(no subject)
Things have been... stressful lately. Wondrous, wonderful girl problems have arisen that I never foresaw. There was no way for me to, really.
I've started wearing M.'s ring again (the break from that lasted about four days).
I've developed an obsession with 80's music. It's really glorious in that what they did then would be new now, too. So many artists overlook what's come before them; it's depressing. There's about 15 bands in the Corvallis area that are all based on some current band, and at least half of those are based on the Thursday equation: one part thrash metal kick drum, one part triplet toms, one part root note bass playing, two parts bad distortion/major progressions (mixture outlined in Frostings section), and one part generic screamo vocals. The rest either sound like anonymous folk (or just bad musicians that think that all artists, no matter how bad, are good. This isn't a commune, but it works like one. Everybody is accepted into the Corvallis scene. Whether or not you get gigs depends: you must play either bad folk or rock. Nothing else will work) or anonymous rock. There are a couple of standouts (the band formerly known as Dot Dot Dot [I don't know what they're under now], The Stack, etc.), but they're so rare. It kills me.
Kai is killing me.
Beth is impossible to read.
K. is unattainable.
What's a boy to do?
