the sickness

so it hit me again tonight. how i dont even get pissed off when i find someone has started a blog, written a few posts, then ditched the idea altogether....
they start to actually write something, then stop. i could give examples but that would just double the internet, and we dont need that, now do we?

at the same time i wonder how to get more action on this puppy. for a while i was showing what i was doing in the studio. traffic dropped off. then i started posting info on shows. naturally, no one cares what the hell i am doing musically. i dont want to use this for the same reason people who dont use twitter hate twitter; constant updates of useless information. i get it. i see it. i try to get around it but end up looking back and see the same kind of false self importance those that hate see in any micro blogging. im not using this soap box to eat chips off of it, but i might just do five word reviews of movies. i think thats helpful! or at least funny, i dunno.

so here. i did this for a show that, in the directors own words, will be a shit storm of sound.


thunder perfect mind













ben jacobs, the director of the Basilica project, seemed to enjoy some of my tweets and facebook links to some past drum work i had done. match that with my not-so-secret-but-hardly-public musical experimentation and well, im playing drums in a post-graduate tech-metal drum circle.... how very post-modern!

quick aside: folks need to stop using the word modern when they mean contemporary. this goes for visual Art, Design, Music. and well, anything that is post-anything really. i bugs the crap out of me to hear someone refer to a "modern design" that is clearly based on source material from 1970 +. that time line means "Contemporary."
the internet isnt a modern thing. it is now. it is contemporary. the latest fuck buttons record isnt modern in its use of instruments. its contemporary. hal hartley films arent about modern film ideals. theyre contempoaray.


ok. sorry.
ok. not really.

but you get it.
i hope.

so dont think i will stop hitting this page a few times every once in a while to just tell you whats up. thats what its for. hell. the beer isnt always that cold. not even a little.

and dont mind the tags for this post; im just trying to drum up some traffic.
