Hmmm ... five years since last blog post— TEAM SPIDER NEWS!

Team Spider continues its indefinite hiatus, starting Circa 2008- but stuff has been a brew... An invitation to Play Tompkins Square Park 30th Anniversary of the Police Riots, seems to have kicked off a potential chain reaction of events, that may snow ball... but either way has brought some joy and appreciation of people who we have impacted the lives of and their desire to show some love to TEAM SPIDER and light a lotta bit of fire under our butts. One event was some homeless street kids pulling me KRiS aside on the sidewalk to sit., slog a dirty 40oz. And bust out some Team spider songs on a strangely tuned acoustic after they saw me hanging in C-SQUAT / Morus space. Turns out they were “live streaming”- and it was impromptu dubbed “team spider tv 2.0”. —- which may happen again... I’ve got some ideas ( more ideas than time as per usual - but I’m feeling the love so what is a better motivator ?) This resulted in an offer to do a split record w/ one of the street squatting kids band’s, the Comrades - guess they’ll change their sponge sign from “money for booze” to “money for vinyl printing” - but I’ve learned not to underestimate the power of people who are more apt than most to survive the apocalypse ( real apocalypse, not “L-pocalyse” as the papers have dubbed the upcoming L train shutdown to Brooklyn—. I don’t think anything that can be solved with a bike really qualifies as an apocalypse...) *gotta stop watering down these terms folks, nazi has already been hollowed out to the point of harmless thanks virtue signal typewriter monkeys... Anyhow, this has led to an offer for a acoustic show in the summer2019 on Tompkins... to which I replied “pencil me in” as its hard for me to commit to anything right now- but chances are I’ll pull something out of my keister - hopefully not a prison shank. And in minor hilarity / odd communications news, Jon from the band the Comrades began randomly sending me 3 minute messenger voice mails that appear to be him just playing guitar riffs—. After a while I just finally replied with a guitar rock out ( that resulted in a call from the neighbors )... apparently the FBI I mean agent suckerBerg only allows 3 minutes max.. so there are no painful greatful dead jams, but we have been continuing this riff’ersation for a while now— and maybe it will result in some avant- garde album or at least get me to write some new Team Soider songs. My 6 yr old is teaching me piano, so expect some bohemian rhapsody sequel ska core metal. ( funny recent total recall;, my 7th grade music teacher, used Queen’s “News 0f the World” album to teach us some theory/ clap / rest exercises, AND he also used to cane me with a dowel rod when I got out of line. Resulting in either welts on my ass, or black and blue knuckles if I threw a desperate and blind behind the back block manu er to ( literally ) save my a$$— Mr Evans, Wyoming Valley West middle school,  mining town Plymouth Pennsylvania, in a school whose pool drained in to a subsiding mineshaft thanksfully not taking any welted ass prepubescents with it,  he was oddly ahead of his time and yet still regressively barbaric, but looking back I appreciate his impact in my life)... That all said, I’ve been inspired to maybe make an appearance on our YouTube channel ( YouTube.com/teamspider ) which barely hosts any of our hard work as we were a hair ahead of our time outlet-wise and winding down our public access tv bike punk minor celebrity/ reality show / web channel ways JUST AS YouTube was starting to appear... ( circa 2005 ) so perhaps I will find some time to web cam or live stream myself & whoever is available ( alive) to introduce some old pieces, and in a bizarre time warp make the young versions of ourselves ( except Zak, he’s always old like Jim Morison and James Dean are forever young ) YouTube stars... Maybe not, sounds like a lot of work - about 10000 times harder than starting a bandcamp page- which we still haven’t done but people are asking us to - at LEAST to hear some music if not Fund Raise for a new record ( yikes )— we’ll see. Either way .. 2019 sounds exciting, and I look forward to you ( I’m assuming only ONE person @best reads this blog) .. joining us
