5:19 am - Hmmm
|
It's been a while.
Sometimes I wonder what kind of creepy stalker-ish types go about reading my journal. I also wonder how many of them go back and read all the entries from long ago that are reallllllly embarrassing.
Hi!

Have you ever looked back on old entries and noticed at how silly some are? By Jove how I have changed since I was 16!

5:55 am - Can't sleep...
|
I wish I could sleep a bit more. I have to leave in a couple hours, but that could be a couple more hours of me sleeping.
Atleast today is the last day of the semester.
I hope Urlacher reminds Vick he should have stayed out of the game. Getting hit in 20 degree weather will be a lot different on poor Vick's sore ribs, than whilst in a dome.
current mood:  awake

8:49 pm - Fright Fest...
|
So I'm trying to put together a group outing to FF for this up coming Sunday. I think it's the 16th but I could be wrong.
Anyway Taco Bell has BUY ONE GET ONE FREE coupons available. So I figured we'd take advantage of that.
Anyone up for it?
I've got a few people that want to go. We'll figure out more details later as well.

I need some help...
Have you guys ever heard of Kayo Dot? They're ex members of the band Maudlin of the Well. They're currently doing a tour of the U.S. through October and November, coming out of Massachusetts.
Anyway, they were supposed to play here on October 10th, with my band and Unfortunaut. The venue we were playing, Hang Outs, for some reason decided to cancel the show for reasons that are unknown to me.
If you know of a place that might book us, last minute, or could help with that it would be appreciated.
You can check out Kayo Dot at www.kayodot.net or www.myspace.com/kayodot
Thanks!
ALSO HOUSE SHOWS ARE WELCOME TOO!!!!!!!

10:19 am - I need help thinking of a title
|
Two, softly spoken words
Whence uttered, undettered
Quells my rueful despair
"Good-bye"
Think I'd forgotten you...
Here under these spruces
I came to introduce
The thought in my mind
To linger here entwined
Forever
We'll never let you go...
Moribund musings
Bright, brilliant bindings
My blithe
Stark, sulking concavities
My blight
Someday you'll lie there besides me...
Someday you'll lie there besides me...
Someday you'll lie there besides me...
Someday you'll lie there besides me...
Lyrics for the third song of the concept album, based on Ethan Frome.
current mood:  tired
current music: I.C.E - Convulsing Frigid Death

7:02 pm - Most recent Purchases
|
I went down to Metal Haven with Peter tonight and picked up three CDs. One on recommendation from Peter, as I never know what the fuck I want to get as soon as I get in there.
I got:
Swallow the Sun - The Morning Never came.
Now I had their demo, and I thought it wasn't too bad, but I was a bit disappointed by this release. If you don't know what style they play, they market it towards fans of Opeth, My Dying Bride, and Katatonia. There were only a couple of tracks that stood out. Through her Silver Body and Hold this Woe. Other than that the tracks just seemed to continue where the last left off. Most of the tracks sounded the same. Now, I might grow to like this album, but at the moment, it seems to me as if the songs all the sound the same.
Theudho - Treachery - I haven't given this one a good listen yet. Only listened to the first two songs. On the cover Mark wrote "Epic Pagan black metal" From what I heard, it's not too bad.
Last but definitely not least
BETHLEHEM!!! \m/(><)\m/ Dictius Te Necare.
2 disc special, with videos. Pretty cool.
current mood:  hungry
current music: Bethlehem - Suicide Radio video

2:25 am - Earl Grey...

I'm on my third cup now. Man did I have some fucking kick ass tea before practice tonight. And what a smell! mmmMmmMmm Blueberry...
I completed the lyrics for the newest CID song they go like this...
Revelries and Silence
Your eyes, heavy, rapt-like, for another
And I had waited just outside for you
To take you in my arms, home, together
Unaware that your look would make me brood
I must have been a fool to have believed
That you had kept only those looks for me
And now the landscape of our future
Begins to look ever more bleaker
I was going to write more, but Casey says the lyrics as is fit the song perfectly well. You'd think that an elven and a half minute long song would need a bit more lyrics, but this song we space out a lot, and it just gets mellow and just goes on.
Anyways I chose a particular scene in chapter one of Ethan Frome to compliment the lyrics. The beginning of the chapter you find a meek Ethan a bit apprehensive to approach the church where the dance is being held and Mattie is dancing. He avoids being seen and peers in through the window as a voyuer and watches the dance. Now here is what I picked. Mattie dances with Dennis Eady, and the jealousy in Ethan gets the best of him. He sees Mattie looking at Dennis, and feels stupid, and angered. He sees Mattie engrossed in Dennis and I thought it was a great scene to be used. I wanted to get more in, about Zeena, but decided against it after Casey said the lyrics were good where they are. I chose Revelries and Silence to compliment Mattie and Zeena.
We started to write a new song, and it is black metal as fuck. So far atleast. I'm hoping that will change and we'll mix it up a bit. Now to get started with the lyrics with that.
current mood:  jubilant
current music: Animals - House of the Rising Sun

