About Me

SO. I realized the bio had a lot of inaccuracies because it's not up to date. But I'm not good at writing bios. So for right now, I'm just going to say hey. My name is Dan Pechacek. I wrote the songs you hear right now. My friend Ben See added a lot of instruments while recording Honestly and is now both a great friend and a great addition to the live show. So DSF is finally more than a one man thing! Anything else you want to know, just ask.
Trust me. I want to talk to you. :)

HONESTLY

A lot of times, bands will have recording diaries and things like that. This is my own little version of that. It is nothing much for now, and it may never be anything much. I'll upd...

I haven't laughed like that in a long time

I'm listening to Owen.I'm about to pick up Nine Stories, and I have no idea how much of it I'll read... but it's Salinger, so any amount will be good.Before I go to bed, I'll finally listen to the new...

That was the first time singin' the last time...

I hit a chord accidentally.Then I just start playing.And I was playing this same chord with a moving bass line.So I figured I'd start singing over it (this is how it always goes).But when I started si...

Sufjan Live

It's an experience. Disappointing in only its length... shortest one and a half hour show I've ever seen. I don't even know how to describe it. I need to let you know what it was, but with...

If I'm remembering that right. Whatever. It's Circa Survive. If you didn't get it by twilight army, you wouldn't have gotten it with anything afterward... except maybe (probably) "We understand what i...

I told you I'd bring you more blogs

But bulletins like the following always get posted first... Homesick 'cause I no longer know where home is I feel it now, but I don't feel what it's talking about now. You know? It's "Home...

Support Local Artists

I posted a bulletin just now where I started talking about bands from Oklahoma, and I realized I wanted it to be more permanent. So I'm starting this blog with a copy-paste, and I intend to con...

So you, I'm looking for you...

Lots of memories here. I think after this one, I'm going to end the little journey through my music... it's actually starting to get a bit emotional. It crossed over the point of just being a trip dow...

...and that's why I didn't go to Magdalena's.

In sixth grade, my friend Roger randomly asked me what the meaning of life was. I told him "42," the first random thing that came to my head. Later, reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the G...
