Using the cliche

“Actually if you look up ____ in the dictionary I’m pretty sure there’s a picture of ____ right next to it.”

But delivering it like it’s something I made up right there.

Uni Watch put an amazing post up about mid-century Iowa girls’ basketball (uniforms, obviously).

There is a lot going on in this picture.

My dad sent me this picture and titled it “Will as young hipster”

El Perro Del Mar - Inner Island

Keep forgetting about this chick. I musta listened to this record a hundred times at Red Cat. This song in particular reminds me of Vancouver.

Feelings Suck is now live.  It’s not exactly what I set out to make, but it forced me to break through a creative slump I was struggling with, so that’s more than enough.  Hope you find something on there you can relate to, or at least laugh at.  Happy Valentine’s Day. <3

Patrick Moberg’s things always make me smile. I think he’s a mad sensitive boy, probably.

This is really great.

Here’s a new demo I’ve been working on for a few days. There’s some bass note flubs. The vocals aren’t sittin right. Probably shoulda done another take, but oh well!

Xiu Xiu - Dear God, I Hate Myself

Personally I think this song is remarkable.

This was a fun one. Apparently it’s gonna be onscreen before previews at the Granville 7? If anyone in Vancouver sees it, lemme know. Cool.

The best promo I have ever seen.

Sometimes I actually laugh out loud at the internet.

For Some, a Warm Home is Not a Priority

Then there are those who seek out the cold for its clarifying effects. Winifred Gallagher, a behavioral science writer who lives in a warm town house on the Upper West Side, makes monthly winter pilgrimages to a century-old, “very primitive” former one-room schoolhouse in Long Eddy, N.Y. There is no water when the temperature is below freezing (she hauls it from a stream), but there is a wood-burning stove.

If it’s 20 degrees outside, as it was last week, it might be 15 indoors, so Ms. Gallagher will stoke the fire and go for a long walk; when she returns, the room can be 50 degrees, and 60 by bedtime, though it slides precipitously toward freezing as she sleeps. “The main reason why I do these winter trips,” she said, “is that when your house is 15 degrees, the only problem you have is getting warm. Focusing on survival is right up there with a Zen retreat when it comes to clearing the mind.”

And anyway, she pointed out, “we didn’t evolve to sit on a chair in a temperature-controlled environment staring at a screen all day.”

Into this.

Just for the record I’ve only turned my heat on in my apartment (bedroom) three or four times this year. So. You know.
