gwozdziec: pounding the last nail in
i’ve decided to call the gwozdziec album done. it’s been almost a year since i first started the project, and it hasn’t moved an inch for several months. my goal was to produce 10-12 tracks for the album, but rather than trying to drag out a project i sort of lost interest in, i’m quitting…

RPM 2010
i’ve signed up to do rpm 2010. probably i’m insane with how busy we’ve been lately and i don’t know when i’m going to have free time to crank out some tunes and i never even finished the gwozdziec project i started after rpm last year (although that was more to do with my own…

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax To Tour Together | Billboard.com
Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax To Tour Together | Billboard.com. i have one thing to say about this (besides what i tweeted, which was repeating @mmmaiko‘s comment of um, isn’t this like 20 years late?)

teh TOTALLY 80s s3quence
music was a cornerstone of my childhood. i grew up with mtv and what i consider to be the height of radio — back when dj’s played good music that wasn’t dictated by record labels. some people think that 80s music sounds kitchy, dated, or lo-fi, but i say it’s all of these things that…
