Minnie Irwin

Minnie Irwin checks my bed for crocodiles and alligators every night.

St. Patties day

Yesterday we played a show with Checkmate, Torpedo Darlings, Brooks Strause and Beat Strings in Cedar Falls for St. Patricks day. It was nuts. Here's what the people had to say;

"Bar Police Strobe Show.
it was like a white zombie video during MLIW.
the flashlights were swingin'
the only thing i could think was white zombie. MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN!"

"new MLIW tunes are really good. Reverb Cody's face after DEADRAMONES was hilarious. he looked so angry and ran his finger across his throat to tell jeff eaton that they were done."

"MLIW's new shit is way sweet.
my legs got crushed into the stage during that whole show..
I sucked Jeff's cock for 30 seconds."

"I think i saw the frog punch matt gerstandt in the face during mliw, can anyone confirm"

"there was a man in a leather coat. I am going to guess and say he had black pants fairly short haircut and maybe a goatee? does anyone know who this man is. he walked up to observe mliw and stood right by me. he had a drink in his hand. he started spitting on the people who were performing in the white zombie light show. this was excellent. He looked very bad ass. then he walked back in the direction of the bar. he came back a little bit later with one other man. they ran up to the stage and did a quick little stage dive thing. this could have been god."

All the bands were amazing with my personal favorite being Brooks Strause. I love that man. This was one of the most fun nights in a long time.


Other news: we got all the songs for the new record done. expect 11 ragers. We're leaving M'town for a shirt tour on the way to Baltimore where we're recording. I will try to keep some kind of studio report going on here but you know how that goes. After recording we're going straight into what is sure to be this year's most interesting tourpackage. I will post it as soon as it gets announced, get siked.

oh, before I forget... Over the last few years there has been about 5 different unauthorized Modern Life Is War pages on myspace. Which is alright but the tourdates and information were never posted or kept up to date, so now we have an official fansite page. www.myspace.com/modernlifeiswar add us if you are into it. We are not running the page so don’t attempt to contact us through that. You can always hit us up on email modernlifeiswar@yahoo.com

Hey Chalie

We're all working hard trying to get this record done in time so I kinda forgot to updat this. Last week I had my friends Ivo and Pieter over for a week and we didn't do much besides eating and drinking haha. It was great! Ivo celebrated his 30th birthday here with 40's and a cake with 20 something candles to make him feel good. Minni was so excited we had euro's visiting she decided to dress up.

More books I bought recently:
Petronius - Satyricon
T.S. Eliot - Wasteland
Gustav Flaubert - Sentimental Education
Marcel Proust - Swann's Way
Oscar Wilde - The Picture Of Dorian Gray
Hemmingway - For Whom The Bells Toll
Various - Classic American Short Stories. This one has stories by Hemmingway, Henry James, Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Herman Melville, William Faulkner and way more.
