pancakes and muffins and music!

Actually i was supposed to get there today but i the pancakes i had this morning were so incredible that i decided to spend another night here so i could eat them again tomorrow. I feel a little bad because Tony and Turbo are out there somewhere maybe possibly probably not waiting for me to save them but i mean if you ate these pancakes you would totally know where i am coming from because oh man they taste so great it's like they are the most perfect pancakes you have ever eaten.

Maybe it's that i haven't eaten pancakes in a while, i'm not sure. It's a possibility, for sure, but also they have muffins here and i had a choc chip one with my lunch today and that was fantastic too and i think i may have found the perfect place for getting away from the world for a little while. It's called 'Morning Bell' and i jotted the name down on a new list i started only today in my notebook and the list is called 'Places i totally have to go to again'

So the owner of the place, Elliott, was telling me that he used to play for a band and they toured the states and lost a drummer to drugs before finding another one they lost to a crazy kama sutra expert groupie and then they just got a drum track that played through a computer which ended up short cicuiting mid gig and repeating a section of a sound sample from the start of one of their tracks so they were left being booed by the crowd while the speakers kept on saying 'alone in the dreamer's pocket' over and over again so they ditched drums altogether and recorded an acoustic album and it actually did really well for a little while but they missed the rock and roll lifestyle, so they found a semi permanent drummer and recorded an experimental album full of concepts and ideas that flopped hard because everyone said it was too drums heavy which resulted in the bass player getting into an argument with the drummer which in turn resulted in the drummer breaking his lucky right leg and by that time everyone thought it was probably time to pack it up anyway.

Elliott played me a song from the last album called 'a dreamer dreaming the dreamer's dreams' and i actually found it really cool and i told him and he gave me an album for free because it turns out he has lots of them. It's totally awesome!!!

One of these days i really have to join a band and go touring! Maybe i can try and slot that in somewhere before the becoming a detective part.

But what sort of music do i want to play? Food for thought, i think!

Blake out.
