Rural-wave

Im obsessed with musical genres, OBSESSED. I love how a new “wave” appears out of nowhere and you see it and say WHOA that’s incredibly stupid but so cool! Folk is dead, man. Now its “rural-wave”, bro. Rural-Wave, just like this Bon Iver track that Ive been enjoying over and over again, all month long. #soft [...]

Brain melt

Pull out the skull-candies for this one, its got alot of undercurrent and subtle layers. Im bone tired, been working non-stop and this track warms an already melted mind. Syrupy yeah, I don’t care; I like it’s viscosity. Lofticries by PURITY RING I’ve been hanging out around alot of LA/Hollywood/Vegas blogspots for a few weeks [...]

Sunday night

not a bad weekend, times like this are rare: I didn’t do a thing, not really. I was busy in my own little way but nothing heavy. Its good to chill out and hang at home, tomorrow starts a hell week but I’m totally ready to rock, got my warpaint ready. I’m glad to be [...]

Good Morning, from last night

This is #299 in a series of 305 that were shot at last night’s graduation ceremonies for the Garfield High School Class of 2k11. My second graduation attendance this week alone, it was fantastic; more on that later. Now: the Needle.

New look

tired of all the hodge-podge and click-throughs, lets water it all down and let it soak like this for a few weeks. The idea is simple: no more pages, no more buttons everywhere and a clean crisp appearance. Its tidy and I like it. I threatened to do this months ago but got so busy [...]

Sunday is for sneaking out the house..

080407-1619391

Sunday really was June 5, 2k11. Sunday really was a shred day, we went to Crystal and ripped around the mountain all day, just killing it in the Spring ski Mtn vibe, it was exactly what needed to happen. About ten of us went up, the whole crew was really tight so it made the [...]

Notebook for Wednesday

002

What a week its been, Saturday night found me on the tail end of a 45 hour, 3 day shift at my real job, I had barely limped in the door of my house when the phone rang with a report from Salish Lodge that my Hives had been toppled by thugs sometime earlier in [...]

Sonic Youth – Teen Age Riot (Cracks remix) by Cracks Then and now, I like em both. New week, new money and new issues; guess you could say its nothing new. We built a new Facebook thing this week so Ive been “logging in again”, getting reminders of why I cant stand the place, all [...]

Finally off the ropes

014

I went home Thursday @1pm and dropped more pills/potions than I care to recall, choked down some soup and was passed out by 2pm. In between then and now, (Saturday 8am) Ive gotten up maybe 3 times to eat and pop more pills or gargle more witchcraft. First thing I thought of this morning was [...]

Fagging out+Change

x2_39c89f6

Might be getting sick. Shit might be hitting the fan in my lungs…maybe. Starting to “fag out” as they used to say in old London. Congestion, swollen nodes and sore throat, plus I keep forgetting to eat, I get home at 7pm every night and realize Ive barely had breakfast yet, at 14 hours into [...]

I posted this jam sometime in 2010 (Summer) and it was received POORLY here. I appreciate that, it’s a really hippie-esque tune; I found your musical malcontent to be refreshing. Really. Problem is Ive been whistling it for 2 days straight now, in 2011. Cant help it, cant unhear it so here we go again: [...]

Timber-Man

wood

Nothing pleases me more at my new place than firing up the chainsaw in the front yard, bucking timber then splitting logs. I get some pretty big woodpiles out front and some even bigger stares. This town forgets all too easily its big-timber past. Well, that and grunge (clicky-click).

Ahoy

heavyseas

Its been busy, damn busy around these parts. I dont know how to hit the brakes, I dont know that i even want too. Ski Season begins its final countdown with the Ides of March looming; it puts alot of us in the final drive to get as much as we can in before its [...]

Night Music

trees at dawn

I scraped this tune off the wall @ Internet Jesus’ place and thought I’d autopost it for sometime this weekend. It reminds me of the late night expirations, both ember and ice for the past two weeks as I drowsily stumble off to bed leaving the murmuring coals of the once crackling fire to thier own [...]
