I don't know how but there was an understanding that his dad was going inside of the house to buy drugs.<br /><br />The dream fractures and begins again with me sitting inside a room of that house doing cocaine with some dude. We begin to fight and we both are covered in cocaine. His eyes are bleeding and he continues to fight with his eyes closed while letting out screams of horror. I defeat the dude and begin to escape out the window crashing through the glass onto the grass outside.<br /><br />I am back in the room again fighting with the dude again and i win once again and begin to escape, this time out his bedroom door, to a hallway that leads to another door to another hallway and then back out side where rogers is standing. This scenario of me fighting the guy and escapeing happens one more time and i wake up.<br /><br />I don't know where to begin in analyzing this but the imagery of the man's eyes bleeding and having to escape through 3 doors is very interesting to me.Family Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08188661959385679085noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057651967969739318.post-73570489330173920412009-11-16T15:43:00.001-08:002009-11-16T15:52:14.467-08:00Vimeo Addictionso as you might have noticed i prefer vimeo to youtube any day, while on a video binge today i stumbleda across some really amazing videos made by im assuming a new yorker by the name of Ray Concepcion.

Their sound was dry and tired, nothing to compare to all the internet talk that i had heard from months before. Last august while on tour in Sacramento almost all of the members were there. Our keyboardist was hanging out alot with one of them and he seemed like a pretty sweet dude, only a couple minutes into the night did i find that one of the members had an AFI tattoo for totalimortal, which is pretty sick. He seemed kind of embarrassed about it when i brought it up but I quickly let him know it was very alright. Anyways, i got back from my trip heavily inclined to give this band a second chance and im glad i did. This bands output/quality ratio is one to be admired.<br /><br />They had something come out within one of the last batches from Indie label juggernaut captured tracks, it is probably worth buying<br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7370070&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7370070&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7370070">Ganglians Live at Morin Studios</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user876419">TERROREYES.TV</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Family Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08188661959385679085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057651967969739318.post-64328794518719562302009-11-11T12:11:00.000-08:002009-11-11T12:14:30.692-08:00i love vimeoi have been getting way into recording shows on cassette(which i will post soon), but i love how my digital camera records video. i just got some good net access and uploaded some videos that i have had check them out<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506142&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506142&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7506142">Rapid Youth - Triumph</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user989361">Family Time</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506353&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506353&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7506353">Meth Teeth - Failures selected by god</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user989361">Family Time</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506710&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7506710&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7506710">Rapid Youth - Foxtails</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user989361">Family Time</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Family Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08188661959385679085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057651967969739318.post-33906187828356192662009-10-22T00:42:00.000-07:002009-10-28T20:22:45.267-07:00Foot Villiage / 60 Watt Kid<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8gvUAHuhR5MabdmcBCgJ8we8BrvRoTH9RmtWe4BNgs51Vc-nSRsPuNOIigablJXCOYRvt5C2dTan5vxlpTCnW6RU5s-R6en7tkA00CdNLV9QcbdLnRT0kleyHIboqzY4U5QLp57qh-Q_m/s1600-h/60+watt+kid+small.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

I know the year is not over yet but for me summer is the time of year when i feel most productive. With that said i say goodbye to summer with <a href="http://batheticrecords.blogspot.com/">Bathetic</a> and their monster of a summer compilation. 20 tracks in all, with exclusive songs from Deep Sht and Norse horse, and the demo version of Best Coast's hit "sun was high(so was she)" song. A springsteen cover by the Mississippi monster Flight. Also this is one of two compilations that you can get a strange frames song on, the other being the family time 12" comp.<br /><br />Let me list the reasons a little better<br />1.Deep sht and Norse Horse put EXCLUSIVE TRACKS ON THIS SHIT<br />2.THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY WAY BESIDES THE FAMILY TIME COMP TO GET ANY RELEASE WITH A STRANGE FRAMES SONG<br />3.THE ART IS PRO-PRINTED AND IT LOOKS DOPE AS FUCK<br />4.CUZ STONE COLD SAID SO<br /><br /><a href="http://batheticrecords.blogspot.com/">ORDER THAT SHIT HERE</a>Family Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08188661959385679085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057651967969739318.post-40992424602657752492009-09-24T22:07:00.000-07:002009-09-27T09:46:48.336-07:00New Blood: Secret Tones<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQljDG2wlJLYlh9xEQpcwjWp5NKAdNNbldGtKtgDop17DIeT5bc5DtioKby0a0ZbbGCoLOpiUfbetCFrhB83TLHNqpKcYeRNX-Kq0GfO1RhEfOHbCccdFV8-VS6g7AGrYaSzYvesuMfR9/s1600-h/seto.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQljDG2wlJLYlh9xEQpcwjWp5NKAdNNbldGtKtgDop17DIeT5bc5DtioKby0a0ZbbGCoLOpiUfbetCFrhB83TLHNqpKcYeRNX-Kq0GfO1RhEfOHbCccdFV8-VS6g7AGrYaSzYvesuMfR9/s320/seto.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384686649232263714" border="0" /></a><br />As of January I didn't really know of anything from San Luis Obispo besides it's mission.

