Final post of 2011 - Time for some resolutions?

Ah yes, the year that we shall all die! Yay. Bring it on. Nuclear war? Blipping out of existence? Reversion to an early hominid form because we no longer have a calendar to read? We shall just have to wait and see.

This is going to be a few days that will kick me right in the mazard. I need to get my shit together!

I am adding all of our old things to websites for At Every Step, cleaning out my computer, getting shit done yo. Heheh. :D

A Very Bergman New Year

"Conditioned inside and out to the point of no return
to what we may have been without all this shit we were born into:"

Tragedy/Wolves in the Throne Room later this month! Holy crap yes!
I may take the train up to do it. :)

Bringing a couple Bergman movies up to Washington with me :D
Looking forward to seeing mom and dad and spending time with the fam. Trey has a gig New Year's eve and will be checking that out.

Nearly the End (of the year)!!

Well I'm somewhat into lists lately, as those with any 'cultural inclination' are (?); Loved Pitchfork's lists, but getting into some of Stereogum's and Paste's as well. I am incredibly thankful as well that I live in a time where I can spend my morning bathing in said lists instead of having to search for food and potable water. Ha ha ha! Yay for civilization.

I was sick for Christmas but I woke up today feeling rather splendid. Going up to Washington to see mom, dad, and bro tomorrow morn. Gonna try to catch some of a movie now.

Interesting week so far. Kim Jong-Il has died.

Huge fan of Misery Index. Majorly political band with some serious talent that plays uncompromising, bone-crushing speed/death/thrash/grind metal. On a related note, I have been listening to Volumes (their album "Via" rated #1 fan-voted album of 2011 on lambgoat.com) and Vildhjarta's Måsstaden. I'm strongly dislike the djent guitar tone on these albums, the compression just drives me crazy. When I listen to a band like Tombs or Blut Aus Nord, I simply FEEL a lot more. Much wider palette. Something tells me that this detached, unitive "djent" tone is part of the genre, to make us feel alone, sparse, etc, but I don't like it.

"Caves of raw steel, the modern graveyard.
What human failures promise for us.
Day turns into night."

Strapped/Hopeful

Tuesday morning. Late on a couple of bills, which really sucks, but I am poor!
Need to do my best to get caught up.

What's up with Syria? And we think OWS was bad.. crazy! Oakland doesn't even hold a candle to this crazy shit.

Listening to all kinds of music. It's time to get my day started!
