The Used

We're going to start blogging at theused.net instead of here

2009-01-23T12:15:00.000-08:00

So we're going to start doing our blog at theused.net rather then at our blog spot. The reason for that? It's easier for us and we want to be as involved with our website as much as we are with our myspace (which is a shitload). So come to theused.net because it's more personal and its way cooler and there's stuff to look at there. taters

Honky Tonkin in the USA and some other stuff we've been doin and so on and so on and so on and how long can this headline be damn pretty long thats it

So today Quinn and I went to this place called ADI and they do special effects for movies and stuff. Why did we go there? Well.......for the DVD were doing this awesome thing (that I'm not gonna tell you about until we start production on it) but it required both Quinn and I to have our heads casted. It was crazy becasue they put this weird paste all over our heads and then put a cast around that and then we had to sit there for about ten minutes covered in this shit until it hardened. It was kinda scary just because it was hard breathe and we couldn't hear anything but it all worked out great. Now we're back in the studio and there are only THREE MORE DAYS AND THIS ALBUM WILL BE DONE!!! Then we start mixing in February as well as shoot this special DVD business stuff shit. This year is going to be fuckin great and we're so excited to share our experiences and journeys with all of you.

We as Jephas band mates and friends would like to give our most sincere and deepest penetration and Happy birthday shout out to our very own Mr. Jepha Howard. Happy Birthday you son of a bitch!!!!! (no offense to Jephas mom) it has nothing to do with Jephas mom I mean it's just a saying for fuck sakes god give us a break. Jepha will never read this... at least not for a while because he's acting all cool in Japan, He's like oh look at me I'm Jepha and I'm in Japan and you're in Utah freezing your ass off. fuck you jepha that was rude that you made me think that you were thinking all that shit I just wrote!!! Party on you guys... Love The Useddddddddd

So lately we have been writing music and going over some of our new songs that we want to change a bit. After Christmas we're going to start mixing the record and we'll probably record 2 or 3 more jimmy jammers because that's how we dooo. Other then that we've been scooting around L.A. neighborhoods, poppin wheelies down Sunset blvd. and getting in to bar fights. So yeah thats about it. Things are still going great and when you all hear this new album you will say to yourself damn this is a great record i really really do like it a looot.

Heads Up

2008-11-25T16:45:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone, We're just putting the finishing touches up on our new album it should be out early 2009. We love what we have recorded and we know that all of you will love it too. In my opinion Bert has gone above and beyond with his lyrics. I listen to the mixes everyday and I'm blown away by his amazing lyrics. I think that we have all done a great job on this album and I can't wait for all of you to hear it.

We're planning on touring early early 09 before the record is out. We should be hitting the entire U.S. and then after that we'll come see the rest of you all over the world. We miss all you Motha Fuckas and can't wait to come rock you like you rockers deserve to get rocked. Smell ya soon, Dan

It is truly is an amazing day in our lives to move forward in this country. I know its allover everywhere but i'm just so happy to see our nation get up and elect the right person for once and because hes the right person, not out of fear or traditions. Theres this glow to everything today in peoples faces and in the air. I like it. I'm proud to be an American today.

PeanutButter and Jelly rap

2008-11-03T15:42:00.001-08:00

Once upon a midsummer nights tour we were stopped in Oklahoma for about 6 hours to shower and ended up bussin rhymes with captain peanutbutter and jelly. I've been looking through all my old videos and i'm gonna start uploading everything. Bert and I went to the Rise Against/Thrice/Alkaline Trio show last night at the Palladium it was awesome. The wine and the bands were fabulous.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I worked through the afternoon on my dog Stella's costume she's going as an alien to match my Fox Mulder costume, I'm hoping it works out. don't worry i'll post some pictures. okay so WTF! does anybody watch celebrity rehab with dr drew? its the best show ever. I love Gary Bussey, he's a fucking FREAK! "my sobriety is safe, ~it is good~" Steven Adler is awesome too, hes like the future me. hehe So i got to thinking about tour(i'm always thinking about tour) and about what bands would be good to tour with and all this other stuff.

