the punishment for missing this challenge is a lifetime sentence of changing out a high E string.
You get poked in the end of your fingers several times, then wind it up almost to tune....
but then it suddenly busts, painfully whipping you right across the face.

Then you get to start again. 20 times an hour, for eternity.

Don’t forget to add a Floyd rose bridge.
 
So, we had a request of the label to produce a video to be launched ahead of our tour, and then album. Of course, it was a cheap budget because they lost their shirts on the party. Alex said "Hey! I have this neighbor in art school. She's looking to do some video work." "Maybe, we can get her cheap"

We met with Astrid, and she threw out a bunch of good ideas. Since she is in art school, and knows all the thrifty places for garments, she had ideas and people who could help with costumes and stage decorations. She said that her father is a real estate developer, and has access to the old burlesque theater across town that no one seems to know what to do with these days, and assured us we could film there. She also assured that many of her friends would be able to fill up enough of the place to make it look like we're filming with a packed house. Between a couple of our friends, and her art school friends, we could muster up some cool lighting effects, and go with Hammered Universe.

My brain hurts. Time for lunch. If I missed anything, oh well.
 
Wally Paulnuttz comes by the rehearsal space. He's real cheerful. We've been earning him and his company some serious money. He explains that the company is really pressuring us to come up with a music video, wants to introduce us to the international stage, see if we can make 'em a bunch more money.

He whips out a $2500 check made out to FiveSkin, tells us that this is our budget for the film. We think this might be a total disaster, but our drummer speaks up and tells us about this chick he went to school with. Says she's kinda dark and goth-y, but that she knows how to create a good video, and that she can probably cut us a good deal.

So, we choose Poisonous Tongue as our video, because she really likes snakes, and this song happens to be about a venomous snake. A match made in....hell!



A snake behind cold, dead eyes
She wields a poisonous tongue
Creeps around the ankles
Kills her victims one by one

She's a ruthless viper
the most dreaded bite
sneaking around, creeps in the dark
relentlessly stalking the night

Cries for help from far in the void
The phantoms of the past
Another victim of a forgotten war
Taken by the spell she cast

The lines on your face tell the stories
Things that can't be undone
you look like you're broken and guilty
words of treason drip off the tongue

I take a step outside, I'm all alone
Feel the chill on my skin
Permeates to the bone
My temper for insolence grows thin

I won't be her victim
That's a label I refuse to take
So I go and do what must be done
I bury the head from the snake!



So we choose to film this thing out in the desert where there's lots of snakes. She can get the thing done for $1600, and says the extra $900 can be used for some substances to keep our spirits up while we're out there, and also extra rubber snakes for good measure.

So Mr Puckerpill says that we’v been getting some action with “Gaining Ground”, and Legit wants a video release for saturation purposes…too bad it’s got next to no budget. He says that we really need to make this happen….like…now…

So we’re talking it over, and BoBo texts his mom(mmmmmmWafflehouse….) and she says, “your cousin is in art school….and she’s a video major.” One thing leads to another, and we find ourselves shooting video with BoBo’s cousin BaeBae. She’s got a real eye for things, as it turns out…and she’s pretty easy on our eyes too…

She’s all in on some “Green Pursuit” vision she’s having….gotta be all “Mad Max in the forest”…but hey, we’re down with that scene!

Lots of dark fore’s road action, featuring the Squatcher van…and stuff.

We get our stuff together, and we’re getting set to go, when she tells me that she had to spend $900 on a destination cottage rental for shooting some scenes…looking to be a good weekend…
