i work to eat and drink and sleep just to live
feels like i'm never getting back what i give
i've got a sad song in my sweet heart
and all i really ever need is some love and attention

sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself
sometimes sugar it just takes someone else
sometimes you've just gotta make it for yourself
sometimes baby you just need someone else

hellhole ratface - girls

I feel like this song really sums up the feel for the album. Maybe it is just my favorite track but after giving it a handful of spins you really start to feel an underlying longing in his voice and lyrics. Check it out.

hi, how are you.

So indie.folk rocker Daniel Johnston has an iPhone app out now. The 3D puzzle game takes you through colorful levels where you are trying to win back your girlfriend from what looks like the devil himself. The game is filled with Johnston's artwork and music, which makes for an great game you don't actually mute their inherent tunes. Besides the fact that I downloaded this app purely because it had Daniel Johnston's name on it, the game is actually done well. The controls are clean and the levels are fun. When you package this with decades worth of his artistic creations, the game sells. At the $.99 pricing point, why not?

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way

lover's spit - broken social scene

right now.

The room is filled with men and coke
And I don't break 'til midnight shock
Are you feeling warm tonight?
Turn it down? Well, I just might
The room is filled with ancient apes
Where I've been and what I ate
What I asked you drill them out
And ... every little doubt
The room is filled with gummy bears
Electric shavers, ingrown hairs
I keep the curtains high enough
You sleep on cotton, rest in fluff
The room is filled with catalogues
Encyclopaedias, books enough
To keep me busy in the morning
Sun sets fast without warning
The room is filled with cords and plugs
Electronic translucent bugs
And what's that crawling all around?
What's that twitching, is it still alive!?

cold roses.

So I'm working on a new project. I'm not really sure how this is going to end up but I want it to be some kind of sign/light that is the Ryan Adams cold rose symbol. This is just some etched plexiglass with some super bright LEDs shinning on it.

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

such a good cover...

broken ipod.

So I tried to fix my old, broken ipod. Apparently the battery was not the problem...

right now.

The turntables sizzles
Casting the spells
The pressure devices
Hell in a nutshell
Is any song worth singing
If it doesn't help?

Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking

daddy needs a drink.
still.
there is nothing better than a steel guitar.

right now.

nothing on the radio
not the wave my transmitter's on
put that drinking jacket on
and enjoy a little fun

albums.

So I finally got some of my albums hung in my apartment. From top to bottom.

Cold Roses - Ryan Adams
American Beauty - Grateful Dead
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

right now.

Well I hope that someday buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

Oh no, I see a darkness
