If I could settle down, then I would settle down.

Alright, I found a box for the BX10. And now I'm writing a second blog entry today and I don't feel lame because it's my first day.

I realized I didn't really explain why the name of this blog is The Homesick Collective. Well, it's a cool name and was originally going to be used for a small label I was starting up with a friend but that kinda didn't work out for the time being. For now it's just a name I'm using for this blog and for the different music projects I'm involved in.

So, in other Homesick Collective news:
I will be putting my (Arthur Advocate) EP "Allie, Don't Let Me Disappear" out for free the same way I did the first one (same site and everything... http://foundation.feelgoodlost.net (big up to Dhruv for making the site).) It's kinda crazy... I don't know if I really like it all that much, but it's interesting at the very least. I went a little overboard with the 80's synth sounds, and the weird vocal effects, and the random sound effects, and the drone-y intros. Basically, I went completely overboard with the whole project. Most likely the result of getting into pschyedelics for the first time. I am excited to show other people it, because I've completely exhausted myself of the songs and can't even tell if it's somewhat good anymore. I guess that will be up to you to decide. It has 4 songs and 1 little interlude thingy. I'm sure I'll have a press-kit esque blog when the site gets up.

In other complete bullshit news:
I read an interview with Steve Malkmus from Pavement on my train ride back home to New Jersey which prompted me to buy a super deluxe version of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Being unfamiliar with Pavement, but having a basic idea of what I was going into I was pleasently suprised. Me and Tim were driving over to Andrews place listening to the CD and for the first few songs we were catching each other up on our various failures and successes and only half paying attention to the CD, and then "Range Life" came on. As soon as the chorus hit ("if I could settle down, then I would settle down.") and we stopped talking and starting the song over. We then did this about 5 more times... then went on to enjoy the rest of the CD. All in all, I'm glad I like Pavement now.
