I'm watching "Enterprise" - what a goofy show. Man. I love it. I'm trying not to think about going into the studio tomorrow. I mean it's exciting and everything, but it's also kind of scary. It's like being confronted by a really really big blank sheet of paper. Crap. I've seen this one before. What the frig is up with T'Pal's lips?

We've waited 3 years before starting this new cd. 3 years. We've never waited that long. We have way too many songs, we have lots of good ideas, now we just have to jam out some art. And be awesome. A dog? A dog in space? Doesn't seem sanitary.

We record in south boston. With a guy named Ducky. Ducky rules. He makes it easy. Once we get the sounds right, it's like playing in a living room. With lots of microphones and gear and stuff.

Is this the same T'Pal that does the marriage ceremony with Spock in the original Star Trek? Or was that T'Pau?
We are really psyched to lay down Lucky and Everywhere and As*ho*e. We are thinking of doing Cut Off Your Head - maybe Porno Plot. We definitely want to do the napkin poetry medley - "release your anger" - I guess we will have to go with it when we get there. We have at least 24 songs - we will have to pick and choose.

Thank you to everyone who contributed a vote to the poll. It helps to know what sticks in people's heads from our live shows.

But the burning question that keeps haunting me, the thing that I can't get out of my mind is...

Is this a Quantum Leap?

Sure, Lucas can't write dialogue or direct actors, but really, what does that have to do with movie-making?  And come on, who needs attention to detail when you've got freakin? Jedis running around with freakin? lightsabers?  They're more elegant than blasters, dammit!To their credit, Jim's Big Ego did take some of their publicist's words to heart.  The band sat down to re-watch The Empire Strikes Back, easily the best Star Wars movie.  And man, was it good.  Watching it over and over again, they started to really get into all the Yoda scenes.  "When they first got the tape, I thought 'I've got a bad feeling about this'," says manager Jason Schneider, "and I was right.  They've already missed three gigs."But the band won't need gigs anymore; they have the Force as their ally. And a powerful ally it is.  It binds us together, and flows through us.  And don't give me any of that midichlorian crap-that was just horrible.Having spent weeks on end learning the lessons of Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi drummer Dan Cantor feels the Force flow within him.  He practices daily to learn control, such as the remote control and other objects out of his reach, and he has mastered the art of changing the traffic light from red to green.  And pretty soon he'll try using the old Jedi Mind Trick at bars, just like Obi Wan.  "Use it to pick up chicks, will I," affirms Cantor.Following the completion of his training, Cantor intends to confront his father, and bring order to the galaxy.  After that, he will rejoin the band to resume their Midwest tour.MR.

JBE will be playing on Thursday Night, January 16, 2003 in a benefit for the Somervile Homeless Coalition. If any of you have been following the news, you know that this horrible homelessness monster is raising it's ugly head again.


Please come out and support the Somervile Homeless Coalition with an evening of music and celebration. Show your compassion and have a great fun night all that the same time.
The band is donating it's time - all you have to do is show up and maybe dance a little. Coots is also on the bill - we don't think we know them - but they are bound to be a blast.

A lot of people might be wondering why Jim's Big Ego suddenly cares so much about their cholesterol.  We don't mind, it's natural for normal people to hold such a healthy band in awe.  Oddly enough, as Jim Infantino, lead singer/songwriter and of a very healthy band explains, the idea first came about from that tv commercial.  Y'know, the one where they guy's walking around talking about how he's lowered his cholesterol?  Man, that commercial's annoying, isn't it?  Not as annoying as that 'can you hear me now' asshole, but still pretty annoying.  The band was sitting around *censored*ing the guy out and then we realized that we truly hated that person.  Hated him with a passion.  A passion strong enough that we wanted to see him die.  But it would be hard to see the man die because he's so *censored*in' healthy.  I mean, sure, maybe they'd get lucky and he'd be so busy talking about his cholesterol that he wouldn't pay attention and get run over by a bus, but that'd be a pretty risky chance to take.  That was the point when the band realized that they all had to become just as healthy as that jerk on the tv, so that they could live long enough to see him die.
Some people may think that it's unnecessarily cruel and petty for the band to improve their own health just to live long enough to witness the death of another, but as far as Jim's Big Ego is concerned, those people can all go to hell.  And the band will probably live long enough to see it.  Because they've managed to collectively drop their cholesterol counts by over 200 points.  Which is practically a record breaking feat.  In fact, many medical journals have contacted lead singer and songwriter Jim Infantino to find out how the band accomplished the radical cholesterol reduction.  'I get calls from doctors all the time asking how we did it and if there's any diet or magical potion we want to sell.  Frankly I don't think all those people are real doctors.  Especially the ones asking about the magical potions.  You'd think those guys would at least come up with something medical sounding, like mystic serum or something.  I mean, it's not hard, y'know?  Just watch an episode of ER.'
Fake phone calls aside, Infantino is happy to share the secret of the band's tremendous cholesterol reduction.  'We kicked out the fat guy.  Too bad, too, 'cause he was really talented.  But that's what living a healthy lifestyle is about - setting priorities.  And living long enough to witness the deaths of the people you hate.

