We need a little help from our friends (that’s you!)
Happy Monday! Here’s a present, Buddyhead readers: The Verve just posted a new “non-album” track on their website called “Mover.” Click here to download it from them, or skip that horse shit and download it from us below. Either way, you win.
I wasn’t too impressed with the slightly dorky, sample-heavy single they thew out on the internet last week, “Love Is Noise”. But I can’t complain because I’m glad to have them back together. Plus, since I’m the one who actually got the band back together via “The Secret” I’m taking full responsibility for this one. So here is your new guitar-based Verve track “Mover,” which might not blow minds, but destroys that other single. At least we know Richard still “can’t sleep at night.” (Yo dude, it might be the cocaine.) Thankfully, he isn’t gotten arrested for trying to work with the children while he’s way too high lately…
Buddyhead needs a little help from our friends….. that means you talented people!
As I mentioned a little while ago, we once again have something of a staff here at Buddyhead. Some of them are old school names you might remember from the classic days, like Nate Cavalieri, and some are fresh and exciting new ones, like Meathead and Sonny from GSL. We’re going to start putting together monthly, bi-monthly or whenever-the-fuck we-feel-like-it “issues” of Buddyhead, kinda like we used to do back in the day. Yes, we’re building a time machine. In addition to a bunch of features and interviews, we’re gonna give you, the way-back readers of Ye Olde Head, what you’ve been asking for: Gossip. (Cue soaking of panties and popping of nerd boners.)
Since love is a two way street, here’s where you come in: We’re recruiting foot soldiers in the multi-media empire of tomorrow. Particularly, we’re seeking the following.
– People who shoot, edit or produce video
– Web designers
– Accounting and record label managers (Fred’s heading back to France)
– Rock journalists with good taste
– Someone to sells internet ads
– People who can make fine baked goods, who want to promote events, who do odd jobs (like groom the hair around Aaron’s weenie) and who love music, art, film, cool shit and like to write about it.
If you read the above and think “Shit, they’re talking about ME!” send an email to nate@buddyhead.com, and copy travis@buddyhead.com and meathead@buddyhead.com. Explain why you wanna work for Budyhead for free, what you think you can offer and some samples of your work. We don’t even have money to pay ourselves at this point, so if you’re looking for a paycheck, look elsewhere. Hopefully this comes off the right way: the vibe we’re going for is PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) and we want to be very up front and make sure all possible helpers know about our financial situation: its a kinda scrappy now, but we’re sure to lighting cigars with burning C-notes in the days to come.
Ok…. now I gotta go fill out insurance forms. Party time.
Love,
Travis

[…] visited Buddyhead in a while - god forbid that you forget, it looks like they’re in need of a few new hands: Since love is a two way street, here’s where you come in: We’re recruiting foot soldiers in […]

Travis - that Verve track is an oldie, from the Urban Hymns period at least, though this version is way cleaner than the one I have. Still better than the new single! As long as they tour the US and wail on some Storm In Heaven tracks, I’ll be happy.

If you are talented, wanna work fro free and aren’t a psycho I’ll write you back… NO MORE PSYCHOS, we’re all full up on those. Only talented, driven, positive, non-crazy, fun people allowed to hang.
July 1st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Don’t knock on the crazies, some of them know how to get stuff done.
July 1st, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Damn it, if I was talented, driven, positive, willing to work for free and not a Psycho then I would have had a chance.
July 1st, 2008 at 2:12 pm
word up!
July 1st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
hmmm I am outta here.. later….
thanks for the insult
July 1st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Haha! Always scoring with the ladies, Travis.
Speaking of, found that single you wanted. Check your email.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
hmmm… do we get free shtuff off of party mountain in return?
i’m semi-talented.
July 1st, 2008 at 4:22 pm
^ exactly, heh. Party Mountain shtuff would be worth it.
Travis et al., hit me up if you need help. The way you avoid the kooks is going up to peeps and asking for help directly; you don’t wait them to come to you and offer.
That was a hard lesson to learn in my experience.

If anyone proves to not be a flaky, psycho weirdo, they can have first dibs at the party mountain garage sale.
July 1st, 2008 at 6:00 pm
since you all are offending people like carrie about this ‘psycho’ thing this what i have to say.some of you @ buddyhead have serious personality issues, maybe borderline. Also maybe some sexual dysfunction or addictions and depression (specially uncle scott). I can understand why you dont want anymore of your types around, i feel ya. if you need a therapist let me know.
July 1st, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I don’t think anything was directed at Carrie. It was just a general tongue in cheek,(but very serious) comment. Lighten up.
July 1st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
hey elizabeth.wat up girl? im happy and content. U Lighten up!
July 1st, 2008 at 8:30 pm

July 2nd, 2008 at 2:07 pm

July 2nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I’m starting bizarro buddyhead where we pay people by the word, we treat people with graciousness and humility and if we don’t have anything nice to say, we don’t say it. ;o>
July 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
bizarro buddyhead sounds boring. real travis-give us the gossip, and whenever you don’t have something nice to say, be sure and run to your computer and tell us all about it!
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
people who are boring get bored easily
