About Me

(11/1/05) So, i'm going to put stripped down versions of things i record on here as they get written. They're going to be raw, un-finished, acousticy, rough, and for the most part will and should sound nothing like this when they get recorded for reals with my cohorts. And i don't know that anyone does (or should) care to listen to these, but it helps me sleep at night if i live in the delusion that this (slightly ocd) habit of mine gets heard by something other than my head. And what the hell, it's just myspace...
(11/10/05) I got drunk. Then i drank some more. And then i recorded. So if this song called 'is this the place?" sounds like hell and the balance is all screwed up, don't blame me. Blame this stupid bottle of gin.
(12/6/05) Me and kevin had a massive recording session a couple weeks ago and we think it might have just turned out what the kids call 'dope shit'. but as soon as we get it all mixed down with someone who knows what they're doing, we'll post it all up and there will be finished products alive and well in the world.
(12/13/05) New song on here called 'song for them'.
******(4/12/06) After a lot of stalling a little band called "hello evening" is on it's way in myspace form. be on the lookout.********
(5/18/06) I'm lame. I haven't updated any songs or anything in so long. Been busy though, made a music video for hello evening that some of you might have seen, and now me and kevin are working on some movie music for ozzie (which is seriously so much fun). i swear i'm going to record something and put it on here soon though.
(5/30/06) I did it! i did it! i did it! i recorded something and put it up here! and only five months after the last time i did that...
(12/9/2006) so, hello evening is playing on the red carpet at this aly & aj show. yeah, we're surprised too. you should surprise us and show up.
(9/19/07) I like the world more completely on the days that end with yellow.
(10/3/07) But i've loved the world more ideally on the days that end the reeling kinds of pain.
(11/14/07) I'm definitely inclined to believe that i'm not sure which lines are about me and which aren't anymore. I may know less of myself than ever.
(1/18/2007) I hate powerpop. It reeks of a Marshall half stack.

Sounds Like: if al green managed to have a child with cary grant and that child were to be walking in San Francisco and run into some oompa loompa's that had been drinking all day whereupon they decided they decided that they should go listen to some Magnetic Fields records and afterwards smoke some cigarettes, it would sound like those cigarettes.
Record Label: yeah, sure
