Once upon a time, there was a writer who spent far too much time at work, spending a bit of his other time sleeping. Yes, me. That writer had the good fortune of having an interview with Hello, the Future about her new album, Giant Robot Album. It’s her first album featuring a full band (The Long Holidays) accompanying her music, and it sounds fantastic. Continue reading

Here is the First Song From My Forthcoming Album!
I am hesitant to use the Reblog feature on WordPress because it makes it feel like Tumblr, and Tumblr is where I go to post my fanatic obsessions with TV shows…Er, disregard that.
ANYWAY! Far more important, you should check out the musical stylings of ericjohnbaker (that other crazy writer-guy whose blog, www.ericjohnbaker.wordpress.com, you should visit; go do that now). Then go show support for him, and Full Blown Cranium, by picking up their song on iTunes or Amazon.
Why? Aside from it being an excellent song, must I once again stress the importance of supporting artists in all their endeavors because it’s art that makes life tolerable? Yes? Well, you go ahead and sit in the corner, thinking about how difficult you’re being, reader-I-just-made-up.
Anyway, check out the song, buy a dozen copies for you, your friends, your family, and your dog or cat, and if you’re a graphic designer, or know a graphic designer, you should probably shoot Eric an e-mail.
On getting better
A while ago, a good friend of mine (who I’ll refer to for the sake of this post, as I refer to him in general, as Doc Martin) posted the video I’ve attached (shared? stuck to my blog so you’ve got to at least notice it if you read this post?) below to Facebook, and it really resonated with something inside me. Probably because I was still at a point where paying back student loans seemed like figuring out some long-dead, alien language never meant to be grasped by humans, looking for jobs was still a terrifying prospect, and I was fairly certain I would never figure my life out.
Much of the above remains true, and the song still resonates with me.
Creeping back from a little slacking
I’ve been brainstorming a whole lot lately, which is awesome, but I’ve also been doing that thing where I realize I have way too much junk and throwing it out. I’m pretty sure my back thinks it’s about thirty years older than it actually is right now, which sucks.
In light of that, enjoy some Of Monsters and Men. I only recently heard them/of them, because I’m often the last person to learn of new things, and I fell absolutely in love with this song. And the video for it’s pretty awesome, even if I don’t entirely know what the hell’s going on. It has a very video game/cinematic quality to it. Pretty sure I’ve listened to it at least twenty times today.
Enjoy, and more writing soon. I promise.
