Hey, here's a few things, some old, some new...

So aaron and i had this show wayyy back in the winter and i sneaked this picture in there with some letterpress cards and things behind where forest was djing i think. i'm not sure if anyone noticed, but i got a kick out of it.
This is a kind of washed out picture of a painting i made over the winter. it is called california girl #2 and now lives at the bobzien's place.
Oh, here is my moped, gregory. This is from when i rode that guy from ann arbor to romeo one sunday. I love it so!

hm, that's all for now...

mixy

2009-12-21T10:03:00.000-08:00

here is a mix i made recently. one of the first i've done like this, using records and some songs from my computer one long track styleeeee. check it out if ya wanna.

1. tyvek - stop start

from the LP

can't get enough of the line "welcome to the fuck off side of my mind"
2. vivian girls - moped girls

from "moped girls" 7"

i sure wish it was summer...

3. girls - summertime

from the LP "album"

i think this record is one of my favorites from this year.
4. beach house - used to be

from "used to be" 7"

this song kind of has a wintry vibe to it...its that time of year so...
5. best coast - something in the way

from a blog somewhere out in the internet

messy pop music
6. the clean - tally ho!

from the clean anthology

love them.
7. television personalities - picture of dorian gray

from "and don't the kids just love it" LP

8. hey girl - a.b.m.b.

from "spill your guts" LP

some gals from california. i like when someone says "that was retarded" at the end of the song.
9. homosexuals - divorce proceedings from reality

from "the homosexuals CD"

i'm really regretting not seeing this band when they played detroit a while ago. they're so rad.
10. that ghost - friends in quotations

from "young fridays"

young ass senator from california.
11. oh sees - enemy destruct

from "help" LP

more from the sunshine state. thee oh sees are all over the place and it seems like they're constantly putting out records.
12. beets - go away

from "spit on the face of people who don't want to be cool" LP

when i went to visit my pal matt in new york he said this was his favorite band to see live in the city at that point.

13. yo la tengo - tom courtenay

from "Electr-o-pura" LP

i bought this record a few weeks ago? i like yo la tengo but never heard this one i don't think. i like this song because it's got a good 90's vibe to it. maybe it has something to do with singing about "a needle comin outta your arm" or who knows? pretty sweet jam though.

old song

2009-12-10T21:01:00.000-08:00

This is a song i made about a year ago. Its called "2 stroke oil." Written for my moped, Gregory. It is now a song that Rippers plays but is much different than this one. This is more like a deranged, weirdo version...lots of strange noises going on, even a radio station is picked up at one point..whooooa cool.
