For some reason today I awoke two and a half hours before my alarm was set to awaken me, and could not fall back asleep. Do you have any idea how frustrating that is!? Well…actually…you probably do. I think that happens to everybody. Sorry for the momentary lapse in logic. I'm usually a bit more…with [...]
Yeah, I slept last night. I slept the shit out of sleep. And this morning I awoke in a much better and well-rested mood. It's amazing what a handful of over-the-counter sleeping pills and a cold room can do for a man. Well, I'll not dawdle here. Enjoy your mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs: [...]
Shoeb Ahmad is Australia's answer to Caribou. Well, sorta. Ahmad's "Falling Fast" is from his new album Watch/Illuminate and it's minimal-ambient-pop suits the early part of summer quite nicely. Looped polyrhythms, feather light electric guitar note runs & strums, synth tides and distant (half awake?) vocals call out to those of us flailing about with night terrors. We may be hurtling toward the ground, chased by a cranberry dragon in a terrifying dream world, but Ahmad's music makes it seem like a day at the beach. Sunlight seeps into our nightmares in this tune as something that might [...]
Merry Christmas, Everybody. The pictures and video from last night's shenanigans are beginning to filter in, very slowly, so you'll have to wait to see the really good stuff. The night turned into a shit-show very early. There was me, the mouse. There was Tom, the lion. There were two pixies with LED lights and tiny stereo speakers on their wings. There was Zach in a cow hat, Pat in a rabbit mask, Ken, Katie, Arthur, Kelsie, Autumn, Shaun, Erin, and probably others I'm forgetting. We started our pub crawl in the Los Feliz neighborhood, at Ye Rustic Inn. My [...]
I hope this week is better than last week. For fuck's sake, could something possibly go right, for a change? Anything? Anyone? Bah. No one's listening. What's more, I thought today was the 21st, and had a mix tape prepared to mark the occasion, but later found out that's not until next week. Good God, man. I need some fucking relaxation. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing [...]
Hey friends, this is my first official post as a 26-year-old. Let me tell you, it feels not bad. In fact, I wouldn't hesitate to say it feels "pretty alright". Thank you Nicci for posting yesterday so that I could enjoy my birthday. You're a real pal. Scarily, the first time I read through that post I thought, "Wait a minute - didn't I just write this yesterday?" I guess it just goes to show that anybody can imitate my style of writing, and those of you who leave comments praising me are clearly unaware of my utterly pedestrian abilities. [...]
