History of the Hudson Debacle
This is easy...
Jeff started playing keyboard and bass and guitar in about 1982, where he started writing songs.
Xavi, as a youngster, starts playing piano. (Dave did too, but didn't stick with it)
In 1991, Jeff played bass in the Kalamazoo-based rockband, Overman, where he wrote and performed the song "Tomorrow", now on the Debacle's first CD, titled "Stupid Tomorrow".
Dave briefly takes guitar lessons with then Thought Industry star, Paul Enzio. Lessons are short-lived.
In the mid nineties, Chris plays bass in the band Sodlid, learning many of the hot chops he'll use later in the Debacle.
Somewhere in the late nineties Xavi's girlfriend at the time sharves her head, and seems she won't date any more men.
For Dave's birthday, Jeff gets him a used 12-string guitar, and Dave begins playing.
On Dave's (30th?) birthday party in 1998, Chris and Dave and Jeff were sitting around and Chris said "I should buy a drumset and we can start a band".
Dave starts buying lots of guitars, amps, recording gear, pedals, pods, boards, chords, etc.,
In mid-1999, Jeff accounces to Dave that he'll get a drumset by January of 2000 so that they can start a band.
In January of 2000, Jeff buys a drum set.
In February, Jeff, Dave, and Chris begin practicing as a new rock band in Chris' basement. The first songs learned include Lionelle Ritchie's "Hello", a cover of the Pegboy song "Strong Reaction", a cover of Scruffy the Cat's "The Moons fo Jupiter", and some originals such as "Tomorrow", "Daddy Drinks because you Cry", and "Planet Earth Ejector Seat".
Dave starts thinking up sone names, including:
- Trouserschnauzer
- 2 buck zither
- Ass Hammer
- Wrong
- Stinkertoy
- Skinbat
- Used Banjo Skin
- Dick Snikker
- Gravel Axe
- Ass Porno
- The Pe-nus-kateers
- Chile Bag
- Famous Anus
- Jeff's Mortgage
- 2 Bit Whore
- Flatulizer
- Gasoline Rainbow
- Beck
- Mother's at fullback
- SlapJack and the Wussies'
- The Stadium Rock Riffers
- Toneless
- The 4 40's
Around May or so, Xavi joins the band on keyboards.
Within months, Xavi buys a keyboard.
The debacle learns more songs, like "Your Drunk Drunk Secretary" and "Sad Berlin" and "The Man with No Feet".
Around July or so, the band names itself "The Hudson Debacle", largely because they practice on Hudson street (little did they know that they would eventually practice at the "Allied Screw and Bolt" building.
In August, Jeff buys a condo.
The debacle learns more songs, like "Crazy Chick (crimes of the dancefloor makeout artist)", and "the Hospital in the Ocean".
Chris finishes school and takes a job at NorthEastern.
On October 10, 2000, the Debacle plays at a party in Chris's basement. Police break up the set during the last song.
Amazingly soon after, the Debacle play the Middle East on November 9th. We open for Caustic Resin and the Beatings.
On February 9, we play the Milky Way in JP, with Science Park and Euphonic.
On March 14, we play the Sky Bar with the Colorforms. We play there again on July 28 with them again and the Doom Buggies.
In April of 2001 or so, we move out of Chris' basement and into a practice space in the South End.
Around June or July, we begin recording our first record with Jere Faison and his Infinity Studio, also located in the South End. We finish in about 50 hours, over a few weeks.
We start, around August, learning new songs for the next record.
In September, two planes crash into the world trade center in NYC, killing thousands.
October, Jeff is layed off from work.
Some new songs, "lost in a parking lot", "Fantastic Asshole" and others.
In December of 2001, the Debacle moves its practice area to Xavi's house. We soundproof. Dave is layed off from work as well.
Icecream and Stupid Saturday are written.
February of 2002 the band decides to press its CD. Jeff and Dave are rehired at thier old jobs.
March 2002 the CD is released, and the website is launched.
We do a modest booking campaign, but get booked at TTs and 608 all the same.
A bad review, or only review, is published in Boston landmark the Noise.
We play at TTs for a nice crowd.
We write other songs, like "how to fight a girl", and "fuck fuck fuck fuck", and "Rockmen to a Far away nowhere".
Chris mistakenly reads a "honey dew" sign to read "monkey oven"
At the very end we write "Stumblebaby" and "Overeducated drunks"
The 608 is our last show, and we take our stuff home after that, because the band is done.
Jeff finishes the cover art for the new CD and it might get pressed.....
Get the CD