'Cause Jim's Big Ego is in touch with their sentimental side.  And they wrote this song just so some people would understand how tender and caring Jim's Big Ego can be.  But then, check it out, last night there are these three incredible looking chicks in the front row.  Like, they're all over it, y'know?  And they're giving the band one of those looks.  You know the kind look I'm talking about, right?  The kind that says "if you want it, come and get it."  And believe you me, my friend, Jim's Big Ego wanted it.  But for some reason, no matter how hard the band worked it, it didn't look like anything was gonna happen.  Like maybe these chicks were just teases that go dance in front of gutiar driven rock trios just to drive them nuts.

And then comes the best part, 'cause all the guys in the band just looked at each other and were like "oh no, we're having none of this."  And they all knew what to do.  It was almost like they all had the same idea at the same time, y'know?  Like when you pick the phone up to call a friend and instead of a dial tone on the other end of the phone is that friend who's calling YOU at that same moment?  Man that's creepy when it happens.  It's like there's a blip in The Matrix or something, y'know what I mean?  Oh you know what I mean.  Yeah, follow the white rabbit, baby.

Anyway, so the band's on stage and they're getting all frustrated and suddenly they all have this killer idea at the same time.  Why not play the song?  So Jim, he's the lead singer, he gets up to the mike and looks straight at them and says "this next song is for some special people in the audience tonight" and then they starting playing the song just staring at the chicks, and like KAPOW!, those chicks were theirs for the taking.  I think one of them might even have had an orgasm right there on the spot.

Now don't get me wrong, Jim's Big Ego is not a band to kiss and tell.  But man, they did SO much more than kiss, y'know what I'm saying?  I'm saying they had sex!  Lots of it!  With women!  And it was cool...'cause it was sex!  Aww, yeah baby.  What's not cool about sex?  Nothing.  Nothing is not cool about sex.  Which is a double-negative, which makes it a positive.  And that's just what it was, positive positive sex.  And all thanks to that love song.

Jim's Big Ego plans to produce an entire cd of love songs for their next release.  And they plan to do it soon.

But still, even though this guy shoots up a lot (and we mean A LOT) he still says "no" to the drugs first every time he takes them.  Like right after he cooks them up and before he shoots it in, he looks down at the needle and says "no."  And that's commitment.  Sure, it's misplaced and he doesn't really understand what we mean by "say 'no' to drugs," but you've gotta admit that he certainly keeps to the letter of the law, as it were.  And it's tough to blame him, because every time we tried to explain the "say 'no' to drugs" thing he was really stoned at the time.  Although in our defense, he's pretty much always stoned, so it was hard to find a good time to do it.
And we'd also like to let you know that in order to make up for their perpetually purple-hazed band-mate, the other two members of Jim's Big Ego don't do any drugs at all.  Like, seriously, nothing.  No pot, no booze, no aspirin.  Hell, they don't even use fluoride toothpaste.  They're trying to balance it out, and they figure that with the amount of drugs this other band member does, they've got a lot of balancing to do.  And when you come down to it, 2 out of the 3 Jim's Big Ego members say "no" to drugs.  And moreso than your average American-all those caffeine swilling, nicotine sucking, asthma inhaler puffing addicts out there.   And if they can say "4 out of 5 dentists" for thirty years, then we feel comfortable with "2 out of 3 members of Jim's Big Ego."  It may not be as high a percentage, but it's as good as we're gonna get.  'Cause there ain't no way that other guy's getting off the smack.  It's almost like he's addicted to it, or something.
We really shouldn't tell you who the addicted band member is, but let's just say that there are four letters in both the words "drug" and four letters in the word "bass."  And "drum" come to think of it.  Jim Infantino is the lead singer/songwriter/guitar player for Jim's Big Ego.
So there you have it.  Jim's Big Ego, 66% drug free.   And damned proud of it.

• Mr. R.G.  The Big Ego Bunker, Area 52, New Mexico

And then do you know when the guy finally showed up? Go ahead, take a guess. 5:58PM. Just two minutes early! I mean, at least if the guy showed up after 6 then they would've had the installation for free, but nothey didn't. - Cause of just two minutes. What the *censored* is that?!?

All right so it doesn't sound that bad, but let me explain. Jim's Big Ego is a busy band, right? They've got shows and tours and stuff, and they had to take time off special, just to sit around and wait. Okay sure, they intended to get some work done at home. Write some new songs or work out arrangements, that kinda stuff, but come on, you know how it goes. You get started and then you hear a noise so you stop and look out the window and then you get started again, and then you have to go and check to make sure the phone's still on the hook - cause nobody's called you yet to say "I'm sorry that I'm inconveniencing you so much, Jim's Big Ego," and then you try to work again, but by then it's time for dinner and as long as you're sitting around waiting you might as well take the time and cook something. And then, THEN, just as you've got the meat all marinated and ready to throw on the hibachi "ding dong, it's the cable man" and you have to drop everything and take care of the *censored*in' cable guy instead of your *censored*in' dinner even though by now you're really hungry and the marinade smells really good, but lord forbid you keep the cable guy waiting even though you're the paying customer!

