Mmm, Hmm

• Friday, November 12th, 2004 • 2 Comments

So it begins, the people from my past searching through the archives of my site to dig up mentions of them, very nice. I wonder if they realize I can monitor and see everything they search for… Spooky! I can see you…

Work was good. I left to go pick up food for everyone sometime around [...]


The Best Audio of 2004

• Thursday, November 11th, 2004 • 8 Comments

So, I was going to write up just some general summaries of music I’ve been listening to a lot that I like, instead of writing up my Best of 2004 post that I’ve been meaning to get around to… and instead, I’m going to actually write up my Best of 2004 post in lieu of [...]


Well, That’s That

• Wednesday, November 10th, 2004 • 6 Comments

Well, that’s that I suppose. I finally bit the bullet and obeyed myself despite my fear, and now all traffic originally meant for my old site, The Electric Biscuit, will redirect to this splash page (custom tailored for both IE and Firefox users). This is a bit of a scary day for me. Also, a [...]


Into the White

• Monday, November 8th, 2004 • 1 Comment

I am utterly loving the new Frank Black two disc Frank Black Francis. Though, I’ve only listened to the second disc so far which is very over-produced remakes of old Pixies tunes, which, although over-produced sounds like it would be a bad thing, is really fucking good. Highly recommended.

For those interested, current count of albums/discs [...]


A Reaction to Current Events

• Thursday, November 4th, 2004 • No Comments

We’re on a beach. It’s… sometime well after dusk. The stars that can battle off the glow of the bonfires are shining as brightly as they can above the ocean churning unrelentingly in front of us. There’s a bit of a chill in the air, a sharpness that can cut right through you if the [...]


Early Mourning

• Thursday, November 4th, 2004 • No Comments

If you want to spend a good eighteen minutes listening to one of the most incredible (erotic) story readings I’ve ever heard, you can divert your attention directly to “Rebecca (by Vicki Hendricks (read by Parker Posey))” (MP3, approx. 18MB, Right Click to Save). The fact that it’s read by Parker Posey makes it eighteen [...]


Alexi Murdoch

• Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004 • No Comments

I came home from eating and Bill jokingly asked if I’d like to go see Alexi Murdoch play at USD. I said, yeah, sure. He was surprised, and after calling the coffee shop he was playing at, we were on our way. We walked in in the middle of his first song or so. He [...]


Written Today (or so)

(Note: Most of this is stuff I scrawled down at Taco Bell in five minutes, but the first few things were previously in my journal. I wont put separators in between “parts” because I feel like that is pointless being that this is just random crap I scrawl down.)

And I spoke to her. I told [...]
