mmm... good morning.
went to see the rah bras last night and saw a bunch of old providence friends I haven't seen in ages.
woke up early and had a breakfast of leftover tiramisu and brownies from my roomate's recent baking spree. since then I've been sprawled in bed under the blankets doing esoteric math problems and smoking, listening to cd's from people I met...

got back from tour yesterday. It was incredible. there isn't room to put up all the crazy stories here, but I'll post a couple every day or something.
Iceland is incredible. the music scene is so small and tightly knit -- everyone knows everyone, works with everyone.. fantastic.

ok, after a brief respite I'm back on my 60's pop kick. How awesome is Georgy Girl??? It's totally my new themesong.
I was reading the other day about how Mahler was totally uncool in the 60's because his music is so effusively emotional and the 60's were all about cool restraint. The funny thing is right now all I'm listening to is Mahler and...

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. I guess my biggest worry is that I'll have to deal with a lot of scumbags, or that a guy from one of my classes would see me and give me shit. Has anything like that ever happened to you.
It's good to have a stripping mentor.

went back to the studio last night to put down one more cello track and then mixdown time. got on a phil elvrum trip and now there's this great super-wet tom-tom beat that comes in on one of the songs. echo-y drums + present girl voice is so captivating. it's makes the singing tha tmuch more initmate. makes the girl seem simultaneously very powerful and...

Feeling sad and a little wistful this rainy sunday evening. By chance I heard "Summer Song" by Chad and Jeremy on the radio today and it launched me into an mp3-downloading frenzy. There's something about softly sung love songs with lush string arrangements and perky brass accents that makes life seem less glum. Here is my playlist in progress:
* Chad and Jeremy * Summer...

well right now I study the art of diversion and procrastination. The idea is that I am to be studing all manners of Music/Math as it applies to music(i.e. accoustics). I don't go with any intent of getting one of these "degrees" I keep hearing about-I just like to learn-that shocks quite a few people that I use school mearly as a device to "learn" but thats it-So when someone asks and I dont want to explain I say something ambiguous and vague like"mutidepartmental degree" just because I've been in school almost long enough to get a Phd(enough credits to if they only fit into a disipline) So yeah-Today I get drunk, listen to music, fart around with the roomies, record at little and I've never felt so good doing so little-Xaqs a happy guy

my buddy brian was in town from seattle. we snuck into RISD's senior fashion show. got hammered on free champagne and chocolate truffles. completely knee-deep in super-rich, super-hottt, super-vapid art boys and chixx. Saw a dress made out of metrocards and almost puked the champers-soaked strawberries I was eating like candy.
What is it about art school students that makes me...

We haven't played out yet, because we're too lazy to write good songs.
Are you in a band 'round here, miss mimi?
