Riding the diplodoc

Here I am again. Past saturday was way too fucking wild for me, a old friend was throwing a kickback so I go in there and we start drinking, I remember taking 2 shots and drinking 2 beers. I clearly remember being sober, then next thing you know I blackout. I get carried home from what I heard (my other friend driving drunk) I was brought home 3 am. I wake up at 8am shocked scared and thinking what the fuck happened and with bruises all over my body. I have never blacked out and have dranked a bottle of vodka without passing out only throwing my brains out. I find it wierd that I blackedout. I believe someone put something on my drink but not entirely sure. Well Riding the diplodoc is a cool german instrumental twinkly math rock band. Band surpasses fucking awesome. I do have bad memories of this band, especially there EP Crystal Fuxx since I heard it around the time I was going through bullshit, the EP has a shoegaze style. As if The Pine went on instrumental. Its a 4 track epic EP. While there other Ep Dilettantes like lions has more of a mathy sound to it. Though I like the new sound, very original for a instrumental band to do. Anyways. I also uploaded a demo track onto the Crystal Fuxx EP. I don't think I am ever drinking again, I am traumatized but this band is fucking cool that I will listen to over and over. I do believe Crystal fuxx is far my favorite EP for 2012 and a good start in summer. If you like cool original shit. I reccomend this stuff. If not at least download the Crystal fuxx EP. Its free. By the way; I still fucking hate faries.

Gio/Jesus

Well I looked back to all the goodtimes my young days. I forgot I recorded a few acoustic tracks along with my buddy's solo stuff he did. I remember uploading the stuff we did sadly theres at least 15 or more songs that I didnt had a chance to upload on mediafire since jesus had the songs on his iphone thing and he sold it (idiot turd) anyways. heres a little something I remember while recording my first solo EP

Gio

"It was a thursday and thanksgiving was on friday. I decieded to ditch with a friend of mine we walked slowly back home smoking cigarettes and getting high once I got home around 12 I had a beat in my head that I had to play. I began recording in my room and the song "Ive loved you for so long" was created. Though I did not write it for anyone, well to think about it I kinda did. An ex of mine Elaine called me. We talked as friends though still mad for cheating on me that summer of that year I ended up hanging up on her then I did the song. Maybe I was in love once in my life well twice to be exact in 2007 and in mid 2008. 2 girls Rochelle and Elaine. Man.. Still hurts thinking of it. It's not even compared to most of the broads Ive dated later which I ended not giving a shit in the end because of the dumb excuses they use for a break up. Anyways, Prologue EP is the first 4 songs I did in November 2009. I would play the songs back at my old high school where I graduated in Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School. Although I am not much of a solo artist as Jesus is (he is more experienced to it). We would all ditch school and go to guitar center in Cerritos by Cerritos mall in the morning smoke a few cigs play instruments and sing. We recorded 2 songs together while we were in guitar center in a small acoustic room. The room was nice for a acoustic jam and to record. Later on way later on we did another 2 songs together singing which were later officially unreleased. In mid 2010 I finally recorded my few debut solo entitled "Growing Calm Together" Its about 8 songs or 9 I believe of bullshit of the depths of my life and love life (sorta). Though I believe I half assed my debut length for some reason. I will always remember those late nights when we would all lay back and relax and dance in the cold breeze. My friends, everything around me in this city I live in is fully dedicated to my solo work Ive done. Though I see me as a shitty solo artist somewhat. I am planning on doing another release under the name Homeless Life. I have recorded a 4 song summer demo down and hopefully I will get it out mid August. Also I have found old lyrics I never used for any songs which also has titled to each song. I picked these 2 sheets of paper with 6 songs written. Replacing parts, Counting on, Comparision in me, Numb hands, Lost, and Poverty. I didn't know that these lyrics for each of these songs were so powerful yet all these years they just sat there in my room waiting to be burned. I am hoping this Self titled by Homeless Life will change the course of my music history. I see this as a very positive view to my solo stuff. This time I am thinking of going more a bit shoegaze acoustic that will sound like songs from the pine "Face drawings" or that sounds like the 90's shoegaze band Low. I believe the shoegaze sadd gloomy sound gives it a strong emotion to the acoustic era. Im those type of people that look back to things and see how easily we adapt to whats new for us. I don't know maybe its just me being wierd but thats just me"

