Tim Blood Stuff

Here's the final Tim Blood recording. Although I think I said that about the b-sides thing, this feels more final now that none of us are gonna be in Moscow. We gave away 27 burned cds with origami sleeves at the final show at Mikey's the other day. It was fun seeing everyone again, especially Kentaro who I hadn't seen in two years, and the show went better than I think any of us expected. It was cool playing with Nailbastard cause Ryan and I had been in every band together from 18 to 25, so it's cool seeing how he sounds with other people. I'm too sentimental.

We recorded it last week. I think it came out sounding really good. I feel more satisfied with it than any other release besides the "Summer of Our Discontent" album. Because we had to do it long distance we recorded to a metronome, which was strange. So I did the guitar on my practice amp in my room. Also, it was just Tim B., Ryan, and I, because of time constraints. But hardly any Tim Blood show or recording after the "Summer" album had the "original" lineup. I think I may be so satisfied with the recording because I didn't have to do anything except record the guitar. I think Tim's vocals sound better than any other recording except, again, maybe the "Summer" album.

Now I wanna start another "pop" band.

Depression

In a desperate attempt to attract traffic to the blog, I have created a post about depression. Depression is a side effect of being conscious. People get depressed because they expect something positive, interesting, fulfilling, concrete, absolute, or reasonable from existing. That or they have a chemical imbalance in their brain. Depression isn't that funny, but the American Institute of Mental Health says that 85% stand up comedians surveyed believe is essential to comedy.

They've only been able to prove this fact though through written surveys, because if one asked a stand up comedian in a social setting they wouldn't tell you the truth because they're too depressed. Musicians seem to like it a lot. Depression affects 19 million Americans, 10-25% of the american female population is depressed, 5-10 % of the american male population is depressed. This infers that women are greedy about depression and want it all for themselves.

Generally every other movie you'll see about Ireland is about a lot of people who are depressed. Usually every other book you'll read is about someone who is depressed. If you're talking to someone about something and they're not taking you seriously, it is acceptable to state that you're depressed to get through to them.

Thankyou.
