liner notes
I have a guitar, a little 10W amp and a distortion pedal. It makes noise, and the noise makes me happy. Hopefully one day I will be able to have a band that do a 7" ltd to 300 and tour in the back of a van.
My phone's ringtones are Orchid for calls and His Hero Is gone for txts. This makes me feel awesome.
ps. If you would like some tapes for real to keep and such, hit me up as I love slaving over a turntable for a day

This one is dedicated to all the dead profiles that clog up Mixspace. Why did they leave? Why have they not come back?
I took all the music from their various profiles in the order I found them while hitting "random profile". Every one can be found on the credited user's "favourite artists" list which I included in thier obituary.
I actually had a problem finding ones that were all 174 (or however many days) since the last login, so they're just random dead profiles.
14 tracks for the 14th

So this idea for a mixtape had been bubbling/simmering in my head for a while now and I realised it would only work in the context of an actual mix
The idea was to create a tape which told a story through a set of songs and that the artist and track names wouldn't be listed but rather their relavence to the story. So really to make a soundtrack for a certain scene or something. Pretentious I know, but very fun. This one is to depict a storm gathering and then settling.
Anyway, when Alice agreed to trade with me, and I realised my days are never produtive, I figured... let's get it on, this track listing is more for Alice's benefit (allthough I hope she listened to it before looking at this!) and to sort of share it with the rest of you
This is Side A

Contest 3 tape comin' atcha.
I wasn't really sure how to go about this atall, so I decided I'll go with songs that have titles that I can sort of interpret as having some personal relevance to my memories of school, or something, while also making something that is fun to listen to... hopefully

Personally, the idea of getting "my goove on" to Barry White, or Prince or any other funk or soul music just gives me the boke and makes me go limp. Thus, I felt I would do my service to the world by compiling a small mix of alternative songs, for and about sex.
"I wanna hold you and make you mine
Don’t want to control you just to have a good time
Livin’ in ecstasy, well, when you’re layin’ down next to me
Ooh...ooh...wee, ecstasy, when you’re layin’ here with me, uh-huh"

From side A of a tape I made, which was one side of happiness and joy (this side, obviously) and another side of depression and weeping.

*WARNING!!*ACHTUNG!!*ATTENTION!!*
Please don't rate this mixtape on the tracks it contains, but understand that these songs all have an enourmous signifigance for me in how they changed the way I thought about music and in a way, how I go about my life in general. These are the songs that birthed my love for hearing new sounds, the songs that birthed my love with DIY ethics, the songs that made me shrug off the people that dragged me down and made me take control of myself and be independant. Here are the songs that birthed my love with music in so many forms, and made me who I am today.

The 1000th Track Badge
Well, the obstacle there is like twofold...number one, i really don't know anything about percussion, so i'd probably end up just ripping off other bands drumbeats, either consciously or unconsciously. But maybe that's just paranoia on my part, that i'm trying so hard to do something new that i'm deathly afraid of not suceeding in that ambition, and that it's not really a super-complex instrument.
The other obstacle is that i really do want another person involved, even if i use a drum machine to have someone manipulating it live, or perhaps playing some other instrument. And i do like the guy who i play with, even though i'm not sure if he's still alive or what. He wasn't familiar with emo (and as that's obviously a big influence on me), so i made him a mix cd called "Attack of the self-titleds" and i just put a bunch of emo bands' self-titled trecords on it (Orchid, Neil Perry, Please Inform the Captain..., Mohinder, Hassan I Sabbah, a few others), and he really enjoyed it, the last time i talked to him.

ahhhhh, I hear you man...but he's been doing commissions for a long time, and books for a long time as well, all while making people laugh all over the world. It was bound to happen.
All those big fuckers sell out at some point, some just in a "classier" way. Sell out or not, the guy is making money with his art work, which is a task in itself, plus he needs to eat food.
p.s. It could be worse, he could be Shepard Fairey.

I just took a philosophy course this year through correspondance. I really liked reading The Trial and Death of Socrates but I felt as if...with a lot of material in the course...there wasn't enough room to delve as deeply into things as I wanted.
I mean there's always the surface analysing they want you to do...like this one example that Socrates used that's famous about training horses. And he said basically that you'd get a horse trainer to train your horse, not some jerk...and it should be the same for people.
But as much as they wanted me to analyse that and how it's a logical point...and how we believe that in today's society with the example of schools, there was no room for me to delve into the fact that yes we have that, but you could never teach horses classes. you couldn't have a group of horses as you have a group of children and that perhaps socrates was wrong in comparing that.