Jesus

Jesus is more of an expert on solo music than myself. Many know him for his great singing and playing. I know the dude as a pot head, happy hippy, who is interested in knowledge. He is a very cool dude and a close good homie of mine. I remember meeting him back in 2008 I believe at a kickback (which was one of my first) my first impression was that he looks swell and interesting in apsects. I talked to him and from there we became good buddies. I love smoking with the guy. In early 2010 he released Sad album which were about 9 songs I believe. Though in the end he told me that he didnt like this release he did, I actually admired it alot. Lady in blue which is a song of his does sound a bit alike the intro to Ive loved you for so long. If you ever stop by Long Beach and mention Jebus most likely someone in the crowd will know him. He sometimes mentions of another solo album he wants to release but its been a while since he is working on other stuff, though you will find him at the swapmeet in Harbor college playing music for money. Ever see him talk to him, very chill guy and has a lot of knowledge. I am always interested what this guy talks about as much of a hippy he is, plus smoking with him is very releaxing. Ive been wanting to start an instrumental math rock project band with him but for now we got to much shit that we hope in the near future to start. I believe if me and him join forces we will destroy in this band. Anyway here his debut length.

Sad Album

Alta- Places

Man, I have been fucking flipping balls on the radiation Long Beach has in the beach. Ive been noticing that many large bunkers or I would say vaults in parts of the world are being made. It kinda scares me but I have a major feeling that the ozone layer that protects us humans from the nasty fires of the sun is being destroyed. The earthquake that fucked up Japan with that nuclear site and all the chemical spill in the ocean actually came down here to Cali Long Beach and unfortunatly it fucking has some bad radiation in the water though no one has fucking told us or give a fuck of the endangerment of our shitty land. The water looks like a piece of turd that threw up in the water. I believe some low key shit is happening right now many of us don't know. Back to the music post. Alta (One of my actual favorite bands of today) recently released a 7 song length entitled places. It is a major impact for summer. Probably best release I heard coming out this summer. I just heard it on there bandcamp and it fucking blew me away. I want to take there first EP and combine it with that split and that compilation track and put it as all in one together. What do you get? 15 fucking amazing songs to listen to while your on spice or fucking salvia, even high or drunk or on ecstasy. It is truly an inspiring length or EP I suppose. I mean if you guys don't know they just released this, it is a definetly check this motha fucking shit out. It rocked and cammed on my socks. I had to upload it on mediafire, Happened to be the first as well. the bandcamp download is much of a larger file and contains a video live set of the songs introspection I and II being played at a basement if you guys want to check that shit out. I only put the 7 tracks on the file since I don't like downloading large files. If none of you don't know Alta (Which you guys should by now since last Alta post) there fucking amazing, it isn't the hottest DIY band out there according to many other grwat DIY bands. But it is far one of the many that caught my eye for me to fucking say, uhh there fucking awesome and caught my motherfucking eye.

Places

Patterns Make Sunrise

So back to the 90's section of this blog, in the mid 90's this band existed to only release this 7" (Some say its untitled others say its a self titled 7") they did 4 songs. K records who also released Lync's first and only full length and there compilation LP of unreleased songs, etc. (K records is a motherfucking awesome label by the way a bunch of indie/emo bands. Check it) Well I am not informed on any info of this band, but I can tell you this... That there awesome and you should like download them. If you like Kolya, Lync, Allure, etc most of the 90's emo bands I have on my blog. I will assure you will love this.

