About me:

.. .... "I must find active pleasures in this generation where all actions are cerebral, characters premeditated; where nothing is effect from passion! I am seething in my lusts; of all the categorized and evaluated abstract fields. The body; oh my frustrated collaboration of cells seeks such extremes. The intellect; where every thought is either a cloud or a shard. Marked "carnal", the emotions; nearly every contradiction of nervous drives clashing, unlabeled sentiments avoided fearfully from their ambiguity." -Jared

I like silly stupid fun like the rest of you clowns.

Who I'd like to meet:

"I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you."

Hypothetically I'd like to meet "god" or at least have a few questions answered by one of his goons, but I'll settle for simple folk like you and I.

    Man-dingo,

    Sorry I spaced on uploading it. I'm a jerk, but it sounds like yr trip to the record store was fruitful!
  • Feb 5 2009 8:20 PM

    Probably...more P.C. than G.G. Not that hard to do when your act is highlighted by defecating on stage and cutting girls in the front row.
  • Jan 21 2009 2:11 AM

    Yeah dude, I'll upload it when I get the chance! As for CPE, I've just devoted most of my music writing to Tiny Mix Tapes and the Zia blog, and I'm gonna start posting for So Much Silence as well.

    Just a little stretched thin, though I'd love to revive Calling Planet Earth, especially if a few other people would be willing to contribute.

    Hey man-

    The Chandler store is pretty rad. We've got a good crew. I've actually been an assistant since I transferred here.

    I'm reviewing the new MV & EE album, "Drone Trailer" for Tiny Mix Tapes. Constantly listening to it reminds me of when you loaned me "Mother of Thousands" and it blew my mind. Thanks again for that.
