Erik Petersen / Robert Blake - Old Tyme Mem'ry

When father bought the farm we sold the farm Mistook his blood for rustic charm sold his ghost as an antique, to the city and kids today can’t hold a spade rest in peace your weary trades in this world there is no place such a pity while the barman shakes his head and fills my glass, says we’re livin’ in the past why preserve a dying craft end its, misery We sigh and see another modern man one of property not land so ill hold out this batattered hand Will you listen? Chorus: come sit down we’re lamenting about yesterdays sad ending about the water in your whiskey the brass passed off as gold another round we’re descending into old time mem'ry of a day when wood was wooden silver silver gold was gold sweet home was home so you say you’ve got a wood stove in your second home runs on gas but looks like oak hell it even gives off smoke and glowing embers there’s a quilt hung on the wall reads home sweet home Below, some wise words from Thoreau and they call me throwback when i cry remember

Big News Today...

Hi Gang! Big news today.

We are officially changing our name from Andrew Jackson Jihad to the simple, familiar abbreviation that most of you already call us: AJJ.

The two biggest reasons for this are: 1.) We are not Muslims, and as such, it is disrespectful and irresponsible for us to use the word jihad in our band’s name. 2.) We no longer wish to be a living reminder of president Andrew Jackson. Interesting historical figure as he was, he was an odious person and our fascination with him has grown stale.

We are very sorry to any people the name has offended. We would like to thank those who have reached out over the years to let us know that the name is problematic, especially those who reached out with kindness. Had we known in 2004 that we would still be making music together 12 years later, we most certainly would have chosen a more thoughtful name from the start.

The name AJJ fits us better than Andrew Jackson Jihad. It has been our nickname for those in the know forever. It hearkens back to the great skatepunk bands like JFA, FYP, LFO, etc… It also retains, even amplifies the quality that I liked about the name Andrew Jackson Jihad; that it can be interpreted in different ways. Now that we are AJJ we can be “Arizona Juvenile Justice”, “Anonymous Junk Jugglers,” “Actress January Jones” (Chris Farren thought of that one) the possibilities are endless and we’re very excited to see what you all come up with.

Now that we are officially and proudly AJJ, we would like to share our new song “Now That I’m at the Top of my Game.” We recorded it in Dallas with John Congleton while making our forthcoming album. This song seemed confident enough to stand on it’s own.

The video was made by Karin Graham, Mark Glick, Mark Roebuck and Sean out of some stock footage of body builders and Sean’s crooked teeth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJsjacQcRw4 Thank you all so much for reading, for listening, and for being so good to us for all these years,

we love you all,

AJJ

do you worry that you’ll worry about everything until you die? just scared to death that you’ll fall in love again? afraid to loosen your grip on old ghosts, running away forever, running away from new stories, running away from new hurt. sitting outside real late, cold as fuck, not wanting to come inside. waking up and rubbing your sore muscles. planning out every step you take and sabotaging. being broke all the time and making the most of it. leaving your house for the sake of moving. do you want to grow up big and strong? to be brave and sturdy? you can’t move your feet if you nail them to the ground.

you don’t know your own power you don’t know what you’re worth you don’t recognize your valor and until you do, nothing you do will matter

I’d rather stand still forever than face the terror of moving. So thank goodness, no matter what I do, I’m a tidal wave blade of grass brush fire grain of sand flat tire broken glass coyote dandelion growing out of a boot. Stop talking to yourself all the time, and you’ll inherit the earth. Please wake up now, the world really needs you desperately. Stop forcing yourself to be good, and you’ll be as kind as the sun. Please cheer up now, we’ve been waiting for you all your life. I have ideas. I have them all the time. I’ve gotta make up more of them, or I’ll fall behind. So thank goodness, no matter what’s on my mind, really we’re just here in the living room. And that’s just fine.