So the point is that Jim's Big Ego waited around and wasted their time and they're pissed off about it. And can you blame them? They waited around for tv? TV! I mean, when you sit and wait for the phone guy you can at least say to yourself "well I definitely need to use the phone" - cause like, if you don't have a phone then you can't make phone calls and stuff. Sure people have cell phones, but it's still more important than the cable don't you think? Well Jim's Big Ego thinks so, but still, the band kept on waiting. Somewhere around hour three the band started to get philosophical, and that's when front man and songwriter Jim Infantino said stuff like "It really teaches you something about yourself, the fact that you would delay your life so much just to get TV. I mean, I don't even really like TV, but at this point I guess we do need it. Think about it, even if it's just CNN, people who don't like TV are always watching TV, y'know? It's really creepy when you start to think about just how much influence it has on our lives. And more imporatantly that asshole's like three hours late!" That pretty much marked the transition from philosophical to pissed.

Although, the good news is that Jim's Big Ego was able to get hooked up in time for the latest Real World marathon. Man, Cara's such a slut.

Mr. R.G., Minsistry of Propoganda, BigEgo Correctional Facillity, ToadSuck, AL

"It hasn't been at all easy," admits Jim's Big Ego songwriter Jim Infantino.  "When you think about it, love is one of the most complex and mysterious compelling forces we know as humans.  We don't even know what it is that makes us love each other.  Is it evolutionary impulses to perpetuate the species?  Chemical responses in our brain to the subtle environmental influences of another person?  Or is it just 'cause we're really horny?  These are the sorts of questions that we thought an audience might enjoy hearing a song about.  Really, we're surprised that nobody's ever thought of this before."

The song, which has been through a number of name changes but is currently titled "Love Love Ya Baby, Oooh Oooh, Love......Love", marks a strong shift in focus for Jim's Big Ego, and indeed for pop music in general.  As Infantino explains "up until now we, like everybody else, have pretty much focused our song writing talents to explain our opinions on global economics.  You might remember our big hit from a couple of years ago 'Don't Let Russia in the G7 (Don't Do It).'  We got a lot of legs with that song.  Of course, then they let Russia in and they made the G7 the G8 and it pretty much became dated from that point on.  That's why we think we'll have better luck focusing on love.  I mean, once somebody says 'I love you' that's forever, right?  That's the kind of permanence we'd like to get across."

Of course, there are some people who say "I love you" and don't really mean it, but Jim's Big Ego figures they can all go *censored* off and listen to other bands.  'Cause let me tell you, when Jim's Big Ego says "I love you" they mean it, man.  That's like, forever to them.  It's trying to explain that they've formed a very close, almost spiritual bond, and they want to be with that other person forever.  For-ever!  And none of this "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" crap, either.  No, we're talking about LOVE here, baby, the kind of love that maybe you never got from daddy, but the kind of love that Jim's Big Ego deserves.  And the kind of love we thought we had.

We think you'll understand better when you hear the song.  Jim's Big Ego will be performing their new love song soon under a window near you.

Mister R.G., Minster of Propoganda, BigEgo Enterprises, Santa Glarus, CA

Explaining his intentions behind the anticipated statement, Jim's Big Ego front man Jim Infantino stated, "I don't want to die.  Really, neither do the other guys in the band.  And we figured that a war with China would just be one more way that we conceivably could die.  You see, China has many nuclear missiles, and if one of those nuclear missiles were to hit-for example-my house, and I were sitting inside my house at that time, then I would die.  And I don't want that.  I realize the odds are against an ICBM landing on my house, but like we said earlier in this press release, every little bit helps."
This is not the first time Jim's Big Ego has acted to avert international crisis.  In 1995 Jim's Big Ego released their popular single "Please Stop Killing Bosnians (Slobodan Milosovec)" and in 1998 Jim's Big Ego participated in the "Musicians Against Other Musicians in Different Countries Dying Simply Due to International Tensions" Festival in Warwick, RI.  Unfortunately, this Festival was booked opposite the Newport Folk Festival, so very few fans or other music acts showed up, making Jim's Big Ego the opening, featured, and headlining act for the MAOMDCDSDIT Fest. Also in 1996 Jim's Big Ego bassist Jesse Flack gave $25 to Greenpeace.
In addition to the scheduled apology, Jim's Big Ego also hopes to convince China to back down from the current crisis by re-releasing their popular 1995 hit under the new title "Please Don't Kill Americans (President Jiang)" and the band also plans to buy more egg rolls.  They hope this last move will show the PRC that many Americans support Chinese culture and economic trade.  "Like we've said before," Infantino explained, "every little bit helps.  Besides, we all really like egg rolls.  So it's a win-win situation."
