summer's end
Good morning, blogger update
A template edit was just performed, hopefully making our content more accessible for you.Below is the old sub-header text we ditched in favor of the foot down yonder.
Today is David and Alexis big day; our dear friends from Manhattan, so it won't be your usual Saturday around here, however I do have some new stuff to share with you soon.

drifter
last night's vstiboutus made me way self-conscience this morning..

..so here you go, a total stoner-thumper-humper.

By the way, @robinmead looks kinda hot this morning. LAter see you then, enjoy this one.

... but I'm troubleshooting Virtual Office.
Doesn't phaze me, I've got this groovy track in my head and soon, as soon as I click publish post you will too.
... ugh, I'd love to just make this great music and travel and not have to have a day job, seriously; I've got plenty of inspiration to draw from, these cubicle walls are not required.

...Just booked a trip for my 3 kids, gf and I to the west... so much more than a detail.
So many details to think about.
Here's a second version (to you) of myr maid.

update
So I'm listening to KGB Man's Angel on repeat and am a bit bummed. I think double nickels is finally over. I don't think Mike's girl likes me and most dudes will choose their gf's over their band mates for obvious reasons.
Doesn't matter too much, my production skills are getting stronger and I will press on.

myr maiden
The process was interrupted by A Skin Too Few: Nick Drake
So I'm almost certain the somber tone in the words is unmerited.
This was written inspired by the beauty of the young ladies
I see in the neighborhood pubs; the looks of looking in
their eyes. Don't look to long.

eX
Percussion recorded on 8/2/10 at 322
inspired by Micheal's simple and heavy rhythmic pattern.
The oppression in the track is real. Not fabricated or conjured.
It's an output of having so many responsibilities
...and not the resources to manage them properly.
It's something the modern
working class American can relate to.
It's a chant-ish white collar
because we all no white is the new blue.
It's also dedicated, somehow,
yet once again, to the memory of my eX wife.
My God, what happened to us,
what happened to this world?
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain
, that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works
perfect before God - rev 3:2
(I know that makes me so uncool,
but too bad,
I have to answer for
my life in the afterlife.)

pssss...
I'm dead broke and suicidal too, so it's not right for me to do a complete turn face and except y'all to have to pay for what I think should be free.... look for specially marked text for links to free music, published by 85Lives (plus most of the catalog is still very much free).
Need a hint? if you seek you shall find.

matter of time
So the way this all played out
the way we wanted it to be
the way we always imagined it
thru hazy sunblocks
thru wavy raised hands in class
it's all there
you never released it
you never prevented it
deep down inside
deep down you always wanted it.

try (VU inspired)
piper
First drop from complainers fear; tracks recorded after the second noise complaint at 322; creating
a decisively creative directional change in the sound,
more tonal,chillgazish;(less garagegaze?) -
you tell us.

Piper from Pearl Harbor is our covergirl (on this number at least) - enjoy.
