Destroying something beautiful →
Have I bitched on Tumblr about how Matador shouldn’t touch original Pavement mixes? If not, here’s the bitching.
Listening to the re-hash of Gold Soundz is like watching a cartoon where all of the original voice actors have been replaced with different voice actors. The loud guitar isn’t loud enough. The quiet guitar is too quiet. Don’t get me started on the spacial arrangement of the drums. The new EQ on the snare and bass drum sound sound terrible… the volume on the floor tom is WAY too low. And filtering Stephen Malkmus’ vocals? What the fuck man?
It’s like they remixed this to remove the “90’s” from the recording.
This is Walmart Pavement.
Not surprising. I had my doubts about this reunion and rerelease the moment I heard about it.
Art Talk
I’m impressed with how much I am enjoying printmaking. I’ve convinced my professor we should do a book project and a paper making demo. The aqua tint etching is ready to start inking and printing.
Ceramics is going fine but I am not enjoying it that much. Working on the wheel is still difficult for me. I get done what needs to get done but its tough.
I talked with some one about the graphic design class, apparently it is all non computer. I hope they offer it in the fall.
“Go Do” - Jónsi
Jónsi, I love you and you make beautiful music, but you are weird as hell. You should mate with Björk and create the strangest, most talented Icelander of all.
Mating is the most appropriate word to describe what would happen. I did some regression analysis of their behaviors and have some good predictions of what would happen.
- Their children would be born as eggs.
- When the children hatch at the age of 3 they will only speak backwards.
- By the age of 7 they will have evolved to a point of creating a cultural singularity that would turn the entire human race into pure energy beings.
- The stocks of Apple, Starbucks, and GM will be fall sharply on this news.
Boy Scouts is 100
“The BSA recognizes that some do not agree with its position on this issue and values the opinions of everyone as it teaches its members to use courtesy and respect at all times,” spokesman Deron Smith told the paper. “In the meantime, the Boy Scouts of America will continue to strengthen common interests, while respecting differences and will focus on its mission and on reaching as many youth as possible in order to help them grow into good, strong citizens.”
- Interesting that you left out equality. Glad that you stick to you guns to keep out evil people like:
- Atheists and Agnostics.
- Gay and Lesbian Fathers and Mothers.
- Congrats BSA, you keep discrimination alive and strong.
My Dream,
I was diagnosed with some kind brain tumor or disease, anyways I only had to the best of my knowledge a week to live. I was rather nonplussed about it. I would have dizzy spells, severe pain every once and awhile.
For the most part the dream was spent on a road trip from to my friends in Greensboro. From there we went on a road trip to LA. My friend Keith was selling some type of really amazing bicycle. He had his entire savings invested in the trip and the invention. Unfortunately as the dream ends now he was not able to sell his invention and we were at a lost on how to get back home. Needless to say I wasn’t too worried since I was on the verge of death the entire time.
Dear Tea Party Protesters
Go fuck yourself. You are worthless idiots. Your economic ideas draconian at best. It became painfully clear that the protests movements true goals is the living extension of hyper-conservatism.
- How does a country economy improve by punshing people who want to serve in its army?
- Is regulating marriage to keep it away from people who love each other not an example of an overbearing government?
You keep can keep the homophobia and racism. I don’t feel bad about the tea, just don’t toss my coke zero away.
