  1. bought last night. listened today. really enjoy it. there's some great melancholy melodics. really sublime
  2. it's strange to think there's a person under all that somewhere
  3. That's pretty much the way I see it. Some claim that Bernie hasn't conceded tho, despite his endorsement announcement yesterday. I'm sticking with Jill too, unless Bernie can prove he has a real chance of nomination. Trump talks tough but shits his diapers whenever he's forced to play defense. i think they said the same about ralph nader but that only brought us GW Bush and invasion of iraq etc etc. trump playing defense is pretty funny. he just tweets horseshit.. i guess it's all horseshit though when it comes to him. the clinton/trump debates.. should they even happen.. will be absurd.
  4. anyone but trump, yeah? bargaining. before endorsing her he insisted/negotiated to have some of his goals/ideas become part of the democratic platform. it's "stop trump" time really. but i think bernie would've been less cooperative with his support if hillary didn't play ball a little. it's lesser of two evils really and she's the "safer" gamble. trump would be a human brexit for the whole planet. I have serious doubts that Bernie's platform will be meaningfully incorporated into Hillary's. She might promise to do it, but she won't follow through. She gets too much corporate money for her to make corporations pay their fair share in taxes, for instance. And it's almost a certainty that she will support the TPP, despite her recent claims to the contrary. oh i agree. at most a bone and some scraps will be thrown from the table. i think this is a tipping point for come things. hard to imagine all the young voters who came out for bernie to forget whatever goes down this time around. the hillary machine scorns them then next go around she'll be in the cold just a wee bit more when the election comes around (should she pull off the win this time) and should she not win this time it's a big signal to get with the progressive mandates and get real about reform. hillary is status quo 90s big business politics. she might as well be pro-choice reagan but trump is napalm covered shit for the world. he's more corrupt than anyone since day one in his business life. really. everything he's done has been a swindle.. a scam. a manipulation of bankruptcy laws and contracts. he's a Berlusconi.. a Putin. there's no ideology there. no agenda other than personal gain and to me that's some how more dangerous than hillary's hawkish corporate fascism or whatever we're calling it.. neoliberalism or whatever. so, it comes down to a protest vote for jill stein or writing in bernie sanders at risk of just pushing it over the edge enough got trump to win. how many brexit voters voted 'leave' thinking it'd be just a protest vote?

  6. i'm in miami. it's 90+ and humidity is ridiculous. i grew up here and left when i was 25. going outside means instantly sweating and glasses fog up and balls sweat.

    5 hour flight tomorrow. ;) btw.. yesterday was all about spaces how V acdwn2 mesh cinereaL 13x0 step
  8. it's an inspired sounding track. i like it a lot. i haven't liked much of his output for a while but this track is great. downloading the mixdown stems now to have a mess around with them at some point.
  9. if you make a bunch of money in a short period of time then you work less or retire sooner or just fuck off and take 2 years off or whatever. but yeah.. that shit leaches your soul a bit if you don't keep your head on right or have a plan and perspective. money isn't terrible. you can do cool stuff w/money. charities etc. a friend of mine came into some money when he was pretty young. not enough to say fuck off to the world. he has a job and so does his wife. but he started a scholarship fund. an endowment so some kid can go to college and get some help paying for it every year..
  10. oh, today my GF said.. "yeah i keep forgetting to tell you but i already told my parents we'd have dinner at their place. my cousin is in town and will be there".. which is fine really.. i like all these people and i won't have to think about what's for dinner.. but i'm fucking exhausted and want to work on some music before i go to the east coast for family reunion-ish things. i should just commit to locking myself up and not being bothered and being alone forever except maybe for the place i go buy groceries. jesus what a pile of garbage it was, and i watched the extra long 3 hour ultimate version of it too. better off watching superman returns with brandon routh, parker posey, kevin spacey and what's her name as lois lane. at least that one has some kind of style and charisma even though leans a bit much on the love story angle for some people.
  11. was watching episode of buffy vampire slayer when i saw this
  12. having work done on my house (earthquake retrofit - house built in 1945 and they didn't bolt houses to the foundation back then but oregon has gone all nutty over "the big one" so i'm doing the basic responsible thing to keep my house from sliding off its foundation in a quake) and i can't finish watching the OJ doc thing "OJ made in america" because of all the noise and commotion. my girlfriend is sleeping soundly through it all as she is expert level deep sleep master