I was kind of tired, and bummed that I was going to a show so late as I would probably miss a lot of bands. I missed Hell Kite, which was shitty, but I am sure she will come back soon enough. Anyways, I went to this show with little to no hopes or expectations only to be pleasantly surprised by the closing act. Tan Dollar was the only band that I caught at the E.C. that night, but they absolutely justified my having gone.<br /><br /> Synth rock for days, I became instantly nostalgic of when No Paws wrote pop songs and had Jillian singing. The synth is robust, and creates a sort of dynamic energy that makes you shake at the songs crest, and smile at the sweet release. The drums are on point, but subtle as fuck. I feel like if they had a crazy stupid drummer, then they would sound like Religious Girls or any other exp. band trying to be punk. Luckily, they don’t. The vocals are often nonexistent, but when the singers do chime in, it is as complimentary as the drums. This band seems to exemplify the meaning of balance.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bZDD8eBrTdA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bZDD8eBrTdA&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /> I went home and added them on myspace, and after a few short months they threw up two different EPs for free download. BLISS. The first one I got was “Pink Sky,” and that one was and still is my jam. Less vocals, but excellent sound craftsmanship throughout and a surprisingly good recording quality. The other EP available is untitled, with more pointillist synth rhythms and much more vocals. It is also a good listen.<br /><br /> This band is solid. Download their shit, and go see them play at Ports O Call on Dec. 9th with Baby birds don’t drink milk, Kevin Greenspon, and Nicole Kidman.<br /><a href="http://tandollar.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-music-pink-sky.html">DOWNLOAD</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/tandollar">MYSPACE</a>Forest Gumps Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14600296918784841308noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8057651967969739318.post-12433145329312284232009-09-20T22:57:00.001-07:002009-09-20T23:27:02.948-07:00New Blood: Former Ghosts<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3gniNC6vHdl5UJFVNGydeR3xgySSjDWs3KurhY-bc9-irsaLYM6BosgEnl9INgU1k66mP8XUrhT4-DPIXDxXEHuEBaHnx6NbK-4psI5wGE-bk92OfPqWaeOXumYveTY8OxZAWjgbBtHt/s1600-h/DSCF0586.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_3gniNC6vHdl5UJFVNGydeR3xgySSjDWs3KurhY-bc9-irsaLYM6BosgEnl9INgU1k66mP8XUrhT4-DPIXDxXEHuEBaHnx6NbK-4psI5wGE-bk92OfPqWaeOXumYveTY8OxZAWjgbBtHt/s320/DSCF0586.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382540893543444818" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is an interview with Freddy Ruppert about <a href="http://www.myspace.com/formerghostssleep">Former Ghosts</a>.<br /><br /><div class="im">Family Time: From <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thissongisamessisdead">This Song is a Mess but so Am I</a> to Former Ghosts you have changed your sound completely, but still most of your songs that I have heard stress sorrow and longing. Do you feel that the sadness has spilled over from your personal life, like in This Song is a Mess? Or do you find it most natural to create in that way?<br /><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Freddy Ruppert: It is kind of weird, but it seems that the only time I am actually able to create music is from an emotional place of sorrow. Anytime I am happy and I try and create something it just doesn't seem to work. Maybe someday, I hope that it will come naturally at some point in my life. I think I would like that a lot actually. It seems like for now though, I tend to use music as an outlet to express things that I have no other means to express. It seems when I'm really happy I over express that to people in many ways other than music. I would hate for people to get the idea that I'm a crazy depressed jerk because of my music; there is a lot more to my life than just these songs. A lot of my part within Former Ghosts comes from feelings of longing, love, and desperation. The biggest influence for me on the upcoming record is love at all of its most extreme points with a particular person. </span> <p>FT: With that said, what is your favorite "sad"(for lack of a better word) record?</p><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: I think my favorite "sad" record of all time is probably It'll End In Tears by This Mortal Coil. It's just brutal. Completely brutal.