On Music, Life and All Other Foolishness

So yeah, here's another blog post. Fuck me I keep forgetting about this place, but then again I've been kinda busy with life and all that jazz so sorry person who reads this.

So yeah...you should totally start listening to stuff from Plan-It-X Records, because it's so beautiful that it makes me tear up, smile from ear to ear, get angry, and all that jazz. Oh yeah by the way I've gotten into folk punk really heavy. I want to actually make the music, go on tours, and hopefully get signed on Plan It X someday. I mean, because they're such an amazing label with a great business ethic.

For legit, check out some of their music:

And here's the newest from Ghost Mice and Ramshackle Glory, two of the best folk punk bands ever.

So yeah, this stuff has been pretty much my life for a while. You should totally listen to this stuff, because I think this music and action can help change the world, if not that then the neighborhood you live in.

The Night and the Soul

Why is that the night makes us different creatures? I mean, I've had more deep conversations with people at night than in the day. At night we seem to loosen our collars as a soceity. Think about it, how would anything we did in the night fly at day. What about the night turns us into more primal creatures? I don't know why, but I like people at night better than during the day.

I mean...being with friends at night seems more real than hanging with friends durring the day. You get to bond more, you say stuff you wouldn't normally say. Even if you don't drink, you still seem more primal and raw and real at night. Is it the moon? Is it the air?

I honestly don't know, do you?

Poetics

So yeah, I've been busy writing poetry on Lit Kicks. I figure I should probably post the stuff here too, just so the place doesn't look so barren. And you can bet your boots that I'll be posting the best ones as PDFs on DA in the summer. I just realized that I'm going to be one busy motherfucker in the summer. I've got some music projects lined up for then too, and hopefully I'll be able to work my electronic music software, and if not I'll use Audacity or some shit. So my Soundcloud will have stuff on it too.

Anyway, here's one of my poems, "Sunrise Library". Oh also I'm poetpunk on Lit Kicks.

Sunrise Library

Step through the door
to the Sunrise Library
and indulge
in solar delight,

Open a book on the
Secrets of Sunbeams
or the tome of the
Moon Rainbow,

Lets delve
into the Archive
to see ancient
sunbeams that have
yet to pierce
the depths of space
to become a star on some distant planet,

But let's look beyond the basics
and in to the shadow of the Sun
and see a darker side of light,

Prying apart the folios and archives
to see how our so called "holy sun"
sears and slays it's own worshipers
whilst entropic decay has it's way
with the solar structure,

Slowly the Sun expands
and eats the messenger of
gods long since abandoned
and turns another into
a melting mess,

Ra keeps reaching out
from beyond the stars
but Apophis is a step
and a half behind
with entropic decay
and deadly gamma rays,

So it seems
the Egyptians
weren't so far off
the mark after all
for one day the sun will be swallowed,

But till then
let's enjoy this sunrise
from atop this
Heliopolis
named
The Sunrise Library.