everything is enchanted. enchantment is the more melodic synonym of entropic gravity touching closer to its etheric nature as you see it takes the cemetary out of the song in essence linguistically. take, for example, my radio. it's an inexpensive cd player and am/fm model with no tape player and no clock- i had the option to let my mom get me a pricier model because it was a birthday gift but the other model was unaesthetic. the brand name printed on it demanded attention. this little guy doesn't ask me to look at it. after my mom bought it for me i gave it back then bought it off her, which sounds like nonsense maybe but thats what i had to do for it to be mine. now its in my aparment sitting on the microwave, plugged into the wall (the radio is, not the microwave), but i never use it, nor do i intend to. i never turn it on. i don't own any cds and i'm not interested in the radio stations. it's just important, for some reason, that that thing is there. it's existence and presence in my apartment in and of itself is the manifested expression of the radio station i'm listening to, the radio, at least that part of it that is there merely to act as a mental reference point to the radio, to itself, to the essence of the here and now that is the true raw nature of time as it would otherwise be forgotten in the false context of memory. there is no music that is richer than this. there is no signal stronger than silence as all sound is contained within it. everything is enchanted by silence. the strength of an existences enchantment is measured by the strength of its silence. this is true for all of existence including within the context of music as expressed in the wake of silence.

there's obviously a direct connection between time travel and the dimensions. when a person time travels the first thing that happens is that they effectively erase their original timeline, so there has to be somewhere for te traveller to be wen their originating timeline is gone, and that is the dimensions/dimensional existance, which is the same as the place refered to as the other side, which is accessable by degree of indisposal to physicality, of course. it i by order of the cessation of interest in the expression of the local timeline that the traveller is imparted visibility within this field, and this process may be expressed in varying degrees of speed. the traveller for example may wish to sift bulk from their observed expression or to purge it, perhaps in haste, which would lengthen the process, as more bulk would then be created while attempting to escape entropic gravity which no one can do on the other side or on this one.

in response to "black lentil"'s prattle about sporky:
dude, how are you going to say that it's SAD that a kid named after a plastic fork and spoon combination i ate parfaits from kentucky fried chicken with when i was the same age he was when we were both on the farm does better growing up in the mainstream, using a username that's just a ripoff of kira's, and an incoherent one at that, and expect to be taken seriously? i mean, by anyone intelligent, obviously you succeeded in shutting down the thread and making a spectacle of hipforums moderatorship, but that's beside the point. or is it. heh. nevermind. good job genius.

Revel: (clears throat) Everyone (in the context of this dicussion) IS Arol, and everyone else here for that matter. You ARE a weak masochistic conceited bitch, and a failure at life. I AM intelligent and confident enough not to bother wasting my time either advising or commanding you to "get some class" as I DO recognize the boundary between my responsibility and yours, and that IS the reality you have to face every day of your life, waking or sleeping. I AM the winner of that and any other existing argument for that matter, and I AM at this moment as these words are spoken, a better zendik than you, a better man than you, and a better person than you, BECAUSE my response to life is YES, to knowing that the one bearing the devils advocate excuse is the fool, the martyr, the retard, and the loser, being yourself, in that matter, of course. Cheers (to me). Blan.

god IS us, and wether or not i care about you doesn't need to be ADVERTISED. this dilema is the foundation of the zendik cult, which is founded and led psychically by me simply because i bear that name, and am conscious of it's fallacy, and THAT's what's behind zendik. That's the whole thing.
