i'm tired

and i want to sleep for years., until all of this passes by, and no one remembers that i even exist.

Do the Fright Thing, and some rambling.

So last night I attended Ghoul Poon/Witness/Wake Up Electrified/Charlie Everywhere in Glens Falls. It was my first time seeing GP's set. Blew me away. Some drunken cunt kept trying to dance in front of me and get my attention, but the worst thing you can do in those situations is actually give them attention. ignore them, they go away. So I missed out on some of "Botanica", because I had to turn around and order a jack and coke from the bar to try to passively fend this bitch off, but in general, Ghoul Poon owns live. Witness, a little white rapper from philly I thought it was going to be garbage, but he is a skilled kid, and put on a great show. Wake Up Electrified, well, I didn't enjoy them as much, but they were entertaining. Charlie Everywhere, always good. What can I say? Talking to Josh and Sarah afterwards, I may be remixing "When I'm Small" soon. Looking forward to that. Quite a bit. anyways...

Shane was handing out early copies of "Do the Fright Thing", the Halloween compilation he has put together (i'm track 4 if you care), so it was a little bonus for attending. The comp has some really great stuff on it. Shane appears on it like 500 times, in his various forms, and his ghoul poon counterpart and my friend Chris Brown also is on there numerous times. Not to mention (even though I am) it is loaded with great area groups like Desperately Obvious, Worlds of Shit, Pinkriverdolphin, Beware! The Other Head of Science, Firefighter Font, Scientific Maps, and a ton more (21 tracks in total). So, it will be available for download from sub-bombin.com soon and you can also grab a copy at ghoul poon shows. so do it, you won't be disappointed.

Exciting things on the horizon.

Some i don't want to say out loud, as they seem to good to be true. Working on the music for a cover of "What I've Seen" by Daniel Johnston for Shane. Speaking of, played the UAG with him the other night in a full on noise set. Half my shit stopped working during set up. So I played feedback, as much as someone can. It was a good set though i think. It's nice hearing people clap and shit, and mean it. You can tell when they don't.

anyways, the general reaction to mute seems to be fairly positive. So, if you haven't yet, pick up a copy or download it. As always I am recording new stuff. I think it's an addiction. Maybe I'll shit out a new e.p. before the end of the year. we'll see.

might start a new band with some friends of mine.

Mute

In the next couple of days, I will be putting up a new E.P. for download. It's called "Mute" and it follows a thread dealing with, well, basically, writers block. Or musicians block. or painters block. whatever you want to call it. Anyone who actually creates things knows how downright fucking awful it feels to not be able to do it for periods of time. "Mute" was written in one of those periods. It has two songs on it that you may have already heard "The Monster" and "Hissing in the Speaker". Plus a couple of new ones. It is by far the weakest E.P. of mine to date. But it's like the fourth orgasm of the day, it's not as great, but you're still happy to get it out. In all reality, I don't feel like this e.p. is for the casual listener. It's for the blocked thinkers. It's not inspiration for them though, it's more like, "Hi, I feel that way too." anyways, a few days from now.

also, on a side note, I've spent a while against you. I'm tired of it. I no longer am familiar.

Take me by the hand, and walk me to the end of the pier

My collaboration with Shane (Ghoul Poon) is almost done. A cover of "Infected" by The The.
after this I think we are going to try to get together and write new material. hopefully, it will all go well. In the meantime, He is putting out a halloween compilation called "Do the Fright Thing". I have a song on there called "The Monster". It's not very good. Also, you may have noticed my myspace has a song on it called "Hissing in the Speaker". It's my first post-wanderlust track. meh.
Did you notice the KISS?

anyways, I am demoing some new stuff now, seems my brain is functioning again. must be the centrum.

Halloween Song and Wanderlust update.

I reworked my halloween track for the comp that shane is putting together. the track is now called "The Monster". DO NOT LISTEN TO THE ENDING TOO LOUD unless you want to have to go buy new ears. I sent it his way, and now hopefully it will show up on the halloween comp at some shows or something. i hope you like it.

Wanderlust. this fucking albatross. The songs are done. they are half assedly mixed. I don't think i am going to put it out. I am not very happy with the way it is turning out. or has turned out, i suppose. Maybe this can be considered my "lost record" if someone with as little reach as myself can even have one of those. I am in a tumultuos time at the moment, and while that should be inspiring me to stay up all night laying down tracks and scribbling lyrics, it isn't, which is probably the reason i am so fed up with "Wanderlust". I promise though, I will be getting new music out, just maybe not as soon as i would like. Who knows though, i have a way of randomly pumping out songs.

keep an eye out for the halloween comp.

The Comings and Goings (Wanderlust)

I have been getting sick a lot lately. I have been abnormally hostile. I am pretty sure i may be going bald. What does it all mean?
