whitechrizzzmas

i was hanging out with my friend Zak Austin the other day.

He has a cool synth and some editing programs that i myself do not have nor do i have the discipline to master said programs.

the plan was to jam and see what happens, but there is plenty of gear to record if we play something the sound of something we hear.

i made a drony synth line or two. 

i listened to the said riff. wrote down some rambles. wandered in and out of the house.

it's hard to sit still.

recorded a few scratch tracks of this and that.

all the cold rain outside prompted me to write down,

"i'm dreaming of a white christmas"

the rest fell together quite effortlessly.

i've wanted to make my own version of "white christmas" for a long time.

tis the season. happy christmas fellow earthlings.

Thank You

Before I get distracted many a more times as I tend to do.

Thank you to everyone who came by our art show on Halloween.

I met a lot of cool people. I wish I had met more of you but my attention span... Well it's short.

also lots of great tunes and cool costumes.  

anyway.. Thank you to everyone who made my Halloween awesome.

October 21

October and her fall leaves. October and her follies. 

Down By The River

I went for a walk to get out of my head.

I found a bunch of condos that have been built by the waterfront.  

i use to (September was one year ago) walk down that way to get to work and it was no man land.  just a bunch of abandoned industrial buildings.

Anyway... There's some really cool parts by the water if you jump the little fence and walk down the little path. 

A lot of old trash and unstable rubble but cool nonetheless.

All that to say I took some fun selfies of myself.

mud

i went and saw Kurt Vile play at the Crystal Ballroom last night. thank you sarah!

the ground is moist at the moment. the skies are grey.

the leaves are falling exponentially.

a lot of browns.

i focus my eyes on the yellow but the red is intense on the imagination, as well.

the mud slides in California are no joke. keep those folks in your thoughts. it's only October.

what's more strange to me is a lot of people haven't heard about the mud slides that happened there. 

5 feet of mud on that highway. ping pong-golf size hail.

why is that not news? who picks the news?

i met some friends that work for a local news channel. 

they said they get there news from cnn and ap news.

when they report the news they say "experts say" the poll numbers say _______. 

so my question is who do you get your news from? 

does it trace back to one of those companies?

just curious...
