SKELETON OF NEW

so today I sat down and did a tiny skeleton jam on the keys for this new song i've been messing around with called "i had a thought so I wrote it down in sound." it's real simple and straightforward as of now but we shall see what the boys do with it once I toss it there way. it's repetitive but it's just the skeleton of the song, sorries girls and boys.


DOWNLOAD. I had a thought so I wrote it down in sound


it will be part of the Early Morning Thoughts EP

beacch houuuuuuse

my bloody valentine is fucking amazing. I've been listening to the band since about 11th grade when some kid in my math class told me it was my duty and handed me a copy of isnt anything..this is a set I heard about where they just did a noise jam.




i love this band a lot right now, it really sets a peaceful mood in my head when I listen to them so hear is a three part thing of them playing in a basement on the really super cool musical critical gods that are Pitchfork.

*remember kids if you get a really really really super amazingly god like review on pitchfork aka 9.7 or 8.0 you can be the new it "indie" band for an amazing 6 months to a year.

all bullshit aside, i really like this band.

Early morning thoughts ep: another song

i went for a walk around my campus for a short bit after I attended to some money issues so I decided to make some sound to go with it, so that when i'm walking on campus by myself I will remember that day and laugh or just plain vibe out on it.





so thus far The Early Morning Thoughts EP is:

mixdown dawn

this is a mix I made  from observations in the community college of philadelphia library, i was over there the other day and it was quite interesting just observing people.


animal collective-loch rave
espers-flowery noontide
liars-the other side of mt.heart attack
the brian jonestown masacre-open heart surgery
miles davis-summertime
the roots-the return to innocence lost

early morning thoughts ep's new song

lately it seems to me a good thing to do...just record whenever there is a thought of idea. it just seems right and it's been helping me filter my thoughts down and eventually maybe even come up with solid ideas for future songs. all these songs seem like skeletons. if anyone likes them, thanks a bunch cause I know there out of nowhere but..hey why not?

sunday I had a dream about the ceiling falling off and waves were seen



on another note,

yesterday my ears found me listening to the sounds of neil young again. man I can really respect a person who creates such honest music in so many different angles...his music makes me feel like fucking hiking while being surrounded by 20 ft trees. i dunno.

a thought:
a couple of posts back I wrote about a a white tent in a room with music coming from it, well I've been thinking a lot but in a slightly different way. the white tent idea is great but i think it's been done before, not that it matter but ya know. so i was thinking of film and a projector screen, i'll admit I've tossed this idea to the guys like 1 million times but this time I have a tiny twist to it. I want to film interviews that we have with people, asking them questions about life. questions about things like collective memory, dreams and so on. interviews with friends, bands, moms, dads, little kids, loved ones, dogs. then we can display those interviews on the projection screen while we play and also make free interview dvds for people. my mind is going to explode!

early morning thoughts


in the morning i have these things called sound thoughts, it's a really stupid and lame name but it's what i can think of as these thoughts. so what i usually do is play some sort of instrument or mess with sound in some way, well now I am compiling some songs and forming an ep called Early Morning Thoughts. it will def, have some sweet jams to come with the likes of shawn and tonyeeeeeee coming soon as well, maybe even a afternoon nap time.

copymicroMIX

so i am very interested with deerhunter/atlas sound and to be more specific bradford cox, I mean this is a guy who is giving away free music all the time on the deerhunter/atlas sound/loutus plaza blog. he just makes songs then puts them on the blog for free download, fucking great! anywho, I've decided to go of with what he is doing by posting some of our own micromixes for download as well as all the songs we come up with individually.

grass songs

our first show was played and it turned out to be a great learning experience for all of us. there were some bumps in the road but there were plenty of gems that we are planning to exploit. as soon as September rolls through we should be back in full swing with shows, eps, and short visual pieces...oh and maybe some day-glo.
sidenote:
the two pieces of music we have up on myspace are just brief experiments in sound. soundtrack to a film?
