Or compressor, for that matter, which probably would have benefited the tone greatly... oh well! Lo-fi is the new whatever. The download link is:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?2ohamqtonha">I COULDN'T LIVE ON PLANET EARTH FOREVER</a><br /><br />I decided to post it because I am feeling it right now.

The first song is a mounting reverberated bloodbath, the second is a really sloppy Fleetwood Mac cover. There's like a minute-long gap where I'm trying to get the omnichord to work and the loops just keeps playing. Still, I felt that it was maybe worth sharing, as many people I know are a fan of this song.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MARKSTORIANS:</span><br /><br />I.

Then I wrote it some more. Then I asked my friend Jessica Collins if she would sing on it. Then she did. <br /><br />Jessica Collins makes music under the name Beru. She used to make music under the name Uncle Owen Aunt Beru. She is honestly one of my favorite artists around right now, and not just because she's my friend. Her album "Black Seas" was the soundtrack to many trips on the bus to strange places; "Spaces in Time" and "Earth is the Right Place for Love" the soundtrack to many excursions around town, when I needed the extra push to unlock the beauty in the ordinary that particular day. I'm so thrilled that this song happened. It's called "Diorama"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ymnm4mnw5dz">Download Here</a><br /><br />You can listen to more of what Jessica has cooking here:<br /><br /><a href="myspace.com/uncleowenauntberu">Beru on MySpace</a><br /><br />She also has a tape out on the Thor's Rubber Hammer label, which you can check out here:<br /><br /><a href=" http://thorsrubberhammer.com/?p=146">What Would I Do Without You</a>Smanxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04634530090297486497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573147675553573679.post-19412410205050774772009-06-13T14:18:00.000-07:002009-06-13T14:19:10.815-07:00Boy survives being struck by meteoriteBig deal.<br /><br />http://www.impactlab.com/2009/06/12/boy-survives-being-struck-by-meteorite-going-30000-mph/Smanxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04634530090297486497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573147675553573679.post-14064232902389966182009-03-25T12:09:00.000-07:002009-03-25T12:10:10.594-07:00So close!He could have saved the world.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x3-yYnXm72A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x3-yYnXm72A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Smanxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04634530090297486497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573147675553573679.post-32209587250423763662009-03-20T23:39:00.000-07:002009-03-20T23:44:12.048-07:00Could be worse--it could be raining.<br /><br />If, that is, by "raining", I meant "you could have paid $9,000.00 (!!!) to talk to an ashtray".<br /><br />I think I'm going to make myself a sandwich and watch Letterman instead.<br /><br />Then my life will have been all figured out. <br /><br />See?

Maybe not.<br /><br />Last night I dreamt I was in an enormous store. It was an absolutely enormous, dull-colored warehouse with that kind of concrete floor that never looks clean. It was exactly like a Costco in appearances, save that shelves were few and almost the entirety of the inside was a fifteen-foot deep glass tank that was full of Alligators, and Crocodiles, and Caimans and Gharials and what have you. The tank was almost the size of the store itself, stretching on for the size of a city block in either direction. Moms and children were about with their shopping carts and they stopped and they looked and they pointed and moms told their kids little interesting factoids before going to look for the Brillo pads or greeting cards for their aunts and father-in-laws.<br /><br />A hole opened up in the ceiling and an immense platform on which stood scores wild horses lowered down the tank. Everyone became excited and the tank became the center of everyone's attention. They wanted to see the horses fed to the hungry crocodiles, lazy and uncaring as they were, sliding along the bottom of the tank. The platform tilted and horses tumbled frightened into the water and the surface was upset.<br /><br />*gasps* look! They're feeding them!<br /><br />No sooner had they hit the water than had they began to move as gracefully through it as they would on land.<br /><br />"I read in a book that horses can live underwater" a girl told her mom.<br /><br />The horses ran through the water away from the reptiles. They formed a herd and ran far from where I could see them.<br /><br />Then they charged like stampeding cattle from the other side. They trampled the crocodiles to death and they shattered that dense glass and water burst with unimaginable force, sending water and glass everywhere, flooding everything.<br /><br />I was in the hospital later. I had lost my left leg in the stampede.<br /><br />"You're a hero". They said. They gave me a purple heart. But I wasn't in the army, so they enlisted me and gave me a uniform, and gave me a purple heart and honorably discharged me.<br /><br />"No", I said. <br /><br />"But god knows I'll never ride a horse again"Smanxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04634530090297486497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573147675553573679.post-13586586446824266032008-12-17T12:51:00.000-08:002008-12-17T12:56:23.945-08:00Excellent to listen to when it rainsI never got into Modern Japanese Music, or hardcore, but this album is both and it is truly excellent, especially when it is dark and raining outside and there are loud rain noises.
