  1)  Thursday/Envy split leaked

  I guess the Thursday/Envy split leaked while I was away.  What a good thing to come back home to.  I’ve been excited for this release for quite some time and after listening to the teaser tracks on temporary residence’s site it’s nice to finally hear the complete album.
  I don’t have the time [...]

  Hey people,
  Sorry for the lack of updates as of late.  I’ve been busy and will probably continue to be for the next few days.  Just letting you know I’m not dead.  Here are some things you might enjoy while I’m gone.
  1)  You like folkish country music?  Me too.  Listen to Jon Owen’s Texas.

  1)  Small Brown Bike/The Casket Lottery Split (Post-Hardcore)

  Here’s some more music that’s perfect for Fall.  
  Small Brown Bike and The Casket Lottery team up on this split to release a set of 6 collaborative songs.  My favorite moment on this split comes during the second song, at about 9 seconds in, there’s an almost inaudible [...]

  1)  Sailboats – 2 song demo

  Chuglife’s post on Loma Prieta made me think about how much I love their previous band Sailboats.

  “Sailboats was a band from Berkeley. In 2003 they recorded a 2-song demo and played several shows throughout California. Unfortunately, they were involved in a fatal crash, in [...]

  I’ve got a few things to share.

  1)  Us and Us Only

  Maybe it’s because Fall is near and Winter seems right around the corner to me but I’ve been getting really into singer songwriter stuff as of late.  It’s weird how a style of music seems to fit with certain seasons.
  I recently discovered the music of Kinsey Matthews, a song writer that [...]

  Obama talks with O’Reilly, Quebec – Together we have grown, Together we shall bloom

  1)  Obama’s Fox News Interview
  If you haven’t seen Barack Obama being interviewed by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly you should go check out the 4 part interview.  It’s about 30 minutes total.  Apparently the Obama camp offered this interview opportunity to O’Reilly so they’d receive some coverage during the RNC.  I think that’s a pretty ballsy [...]

  The Blog of Death

  09.08.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  The Blog of Death is an obituary blog that features well written obituaries on people that have led interesting lives.  The entries are really fascinating and make good short stories.  Hopefully when I die I’ll have accomplished enough cool things to fill up 3 paragraphs.
  “Some people believe writing obituaries is a morbid job, but in [...]
