Hey there.
I bought a 7-inch at a Mount Eerie show a couple weeks ago that was a split with a band called The Love of Everything. Despite that I think I listen to Mount Eerie more than anything, I am in love with the Love of Everything side but unfortunately can't find any other recordings by him. I've tried soulseek and limewire and nothing and no record stores around here have anything. So if any of you have anything by him and wouldn't mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! |

I could live in a tent on a beach in Washington with Phil Elverum and Adrian Orange. I've never been so incredibly in love with any musical endeavors of any other two people. Honestly, I don't listen to anything else anymore except for 'folkloric feel' and Mice Parade. I want to spend a part of my life underwater in an explorauroaurotorium looking at whales and sea lions. |

Hey. Long time no post. Band things are kind of over August the 2nd being as Scott leaves the day I get back and then Mike leaves for college. That's weird. All the times we didn't play are all coming back to bite us in the ass it seems. Our fault I suppose.
I hung out with Briana yesterday. It had been a really long time, but I felt like it might have been the first productive thing I did all summer being as I haven't made an effort to see anyone I don't see alot for quite a while.
I've been listening to Books a lot lately. I think it might be the most creative music I've heard in a long time. I really like it a lot. Really nifty vocal samples I think.
I'm in the mood to play music. I've been recording songs on my computer, but they are all really cheesy I think. Kind of knock offs almost. I recorded a song that doesn't sound like a knock off today actually, but now I hate it. I can't ever like anything for more than a minute.
Dear Fools Foundation,
I fucking love you because you are hosting The Advantage and Old Time Relijun just a few days apart and during the summer. Meeting Phil Elverum and Spencer Seim anyone? |

You all should go to both. Because I will be among the musicians onstage comprising the Twangling Jacks. And because we are ecclectic.

i havent written in a long time. i plan to continue that textual drought, with the exception of this entry which ultimately is just shameless promotion.
DO YOU ENJOY THE MUSICAL SOUNDS OF COLDPLAY, INTERPOL, OR THE PIXIES?!!?!??!?! WELL THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8th, THE TWANGLING JACKS (name subject to change based on when the rest of the band realizes that yentl or xanadu are much better names rather than naming ourselves after a shakespeare reference) WILL BE PLAYING AT THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS OPEN MIC NIGHT! WE WILL BE PLAYING A COVER OF THE PIXIES SONG WHERE IS MY MIND BECAUSE GUITARIST NUMBER 2, ZANE GRIFFIN, IS SUCH A WHINEY BASTARD THAT HE CONVINCED MIKE AND MYSELF TO JOIN HIM ON THIS MUSICAL ENDEAVOR RATHER THAN DOING A BETTER PIXIES SONG. WE WILL ALSO BE PLAYING AN ORIGINAL SONG (ALSO OF ZANE GRIFFINS CHOOSING) THAT SOUNDS LIKE HIS TWO MAIN MUSICAL INFLUENCES, COLDPLAY AND INTERPOL. I WOULD MUCH RATHER PLAY OUR POST ROCK, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY/MOGWAI-ISH SONG BEING THAT THAT WOULD BE MY MAIN INFLUENCE MUSICALLY, BUT ZANE IS WHINEY SO WE WILL PLAY HIS SONG. THINK COLDPLAYS RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD SONG DOGGY STYLES INTERPOLS A TIME TO BE SO SMALL AND THAT BECOMES OUR SONG, WITH ITS EMO TITLE OF "WINTERS". IT WILL BE COOL I PROMISE. COME CHECK IT OUT, EVEN IF YOU LIVE ALL THE WAY IN BOSTON OR SOMETHING! THAT IS ALL! MIKE VATTUONE WILL BE DRUMMING AS WELL AS SUCKING ON THE DICK OF HIS PREDECESSORS! IT PROMISES TO BE A GREAT SHOW.
it should be exciting stuff. i had pictures of me in kindergarten but this computer wont upload. |

open mic night was pretty fucking fun. it was scott, zane and i's first real performance as a band per say and it went alot better than i had expected. we had dave up there on the keys. except, the keys werent turned on. he was just up there for show and credibility. all in all it was fucking fun as hell. i was turned up too loud though because there wasnt a direct out for my amp so i just had to guess at the volume so you couldnt really hear scotts parts too well. i was disappointed because i fucking love his solos. im really glad the ramblers played because they are one of the best local bands out there right now. scott and i were talking to them after our performance and when they told us they were actually astounded by it we fucking shit bricks. being in a band and also being a groupie is a tough job. i went back to scotts for the night and astrid and jordan came over and we watched benny and joon. scott and astrid fell asleep on the couch in oblong positions and jordan and i sat in the kitchen just talking and such. those are the kinds of times with her that i like the best.
yesterday was our last official day of school. it looks like im out of cb forever finally. it turns out im going to miss more people than i thought which in most regards sucks dick. i have to go study. |

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
"He always says, 'You make beeg joke-hah?' I love him...there isn't one damn pillow in this house that I can stand."
whoever knows what book that's from is an absolute genius. |
