Fuck the NW Fest

friday is finally here! the new mexican revolution is gonna rock tonight, i can feel it.. and there's gonna be some crazy clowns, and the march fourth marching band.. wow. it should be a spectacle. the mercury wrote it up, the willamette mentioned, it should be a big night.. probably the single biggest night in the entire month of january, in portland. probably.

anyhow.. yesterday i went out and saw king kong, which i had wanted to see for awhile now. i like big movies on big screens, i like the loud sounds and overwhelming visuals, and popcorn. it was cool.

then i came home, and had really no time to do anything, so i wrote this rap song! ha!

it's funny, and doesn't have any noise rock guitar solos anywhere.. it was actually a loop experiment to begin with, lifting a little bit of emily playing the piano and making it fit into this midi grids and such.. i think it worked, for what it was.. and the bass started out live, and i looped it. i'm getting better at this stuff.. i don't have a sampler or anything, so i'm moving blocks of digital audio around to create it..

and then i rapped. emily heard it and called me a dork.

Fuck the NW Fest - i really did play one time, years ago with the Volumes.. but i've been turned down every year since, in two different bands that were both good. hmph. but i don't have any actually bad feelings about it.. portland is chock full of great stuff, and i'm sure nobody even knows who i am, let alone has anything against me. hmph.
