let's get this straight

ok, so there was some confusion a while back between certain people and myself about andrew wk and his history with wolf eyes. i think this excerpt of an interview with wolf eyes should clear things up:

----
SF: What did Andrew WK do when he played with you guys? I’ve heard various things, that he used to be in Wolf Eyes.

AD: He never really played with us. When Nate and I first started playing together—Nate did Wolf Eyes for a little while by himself, and then when I started playing with him is when Andrew moved here [to New York], and we talked on the phone a lot and bounced ideas off each others’ heads. He would record a bunch of stuff called Wolf Eyes and send it to us, so we have all these tapes that say “Wolf Eyes” and have all these song titles, but it’s all Andrew.

NY: He had another branch of Wolf Eyes going. He considered it a theory.

BT: As articulated in [Andrew’s zine] Wolf Slicer.

AD: Yeah, yeah. Then we moved out to play with him, be his backup band, when he first started writing all the songs that ended up on his first record. But he was way more just going for his own thing, and we were doing our own thing, and it didn’t quite…

NY: I learned to play “Party Till You Puke” on bass. He was like, “That’s good, man. This is going to work out.”

well, i'm playing on monday at WEPC and opening for a bunch of other bands so you should come. seriously, it'll be a good time.

see you soon i hope.



ps i mean, i kinda like wolf eyes now and then, but if you wonder why the hell people think this is amazing music, it's ok, you're probably normal.

i wish i was big and strong like a tree...

i'm sick... gross. called in sick on my first day of my new temp job.

recently, i wrote a song. it is a nice song. sounds happy, kind of like the 80's. the first line is "wax nostalgic until the moon is tired of your photographs." i usually try not to sound so sentimental, but i really like that line. the rest of the lyrics are ok, but they are all basically just trying to be as good as that one line. i try to comfort the other lines of the song by saying "hey, you're all good on your own merit too!" but they're all still very jealous of the opening phrase. and it's mostly true that they aren't as good, but since the melody remains the same (as good pop melodies do), they can at least feel connected to that first line musically. strangely, i think the song almost sounds like that poppy anberlin song, you know, "boys speak in rhythm..." i don't listen to much anberlin these days, despite their new album, but one time jean and jameson and nick and daniel and i slept at the lead singer's house in Florida. he has a super nice family, a great house, and his sister looks alot like him--it's uncanny. also, they made us breakfast!

well, until i get better and record some more music, you can A. check out my myspace account, and B. check out the new single from the White Stripes.



ps speaking of jean, if anyone sees her tell her i'm sorry that she came to see me in the burg after i left. she texted me saying she wasn't coming, and then i left and my phone ran out of batteries on the way home and when i got home i just went to bed... so, i never got that message 2 hours later that she was on her way and needed to know where i was. alas! i hope she is doing well now that she's back in florida... i should probably call her...
