I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG

The Hives “Tick Tick Boom” (Sweden)

Yeah (3x)
I was right all along
Yeah (3x)
You come tagging along
Exhibit A
On a tray
What you say
Ends up thrown in your face
Exhibit B
What you see
Well that’s me
I’ll put you back in your place
Yeah I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
So what you waiting for?
Yeah
I was right all along
Chorus
You know I’ve done it before
And I can do it some more
I’ve got my eye on the score
I’m gonna cut through the floor
It’s too late
It’s too soon
Or is it
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick … Boom!!
Yeah (3x)
I was right you were wrong
Yeah (3x)
Going, going you’re gone!
I saw you yesterday, waiting too much
Till it slipped through your hands
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door
‘Coz there’s no second chance!
Chorus
Now you come crying to me
But it’s too late!
The man you’re proud to be
But it’s too late!
Get your head out of the sand
But it’s too late!!
It’s too late,
Too late ! (3x)
Yeah!
But it’s too late! (2x)
Get your head out of the sand,
But it’s too late!
Chorus
It’s too late
It’s too soon
It’s too late
It’s too soon
It’s too late
It’s too soon
Or is it …
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick….
Boom!!!

‘yappari’ (japanese expression to mean ‘…as i thought.’

it’s weird how my instincts still serve me well. i can still feel what people are thinking and can quietly act, or react, accordingly to suit a favorable outcome. i must be psychotic.

***

digitalism, mstrkrft, nypc,…so many good shows this weekend. i’ve been wanting to just stomp and get sweaty…lose myself…noone to lose…noone to host…just myself. well…unless you’re willing to put on some kicks and battle me.

***

i want to go to scandinavia. stockholm, helsinki, oslo, amsterdam, reijavik, and copenhagen. next summer. start saving.

***

(i wonder how i’d feel if one day ku sends me a letter with the picture above telling me, ‘dad! i’m in a band!’ i’d probably send him an mp3 of SLAYER right away).

or, worse, this band:

i’m taking an amnesty break from club life. find me.

I AM UNDER NO DISGUISE

Prefuse 73 feat. School Of Seven Bells “The Class of ‘73 Bells” (Spain/NYC)

I am neither breather nor speaker
I am neither walker nor sleeper
I am neither sister, brother, son, nor daughter
Soley in my chest is my heart a drum of water

I am under no disguise.

time to reveal.

on the third day, i finally called even though i’ve been dying to call since she gave me her number. i know it’s retarded.

we started talking. she had a very soft voice and i loved how she giggled at my jokes. we’d talk for hours. for some reason, i felt like i could tell her anything.

***

i’ve been reconnecting with friends from high school. we were all death rockers, head bangers, punks, skins, and mods. it’s hilarious how some of us, all grown up, are still hardcore at heart.

we all still wear all black! lol

one word: demented.

***

prefuse. r2d2. tipper. amon tobin. yep. i like. i was in a multimedia dj/vj live p.a. band unit in the summer of ‘02. i put out an album compilation of idm-ish dubstep downtempo dnb breaks tracks that was internationally distributed by Revolver Distro.

i hoped to press 1000 vinyl and use the net from that to release a sophomore. the label insisted i press 5000. 1000 was sold by the end of my tokyo-nyc-london shows and 3000 six months after that. i sold 2000 more than i expected! but the label said, ‘ you sold 2000 less than we expected.”

*apparently, you can still order it! lol!!! $12! none of it goes to me though.

(i designed the album cover too)

then i found out the president of the sub-label that signed me was sending boxes of the units to his house for himself…which was illegal. so…no sophomore. pffft.

***

i can’t wait to get back into the studio! i’ve been working so hard on everything, work, dot, flick, and fam that i totally neglected my own music. i’ve been jammin’ some acoustic gtr in the backyard lately and i feel like i’m moving into the musicmaking mode again…i think i’ll go deep.

*good thing since i haven’t finished the soundtrack for ‘bizarre love pentagram.’ yea!!! i’m hiding back in the studio for a while. sounds like fun!

IN THE LIGHT THEY BOTH LOOKED THE SAME

Arcade Fire “Neon Bible” (Canada)

A vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light they both looked the same.
Pourred them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl.

It’s in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.

Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
What I know is what you know is right,
In the city it’s the only light.

It’s the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
[Neon Bible lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

If the Neon Bible is right.

Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh! you lost it, but you don’t know how!
In the light of a golden calf,
Oh God! I had to laugh!

Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
It was wrong but you said it was right,
In the future I will read at night.

