crazeeee

So... it's down to the last part of installing and setting stuff up for wednesday. we are both just working away non-stop in the gallery space (and missed record store day)

there was no question that we were going to find time to make both the dead meadow shows this last week amidst everything else that was going on. yeaaaa! made it out to maxwell's on tuesday after much frustration with the damn path train. great small show, i was expecting it to be ridiculously crowded, but somehow it wasn't. got a good spot right up front next to the amps just behind all the 19 year old gear heads who stood religiously (still) in front of the pedal set up.

then deb's brother came into town and we brought him along to the music hall show which was pretty damn fucking insane too. saw quite a few familiar brooklyn faces there and ran into a friend or 2. i was going nuts nuts nuts nuts.

i think i melted thrice over.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! dead fucking meadow!!

Senior show postcards

So the senior show coming up in a few weeks requires individual postcards from both deb and i, so we knew ours had to somewhat go along because our thesis is together. so the main guideline was:

we were both going to have red rhinestone studded barb wires pouring out of our eyes into each other.

so we took some black and white pictures, went to the art store and got some supplies, each did our own thing in our own rooms (albeit a peek every now and then), and here's what happened...



I was listening to the mammatus record outside, doodling, scanning and photoshopping. then this one song came on and i wasn't quite fully aware since i was deep in work. at this point, i was fiddling around with the brain guts and hand reaching out part of the card and then i realized the music was just totally in sync with what i was doing and feeding me all these feelings! low heavy bass notes, slow pounding drums and a heart-wrenching roar and ughhhhhh, i am listening to the same song as i am writing this and i think i just wanna toss myself into the sea and mush into foam!

i looked back on my card just now after it was done and was telling deb how i got this whole weird human/deep sea fish creature prowling the ocean and sending out her evil fish minions vibe from it even though i did not consciously set out to make it that way.

and which brings me back to the name of the song i was/am listening to (i just repeated the song again).

"The Coast Explodes"

yessssssssssssssssss!

p.s. deb was blasting motorhead.

UGHHHHHH

david lupton i get you!!!!!! ughhhhhh

The Horrors She Is The New Thing

i want to do something like this!!!! and i think we will AMAZING

just plain awesomeness all around

ok...so as you read bellow, this week has been a pretty fucking awesome week in music for us.
the witch/titan/graveyard show on wednesday was AMAZING...now i have amazing new music to listen to (namely witch) and also a new crush...ahem ahem.
riding on that high (and the one from just watching Step Up to the Streets!), we went to another show last night at market hotel
and saw these are powers, old time relijun and some other great bands- the venue is an amazing space..lots of moshing again, we didn't quite join in but we were definetly going nuts jumping and just wriggling out to drone...fun fun fun! although it did take the assistance of a local crazy woman to help us find the place...somehow by looking at us she new exactly where we were going...hmmm wonder why?

anyways....in other news! i just wanted to post some amazing lyrics that i've had on my stickies for awhile:


WARLOCKS
the chelsea girl is in black and white... her golden hair in her hand
wires are running down her face and her garden is full with no room for you

BESSIE SMITH
Had a man in Black Mountain, sweetest man in town,
Had a man in Black Mountain, sweetest man in town;
He met a city gal and he throned me down.

I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun,
I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun;
gonna shoot him if he stands still, and cut him if he run.

great to be back

so i went off to maine for a week and it was nice being by the coast and in the woods but it feels the best to get back after a 12 hour journey with no plans made for the evening and then realize that I had an awesome show waiting for me. all i did in maine was stuff i didn't have time to do in new york anyway - buy music (old dead meadow stuff) and toys (two playmobil figures and i'm majorly regretting the fact that i didn't get the toy accordian)

i made it back in time to catch witch, titan and graveyard at luna lounge. of course it was raining as it does everything we/i head out to luna.

deb and i missed the previous witch show due to bad timing/bad weather/sickness/crap and i'm so glad i didn't miss this one. also managed to catch graveyard (from sweden) and they were rocking it. the singer had that type of traditionally good classic rock voice which i don't hear too often. i was also happy i manage to catch titan doing more of their psych/prog/metal thing since the last time i saw them, they were very very metalled out.

deb bought the really sweet gig poster that looks something like this, only with a dark crimson red in it too. we can't stop ogling at it like how we can't stop listening to 'seer' by witch.



witch closed with seer and people went nuts. some dude in the front was majorly headbanding and hair flipping about 3 people's worth of space and then some kids decided to start moshing, which i am totally down for as long as it doesn't involve me. i was right on the sidelines to witness the shit when it happened at a cheeseburger show at the knitting factory. that was fine, i love seeing people going nuts. but i was right smack in the middle of this when it happened. 180 lb dudes and i don't belong in a mosh pit together. they wake up the next day vaguely remembering prancing around to sweet tunes, i wake up with major bruises. yep.

i think i was pissed off at one particular point in time when some guy crashed really hard into me that i literally kicked his ass - kicked.his.ass... between.the.butt.cheeks.semi.up.the.crack

i don't think he felt anything though... hmmm. gotta love those damn moshers.

faith in fuzz...
