Its been over a week

and I'm sorry.

Well, to those three or so that still read this anyway.

Well, lets see here, Record Store Day was this past Saturday, and I was busy working at my job, of which has little to no relation with records. Anyway, I bet it was fun, I wish I could have gone, but I didn't. No worries anyway.

I've been working on my car, instead of doing homework, so that has been relaxing. I've got to throw my interior in, and paint a few more things, and then spend a couple of weeks swapping in a borg-warner T-5, which will be interesting.

I've done this thing called "falling in love," and I suggest some of you folks out there try it, its pretty nifty. Scary, but nifty.

Today, a HAMB mate from Michigan is coming down to hang out for a little bit, which will be sweet, it'll be rad to put a face to an avatar.

This week is culture shock in bloomington, its also Monsoon season in indiana, so we'll see if I go to that, or just hold off to see Pains the following week. Unless work scheduled me to close, which would be a suckfest. Oh well, a penny saved and all that.

At this point, I'm really stoked to go to prom, I know I'm in highschool v1.75, but I'm just excited to have a lot of fun, and share a night with my girlskis.

In other news, its raining, and my professor is five minutes late, I've got some listening to do.

With love,
-Wesley

P.s. Music stuff WILL return, just in due time. Everything is hitting the fan right now, and I'm rather busy, too busy to keep up with this or listen to anything that new. Anyway, L8r

Instead of doing homework...

I made this.

From the groggy "hellos" of a summer morning, to the infinite feeling of the starry sky.




Also, its a music post.

Maybe the only one for a while, but its mine, and music related.

Its not a substitute

Never could be. R.I.P. Garage punk will never be the same.

Well, I found a way to legally make mixes for freeskis on the internetz.

In english, that means, free tunes for you, and You (despite you).

Anyway, here is my first. Its about summer--and lo-fi--and holding hands.




I think I'll make one every week, for songs I'm listening too, or other themes. I dunno, Noone reads this anyway, just enjoy the music, internet.

I'm done moping, lets hear some tunes.

To all my readers, all four of you, I'm cutting the moping down. This is a decision that I made in order to actually not seem like I'm extremely emo. Just hot topic emo.

Anyway, what I'm going to try and do, is stick to pretty straightforward music journalism, and once or twice a month (or whenever necessary) drop a link to a band's bandcamp that I dig on, just to spread the word about the GREAT list of bands that don't care about money, and just want their music to be heard.

To me fellow noise-rockers, and lo/no-fi'ers out there. There is this band that has just about everything you could want, including free shit.

Ghost animal.

They rock.


They have a few of their eps on their band camp FOUND HERE (CLICK THE LINK AND LISTEN TO THIS).

This band is also on tumblr, and use that to post slews of songs.

The return of college noise, as this duo hail from a college in oregon, and would have been champions of the scene a mere year ago. Or should have been. They're really great. Aggressive on some cuts (California summer pt. 1), then its as though they're walking you home in a rainstorm (In your room). And all of their songs fall inbetween those constraints. They are are really good at capturing the moment of a song, and feeding it.

Howling "Why don't you go" in california summer just adds to the cathartic release that the furious guitar and punishing drum beat strive for. The snarky tone in the singers voice before and after just add to the feeling that he is being wronged somehow. "You don't want me to forget about you, the california sun 'hey baby tell me 'what can I do''". That should relate to you how the singer feels about whoever he is singing to, and should reflect the tone thereof.


Anyway, forget what I said, just listen to them. They just fucking rock. They're AS GOOD AS The dum dum girls, and every band of their ilk. If these guys don't break it big this year, than there is no justice in the blogopshere, and independant music.

Also, ghost animal, if you guys read this, not trying to S your D, just trying to be honest.
Also like free tunes, so if you keep doing that, we'll be right as rain.

Sincerely- Wesley (Reverb Splash; Echo crash).


P.P.S. if you don't want to click on that "oh-so-hard to click" link

I'll enclose a video. Can't wait to blast this, along with open pipes this summer. Stoked.
