10 reasons why I love TaiyedBrodels

Yeah. I decided to try and see if I can write something half-understandable in english, so this is it. It’s worth a try to talk about this place, since I spend so much time here.

Jordan’s been talking lately about how we don’t have many new members at the forums, and it’s just not right. Personally, I think this is such a great place to be, and that we should have more people registering, so I’m writing ten reasons why I still hang out at TB (maybe we could rename this to “10 reasons why I haven’t left TB”… it’s the same).

Why I love TB

It’s not really that special, we just seem to like it.

1.

Fatlip’s dick pictures: the fact that I can’t find any of them, makes me feel alright.

2.

Everyone’s inner crybaby: You will be hated 24/7 by most of the TB members, but you leave the forums for like a week, and everyone’s crying for you to come back; that is, unless you’re Sayzak, but that’s another story.

3.

Alt. accounts: if you don’t know what’s going on, you’re actually well informed.

4.

It’s decadent: It’s like 4chan, without the mudkip jokes.

5.

The endless quest for n00dz: IGW is like the Willy Coyote of TB, and everyone seem to enjoy it.

6.

Luke: yes, you read right. Without him, TB would taste like… chicken.

7.

The taste in music: it’s fucking superior. No, really.

8.

Drunk posts: we all know they’re fake, but we still “fall” for them.

9.

It’s one of the sites on the internet: ’cause we’re too lazy to come up with another motto.

10.

It’s 311 related: yeah, we… uhh.. like 311.

Hello world!

First Taiyed Brodels post on the new blog software.

New Hosting

The site has switched to a new server, at the same host. But we now have more bandwidth, and storage space. I’m planning to start a 311 wallpaper page, and we can host music and stuff too. Comment with ideas.

311.com Update

New “Happenings” page over at 311.com. Check it out.

p.s. The views expressed by some of the bloggers on this site do not necessarily coincide with the views of the rest of the Taiyed Brodels community.

False Alarm Folks

I was wrong. Never take into account what someone from Alien Ant Farm says.

Offical statement from Nickoli:

Quote:
First of all, Chad, P-Nut, Tim, and SA are all working with other musicians on recreational side projects. I believe Chad is only mixing other bands but everyone else is playing with other musicians for fun. If they want to discuss it, that’s their business. We ALL also have businesses that we do on the side. Again, if they want to discuss their business endeavors, they can do it themselves.Everyone is feeling great about the band right now and we’ve just been enjoying some time off.

311 will continue to be our #1 priority.

When I start to lose my inspiration I get it going again by figuring out and covering great songs just for fun. I have quite a few of these. Many are Hexum Brother songs that we did on our Kerry supporting tour and then we recorded five or six just to have them for posterity. (Clash, Beatles, Smiths…) On my own, I’ve covered jazz standards made famous by Nat King Cole, Chet Baker, and others. It’s like I’m continuing my education. The chord progressions in those songs are so advanced. It’s like an author reading Shakespeare to get new ideas.

I had Mike from AAF come in and lay some reggae beats for a few songs. No “solo release” is planned. He and I didn’t really discuss why we were doing it except, “that’ll be fun.” We are also both very passionate about environmental issues.

I am interested in raising money and awareness for global warming. I would be interested in using some of these COVERS for a fund raiser album.

Music is my hobby and if I’m not working on 311 most of the things I like to do for fun are musical. I produced and played on forthcoming albums from Pepper and The Matches. I like to make mix cds and do covers my old favorites.

My original material will continue to be released exclusively through collaboration with my brothers in 311.

I envision 311 continuing to record and tour for a very long time.

Positively,

Nick

Nick Hexum’s Solo Album??

Who would’ve known, that under all the liberal gushing, all the forced dance moves and the hair gel would come a solo album from our beloved Nick Hexum.

Apprently, Mike Cosgrove of Alien Ant Farm will be drumming on this album, and he seemingly spilled the beans to all of us on his MySpace blog.

Friday, June 02, 2006 311 <3 AAFso i just finished playing drums on 6 songs for nick hexum’s upcoming solo release.. chad sexton is mixing the rivalry record i produced earlier this year, due out this summer.. gotta say it was a lotta fun and is a total honor to work w heroes!! i have been a 311 fan for a LONG time now.. and so have heaps of other peeps!

workin w nick was dope cuz, we got to take some old jazz standards (i remember you/chet baker, Sweet Lorraine/nat king cole) and some other 80’s tunes too, and gave them a bit of a reggae feel.. hex style.. it was a lot make em fresh and new , but still keeping the age old classics alive.. it’s good for them youths!

now chad sexton has been and will be one of my personal heroes from when i first heard him til forever! he was one of the people that made me go huh?? , he played that snare shit like a marching drummer, but it grooved!!!?!??!’ wtf!! i was a ghetto kid, in the gutter , feelin like damn, i shoulda never dropped out of high school!! i shoulda been in the gay band, instead my gay garage bands w dryden!! he’s very disciplined, extremely well versed in music and audio. much more than the average stoner you may be accustomed to.. such as myself! he is one of the cleanest and precise players i’ve witnessed up close, night in night out.. class act.

so enough of my gushing.. the reason i’m mentioning him is because i’m excited and honored to be working w him on this rivalry record. i’m very proud of the music the band and i completed. i think chad is gonna give it big balls w some dirt underneath!! no release date yet…

new ant farm record ‘up in the attic’ is on itunes! wee!!

The release date, the name of the album, and the tracklist of the album are all up to speculation. Draw your own conclusions.
