We ordered four of them.

In addition to Dirtbike I'm in a Rage Against the Machine cover band. Our first gig is on February 20th at Brick by Brick, one of the few places in town I haven't played yet. The last time I was there I saw Fantomas. We talked with the opening DJ after the show and when we went outside to smoke he took my friend Dominic backstage and introduced him to Mike Patton and the rest of the band.

The main riff in Justice for the Unjust was written by Dominic several years ago when we were in a band called the Crotchety Nevilles. He wasn't doing anything with it so I lifted it verbatim and built a new song around it. There's probably some sort of Karmic-synchronistic-retribution going on here but I'm to tired to think about it right now.
