it seems that I have a black hole filled with unlimited hatred for things.... tho I am a very happy person most of the time but something clicks every now and then and I just start hatin' shit.
DJ Shadow show w/ Mos Def....
I wanna see Mos Def :( but Im not paying $80 for it.... how do you justify charging $80 for your shows exactly?? You carry crates of vinyl with you.... annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd thats it.... yer albums ain't bad but $80?~!?! Radiohead charged $85, Tool charged $80..... even Pearl Jam for argument sake is charging $100 i think for their show next month.... and these acts have at least 4 members and a stage full of instruments..... you trendy simplistic beat fuck.... Amon Tobin charged $23 and you have about a quarter of the rhythm and originality he possesses..... and while im at it.... please stop talking on the mic at your shows....
anywho, if it wasn't for the ticket price of shadow I'd be seeing Sonic Youth, DJ Shadow w/ Mos Def and Mogwai all in the same week.... but Sonic Youth and Mogwai will have to do :D :D :D :D

I wish the new tool album had less chug chug nu-metal bop in it.... and before you try and defend it, just cause its tool, doesn't make it NOT nu-metal bop.... slight time signature variations ain't enough to pull it away....
I wish we could change 'lest we forget' to 'lets just forget' and get over the whole thing...
I wish someone would buy me a Moogerfooger low pass filter with an expression pedal...
I wish Santa would define 'good'...
I wish for a cute dyed redhair girl as a toy...
I wish Ann Coulter could witness her own children die the same tragic death that she wishes upon so many others...
I wish for a smooth album production...
I wish I was traveling...
I wish I could guide the lost on their way...
I wish someone was here to make me food...
I wish someone would guide me cause I'm tired...

Vicarious sounds like schism pt.2
same production, slightly different guitar tones, pushed back modulated vocals. same style prog/tribal drumming. unconventional time signatures differentiating the riffs from nu-metal.
still a cool track all in all, not mind blowing. I just hope the album isn't a lateralus 2.

3 hours before the NIN show, i get a call from a friend saying he has a free ticket for me... yeh, i wasn't gonna pay $90 for it....
they did put on a great show.... and played burn, dead souls and reptile.... so i was happy
hearing hurt live made me a little weak.... weird....
all in all, it was a goth rave in there, most amusing...

To slowly piece together reality in the way I had left it, it would sure be nice to have a voice of comfort, assurance and guidance. So where could you be? Where are you to tell me I can take my time to relearn the simple gist of perception, after I've travelled so long and far in search of reasoning in the inter-connectivity and the harmonious-interaction of the world?
I feel that every step I take there in the learning process of here and now, I cannot seem to be able to retain what I knew and shared here with you. Your soothing voice of orientation not only allows me to explore amongst these foreign worlds, but more importantly, cleanses me of the paranoia paid on entry.
So I venture alone through ice-ages and numerous rise and falls of civilisations, and although I find my way back somehow with my newly collected objects, you are not here to provide warmth, understanding and a hand to rearrange these blocks.
I just want to share my findings, but for some reason you are the connection needed to extract the meanings.
Where are you?

everyone's going overseas. Alejandro (MY drummer, yes, mine) has already left for switzerland then colombia for 2 months. Diego (other guitarist)is leaving at the end of the month for 2 months as well to colombia and Kurt is going with him and travelling around south america for at least a year.
so 3 of my best brothers are all fucking off, no band practises :( :( :(
Kurt's 25th birthday last week was pretty massive and very very messy, the most partying i had done for months due to work. I did get myself in a lil' bit of trouble however, tho its all fine and sorted now.
im leaving 301 studios cause my mind isn't focused on engineering right now, my head's in a writing music head space rather than plunging myself in the technicalities of a recording engineer. I'll get back to it at some point.
saw adaptation, it was brilliant. simple as that.
