career - all smiles ep

it never stops 'round rhythm nation. the 'all smiles' ep comes from the same session as 'ring the alarm', but is way different. think james brown meets albert einstein, on acid. three tracks with beautifully orchestrated intros & outros.

Joel at an ungodly hour working on an essay

I think this captures the feeling of late night madness that arises when we stay up late to do school work (the song just appeared on the radio when I turned it on and was so appropriate).

record store day? who are we appealing to here? people who don't get it already are supposed to start respecting record stores again 'cause of some promotional day? man, how embarrassing. though, any celebratory day is sort of hackneyed. we did not have any kinda promotion or anything at SB, but still managed to profit our 3rd highest since opening 7 years ago. i guess, one could hold 'record store day' accountable, or the first really nice saturday of the year, i dunno. though, it's as if folks went out and bought music as a novelty, you know, celebrating record store day... i'd like to think it was the weather and genuine interest in gettin some new music. but what the fuck, it was a great scam! people love shit like that, right?

hey, anybody feel like making some records?
today 'trans-elders' (for now) are working on some 'unplugged' renditions of songs for future outdoors show, we'll be on Rob's balcony if interested, after 6:30. Alex, outdoors music, soon?

I like this Rembrandt Self Portrait

Why do people in the Unites States of America apparently need a president that's a fucking idiot? I just heard the news say that, though he's a Harvard lawyer, Obama has to prove to voters that he's just a regular guy. Is this a joke? The leader of a country shouldn't be 'regular,' she/he should be way "better" than everyone else so that they can deal with shit and perform better than anyone, not a "regular guy" whose lack of education/whatever insecure rural types can feel comforted by.

Man Day

When is Career going legit-like with the music and such? By that I speak of the composing and opposing the nonsense and what-like. I think it was a good idea, maybe we could do one album like that, and then go back to the good stuff, or something.

Also, music at my house (or the house that Linton used to live in) on Saturday April 26th (also happens to be my birthday). If you want to play, COME. If you want to play something besides CAREER, email me, or reply, or just come with what you need. There might be free food. Oh, and everybody has to learn happy birthday on something (preferably the spoons, not that I'm nit-picking). BOLD TEXT.

Retro Jubal Brown

Tristan Murphy is dead

"After all, the essential difference between cities and suburbs lies in the diversity and density of the former, the lack thereof in the latter. Since most growth occurs in the suburbs, perhaps it's not surprising that corporate thinking has become lazy and one-dimensional. Clearly, operating in the city requires they learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. In a city, they can't just throw up boxes that sit dumbly in the middle of a parking lot. [...] To build downtown is to build within a context. It requires intelligence, creativity and a little sophistication. That may be asking a lot of these corporations, but then, they take a lot from Toronto. That's why they want to be here."
