return to england!

we'll be back in england once again next week.. hooray! we've got 4 shows this time, with 3 of them in LONDON of all places? the other show is on july 20th.. we'll be making another appearance at the latitude festival! loved it last year... i'm sure it'll be even better this year. george is going to stalk joanna newsome.(well probably all of us will) .. also look for quite a few local shows to spring up for us in august. i bet we'll play some baseball and basketball with our friends in august too! you're invited. whoever you are. EVERYONE is INVITED.

in other news.. tsp tv!!! i don't know what happened... a bunch of storms hit which brought snakes in our area, damaged our eyes and feet.. so we've been holding off trying to recover the past month. because of this we've lost all of our recording equipment we used for the episodes.. a value of $10,000... such bullshit! if we had $10,000 we would have just bought some new cameras and stuff but we don't so we played a couple shows in june around here and made enough money to BUILD new cameras.. anyway to make a long story short.. tsp tv is in operation once again!

i'm off to salvation army. look out for chaordic commons!!

A Week In England

we're flying back to london today for three u.k. dates...it's gonna be a fucking crazy week...manchester on the 15th at the ruby lounge....which i think might be some kind of strip club...is it? london on the 16th at club koko, which is where we partied after we signed with island and scared a certin nypc member away... oh and the ravonettes were supposed to play but they're not....which is sad....and last but not least, the great escape festival on the 17th, which looks very nice....and then back to detroit the next day....

hey download the record....it's dirt cheap!

Emma / Wash It Away lyrics

EMMA

Emma say that you need me

Ever so more discretely

Don't be too condescending

Whisper just what you're feeling




Before I go



Lay down in the green green grass

Hold up it's fallin fast

Emma this Is all in your hands

And the green grass

Emma do you feel it on you

Crawling up your little back to

Sit deep…inside your heart

Emma this is all for you…



WASH IT AWAY

What are you doin here

Im chasing death around

And each day I grow near

Is the best that I found

Im gonna wash you away

Im gonn a wash you away

And im happy to know

That I see what I think….is real

Im gon na wash you away



So let's take our best shot

And grow old in the dark

Till we've got nothing left

Then we'll sleep in the back

And I'm fucked anyway

And you're fucked anyway

So grab hold of his neck

And take a swing……



And then we'll wash it away

george



special thanks to ryan and diane for giving us there living room...

complain-space

yesterday i talked about my apple being gone (laptop) today I find my Ipod has been stolen from my car, this is not only horribley shitty but extremly funny...it was like one of you thousands of readers out there read my misfortune yesterday and decided to capitalize on me being down, it was probably the same reader who posted on a lolla chat room that we were the worst band ever assembled, so you found out where i lived and broke into my locked car and took my last piece of laughter and joy... I don’t care for you.

-Ryan

You Do your Hair in a Leak

Sitting in front of the ol’ computer trying to fill my computer with all the music I once had that has now up and evaporated from my white music book because (someone who remains nameless) (me I’ve been told) Spilled alcohol on my apple...

40 years ago if a man walked up to you and said "I’m in a horrible mood, everything that I’ve read, listened to and looked at is runied!" you would ask him what happened and he would reply "Somone spilled beer on my apple!" You would look at him like he has been reading to much Kurt Vonnegut... Has anyone heard any new albums that would make me feel better about my apple?

-Lenord Cohen is helping. Thanks Leo

March Madness!!

I have been stuck in front of the television set for the past 7 hours. Purdue looks great. Stanford looks dominating! What the hell was wrong with Kent State? I knew Temple couldn’t beat Michigan State.
Look for an Elite 8 consisting of...
North Carolina, Louisville, Kansas, Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Stanford, UCLA, and Purdue.
UCLA over Kansas in the championship!
I am never wrong when it comes to this, you know.

Some UK Tour Diaries from George

9/24- arrived in London today. Rough flight from l.a. Met Jeremy and Aaron at ignition, got in a big black bus with a broken table, and took off for Scotland. Not a bad ride. The country was beautiful and the game cube kept us entertained.

