what a bust

my laptop died on me :(

i have the worst luck with all electronics or anything expensive

r.i.p.

after much speculation between the bf and i, we finally got the confirmation that the blood brothers split via their myspace blog. twas a sad sad day for many :(

[their last cd cover, young machetes. thinking about getting this crazy bitch as my next tattoo.]

the seattle based band ended their ten year romp over who knows why, except because "[their] time together has come to an end." their sound embodied genres from post-hardcore, experimental, punk, art punk, and, to my ears, even a little bit of hip hop. they rest on 5 cd's, a couple eps, and a massive, loyal fan base that will miss their music dearly.

i feel fortunate that i was able to open my ears to them. they performed at coachella 2005 and me and the bf happened to be resting in their tent. when they started playing we were like wtf is this shit?! and ran out. a year later we rediscovered their music, i forget why, but thank God we did. their intense screaming and chaotic sound can turn one off at first, but once you get past the judgments and really listen.. damn. they're dope. through them i harbored a new found respect, love, and craving for the genre, for good quality screaming and genius-made music. their sound is hardly comparable, if at all.. and dont even get me started on their performances! their vibe was so fucking fierce, again, incomparable to many bands i've heard/seen.

[blurry pictures]

all in all, the blood brothers was one of the greatest bands that have come across my plate. the unrivaled voice of johnny whitney will live on through his side project jaguar love, a generic version of the phenoms.

r.i.p. blood brothers

who's next?

luca

"REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER"


anyway, before he gets any bigger, i wanted to share pics of my new pup.
and by the looks of it, he'll be full grown come tomorrow morning.

a new teammate of mine brought one of the pups around and said his friend was giving them away. so i actually got the number for my bf. after the whole bruno situation he'd been wanting another doggie, but it somehow ended up becoming ours.

so without further adieu, id like to introduce luca!
the name's derived from one of our favorites songs on brand news newest album the devil and god are raging inside me AND just so happens to be a character on the Godfathah series.. which I LOVE. too bad luca brasi's the dumb one in the film. dumb but ever so sweet.

as of 10.30.07

i am an official GUERILLA UNION intern :)

[click]

FINALLY! i get a damn break!

GU is the live events company that has brought to you concerts such as rock the bells, paid dues, and smokeout. google them. go to them.

after numerous emails, phone calls, and months gone by, i finally got the reply asking for my help with this project. and eventually, i got offered the internship. theres a lot more shit that went down between each point, but i'll spare you the overwhelming details which i tend to do when storytelling.

for what has seemed like forever, ive been trying to land this kind of position so its pretty fucking exciting :)

wish me luck!