Sore Eyelids

Man, saturday night I had this organic weed from a dispensery store and it was called spice. I basically thought it was regular weed. once I took 3 hits of this drug substance I did not feel high as in matter of fact I felt more like I was on fucking salvia for the first time. I realized the change, I sort of felt drunk in some way and very very light headed. I sorta spaced out while my friend kept giving me negative comments on that getting high and drinking is bad (mother fucker you offered me a beer and spice you piece of turd fuck) My friend Paulina drove me downtown then we headed to wal mart, we talked while walking down those streets it really felt nice no lie. I really liked the vibe, once i was dropped off home I had a major headache that I had never had a really bad migrane til that day. Though shes one of my friends friend and I am not that close to her as a matter of fact I never got to hang out with her but only say hi when I would see her back in high school now that shes in cal state and im in lbcc we sorta talk more often, I been trying to get her close to me. I may feel somewhat affection towards her. Maybe the fact that I need a real women who is not under 18 though I am a year older than her and we have the same birthday June 29 (Fucking wierd). Henning from Suis La Lune, also did this project band The Pine influence band Sore Eyelids (Which The Pine has a song called sore eyelids. The band did a self titled EP in 2009 I believe then we never heard of anything coming from this band til 2011 of a song called I wish I could believe in you. in 2012 they did 3 cover songs which 2 of the songs are actually nice and the other is ehh okay in my opinion. Sore eyelids kinda brings that late 80's/90's wave to my ears with there shoegaze and emo lyrics. I won't lie it is pretty addicting. I can't really compare it to the pine, since the vocals are more high pitch and uses different tunning than Sore eyelids which has a deeper vocal singing style. Im really happy Sore eyelids did a 10 song self titled this year. I am upset out of the 10 songs 7 are brand new. I dont think they shouldve re-recorded 3 of the songs that were on the self titled EP though its just my opinion. Anyways. There very cool and I am hoping for a second full length maybe next year. I uploaded the cover songs to mediafire since fucking no one has done that. enjoy :)

Slint

Slint is one of the earliest post-hardcore, math rock, emoish band from 1986 the band did 3 releases about 17 just like the band Saetia. There first release is Tweez which is a nice classic to me but there second release spiderland is far more of a classic in my opinion even one of the songs from Spiderland "Good Morning, Captain" was featured in the movie Kids (By the way its a fucking epic mid 90's film about teenagers from new york engaging to sex, drugs, alcohol, and sadly aids.) The band broke up in 1994. They lastly released a 2 song single 10"/CD the 2 songs were unreleased songs that were going to be on a 12" after the release of tweez but never happened. Im happy I came across this band last year I believe. They did a reunion in 2007 but it was impossible for to even go since it was in a different state. I am a stoner and enjoy shit that sounds like this. You kids should check it out. Lately I also been on Slint's balls listening to Spiderland getting high on pills (which isn't normally what I do, but fuck it) I love the guitar dynamics and odd tune of the guitars. It isn't your typical green day cliche band. You can also hear where Kolya got there influence from as well.

Lautrec

Lautrec was a fucking sexy awesome 4 piece jazzy/Screamo/punk band, the band did lasted a while to make more than 13 songs but sadly did 13 songs. They did a discography entitled 8 songs which features all the splits they did a Native/Lautrec/Mans/Lion Of The North 4 way split CD, Lautrec/The Reptilian/Boy Problems/Osceola Split CD, and Ghost Towns/Lautrec Split 7" the 8 songs come with another set of 2 songs. I am not sure if the songs Free refills and Modern technology were on another split which I can't remember if they are or not. They also released a 3 song self titled 7" which I didn't listen to until they released there discography tape. Which also features 2 unlreleased songs the band lasted from 2008-2010 I believe. 2 years and 13 songs. Members went of to Lord snow and some other fucking band I don't remember. There a very heavy influence band to me. I definetly learned all the 8 songs. I am sure many of you know this band already, but if you havent you are late in the game baby meaning what you can do is download there 13 track discography. I remember hearing this band in there Lautrec/The Reptilian/Boy Problems/Osceola Split CD back in 2009. Its fucking dope shit. Check it
