Hey Hey, the Waffles Mixdown
i didn't even sharpen it yet
Shure SM7B
AKG C414EB-P48
I do not like the Shure 57.
It’s supposed to be the standard for guitar mics.
But it doesn’t give a sound that I am satisfied with.
Orange AD30TC with a Marshall Cabinet.
Yamaha RXG neck with a Alder Jazzmaster body.
Or a Telecaster body.
Then all of the specs I mentioned before.
my journalism class is a fucking girls club.
i don't want to be a solider mama
Sometimes I’ll start writing an idea down.
Then try to incorporate a sense of some other experience.
And I start to feel pollution rushing through my mind.
Destroying everything I’d made.
Then my perception has switched and I find a new angle on the story.
Sometimes it is annoying because there is a familiarity to the angle, but it feels like a new chapter has begun before the...
i can't find the american sasquatch
I feel like watching Back To the Future.
I want noise.
I asked myself a question today.
Why did men dominant political and social institutions?
Today me, Ian, and Paul talked about religion as an evolutionary trait.
Ian talked about how we have turned away from nature based worship to this incorporeal pre-conception.
It made me consider philosophy now and then.

city by the lake
One of the songs Ian and I wrote during our three day songwriting experiment/bonanza.
I’ve been trying to figure out the chorus, but without Firat drumming I can’t figure out the groove. So, as Ian says, “if you can’t remember it, write it again”
I must admit I do like what I’ve come up with. A bunch of sudden changes which moves along nicely. Just need Ian to...
6 am
went to three brothers
now extremely sleepy
recharge stamina
napkins full of ideas
I'm kind of a sack
taking breaks between the lines
We are demoing take one of the first song.
Ian is throwing down the vocals and guitar.
Trying to decide on the tone.
Started around 11:30 and we are well into the mix.
Pretty damn satisfied so far.
More later.

Threw down a track last night.
DI with a 1/4’ to 1/8’ adapter.
I’m pretty sure it turned out all right.
There was little I could do with the signal as far as clipping goes.
(note: obtain new hardware)
It’s a pretty sweet track.
One of Ray’s originals.
He’s got a very particular style.
fuck man
I just went through about 60 pages of Sam Pura’s tumblr.
Then found Danny Rankin’s and tumbled through a few pages.
While reading all of this, I had this thought of myself growing older and near the end of my life, I begin to fear death.
The only reason to fear death is because you are not fulfilled with your life.
And that is almost the most important thing to me as a person.
So...
We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of...
The Evens.
Silkworm.
Fugazi.
Album I Can’t Stop Listening To: St. Vincent-Marry Me
There is choas in those twelve songs.
True, irresistable, choas.
Placed softly behind the words, tender possibility exist apart from contemplation and reside in experience itself.
Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins are of intense intrest to me as well.
I have to go see them at one function or another.

that guy stuff
Started at 5:30.
About to record a bit of this song.
If the guitar would tune properly.
Shimmer if you’re correct.

Fuck Bro-Core.
I don’t care about your cliched misogyny.
Those fucking simplistic melancholy lines.
Lets type in some keywords!
PAIN. WHY. COLD. MY HEART. EMPTY.
Any accusative objection of the word YOU.
OR!: Why you pain my cold empty heart.
It’s just so shallow, almost surface level.
Then you’ve got the flip side.

My next tattoo is going to be completely unoriginal.
Maybe throw in an XO somewhere.
I feel like I should make some sort of visit to the memorial before getting it.
To pay my respects.
