Goddamned restless tonight. I feel like I’m falling down and I can’t stop falling. I feel like there’s some kind of cruel order to things, not that the order in any way implies an intellegence. I hate not understanding why things are the way they are. I hate that there might not be a satisfactory answer anyway.
Goals:

I have way too much time on my hands these days, so I’m turning my garage into a sorta impromptu studio. With that in mind, if anyone wants me to record them, I will be happy to do so free of charge, for my practice. Figure there’s no better way to learn than by doing.
I have a simple set up, a few SM57s/58s, Tascam USB/MIDI interface, Behringer 6-Channel mixers. I also have a killer...

Holy shit, Alex Chilton died. →
Dude, Big Star was fucking great. Bummer man.
An Open Letter to Superintendent Teresa McNeece...
I am writing today to register my anger, my disgust, and, most importantly, my deep, deep sadness at your actions, first in barring Constance Mcmillen from bringing her date to prom and then canceling the prom, attributing it to the disruption caused by miss McMillen’s efforts to be allowed to participate in an event that so many students consider an essential, indispensable part of growing...
@onpreston:
it’s about time someone did. @Punknews Streetlight Manifesto speaks out against Victory Records punknews.org/article… (via @LessThanJR)
file this under the “HOLY FUCKING SHIT, LABELS ONLY CARE ABOUT $$???” category.
Seriously, I feel like this is the millionth time I’ve heard this same goddamned, boring as shit story from a band “speaking out” against...
Also, show at the Mid East went swmmingly. Thank you to AMPM and Fighting the Influence for playing and all the pretty ladies for smiling at me in that way which makes me feel all tingly.
A Quandary
Hmmmm, to pay some dude 150 bucks to book a 2 week tour: it is a little more than 10 bucks and change per show. Plus, God almighty, do I hate sending out emails all day.
Drawbacks: Booking myself costs $0 and has been going reasonably well. Lose massive DIY-points, indie cred takes a hit, no longer punk as fuck (question as to whether or not I was in the first place remains). Probably get stuck...
The show tonight really did wonders to pull me out of this whole funk. Feeling pretty great. Let’s see how long the high lasts.
i cant wait until lady gaga is the brunt of a...
My love for GaGa will never die. Also, better than space doritos: hyper combos 3000.
iamdirtfarmer:
and then you’ll look at your significant other and say “oh, wow, yeah i kinda remember her.”
and then you’ll go back to eating your space doritos, thinking about what it was like to live on earth.
Going into slow motion panic attack.
Laid up. Sucks. Wish I was out with friends.

NOW BOBBY BROWN “MY PEROGATIVE”!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!
Now Blind Melon. Marvelous.
You're Going To Listen to Me Geek About Comics
So Blog@Newsarama is reporting that Geoff Johns, the mastermind behind GL, Superman, Blackest Night and basically everything they wont let James Robinson do at DC (he’s pretty much DC’s Bendis when it comes to writing 30 million books a month) is going to be writing a “Flash: Secret Origin” a la the supposedly incredibly well-selling according to Johns “Green Lantern:...
Utterly marvelous night. Good friends, good music (the Thin Heir once again gave a killer living room performance), and, most importantly, RAISING CANES EXISTS IN BOSTON.
Life could probably not get any better.
Just placed an order for physical CDs. Yay nearly obsolete technology!
Reserve your copy now.

If you weren’t up at 4 in the morning when I posted it, here’s a link to the new mixes. Now several db louder, and thus better!

…now Red Lanterns’ “Names” is louder, and thus better! Still available for free, or if you wanna give me money, you’re free to do so.
I feel goddamned awful tonight. Can’t account for it, but woke up feeling garbagesque and can’t shake the sensation. Perhaps it’s the fact I’ve had Jeremy Irons read me Lolita for the past month and the neurotic mix of cold manipulation and impassioned epithets.
Playing the Gulu Gulu open mic in Salem tonight. Come by if you’re free. Cheer me up.

I was introduced to the wonders of Chatroulette tonight. Great.
