Feelings

Right now i wish all of my friends could take all their
beef and put it into a big meat grinder, then i would make a bunch
of burgers out of it to be consumed together then following consumption,
after our beef is gone, we would realize that we have some really amazing
people to be around.


i miss you rhys and dani, this blog has nothing to do with you but i miss you dudes, i just found this picture in my computer. i doubt you guys read this or know that i have a blog but whatever, i miss you guys.

Rebirth

okay I'm back, i had a good break to get shit together and shape up for my upcoming quarter at college.

with that said I'm back and again i attempt write about stuff...

This is me on the edge at Patrick's Point in some part of Northern California.

going back to 8th grade

so lately a lot of kool kieth has been coming into my life. i've been hearing him when i've gone places i've been seeing him some of his videos on skate channels( hahah i kind of started trying to skate again) anyway he was all i listened to 8th grade along with wu tang and blink 182 , the dudes put out a lot of stuff from 1996 to now he's also got some of the coolest anf funniest album art work for an underground rapper anyway here's some jams of his i'm feeling

You're an idiot

Pixies big ass box set

this isn't a review cause i don't have it. it costs $175 and if you are a super fan the special edition costs $500. in today's economic climate don't people think that people aren't going to pay that much for something like this? just thinking about this is frustrating to me, not to mention thinking about the yuppy jerks who are actually going to buy this.

in other news check out this new sonic youth video, i need to get this new album

for sam.

what ive been into lately.

Stuff that I have been listening to enthusiastically.
A frames (same sentiments as rogers)
Spirit Duplicator (brian m. gave me this, its rad. check out the song)
Vaginals
Xbxrx (new)
Al qaeda (touring and putting out a 7" collab with mike watt and gabe serbian on scotch tapes)

In the Car – npnl, mitb, bjk, dna, cadillac party, (what is currently on my dashboard)

Stoned – burial

Spirit Duplicator - listening to aphrodite's child's 666 in the parking lot of the tigard babies r us at night

Sleepers Master

You need a vacation, at least that's what you may think of when you listen to southern California's own Norse Horse. Norse Horse's debut, on yours truly, will consist of 8 songs that move your mind cautiously over streams of reverb to a sea of change and innocence that give you little choice but forget yourself for a little while. On the song Swamp Trotter Norse Horse does just that in a little over 7 minutes.

take some time, do it for yourself

current obsessions

hey everyone , here's a few things new and old that i'm obsessed with at the moment

A Frames - Black Forrest ( so good how come i didn't hear this when i was younger?? )
Gary War - Opens cs ( still way into this gary war playing live on wfmu really good BUY IT! )
Deerhunter - Rainwater Cassette Exchange ( five really relaxed and energetic songs check it out )
Gay Beast - Second Wave ( i heard of this band a long time ago and we were supposed to play with them on tour anyway this album is a lot of fun fast paced weird sounds and rad vocals )

I'm In My Own Private World

Dirt Dress "Perdido En La Suciedad 1 of 3" TAPE PAPERMADE RECS
i love this band to death, rogers and myself have set up about three different shows for these dudes in Riverside and at all of them, they ruled. not to mention that they are the nicest dudes ever. radness aside these guys make great rock n' roll music, no comparisons, just that, perfect rock n' roll. there is a modesty to this album that i think is to be honored. i can't say enough about this band. perdido en la suciedad 1 of 3 is their latest release on papermade. it is a tape release only but if you want it they have linked on their myspace page a site where you can download it all.
i have linked it here -------->Perdido En La Suciedad

UPTAPE

okay so much has been happening in the land of family time within the last couple weeks that i don't know where to start...
NEW JAMS

paradise vendors 004
rapid youth/graffiti island/male bonding/old blood split 7" yesterday and i can't begin to explain how pumped i am. rapid youth make their debut with probably one of mine and rogers favorite songs that they have ever done, forever losing. i have seen this band grow so much within the past couple of years that it shocks me how they never cease to be better with every song. i am going to go out on a limb but i have said it before, rapid youth is the best band in southern California. i quickly put that on first last night to check that out, i haven't had a chance to listen to the rest.

you should get this 7" no joke you will be missing out if you don't

woodsist 025 "songs of sham"
yeah it is as good as i thought it would be, and then some. has more tracks than the tour tape, and one really long/really rad jam that has the best guitar leads in a pop album in a while. the album closer "where and what you are" is becoming one of my most favorite songs ever!!!

also got
crystal stilts "alight of night"- i like it, i put it on while i wash dishes. this is helping me to accept simplicity when song writing.
cat power "moon pix"- i don't really need to say anything about this album, it speaks for itself and puts most contemporary singer songwriters to shame. i have been wanting it on LP for a while now.
deep sht "weird you"- i have been jamming this release since he sent it my way, the vocals are lazy but concentrated, i can't wait for this to be done
