(no subject)
ok so i havent had computer or internet in many weeks so here are some updates on my life!!!
-the difference engine has recorded our new album. it is the kind of thing to get obsessed over, i cant stop listening to it. i finished all the art a couple days ago and mochael and i stayed up late to send it off to the cd manufacturing plant. we oughta have 100 beautifully pressed cds by july 25th. some of the album art is in 3d, and if you have the glasses it will make you want to vomit cause it dont stop moving
-im going to try to have a save-the-dox-pep-rally show in mayday park on july 20th the day before the board meeting. as many acoustic bands as possible, i think ill be doing solo as yacob, maybe the debutantes will play. anyone else want to sign up ill be making fliers soon
-ive been taking more control of and thinking more about what i put into my body. i quit all caffeine and most sodas about three weeks ago and i feel so great because all of my energy is natural and nothing is controlling my body
-i am going to do a detox right before tour, i think on monday and tuesday i will eat vegan and give up sugar, then from wednesday for seven days im just going to eat raw fruits and vegetables and cleansing drinks and maybe whole grains. then thatll give me two days of easing back into veganism right before tour, then its peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for life
-i love michael and blakely and all of my bandmates. we are going to spend 15 days on the road in our van together spreading love acrost the continent
-im all fucked up from shows two days in a row. my body kind of is. impaling yourself/balancing on a mic stand yields a bruise in your chest, and trying to drink lemon water upside down makes a fiery feeling in your nasal cavity.
-last night i wrote a solo song that is kind of doowop/xiu xiu sounding...somee backwards vocals and percussive air sucking in sounds, with washtub bass and singing on top. i wrote it all last night unplanned. its about a soldier. here are the lyrics:
the battle is long over
someone left a marked path here
burning flesh and piles of rubble
but it doesn't go nowhere
i sold my arm to buy a suit that
would hide my bodys rust
it's tailored up shut where my arm was
but i'm scared of my homonculus
will it have a separate funeral
when i'm gone will it be here
when the sky is smudgged and you're all
trading water for air
trading waaaaaaaaaterrrr for air
-i want to start making acoustic music in a graveyard and play washtub bass and vocals and saw and trombone, a country/jazz/industrial acoustic band. the difference engine is futuristic music as envisioned 100-200 years in the past, this would be antiquarian music as envisioned 200 years from now. so all of the styles would meld together and it would be more rustic sounding than music typically is, and there would bee more folk and blues and jazz and classical influences cause those have been around longer than rock and roll
-sean and i want to start a straightedge hardcore band. like minor threat/born against/wrangler brutes stuff. sean is going to be the proclaimer
-i also want to drum for the debutantes if my life works out that way.
-lauren from buffalo is an amazing person. i wrote her a letter and a mixtape yesterday and we are going to be in a top secret musical project together. i will just make sure to get that tape to you before i leave on tour. also i need your address and you can buy a cd before then so i can mail it. lauren has a really positive childlike view of the world.
-this guy is giving us (the difference engine) money to help us be successful, which is good since weve never been able to afford anything. we are his current project. he is kevin's friend and is a mortician so ourr endeavours and ourr album all got paid for by dead people.
- michael clark is the funniest and nicest person ive ever met annd also the most amazing drummer. at our show two days ago he set up one of his drums in thwe middle of the crowd then ran out to play it during one song. he also does anything i dare him too
-i really like people
-my fortune cookie said: "Your ability to find the silly in the serious will take you far." In b