In the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is true.

TO THE END

Locksley “All Over Again” (NYC)

You all say the things you mean, so you can see I’ve had enough of you.
Well you want everything to seem like everything’s alright but that’s not true.
So my friend, is this the end of everything you thought that you would be?
Oh all you love has come and gone, and now I know exactly what to do.
You’re gonna gonna gonna,
Have to start all over again.
Well if you wanna see this thing through,
To the end.
You need to need to need to,
Find a friendly hand.
You’re gonna gonna gonna,
Have to start all over again.
What do you think hiding all your feelings deep inside will get you through?
The time has come to stand back from behind the place you’re hiding your feelings.
You are just the sum of things, you feel it, all the memories you keep.
Well you are young and dumb but there’s still time to get that heart up off your sleeve.
You’re gonna gonna gonna,
Have to start all over again.
Well if you wanna see this thing through,
To the end.
You need to need to need to,
Find a friendly hand.
You’re gonna gonna gonna,
Have to start all over again.
Start over again X2
Start over again (start all over again) X3
Start over again (start. all. over)
Hey!

isn’t it nice to know that, after all you’ve been through, you can still be as vulnerable, as innocent, as scared, as you once were when taking the first steps from heartbreak, you can get over any bullshit and triumph over yourself to make things happen in life…and you do.

my mama use to say, ’success is the best revenge.’ but it’s not about revenge. it’s about forgiveness. yes. success is the best…forgiveness. * i’m gonna have to tweak that one, mama.*

***

ever had anyone in your life who you can’t stand to be with but can’t live apart from? after awhile you just have sex to ward off evil for several hours, sometimes weeks, before shit hits the fan about something else? it’s usually the same underlying conflict. i say take a break and date other people, for both your sake.

she walked in with her classmate buddies and i knew right away that she will be my girlfriend. i talked like i was hot shit and she started believing me. i didn’t ask for her number. instead, i waited to see her again.

i saw her again dragging two hefty bag loads of clothes over her shoulders. she had long hair, jeans, chucks, and a bow legged walk that made her cute butt stick out. she was on her way to the laundromat so my buddy ____ and i carried the bags for her. he was starting to spit game but, luckily, she was too distracted by me.

on our way back, i made sure to pass by the laundromat to see if she was still there. i helped her bring her clothes back to her spot and smoked a bowl with her. she was totally distracted and clumsy! lol

i left before it got weird. i was all, ‘hey! i need a tutor, and you need a tutor so we should tutor each other, like, friday night, or something.’ she said, ‘umm…okay.’

i brought a bottle of wine. she made dinner. it was on.

TILL I TAKE ONE OF THEM HOME

Metric “Poster Of A Girl” (Canada)

Can’t stand by myself
Hate to sleep alone
Surprises always help
So I take somebody home
To find out how I feel
Feel like just a baby
Portrait of a lady
Poster of a girl

Satisfy myself
Avoid beginners
Who long to shut my mouth
Till I take one of them home
‘Cause I know how it feels
Filling in the blanks
Looking on the bright side
When there is no bright side
Coming in your pants
For the off chance
With a poster of a girl

my pre-bday week has been a great doozer. i need to rest for the next two days before resuming post-bday week festivities including the highly anticipated DOT.CLUB VIP PREMIERE PARTY this wednesday night. the theme i’m meditating on is “intrigue.” i plan to play early again so you should come quickly (not prematurely) and get your electro indie a la joxelito on vibrate.

i’m real excited about the premiere! we’re not really promoting at the same parties we go to…instead, we’ve been promoting to a totally different crowd with similar taste. so looking forward to introducing everybody! we’re even gonna do a ‘blind date’ show and see if anyone sues! lol

“i like you…if it’s not obvious already. i’m not playing hard to get…but you should get to know me better.”

you’re my morningwood.

BUT YOU SEEM SO FAR AWAY

Paris “60 Minutes” (Sweden)

Disconnected line
My frustration is growing
each minute I..m spending on my own
Disconnected time
My heart has changed it..s rythm
it..s beating very wrong

Oh! I..m out of time
I..ve been staring at the phone now
for 60 minutes.

Disconnected line
Now I know that my feelings
about this can..t be wrong
Disconnected love
Maybe it..s just bad
that I..m feeling all alone

Oh! I..m out of time
I..ve been staring at the phone now
for 60 minutes.

Now I know that it..s better this way
You have to listen to what I say
But you seem so far away

Oh! I..m out of time
I..ve been staring at the phone now
for 60 minutes.
