9/27

New Mark Mcguire is fucking amazing. Get it.

Today I went to one class and ditched the other and wrote a really long thing about Binghamton, in relation to how shitty it is. I'm not gonna post it because it's really depressing haha but it's worth noting that after I wrote it, I looked up outside and the clouds opened up and there was blue right above me. It felt really amazing. The sun's at least always fighting to shine, even behind the thickest clouds. It made me smile.


Boston this weekend. Video's will ensue for sure.

9/26

Had jack shit to do today, first weekday in a while I felt totally free. So I did a lot of jamming, and wrote this:



It's very improvised so there's a lot of notes that are just completely out of key haha but it comes together pretty well I think... definitely something I want to give some format. I'll call it "I'll Never Find My Skateboard." Also there's like a minute of me just fucking around completely at the end hahaha so you can stop listening at like 8:50.

I have 2 or 3 more from today so if anyone actually reads this blog (hey Tyler,) and you dig the tunes, I'll send you them, they're a bit too long for uploading on vimeo. They're all sloppy as fuck.

Plans

YOOOOOOOO so I sort of died out on the whole video taking thing. I'd like to say that I'm gonna get back into it, but I don't want it to become an obligation. If I do get sick viddies I'll still post em.

Uhhhh so needless to say, I haven't been using this at all. But I've been keeping busy and I think what I'm gonna start doing here is just taking videos of some of my jams and posting them here so I can sort of have them forever. What's been happening recently, which sucks, is that I've been jamming and getting really into it and not taking time to write anything down for the process, so essentially I lose it unless I can remember everything at the end and scramble to write it all down. BUT, if I just take a sweet little viddy, I can have it forever. Problem solved.

I don't have any videos yet... but me and Greg and Kenny have been jamming as a little mini band and we played our first show tonight so there will be videos of that. I might not post them though, because I fucked up pretty hard. As it turns out, I'm pretty susceptible to stage fright. Who knew?

I have some decent mixes I've been working on too. I'm gonna post it as soon as it finishes uploading. It's a good mix of oldies and some newish songs. I start making it when I first heard "Helplessness Blues" and, thus, it is titled appropriately "Helplessness Blues." A lot of these songs just have some pretty overwhelming feeling in them, or it least it makes me feel really a big rush of emotion. I dig it. I'll post it once I figure out how to get the fucking songs in the right order.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to order it. Fuck it. All the songs are good so just listen to them.

Also it's worth saying that this year is going just swell thusfar. My house is perfect. I've had a real good social balance too and I've been getting all my work done. So that's good.

Maybe I'll post some of my writing here too, but that shit's all depressing as fuck, so who knows.
