not issac brock

ive just begun and already i digress

here're the dears. theirs is an album that im anticipating as much, maybe moreso, as any that remains to be released this year. a leak today would be so fucking perfect. but with my luck lately we wont behearing this til its actually *GASP* available for purchase.
with my mood any description would fail miserably, so...

Fear Made the World Go Round
it fantastic and is why im so stoked for the album, to be titled Gang of Losers.

what can i say. im distracted
*******************************



this shit is fucking ridiculous. im not sure its possible to be more irresponsible and immature.
of course i was on the fence before it actually involved me. because i am indeed, an asshole.

ive never been as angry with anyone
ever

outside of myself anyway

I neglected to mention a couple things

1. I've got to thank Carter over at ufck for the MMJ Letterman capture.

2. I was informed a few hours after making Wednesday's entry that the actual reason for Jon Brion not making his usual Friday night appearances at Largo is nowhere near as sunny as he being in the studio as i'd assumed. Id made that assumption based on hearing months ago thatd hed be off to Abbey Road to record his next solo album but it seems he has been suffering from some pretty severe tendonitis in his right wrist.

we can only hope he recovers as fully as possible, and soon

according to the myspace page dedicated to tracking his progress, JB is making good use of his time off. As if there was any doubt...

I began uploading the Garza last night but then went back to sleep for a really long time.
anyway

Davíd Garza is one of the most underrated "singer-songwriters" of the last ten or so years. Quotes are neccesary because dude fucking rocks but has a way with words that demands acknowledgment. "rocker-songwriter" maybe? I found him when he had his first major label shot in 1998, releasing This Euphoria on Atlantic and getting just enough MTV2 love to enter the conscience of music lovers but not quite enough to enter their music collections. That album was one of the best of my high school years, no matter how few people have actually ever heard it. He turned things up a notch on the 2001 follow-up Overdub, but still failed to move many units.
So he's back to being ridiculously well-respected by his peers while his talents languish in the discount bin. Fiona Apple has brought him along on her last few tours and someone picked one of his tracks in their top five for Rolling Stone. I forget who and which, i think it was someone from pearl jam and the song foul jasmine .

anyway

Morning Becomes Eclectic 08/19/2001

my chest hurts. all tightened up and shit
i need to get out of here. sooner than later. a year is not soon enough

i think i can finish this one song now. the one i was furthest along with before i kind of put it away when i decided i didnt want to be upset about these things anymore. but fuck that i feel so much more justified in my sentiments after this conversation today. and its coming so much easier (relative to it not coming at all) than when i was questioning whether or not i was right to be so angry

look at that. im even too sensitive to write songs LOLZ!
i care too much. thats what it is.
but fuck that

i cant do this alone
and i definitely am now

Last night the Entourage boys made the late night rounds to promote the new season which starts Sunday. Ari, Drama and Turtle were on Letterman, Conan and Carson respectively. Kevin Dillon was fantastic. The calf fondling would have made my evening if My Morning Jacket's performance with the Boston Pops on Letterman hadnt already done so.
SO even though Id planned on some Dahveeed Garza, hes been bumped by MMJ, much like Piven from Letterman all those years ago, according to that interview. Hopefully he doesnt take it personally and drink too much sake.

I think I've told my MMJ story but im not sure, and again, too lazy to check. They opened for Ben Kweller the three times i saw him in 2002 and were fantastic. The timing was perfect as i was just moving from my "everything but country phase" into my "wow country is actually some of my favorite shit. MUSIC IS AWESOME!" phase, spurred on by my discovery of Ryan Adams et al...
These cats are making much more authentic country music than any of the jackbags you'll see on CMT, though moving nearer just straight rock with each release. Toby Keith aint got shit on Jim James.
It was fantastic to see them in suits and shit looking all polished, well aside from the hair. I remember in '02 James wore the same damn jeans the entire tour. Keepin it real...

I just finished reading Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, finally. Not that it was a long read but that I've intended to read it for ages and only just picked it up last weekend. It was fantastic. Even if you didnt enjoy the movie (which would flabbergast me), I'd reccomend it. I was in tears throughout the last few chapters. I was nearly there anyhow for reasons unrelated but Rob's revelations at the end there killed me. I relate entirely too much.
thats always been my trouble

that and the fact that i never do anything right.

Two situations, mostly incomparable except for the similairty in outcome, that i handled nearly opposite each other, and i got them both wrong anyway. and im not even quite sure the fuck i did wrong this time but it must have been something i guess because my phone never rings anymore.

and there go the waterworks again. i think im going to throw up

i dunno. its hilarious because in less than forty-eight hours i went from talking about how i feel so good now and like i might actually be stable for once to spending an entire day in bed soaking my pillow.
I deal far too often in extremes

kind of like how im trying to evaluate things and all ive come up with are these two lists. one with everything ive done wrong in my entire life and one with everything, no matter how insignificant, ive done right

one of these needs multiple pages
and one of thses lists is empty save for an underlined title


im going back to bed now.
