"Mad World" 2004-02-20 - 3:00 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj so I watched Donnie Darko tonight interesting movie I'm gonna have to watch it again to really wrap my head around it but it gets huge points for including two of my favorite things: Evil Dead and Joy Division Donnie takes Gretchen to go see Evil Dead and at the party, when Gretchen first arrives; 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is playing it was really well directed and when his friends were talking about the Smurfs, I was like: "but Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette, Gargamel did!" and then Donnie turned around and said that and I was like: "excellent" so that was cool in other news: it's a good time for music first, a label called 'Merge Records' is re-issuing the first three Dinosaur Jr albums which is mind-numbingly awesome words can't describe second, a long time ago; when I was first getting into Built to Spill, I did a search for any Built to Spill songs; and downloaded whatever one of the songs I got was an accoustic performance of a song called 'Liquid Boy' and it's by far one of the best songs I've ever heard so I looked all over, but I couldn't find it on any of Built to Spill's albums, under any name so I figured it was some kind of live cover; and looked all over the internet for the band who originally played it but no dice so I just kinda gave up but last night, out of boredom, I searched for it again; and found out that it wasn't a Built to Spill song but rather a song by Doug Martsch's previous band; a semi-grunge group called 'Treepeople' and although they're beyond 'underground'; and their albums are rarer than fuck, they can still be purchased at the website of their record label including the one that has 'Liquid Boy' on it I heard a little sample of the full electric version of 'Liquid Boy' and actually got a little aroused as soon as I get the money, I'm buying that album first thing so that's cool plus, this saturday(in theory) I'm going to see X with Robyn then on sunday I'm going to see Tokyo Sex Destruction with Ruben and on March 9th I'm going to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with both of them now I just wish I could go see A Perfect Circle; because I've heard they absolutely rock live and I don't need to be told how awesome Maynard sounds live his voice is absolutely indescribable live; it exposes CDs as the pale imitations they are APC played Lollapalooza, which made a stop in Pheonix; and it's always been a goal of mine to attend Lollapalooza but I didn't have the Goddamn money to get tickets which pisses me off but it's too late now but at least my band is doing well[theoretically] I dropped off a "drummer wanted" flyer at another music shop today; and the owner said he had a friend who might be interested so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about that and plus, we've got about 5 original songs now; along with 5 covers and we're waiting for a drummer before we go any further but I've got ideas for about 3 more songs to work on once we get a drummer which (as you've already figured out if you know basic math)equals 8 original songs; which makes for a good EP right there and a 13 song set-list I've got high hopes for The Remaining I just have to pray that things don't go as horrendously wrong as they have in the past here's hopin'...
