I couldn't sleep yet again tonight, I feel terrible.
Spring is so close, I hate winter.
School is the worst.

She dares all things
My favorite new band at the moment is Panda Riot, what a terrific name.
I really hope i can make music like this. They are taking the My Bloody Valentine aesthetic and running with it in a way that doesn't come off in a cheap or derivative way.

No Regrets, great night with my best friend
Another sleepless night by myself, weeee!
The Beatles are the love of my life. They wrote the greatest pop songs of all time, invented the music video, invented the concept album, pioneered multiple groundbreaking recording techniques, all in the span of 6 years. They make me want to stop playing music. At the same time, they make me want to devote my life to playing music. I've been up all night listening to their various solo projects.
Top Song by each beatle (post beatle days)
George -Wah Wah : it doesn't get more trascendent than this. It's like he caught joy in a cage and held a tape recorder up to it for 4 minutes and this is what came through.
Georgie Georgie! My favorite Beatle :D
Paul - Band On The Run : Each part of the song would be a good song in itself, amazing how he strings them all together. In a word, this song is epic (what an overused word by the way). This gets stuck in my head a lot.
John - Cold Turkey : On any normal day I would say "imagine", lordy what a melody line, but this is the track i've been listening to all night. The lyrics are about his withdrawl from heroin, perfect fodder for rock n' roll. I feel like this song is an example of solo John at his best; driving bassline, bluesy rock riffs, catchy chorus.
Ringo - err... : Look Ringo, you are adorable, easily the most lovable Beatle. However, I have yet to hear a truely great song that you actually wrote after the Fab 4 years. Instead of listing one of your mediocre tracks that I rarely think of, I will... well I just won't. I plan to name a child of mine Ringo, preferably the youngest, that has to cheer you up just a little, right? Hope that is a good enough conselation, we love you!

stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
I can't seem to make myself do schoolwork. I think I need to take a long break from all media, all I do is sit at my computer and waste time. Insomnia is back in full effect. I've been really reclusive as of late, I need to get out more.
I've been messing with my Tascam 4 track recorder, that's really fun. Wish my roomate would leave more, its hard to record with him around all the time. I have a billion half finished songs right now, I need to piece them together and get more final products before that show. I oscillate wildly from wild enthusiasm to deep self doubt when it comes my creative output, not sure why that is.
My top shoegaze band of the moment is resplandor, they're from peru, really great.
