...cotton-wick candles on a kerosene cake.


*shrug*

my obscure two cents: the weakerthans, "anchorless" ('sunken cheeks and slender hands') saetia, "postlapsaria" ('my fingers shake with the fear of control') team dresch, "my dirty hands are mined" sage francis,"specialist" (razor-sharp teeth gnawing at my wris...

something to do with popularity, i think. not like a 'best evar' thing.

going to the house would not be creepy. now, going to the house and, say, writing "I <3 Elvis" on the wall in your own blood - THAT'D be creepy.

i have a friend who does ecstacy who's we call 'e-tarded.' she's a sweet girl, but man is her mind gone. she candyflips (acid and E at the same time), though, so maybe that has something to do with it. another friend was planning on doing cocaine this weekend. i doubt it'll happen, though, she doesn...

i'm digging this media blitz thing.

"Damn it Jim,
I'm not a magician
And actually not even a doctor.
I'm not a fucking doctor."


and


"I'm falling in luck with the look on your face.
Plug yourself in but your place is the space.
You are no Man from Atlantis, base-level bass level race."

my problem isn't so much that laws are based on religious morality, it's that a lot of laws are based on *conservative Christian* morality. most every religreligionion agrees that crimes with victims are bad things. it's the "lifestyle" laws that are the problem. without conservative relig...

No one would come. Rallies are for the strongly convicted, and only agnostics believe in a vague 'God' thing. Unless there was free food. Everyone loves free food, unless it's being given out by Nazis. Or Satan. But wouldn't that be kinda cool? I mean, it'd be a conversation piece for years. "T...

am i the only one that still buys vinyl? hmm. recent vinyl purchases (haven't bought a cd in ages): The VSS - Nervous Circuits (mid-90s goth/hardcore) You and I - The First 7" (mid-90s emo, re-released) Orchid - Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow! (spastic punk, 10") Atom and his Package -...

creepy can be romantic, in an odd way.

and yes, sexy poem.

yeah, North does seem a little torchy.

i'd kill to hear Tom Waits tackle some of those songs.

when you say "more pop", do you mean like Get Up Kids pop or Elephant 6 pop or what? GUK are a guilty pleasure of mine, but still... i had no idea they had a new album coming out until i saw the notice for their upcoming concert here on the local indie promoter's website, and they had clip...

it's heating up 'round here. c'mon kids, no one likes a flamewar.


let's all calm down and talk about something soothing and non-controversial, like how The Juliet Letters is a great album and how "Veronica" makes me want to poke out my eyes.

heh. yeah. hopefully i'll have enough homework to keep me from writing bad poetry.

mmm. i'm a little bothered that the record company isn't putting up a promotional website. i want Elvis to be promoted. i want people other than his loyal fans to actually give a damn. i mean, the first site was all 'it's the return of the angry young man, and by jeebus, it will SELL!!' and maybe it...

inspirational metaphors! or something. my friend asked me to tell her a story, and this is what came out. **** summer says, with infinite languid seduction and sprawl, 'there is no way to leave gently. the only door from here to there is locked with goodbyes and horoscopes that tell you to turn back...

i don't need essays or questions asked or anything like that. it's fun, but i agree with poisoner; it's a gift. what i DO demand is some up-to-date information. we don't need a complete overhaul (if they had done it right the first time, they'd have something that would work no matter what cd he put...

a streat team is basically a cheap way for artists to spread the news about a new album/tour/whatever. usually, whoever signs up gets free info and stickers and stuff with the understanding that they're going to put the stickers or posters up where they'd be noticed. this here EC thing looks like it...

it's just like saying, well, all umbrellas are red. s'just not true.

i got this in my inbox today: In recent weeks, people all across the globe have been using forwarded e-mails to coordinate "flash mobs," or not-so-random crowds that appear and dissipate within a matter of minutes. Is it performance art? The cutting edge of a new social movement? Or just a...

the Bush/Hitler comparison is played out.


...is it bigger than a breadbox?

may i start by saying that i <3 Clem Snide. the indie/emo/whatever tribute cd to EC (limited to bands/artists who are still functioning): 1. The Polyphonic Spree - Satellite 2. The Weakerthans - Rocking Horse Road 3. Grant Lee Buffalo - Imagination is a Powerful Deciever 4. Cat Power - Last Boat Lea...

i take offence with the notion that gay men are automatically desperate sluts. c'mon now, that's not cool.
