fondue fun do
i’m still trying to get new camera pictures online. i haven’t had a minute to do it. i probably won’t until i get back from ohio. they’re all amazing. the 28mm wide angle lens makes all the difference in the world. i love it. i’m going to (hopefully) start working on an EP for marrow. aimee’s giving me free reign to kind of play around with her songs, so...
eyes on the prizez
from the end of the year list in the nashville scene, as written by seth graves. MAKEUP & VANITY SET PRESENTS THE PROTOMEN Makeup & Vanity Set (Sound Machine) What better tribute could you possibly pay to your friends’ band than sequencing a note-for-note 8-bit electronic cover of their original rock opera based on the Mega Man video game? Answer: none. Protomen crony and frequent...
yeah, dude. for sures.
things are back to normal until friday, when lisa and i head back to ohio for the new year. should be awesome. we’re going to see trans-siberian orchestra, which should be totally tubular, dude. or something. i saw i’m not there up in cleveland with zack on christmas eve. it was really pretty neat. i liked it very much. i liked talking with zack. i don’t get that luxury so...
etc
christmas was pretty good. went to church with the fam. got a camera. gave out a bunch of presents. got some stuff. spent time with everyone. etc. also, easily the most disturbing thing that has ever happened to me happened this afternoon. it’s time to go back to nashville.
family matters
alright. everyone. merry christmas. don’t forget to celebrate the birth of jesus. and eat food and get presents. my parents bought a giant HD television and a blu-ray dvd player. they’re nuts. we’re watching blu-ray spiderman 3. it’s neat. and the longest freaking movie ever. it snowed today. snow is great. i had some crazy latte earlier with jill. now i’m having...
don't worry. i only tell truths.
SPIN: You think Graduation is blacker than The College Dropout? KANYE: Way blacker. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” — how hood is that record? “Good Life” is straight Steve Harvey, all day long. “Flashing Lights”? I never had a record that was that black. But it’s white at the same time. Certain things are so good it doesn’t have to be white or...
totally
last night i became engaged to lisa wohlgemuth. we’re hoping to get married in north carolina in october. her name will go from wohlgemuth to putay. in other news, i’m still getting better. slowly.
status
if we’re talking about just straight pain, you can officially say that i’m getting better. it’s not the horrible pain nightmare that it was, which is good. everything is looking better, for the most part, which also good. my sore throat has been reduced to that weird “i was just sick and now i feel like i’ve got something in my throat that i keep swallowing”...
staph meeting, heh...
yo dudes. as it turns out, all of my sickness this whole time can be attributed to a really awesome (no really) staph infection of doom. i’m still waiting to hear if it’s in fact MRSA, which is the really sweet awesome staph of doom. either way, it really sucks. today is officially the first day (with sickness starting last tuesday night) that i’ve been on an actual antibiotic...
Watch
being sick isn't fun
i downed a bunch of tylenol pm in the hopes that it will knock me down for the next three days. i got my car back. i had to pay $500 because the other insurance company has yet to accept liability. which is kinda lame. and i had to go take care of all of that all sick and gross, which was also kinda lame. i drove out to the franklin vanderbilt walk in clinic, where i was told that i don’t...
yeah
sick. like really for real sick. like fever sick. i’m holed up in hobbiputayton. not even bad boys 2 made me feel better. ugh.
seriously
a new autechre record ANDÂ TWO new clark releases in the first two months of 2008? for reals.
honest opinions
i like the idea. but it’s unrealistic. it’s fun to pretend. like dressing up in a costume. but it isn’t me. i wouldn’t know what to do. i can’t ever feel comfortable in that. it isn’t me. it’s not me.
yarns
everything in inevitable. things. everything all sprialing around. i keep all of my fingers crossed. palms all clenched. i keep praying. and hoping. the entire world could come tumbling down around me. it’s okay. don’t move. don’t stop. keep your eyes closed tight. the whole big great world. watching it in bits and pieces. a little group of pixels. moving left to right across...
it's that time again
the records i most listened to in the last year (in no particular order) are: tokyo police club - a lesson in crime patrick wolf - the magic position menomena - friend and foe kevin drew - spirit if lcd soundsystem - sound of silver justice radiohead - in rainbows girl talk - night ripper animal collective - strawberry jam spoon - ga ga ga panda bear - person pitch midnight...
it's true. i'm not lying.
i use all of this equipment to make animated gif files. like, really badass animated gif files.
i'm really not feeling it
also, while we’re on the subject of rules of thumb: it’s totally not a good idea to assume that just because some mexican dude driving without a license who backs into your car while sitting in a turn lane tells the cop at the scene that it was his fault and that he did it, that it doesn’t mean he won’t tell his insurance company (in spanish of course because he...
i'm just not feeling it.
a couple of things: 1 i’m not ungrateful about the show. that’s not what the myspace blog is about. i don’t have ill will against the other bands or the venue. i was just responding to hate email i got. sorry about any confusion. 2 i’m growing a moustache. it’s true. 3 i’m hoping that i will have a new record finished sometime in the next three months....
remember me to one who live there
i’m mostly tired. but thank you to everyone who came to the show last night and said hello and talked and caught up. it was really great and fun. thanks to ryan rayborn for making everything fun again. the world is a funny place sometimes. i’m glad that we’re in it though. this morning i opened all of the windows and made coffee and listened to the trains go by.