3:29 am - I can't sleep...
|
And it sucks. It's 3:30 in the morning too. I mean at about 10:30 I was ready to fall asleep at Jackie's, but now I don't feel a thing. It's so easy to fall asleep at her house.
Anyway whilst laying in bed I tried to work on something for lyrics for the new song. So far here's what I have...
Your eyes, heavy, rapt-like, for another
And I had waited just outside for you
To take you in my arms, home, together
Unaware that your look would make me brood
I shall work on it some more.
current mood: awake
current music: Godspeed You Black Emperor - Sleep...I wish!!!

Sounds like it could be interesting!
do this
if you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal. See what people remember about you....

7:22 am - I actually feel like writing in this thing.
|
Oddly enough I do. I think it just has to do with the weather, seriously, but I'll get to that in a moment.
Brian would be happy, because My Arms your Hearse has taken on new meanings for me, and seems to now be associated with other feelings than the ones I had for it before. It's probably because I lost the album, and only got to listen to it from other people here and there through out the 2 year long course of its missing. Maybe three or four times since. Though, I have recently purchased a new copy thanks to Jackie getting me a gift certificate to Metal Haven for my birthday.
I think it definitely is that lapse of not being able to listen to it. Because now this album takes on more nostalgic feelings. Now as some of you are aware of, it's different than the whole "Ecto-cooler was so cool.", or "I really have the feeling to watch Gremlins again." Though, those two thoughts do in fact carry many other memories with them, it seems this album carries much more, and a much broader spectrum. I want to be 16 again for a while. I don't want to worry about having to pay college tuition, or meander through everything, because nothing has its flare anymore. I guess the latter is my own fault. Maybe it's just music that seems so dull at the moment, because I have other things to be excited about. C.I.D. seems to be doing better. Brian is now the full time drummer, our music has become much stronger, we're the featured artist over at www.metalworksradio.com , more people are noticing us, we're getting more contacts, etc. Though to some extent I have felt that my own writing for C.I.D. has been completely uninspired, but that's just because I've been so myself for a long while.
I guess not hearing this album for a good two years, perhaps more, and hearing it now, just reminds me of when I was really excited about music. It was never my favorite, so I never listened to it much, except when I first got it. So, I was probably about 16 at the time, and definitely much more excited about music. I used to listen to music probably anywhere between 4-8 hours a day, during the summer probably longer. It was probably on just about every minute I was awake. I downloaded countless albums, and just listened. I've probably only downloaded 15 albums in the last two years. Pathetic. None of it has been interesting to me either.
Besides just reminding me of when there was more of a passion for music, it reminds me of just certain events that happened then. Some good, some bad, but what I really remember is whether those moments were good or bad, this album enhanced and related to whatever it was at the moment, or really just made it more memorable. For example, it being about midnight or so during a nice summer night, and I'm out walking listening to Credence on my walkman. It's one of those summer nights that's not quite hot and humid, and you can feel the water in the air. It's warm, but mildly hot. The air isn't thick, so you have this sensation of being clear minded, like the haze of the humidity isn't there, and you're able to raise your head up and almost drink the air. The music strengthens and intensifies my surroundings.
It felt good to lay in bed this morning and listen to My Arms Your Hearse. I was comfortable, and able to soak up my sleep beforehand. So, when I awoke I felt content, not groggy, or wanting more sleep. I wasn't too hot or too cold. Everything was nice. My Arms Your Hearse just made it better, like all those other times.
current mood:  content
current music: Opeth - When

6:52 am - Baaaaaaah says Frank
|
and so do I...
Well it's been an awfully long time since I have bothered to update this thing.
Clad in Darkness won't be having any new shows for a while, because our drummer Andrew is off to law school at SIU. Though, at the moment we are practicing with a temp. He's pretty good. Hopefully we can get this together and start playing shows soon.
Our new material is easily our best. Much more emotional. I'm quite enjoying it for the most part. We need to get more of it written and more of it recorded. I say it is our best because sometimes I absolutely hate our older material.
With the snow silence fell
I could see my companion
One with the dreary landscape
The stark still spruce
Brooding over the horizon
Their dark boughs
Twisting to form
His unapproachable expression
Was it more then just
The accumulation of many
Cold Starkfield winters
Or was it an idle hand
Unable to deter the pain
As they peered through the window
Looking down towards Corbury road
And for all of that
Waiting for one who would never come
Perhaps it was the loneliness
Though never alone
Cold and devoid of emotion
Her obstinate silence
Subduing him into
His own solitary realm
Try and fetch that old elm…
You’ll walk together again
Those are the lyrics to our current song we are writing. Any guesses on what book it's based off of?
current mood: sleepy
current music: Rapture - Someone I don't know
