the track is from a super secret collection of sounds that jordan has been recording. i guess this thread just caught onto something long enough for us to trace the source. the image is from a walk that we took in may, this point of rest being on commonwealth ave in downtown boston. View Larger

sickles - the spookfish

dan [the spookfish] has been an incredibly important person in my life, and someone whose presence on this planet that i have the utmost respect for. he’s been a part of both philip seymour hoffman and cuddle formation, as i’ve been a part of the spookfish. whenever he has a new sound to share i get real excited to explore the dimension that he has to offer and learn about these shifting new environments. 420 love songs is a compilation project organized by sam ray, a newer friend, but someone who i love and admire the shit out of. the merging of these two, even on a blogging / sharing level, is something that really tugs at my heartplace and that i’d love to show to anyone who happens to pass by this on their adventures through the internet. much love.

420lovesongs:

song 121 is special cause it’s from one of the coolest long running awesome weird electronic not electronic whatever i dont know what to even call it music projects the spookfish! dan’s stuff inspired me since well before i started putting my music online for real (like 3+ years ago for reference) and it was one of the things me & my now best bud reid bonded over when we met/started talking. in (very) recent times i’ve been talking to dan finally since fmly fest brooklyn is coming up & were both playing it. it’s awesome to finally be in touch with him/hopefully be playing with him soon. i asked if he’d contribute something, and he sent me this song “sickles” which is awesome. he had this to say about it 

I kind of like it because I had stayed up 24 hours, took a final for these classes I am taking, drank a beer with a friend, and then recorded that all day and was pretty lost in it. It is extra weird I think and I didn’t even realize that while I was making it. It was my first time playing drums in years.

“sickles” is this noise band i have with my two friends here. i named it after them because we had a pretty strange weekend together
check it out. it’s really cool & a totally fitting first song in the next big installment of this weird thing.
also check out the awesome new art from ap for these next 40 songs. finally getting out of animal crossing & into the best (well, second maybe third best) game ever, earthbound !!!!

i snapped this photo as i was walking through an outdoor marketplace in haifa, israel a couple of years ago. for a while it was taped to my bathroom mirror, not for any more reason than because it just made me feel good to look at. when i moved from that apartment and lost the photo to the amorphous mass of my belongings it become something that was internalized in my morning routine, bringing with it a stronger meaning than when it was actually physically present in my life. it’s important not to exist as a proxy for the distracting elements in life. culture is a luxury, something that we can share and work from, not the sole interface of consent to which we exist. defining a point of reference is important but maintaining that reference as a rulebook is a weakness. someone recently commented on my music sharing that they were unaware of how i seem to always slip through the cracks. i’ve spent some time thinking about that phrase and why i’ve never shared that perspective, and it’s led me to realize that i’ve never believed in the sidewalk because the world underneath is the nurturing, warm environment that i love. i wish that i could tell this to the people in my life who imitate well known character voices more than they speak for themselves, but they make me laugh so for that my ethics waiver. i wish for myself that i could reflect the virtues of christopher mccandless, jacob holdt, or paul baribeau, but as of 23 i have neither the assertive attitude or confidence in my voice to step into that realm of trying individuality. i know that we’re not even halfway through 2013, but i sincerely hope that by december we each take one radical action to define who we are and why we’re here. if not for anyone else then for ourselves, for our sanity, and to make this crippling western culture something we can be a little more proud of. if you already have then i thank you for making me feel never content.