9/26- finished the two shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow. We stole Isobel Campbell and drank three bottles of wine with her…Aaron and I have started a wine show, the idea is to buy a bottle of wine in every city we go to and rate them…I’m sure it won’t last all tour but we will try our hardest…the last bottle was the best. The scores looked like this: Aaron-9 george-9 isobell-8 She was the Russian judge….

9/28- gave the nme a tour of Newcastle last night. Told them all about Aaron’s characters and about his new catch phrase….”THAT”S DAMN FABULOUS!” I think it’s quite catchy…Liverpool tonight…looking forward to that…think it’s war between us and operator please. There bus is in trouble….

9/30- fucking Manchester! Beautiful to be back here. Great show at the roadhouse …sold more shit then we have the whole tour…realized everyone hates Kate Nash except for me and Aaron…met up with Grace and Dave, the fairest man. Closed down big hands. Talked to the owner about a secret show….maybe…didn’t see penny. That was a bummer. We saw her a few nights ago though. She got a new watch….ended up sleeping in the bus…what a night!

10/5- been a bit messy the last few days…not really clear on where I am anymore. Saw Owen. Had a fun night out with him on our day off in Cardiff. At least I think it was fun. It’s a wonder we’re all still here…we all ended up in different places in Bangor, and all had to find people on the street to take us back to the travel lodge…almost got stabbed at the buffalo bar…don’t think we’ll be welcome there anytime soon…..fucking hell. I don’t even know where we’re going next…

10/8- had a good show at a fire station tonight…took off for London and met up with our good friend KT LEE, with whom we went to school together and now she lives in London. Fucking strange isn’t it. Been having good late nights with Zippy, and John, and Gav. One more show to go. The tour has been fucking great. Operator please are great sports. We’ve been fucking with their van non-stop…toothpaste, we put a fucking couch on it….oh and Gav plastic wrapped our posters all around the van. Fucking great…go team are great…we broke their Frisbee. Well Jeremy did. He threw it under a truck….so it goes

10/9 back to l.a. Tonight at five in the morning…no sleep….hopefully we make the plane….Ryan wouldn’t be very happy….oh new names look like this: GIGI GAV-tour manager SUPER JOE NEPTUNE-driver Pow-tweet…

is that enough...do you need more...i can make more...

george

On Tour!!

don't even know where i am right now. everybody is playing video games upstairs...manchester last night was fucking great...BIG HANDS!!!! i told the owner it was our favorite place on earth....and perhaps elsewhere...tour's been good so far...interesting bet with the go team's tour manager....gave the nme a tour of newcastle....oh had a nice write up in the nme also. they called us sludge-pop.... well more next time i can get to a computer george

Something to make the country grow

So since Glasgow I've kinda been in and out of this Serge Gainsbourg kick, he's very sly and french, which also makes me not trust him. haha But anyway he did a couple of songs with Brigitte Bardot.

I had know idea who she was besides hearing Bob Dylan say that she can help make our country grow: "It's President Kennedy calling me up/ He said, "My friend Bob, what'll it take to make the country grow?'/I said, 'My friend John, Brigitte Bardot...country'll grow.'" So now I've seen her and it's very clear she will help our country grow, check this out.....

TSP Quotes!!!!

ok thought i'd add a new thing to the myspace. this blog will be updated with new quotes when ever i hear them. ryan inspired me with the first.... "pants are harder to rip off than you would think" - ryan

Mass Riot

have never written in the Satin peaches Blog but I have never better to do then to write a bunch of bullshit, I am sitting in my garage drinking brandy and coke and smoking cigs, I don't even smoke, well I do when I drink but not any other time does that make me a smoker? Listening to Hail to the thief, probably one of the best albums ever made, soon we will be out of this shit town called commerce and can play shows everyday!!!! Does anyone agree that this place is one of the shitest places ever, I feel like I'm being punished when they send me back here haha I mean don't get me wrong I love Michigan it's one of the best states there are especially compared to the inbreeds to the south of us (cough ohio cough) also fuck the cavaliers by the way, and I know I'm not a good speller so don't get on my case about it, whatever, soon enough we will be able to play shows everyday and get back to meeting tons of great people on the road like we have already. hopefully I have some hair left on my head by the next time you see me. Love Ryan
