There actually WAS a moment when I first realized I wanted to be in a band.
Though I don’t want to share the exact moment, I will share that all the events that have happened since that moment have affected me deeply. There were years sleeping on a floor, surrounded by the devices that would let me release the pent up notes and words. There has been hours sitting in front of a computer… listening to the same song over and over trying to improve it… to find the right tone, or sound, or effect.
Much has been learned.
The most important lesson of all, is that I find so much joy in music. It’s something that will always make me happy. It’s something that will always be there for me, no matter what happens to me or anyone around me. It’s an amazingly bright, ever morphing reason to be alive. One of the many.

This is a reblog from my friend Caitlin Schappert. She moved to London to pursue her dream of “immersing her soul in love” (little poetic thievery from radiohead). That means she’s gonna go work in the music biz. That’s pretty much all i know about her…. but she has great taste in music.

She has a blog. http://www.lottiefrancis.blogspot.com Read it.

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get, but if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. I’m telling you, amazing things will happen

IPad might be the future, but without Flash, it could be alienating the present
Exactly why this device was mis-named. It should have been called, iBook or iZine. Imagine if this were any other company rolling out a device that restricts you not only from using sites that feature Flash but also from multi-tasking. Plus you’re charged a $600+ price tag. Is that really how much you want to pay for an iTunes player with a(limited) web browser?

1. Radiohead - Kid A
This record not only completely changed the sound of the greatest band in the world, but in my opinion, really paved the way for electronic sound to be combined with popular music.
2. Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
This is a sentimental favorite for me. Not only did this record solidify Coldplay to be one of the biggest bands in the world (for my lifetime), but it showed some incredible songwriting and smacked the sophmore slump ball out of the park.
3. Eminem - The Marshal Mathers EP
This record changed hip hop. Period.
4. White Stripes - Elephant
Yah, you know all that cool indie throwback classic whateverthe fuck rock that’s all over the place these days? Thank jack. He made it cool again. Oh yeah, there’s also that little tune “Seven Nation Army.” Nicely Done.
5. Radiohead - In Rainbows
From the very start of this record, the first crunchy beat, you know you’re in for a sick ride. I think this record will slowly, over the years, creep up farther on peoples lists for some of the greatest modern music of all time. Weird Fishes, also, is probably one of the top 50 songs ever written. Thanks Jonny Greenwood.

Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