Contagious

2008-10-28T13:19:00.001-07:00

Contagious
A Teacher asked her class of seven year olds if anyone could explain the meaning of the word contagious.

Little Shannon put her hand in the air and says "When I was five I had chickenpox and had to stay at home because the doctor told my mother chickenpox was contagious."

The teacher replied "Yes Shannon that is a very good example well done."

Then young Daniel put his hand in the air and said "My next door neighbor was painting the outside of her house with a 2 inch paintbrush and my dad said that it will take the contagious!"

hung out at the practice space, recorded about 8 loops on my laptop and
now i'm cutting them down for Dan to lay drums to "via email" .
I'm eating all the Halloween candy I bought last week.
K i'm just tired and should be sleeping on the couch by now. I'm gonna watch American Pimp and go to bed, if you havent heard the Pimpology recited in this movie.."you havent lived" so says the sweaty nervous Video Hut employee last night. I'm so sick of the fucking election. Fuck it. everyone should watch Zeitgeist it will change the way you look at all this shit for the better.

BOO! I got my pumpkins today, a fat one and a skinny one i guess you could say Bert and Ernie..hehe. I'm going to be Fox Mulder from XFiles for Halloween but David Duchovny is way better as Hank Moody on Californication. I love that show. So i've been chillin out mostly lately, riding my scooter around and working on some jammies here and there. Saw my good friend CW the other day who some of you might know, he followed and filmed us around during the making of Lies 4theLiars and then out on tour. We drove around in his Lincoln and talked about our ideas and caught up with eachothers lives now, its been a while since he and I really hung out. Did anyone watch SNL last night? fuckin A Coldplay sounded great! i really enjoyed it. btw I love Amy Poehler and Wil Forte and Kristen Wiig. they are the best part of that show now, i can't stand Keenan or whatever his name is...i cringe everytime his head pops up on there. OH YEAH! so the videolink we posted about 2 posts ago with instudio action got so much traffic that it crashed dudes server, we should have a new link soon and some more clips, i'm going through about 30 tapes right now, we have about 100... : ) I'm currently listening to Dntel "Last Songs" feeling good as it gets blue outside. .. . ..

My Favorite Idol

2008-10-24T18:07:00.000-07:00

awww...poor Mary Gilbeaux...I was in traffic today and for some reason i started to remember this girl from American Idol that I absolutely adored and how dumb Simon was for thinking she couldnt sing. I remember watching it with my roommates when it aired. After a half hour of searching i found it...enjoy.

first bloggie blog

2008-10-21T09:57:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, Used fans! I know its a little late in the game to be starten bloggen but whatevs right? just about every lamo i meet is either a blogger or a dj or both and since you're reading this its fair to say were lamo lame (i know we suck big ) take em to the chorus... Things are actually great right now, weve got around 18 songs recorded with music and 10 finished with vocals. Berts headed to the studio tonight to drop some more knowledge. We've had so much fun recording this album, taking it easy and creating new sounds and ideas. Alot more abrasive stuff and darker imagery. As some of you might know we're working with a new producer this time around and its been a great new step for us. His name is Matt Squire, he's one hell of a jewbe i tell ya. just google this schmoog and you'll see he's knee deep in shit we call rock and roll. he rocks and rolls and rides the fadaz drrty. *as a side note-Matt has been very patient with our difunctionality and we appreciate it buddy.

So what else...EVERYTHING. This year has been a big one for us. After being kicked around and "used" by a lot of people in the industry for a long time who I wont name, we have a new family helping us move forward and make what happens in vegas. We're blessed to have great people surrounding us and supporting us, we can't wait for you to hear our new jimmys.

Jeph and Dan are in Utah, Bert and I are in Cali baby. I'm working everyday on new ideas, emailing them to D and then he'll overdub electric drums on them and send em back. Its a cool process were getting "used" to. Garageband is fun, am I right ladies? okay if i don't end this i'll start rambling...keep checkin back, i hope to update everyday or other day. Taketh care and fuck voting. just kidding but seriously fuck voting. not really. -Quinn