</span></p><p>FT: This Song is a Mess... albums were pretty lengthy, not in a bad way, but I have been finding more and more artists are doing shorter albums that consist of 9 or 10 tracks. On "Fleurs" how did you realize that this album was complete? This is a strange question; but I’m just curious as to how "Fleurs" was completed considering it is a debut.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: It is a little hard to explain because it has more to do with a personal feeling. I guess for me, when I set to work on a release it's about capturing a snapshot or making a photo album about a time in my life. "Fleurs" mainly deals with love and and longing and events with a particular person in my life. Originally, I would just record a version of the song and post it on my personal blog for her to see them and then I would take them down. But for whatever reason, it seemed to be an effective way for us to communicate. The theme of "Fleurs" isn't love in general and I think I just knew that my part of the album was done after I felt like it captured those feelings for me at that time? All of my lyrics on the album are really simple and straightforward. I can't speak for the songs that Jamie and Nika sing because they wrote their own lyrics. </span> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">FT: Because "Fleurs" is a snapshot of your personal life, with its completion has your outlook changed of it? I know that sometimes people can feel differently about something with time and adjusted perspective. </p><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">FR: This would happen a lot with the This Song Is A Mess But So Am I releases. It just captures a part of my life and then it kind of gets let go. It becomes a part of the past. When I look back on it, it just becomes this sort of thing where it's like "ok this is what I was feeling at the time so I put this out there" and whether that's for better or worse, or the motives behind it, or whatever, people will always have their opinions some of them mean spirited, some of them nice. It doesn't matter. It's just what I do. It's too early for me to say anything about Fleurs. With the This Song Is A Mess But So Am I stuff, I wrote most of it after the event, after the fact, looking back at it in a way, as a way to deal with the passing of my mom. With Fleurs, it is kind of different because everything was written simultaneous, as it happened. So I don't know. I'm sure my perspective of it will change as time goes by, what that perspective will actually be yet, I can't say.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><br /><br /></span>FT: "Fleurs" isn't out yet but I feel it’s safe to assume you have been working on more music, what is next on your release schedule?<br /><div class="im"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">FR: I'm not sure yet because it seems to be shifting for me. I originally had a lot of split 7"s, and split EP's, and vinyl lined up for Former Ghosts stuff but I'm currently writing a lot of stuff that seems to be fitting together so I think I'm just working on the follow up to Fleurs? I don't know at the moment, but yeah I've been working on a handful of things post Fleurs and I'm really interested in working on more things for Nika to sing and to work more directly with Jamie on the song writing. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"> </span><br /></div> <div class="im">FT: What was the scenario that Nika from Zola Jesus came to sing in former ghosts?<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: Well, I'm a huge fan of Zola Jesus. Everything she has done is completely incredible and I love her voice. I asked Nika if she would sing on a song on the album called "This Is My Last Goodbye" and when she sent it back I was completely blown away and I knew I had to keep working with her. It is an honor to have her be a part of Former Ghosts.<br /><br /></span>FT: I haven't had the chance to see you yet, but besides playing in the bay a month or so ago, not many people outside of LA have. What is your live set up like right now, and what will it be like for your tour in October?<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: When I play solo the set up consists of just a laptop, a synth/midi controller, and me. For the upcoming tour in October the set up will consist of me and Jamie, a laptop, two synths, and probably a snare drum and cymbal. </span><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"> </p><div class="im">FT: I noticed that Jamie is going to be with you for the tour but what about the tracks that Nika is the main vocalist?<br /></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: As far as this tour goes, unfortunately we won't be able to play the songs live that Nika is the main vocalist. Nika is extremely busy with school at the moment and it would be impossible for her to do the upcoming tour. But hopefully soon!