Baths

I recently hung out with some old distant high school friends. Usually that's something I don't like and I stay away very far from, but I really enjoyed it. Everyone was engaged in really interesting things, like farming, copywriting in LA, playing music in a band, traveling the world, and moving to a new big city up north. One of our friends is in this Bath's video Lovely Bloodflow (the main character). What an amazing video! I already loved aminals by Baths, but hadn't listened to much more. I guess Baths is in a similar school (group of thought) to someone (a DJ of sorts) my coworker follows from LA. He was telling me about the offbeat clicking and clapping of found sounds, like pens they use. Anyways it was refreshing to be around different and new ideas. I constantly surround myself with the same people, and sometimes just based on proximity I forget so much more exists! I'm obsessed with Rain Smell right now, it's so sad and beautiful. I think sometimes the sad and beautiful songs just remind me of the human experience that we are all apart of. Reminds me of a quote I read recently that went something like, "Only when one experiences true sadness can he feel happiness in its true meaning" ..let your heart be broken into a million pieces. Sadness has the power to introduce a crack into our reality...and cracks ... are how the light gets in. I paraphrased from a few quotes at the end there, but I really feel like I've experienced a truly broken heart, and I don't really know if you recover or if you just survive and you're just better and more beautiful for it. To have loved. I want to love again.

Speaking of Adidas. I'm the merch girl tomorrow downtown at Jimmy Love's for my friend's band's EP release. I think we're all wearing euro trash adidas track suits. I hope so at least.

lately

i like to imagine little children made out of marzipan in a marzipan world. it'd be like claymation but they'd all look like fruits in different colors with eyes. remember when skunky mcfunky told me he hoped I found what I was looking for? I kept his letter and chopped it up and glued it into a notebook, that's somewhere in a closet at my parents. it was poetic. I was 18 and now I'm still the same drifter... or maybe i just lost myself for awhile. a long while. delete delete delete. i don't want to be this free spirit everyone seems to say i am. i want roots. i want what they have.

magical nights in OB getting illegal beers, making out, picking up hitch hikers. or going to estate sales with marina where the ceilings were falling in - it smelled, but there were a million treasures, and thousands upon thousands of owl collectibles. hidden everywhere. setting up a backdrop in the forest and developing my own film. going along with everyone else just for the experience. silent night car rides with the windows down because everyone else is smoking cigarettes. i want to cry. i want to be young forever, and now all my friends have gone to big cities and found nice boys, and i hate the huge cities, and all the people and the egos. i don't care what you do, and i don't care that i don't have a career, just that everyone does and measures and calculates and measures and calculates. i want to be the exception so bad. but i'm not, i'm the same, and i'll wait forever.

Daft Punk

NEW FUCKING SINGLE. Daft Punk reminds me of ALL good times. Carpooling on the 5 with Jenna in high school. Partying in Columbus with my cousin, Kate. Partying in Columbus, period. And right fucking, now April 2013. I'm making strides, and I'm learning what I want. I want it all, so bad. Life is beautiful. 

UP ALL NIGHT TO GET LUCKY

we've come too far to give up who we are

this dood is annoying, but this is the only one I've found with Daft Punk in the middle over Pharrell.

Update 6/2/13
