Opener ideas for our shows in Cleveland, Little Rock, Memphis and NOLA?

True story.

ShaolinLambKiller wrote:Yea they are instrument. if you have ever heard of the band Spickle from nola? I think they released 2 cds. Anyway it's ex members of that. sorta heavy jazz instrumental stuff. basically similar but doomier and louder.

And I usually have no interest in instrumental stuff but they won me over.

he'll I'd suggest my band but we don't have a following since we only started gigging and we aren't a proper match really.

Hell i got in shape and I didn't eat better, I easily ate fast food and cheap bullshit and just worked out and lost weight and gained muscle. It's about dedicated the time to do so or at least in my experience it is. I only started eating better as in just cut out all the garbage later on. Still eat on the cheap but you can still eat healthy on that cheap.

Sorry it just all sounds like excuses to me otherwise.

Something like this would need a qualifier because you sample size is n = 1 and its anecdotal.

That is the place to start.

seriously though, I kinda wonder what the entirety of the poverty you experienced was.
Rural and urban poverty can be identical financialy and vary wildly with lifestyle that goes along with it. Region can also play a major role in how people behave when in a low financial bracket.

An example that most have probably seen would be the two brothers that live in a shack in the swamp on "Swamp People" They have no jobs, no real income to speak of, spend their time foraging, hunting and fishing.
They would certainly qualify at the bottom level of poverty, but their diet and lifestyle keep them very fit.
contrast that with an inner city single parent who was raised by a single parent, and the likely hood of mcdonalds being the main course goes way up.

There is hope though. the communal urban gardening movement is a great thing, as well as a resurgance of civic pride in some of the worst city's like Detroit. (I base that solely on the Anthony Bourdain show that featured Detroit) Having a local sourced foody culture like here in the PNW can't be a bad thing either. neighborhood farmers markets, micro farms, rooftop gardens. All growing trends that have a positive benefit and are not exclusive to higher incomes. they just take some effort.
There was a meme going around last week that asked why kids are not taught how to garden in schools. I think that would be a HUGE benefit to the national health. I know I am way more likely to eat veggies that came from my own garden.

Grant from In the Company of Serpents explained some of the logistics and it seems like a good idea. He said (and I think this is coming from his/a CPA) that if you file as a musician, you can write off albums that you buy as job-related research. It also probably depends on whether or not a slight boost to your gross income would bump you into a higher tax bracket.

Also, RE: obesity, Phil (the other guitar/vox guy in Khemmis) and I are both PhD students in sociology, and he focuses on health/life outcomes. He just published a paper that considers context effects on reported life satisfaction and obesity. Neat stuff! - http://www.colorado.edu/news/multimedia ... -one-lives

Right on. I will probably just ignore that bit since there is very little possibility of this thing impacting my income in a noticeable way.

Cool that you are studying sociology. I will have to check out his paper

Also, I'm probably going to start calling you Dr. Doom.

Sorry that shit just isn't going to happen. Nick, I have no idea what you are even attempting to show me in the link but yea, that's not worth my time either. Take it or leave it doesn't matter which since well it's a message board of sharing opinions.
