$1000

Here's my cover of Weezer's 'The Sweater Song" with the ability to stream instantly:


If you listened, well, thanks. Did you like it?

I just watched Eraserhead a little bit ago. I couldn't stand it. I don't know how I made it though the whole thing.

Spontaneous Composition

The boredom begins...
Trying to save my short time left in summer. And I've basically got a week to myself, with my parents in New York, and most of my friends in Harry Potter World. Sorta...
but
ANYWAYS
I did
THIS:


today. I used one of those safety pamphlets they keep in the chairs of airplanes and some sharpies.

YUP

Hang In There Buddy

THIS


1. cardboard from a package of water bottles
2. material from a basketball shaped pillow
3. spray paint and not spray paint
4. nick nacks

Gave it my sister, to put in her cubicle, because apparently that place isn't fun? Or... you can just put it anywhere.

I kinda like making "stupid" artwork.

lookee here

This afternoon, after a good mindless rummaging through my closet, I became reunited with a teeny lost object shoved underneath some jeans and a box of toys. It was my 9x14 cm moleskine sketchbook guy. I had this thing, sometime in the midst of sophomore year, like two years ago now, and filled it with doodles and visual mind drools until it was lost and forgotten.
ANYWAYS, here's some scans:





(only 3 days till p4k)

its called rock 'n roll, mom

I recorded some sounds yesterday. Not really any music, unless, maybe if you're deaf and have very strong patience for things that are dumb. The whole file is about 30 minutes long, without any breaks, so I couldn't put it up to stream any where, but if you're extremely dedicated here's a link to the download:


These sounds were made originally, when Brady and I tried to jam a few days ago, and realized we had no instrument cables. So we put a mic into an amp, and played some things into that. Thanks errybody.

FOUR DAYS TILL PITCHFORK OMG

hair gel

I went to JAZZ KAMP at FSU for a week, a few weeks ago. It was fun.

the cool parts:


the not cool parts:

etc.

I mean, who can really deal with kids like that, besides themselves? Jazz is stupid. Its fun, but stupid.
