god's grace got blood inside the phone

i've been listening to the new porches singles so much, they're so great. normally i get pissed off at artists releasing like 5 singles before the album (i would never do that to you), but he's got some kind of worms in his brain that make the songs so good i don't care. you should listen to joker over and over until it makes sense like i'm doing. i think it's about murdering someone? or petting a dog? maybe i'm not there yet.

in marigold news, we've got two practices in the bag and we're already the best band of all time i fear. we nailed down a practice space thanks to kai slater (<3) and now we're allowed to play so loud our ears ring afterwards. there's a mysterious locked drawer in the corner labeled "forbidden drawer" and i feel like i have a moral duty to find out what's in that thing. i also got briefly sick last night from using a mic i found on the floor but i got better and i forgive the mic. we're kind of in crazy good shape to be recording soon actually which i'm so happy about. it's been way too long for me.

there's a surk show tonight which they're gonna kill obviously. the day lund surk doesn't put on a good show is the day lund surk is erased from the human consciousness by an alien satellite laser beam. i also get to see a friend i haven't seen in a few weeks so i'm really excited. just have to trudge through another 4 hours of school and i'm outta here.

outta here

hi.

i'm sitting in the library right now writing this instead of doing homework. i'm not sure how to start this page exactly, it's kind of like starting a new sketchbook and staring at the blank first page for hours before scrawling a doofy little goblin in the corner. it's also odd to be writing to nobody in particular besides the couple people who know about this page. but i do have half baked news now! and you're reading this right now from the future. so it's worth it.

first practice with desi is tomorrow. time pressure is on and we don't have a defined practice space yet; but i'm hoping the squeeze will make us tighter faster. i also have a lead on hosting shows in the back of a bookstore in bridgeport. i just emailed the owner, trying not to get my hopes too up but i promise it'll be crazy if it works out. what if i bought a projector and made video art to play behind the bands... maybe that can go on the backburner. or maybe it can't, because it's awesome! cut to me with a whole lighting rig in my apartment and no booked shows.

i'll update this page with new marigold stuff as it comes. i hope we can get some music swirling around in the air before the summer splinters at the ends. i've had melrah stuck in my head for 4 days straight. lund surk is the best band in the universe.

see you soon
