Fresh Threads and Dan Deacon

You like my new blog layout?

It's under construction for the moment

Anyway...

This is old news to me but I figured I share it anyway.

There's this guy out there from somewhere. I think it's a place called heaven, but his name is Dan Deacon and he is fun. His music is wild and fast. His beard is beastly. And his shows are sweaty. Check out the vid below from an old Pitchfork show.

And check out some of his tracks. Enjoy!!

Jeremy Fish & Chips

On my recent visit to Fecal Face I came across a familiar name on the front page. Jeremy Fish. My old roomate in Philly stuck a bunch of his stickers on the kitchen table and they were there until we moved. Really interesting, very detailed stickers. Funny in a sort of thats-a-little-fucked-up kind of way. So when i logged in at fecal face and saw that I wanted to know what was up. 

Apparently he's dong a show from June 21st through July 26th at the new Joshua Liner Gallery in NYC. I think I might have to stop by once or twice. 

Anywho, Fecal Face did a really nice article and "art adventure" on him.

So I do admit, I've been jumping on a lot of band wagons lately. But I really don't mind cos they're all so beautiful. This one I found via Blogotheque creeper sesh. [See vid above]

The group is called Bon Iver. The stage name of a Mr. Justin Vernon. He recorded his album, "For Emma, Forever Ago" in a cabin in Wisconsin.

Throw Me The Indie Pop Rock

Came across Throw Me The Statue recently during one of my frequent stops at La Blogotheque.

TMTS is a band formed by a Mr. Scott Reitherman hailing originally from Cali but now residing in Seattle, WA.

If you like these vids from Blogotheque, I highly suggest you purchase his latest release titled Moonbeams out on his label Secretly Canadian.

New digs

Browsed Fecal Face for a little before. Came across a neat article about Corey Andrews of Deadliest Catch fame. On his spare time from having an extremely dangerous job in the Beiring Sea catching Opies, he shoots brilliant photographs. The essay on fecal face is his "how-to" on becoming a crab fisherman and eventually turns into a mini blog featuring some of his shots.

Au Revoir!

Fare the well

I quit my job today. And boy, do I feel extremely relieved. That job was like a pit stop, well...more like a detour on lifes highway. It was actually like waiting at a very long red light that you'd think would change...but never would. And all the people at that stop light would only think about that light. All the time. It was their lives. The lady in the red mini van would inch up once in a while, but in the long run would just end up staying there. I on the other hand said fuck red lights. Don't need em.

Now I'm back on my road.

I hate people talking about how jobs are only for supporting families..which they are, I get that. But if you're going to work to support your family, why wouldn't you want to be happy at the same time? You see what I'm getting at? People hate their jobs, want to fucking burn the buildings and piss out the ashes, you know. Their lives are destroyed by these jobs.

I feel...that if people enjoyed their jobs, woke up every morning to face the day without the stress, the world would be a much better place. And...it's totally possible to get a job you like!! So why the fuck not! If you love music...be a musician! Be a radio DJ! Be a fucking entertainer! If you love art...be a god damned graphic designer! Work in a museum! Do something with your life that will both get you satisfaction and money to support yourself and others. That's all I'm saying.

Go for it.
