Walden

I've been reading Henry Thoreau's book "Walden."
It's a very interesting book with a LOT of points and issues that can be used for modern day, not just the mid 1800's.
I've been thinking a lot about it during my time reading the book and I may do something similar, not for as long, and to such a degree as Thoreau, but it would be an incredible experience.

It's been a while...

I've not really wrote anything on here for a while, mainly because I've been busy.
Lot's of interviews and gigs recently, I'll give an overall thing about them instead of one by ones.
The following bands and interviews were fucking awesome:
A Wilhelm Scream,
Rx Bandits,
Against Me!
El Morgan which also featured bands like Above Them and Chillerton, whose final show it was, all great bands.
Jonah Matranga,
Hot Water Music.

I also saw the Gaslight Anthem who I'm not massively into and after speaking to the lead singer, doubt I ever will be. I guess as soon as your known by Bruce Springsteen you automatically become a cunt.

Half Nelson

I watched the film Half Nelson again today.

It's about a crack addicted school teacher in an American ghetto.

It's a really good film and the first time I watched it I wrote some lyrics for the band I was in at the time, just thought I'd put them up here.

"What is this machine?

It's bringing us down, but hell,

We're all very much a part of it."

A belt around his chest,

Or so I imagine, the feel after each time he ingests,

Inhale. Exhale. Forget.

Inhale. Exhale. Regret.

"Change moves in spirals,

Not circles,"

When the mirror asks, "Can you live this lie?"

Until you're just ashes in the sky,

"There are no weapons,

There's nothing,"

So relieve by all means,

Just keep your hands waist-side.

"These are changes,

We can't control,"

Though there's others that we can,

Can you comprehend tunnel vision,

When you're a tunnel with no light at the end?

It's a cure for the itch,

An itch that started all of this,

Teach me, so I can teach you,

A mile-stone just to avoid just to avoid one more hit.

I'll probably edit this one day, I'm not really happy with all of it.

Headlines.

I think it was the SUN a couple of days ago.

What a shit paper right?

But every now and again you get some awesome headlines like "Model eaten by curry."

But this one was, "I saw Harpoon killer eat a dead rat."

What the fuck was this guy doing watching that?

Who needs to re-evaluate their lives in that situation, really?

Well, both really, but fuck it.