</span> <div class="im"> <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">FT: I saw pictures of your show at the El Rey and it seemed like there were a lot of people there, how do you feel about bringing Former Ghosts to fresh ears?<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: This show was pretty amazing. Playing with Los Campesinos was unbelievable. I think they are one of the best bands in the world right now. It was a weird show, I haven't really played places that big before and I usually don't like playing up on a high stage so I tried to ask if I could play on the floor but the venue denied me. The support from people regarding Former Ghosts so far has been pretty overwhelming. It's always a weird feeling; I'm really flattered and it makes me blush when someone else relates to it. </span><br /><br />FT: I know you have ties with PPM and the smell scene that has gained popularity within the last few years, what are your thoughts on that community 3 years ago in comparison to now?<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: It's really crazy. I've been going to the Smell probably since I was 16 and I'm 26 now. It was an amazing place then and is still an amazing place now. It is really crazy to see how much it has changed. When I first started going to it the stage was basically a one-foot tall plywood box! But Jim who runs the place is incredible and it is really awesome to have an all ages space in Los Angeles where people will now go to shows just because it's at the Smell. It is really important to have a place like that in the music community. A place where the person running the venue actually cares about the bands and the people involved in the bands and the people making the music care about him and the venue. Any time I ever needed to set up a benefit show or anything Jim has never hesitated or thought twice about doing it. On the very last This Song Is A Mess But So Am I tour I played a show in North Carolina and someone was asking me about The Smell. It is really crazy and inspiring to see what it has grown into. </span></p></div> <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">FT: Since you post so many pieces of art on your blog, can you list some artists right now that you are really excited about?<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">FR:Felt Drawings, Noveller, Zola Jesus, White Leopards, Railcars, Silk Flowers and Elvis Presley.</span></p> <div class="im"> <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">FT: Who did the art for the cover?<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">FR: The artwork layout was done by Paul Jackson of Othila who is really, really, amazing and who has done the layout for a ton of Current 93 records. I nearly wet my pants when I found that out. The actual cover photo is of two people in love. </span><span style=""></span></p> </div> <p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">FT: With the understanding of how big some LA bands have gotten within the last few years how would feel about Former Ghosts being that big? Do you ever plan for Former Ghosts to be your "bread and butter"?<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">FR: I have no intentions for music to ever be my bread and butter. It's not what I want to do with my life. </span><br /></p><br />"Fleurs" is coming out on Upset the Rhythm October 20th.

A perfect three piece from Costa Mesa CA. The singer sounds like he has a heavy infatuation with Robert Smith and at times their delivery may give people thoughts of Gang Of Four or Warsaw. They also did a cover of "Ceremony" that i have yet to hear. They were only around for a year or two, but in that time period i think they put out some really good stuff.<br /><br />With a debut 12", 2 7"s, a full length album, a couple west coast tours, and short stint playing early Bad Brains material for HR solo, they called it quits. I don't really know why, but i ran into the drummer after Fuck Yeah Fest a couple of years back and he said that the singer became a Buddhist and moved far away, whether or not that is true i don't know.<br /><br />Though their existence now is little, they left behind some good records worth listening too. I have both of their 7"s and their album. The 12" debut is most praised but i have yet to get it besides a couple songs here and there. The full length doesn't seem to go anywhere, not to say that it has nothing good on it, i feel they had nowhere else to go. That may also be the reason that they broke up?<br /><br />Here is a little portion of their history that was never released.
