A Happy Gatsby

About Me

We're the characters East and West Egg would love to both remember and forget.
Inspect the Dewey Decimal system in your mind.
As you ruffle through the cards remember your first.
The struggle towards the acquisition of feelings never felt.
A blind faith, which was only to be shaken by youthful curiosity.
A foundation crumbles.
We consistently try to construct upon a land that cannot support.
Destined only to see our hopes filtered again.
What curiosities could we still possibly harbor, when feelings are strongest accompanied by the purity of innocence?
It’s always drizzling here.
Soaking the catalog cards, whose ink now bleeds illegible, inadvertently each document not differing much from the previous.
Laid here are the cards that still can be read.
The very same that are relentlessly threatened by the mist of the future. - Corey Gatsby

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/12/2006
Band Members: Full Time Party Hosts.
Corey Gatsby - Manipulates the guitar, piano, synthesizer, out of tune vocals, and any other instrument I decide to pick up and play poorly.
Nicholas Leners - Thud Staff.
Part Time Guests.
Travis Franklin - Various percussive styling.

Influences: The Smiths, Scott Walker, Phil Elverum, Mount Eerie, The Microphones, Low, Sigur Ros, Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters, Mike Patton, Otis Redding, but mainly the process of forgetting who you are.
Sounds Like: First things first, I am really only interested in beauty. I always saw it as simplistic, the smaller things, the boring things. Most of what will appear here will in fact be dull. Hopefully to myself and some others it will capture a glimpse of the dull, simplistic, small, and beautiful. Even if just for a moment.
Type of Label: Major
