As Plankton says, we're all just names on a screen but I hope you know you can count on us all for support in this awful time. I can't even begin to contemplate the feelings going through you right now. I hope you can find the strength to get through this and obviously anything I or any of us can do for you, you only need to ask.

I hope you reported him? I know all your girlfriends here will rally around you, and they're the ones you really probably need right now, but us guys are thinking of you too, and we're here if you need us, okay?

I hope you have someone there to talk to, to help you through, and I hope this rapist gets what's coming to him. There's never any excuse for rape, not in a single instance. At times like this it makes me ashamed to be a man.

Take care of yourself, Steph, and let us know if there's anything at all we can do.

Unhappy

That's fucked man, beyond that even. It's always terrible, there's no question, but to think a loved one could be so cruel is just nightmarish. I'm sorry for all the grief you'll suffer for how god damned monstrous someone chose to act on you. I'm sure you know there's no justification in the world for this. I hope things get as normal as possible for you as soon as possible.

Also, I know it's a little irrelevant, but i just put a segment of "Perfect Day" i found from my girlfriend's stuff on a new mixtape, based around joy, so I'm gonna try and send you those good vibes.

I hope nothing I said offends you, it's all sincere but maybe unintentionally insensitive. Sorry again, much love.

I...I'm at a total loss. I barely knew you but I feel incredibly sorry if this sort of thing happens to anyone. I don't know the circumstances, but as TH said, I think you should do something about him. The guy deserves it if he did that to someone. Best wishes, good luck, keep working through this! Apologies if I said something stupid or jerkish, I'm not the best with words...

Johnny.

Albums Spotify Recommended To Me Recently That I'm Digging The Shit Out Of - Part One



I've been drinking. In regards to the profanity, sorry, I'm not sorry.


Javelin - Canyon Candy





What a hipster as fuck album. These cousins live in fucking Brooklyn and shoot short films with their hipster as fuck girlfriends. I can't decide if I hate them because they're living the life I want to be living or because, well, no. Actually that's it. Fuck these guys doing the things I want to be doing. And fuck this album, it's so fucking catchy. It's just so fucking fun to listen to - by no means a groundbreaker but you can just feel in each track how much these two douchebags fucking LOVED recording it. And I fucking LOVE listening to it. The cowgirl in me (yes, I have Wyoming roots, fuck you) wants to criticize these hipster fucks for not knowing about REAL country but fuck it. They kind of nailed it, in an indie-electronica country album kind of way.

Listen to this fucking song and tell me you don't want to hear more of the album.




God damnit this just makes me so happy to listen to. It's like The Avalanches meets The Go! Team. I want to be jumping rope or playing hopscotch or some shit and then eat a fucking popsicle.

And while you're drunk may I just wish you a Happy New Year, and hope 2014 is much better for you, as you certainly deserve it.

Danger, Danger! Shameless Self Promotion!



My band has officially released our first single. It's available for purchase or free download on bandcamp, for streaming on soundcloud and also right here:


I'd love to hear any feedback. We're currently recording our first full-length album and will be releasing single tracks on a monthly basis. Any donations made will go toward funding that project, but more importantly we just want to be heard!

Additionally, on our facebook page we advertised that we will make use of any artwork submitted to us by local (or independent) artists, so if any of you have a piece you'd like to PM me or send to snakewalkmusic@gmail.com that would be rad. We'll mostly be pairing the artwork with the singles we release, but if there's something we really enjoy we'll ask for permission to ultimately use it as our album cover (all due credit given). Thanks MB !

The vocals remind me of Cake. I'd compare the accompaniment to a Peter Gabriel arrangement. Good luck with your music certainly.

Ha, that's the second Cake comparison I've heard! I'll take it. Thanks for the encouragement, I'm really excited to share what we've been working on. The releasing-an-album-track-by-track angle we're taking is really fun. The next song we're putting out sounds nothing like this. VERSATILITY!

Well I'd hoped to be able to say I liked it Steph but sorry I just hated it. Not for me. Impressions would be a cross between Waits and Kraftwerk with some Gregorian style gongs or something thrown in? I realise your singer is singing that way deliberately but to me he's just talking, maybe rapping? Doesn't do anything for me. Very minimalistic, which is I guess how it's meant to be?

Wish you all the luck in the world though. Good to see you're following your dreams. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong and this will be really popular. You certainly deserve the notice and, more importantly, the money!

Tom Waits and Kraftwerk?! That gets a lolwutThe clear reference is WHY? and the guy sounds a little bit like Cake I guess. I totally forgot that I was going to submit a drawing for this (indeed promised to). Oops
