WAYYYYYY too much school ranting, apologizing, and generally uninspiring banter. (Next time... I'm just going to play music... and not talk.) Talked about frustration and things unconsequential, attention deficit "disorder," extra ham omelettes, why teenagers should (utilize the right to) be angry, and challenging oneself.

On the upside, there are SIX truly awesome songs here. click on the links and tell the artists you heard 'em here and that they are awesome.

"bonestorm" by the isotopes, "tinfoil" by rainer maria, "pistol-whipped" by love county, "saccharine" by sunday's best, "holy night fever" by deerhoof

what do you do when you have the most extreme need to do a podcast but it is 12:24 in the middle of the night? i need to apologize for the last one. and I forgot to mention that the december drive's "none of the above" isn't really new. I think I had said it was. I need to wake up at 5 and do this sucker.

"porksauce and applechops" by the un-fun slide, "do you crawl" by the bourbon knights, "your drama" by shanghai 5, "untitled for now" by goody anne, "penelope" by of montreal.

no austin today. maybe we can drive up tonight and still see the rest of them? I don't know if my mom's willing to go that crazy when she gets home. I don't think we have a place to stay, since my former ride probably cancelled their freaking hotel room.
Austin's KVUE - ACL Festival information, SBC blueroom live stream of ACL, noaa feed of the lastest with Rita.

i have no ipod, no austinmusic, and an enormous headache.
oh! but I have this clustermap thing now! It's so cool! hello montreal! and wyoming? and san francisco? uhh. I can't tell. I love you guys, but how am i ever going to get those australians?

Sooo. It looks like we might just be able to go. Maybe. I think. God, I hope. I want my tortoise and my mates of state and my rilo kiley and .... but I'm not gonna get crazy and excited quite yet... just quietly and robotically do my laundry and pack a duffel bag with the basics. I need to do that stuff but I plan to take a nice, long, compensatory (word?) 6-hour nap, and podcast afterward, because I hope and think my brain won't be quite as dysfunctional after i give it a chance to recoup!

did i mention bruce robison? god damn. I better not look at the names. only the fiery furnaces and the arcade fire and tegan and sara and bloc party and the dirty dozen brass band and widespread panic and buddy guy and death cab for cutie. only them. and the other people I hadn't really heard of but wanted to see anyway like kasabian and mofro and the walkmen and the frames and built to spill and aqualung and the asylum street spankers. gosh. and wilco. burhhh. I just had to remind myself of everything I'm missing. that's all.

go to the austin city limits schedule page and check out MY schedule by entering the code below. if anyone going reads this before the festival... we should meet! unless you're a pedophile!

SO. looks like RITA has totally destroyed the trip that was going to make our year. er, updates later.

(Also, expect a wee change in "format," if it can be called that. I'll talk about that soon.)

just to be clear...

I have no ipod and no internet card for my laptop, but am allowed to get on this big computer in the living room. apparently, until I can "prove that I can get myself out the door on time" in the morning.

I need to make a better podcast, and a promo. because whether or not I enjoy talking to myself and publishing what i say on the internet, it is all for naught if no one listens. lack of feedback bums me out so much. I know the last one wasn't good, but urgh.

speaking of feedback, I've enjoyed the random congratulations in the hallways, seeing as how my actual friends haven't really asked me or congratulated me because they don't really know what I do in choir. and I suppose that's cool. I just wish they knew what i did on saturday. ha ha. wow. that was a tangent. (the thing is, making district choir is a big deal... but does it matter, really? in the whole scheme of things, I mean? If I drop out of school tomorrow, will that really matter?)

By the way, I will probably be updating this thing like a freakin lj... since the livejournal thing is blocked from the school computers. so... deal.

I know no one's actually reading this. But I'm sorry that my ODEO page is so messed up. I tried to fix the files and make them shorter so I'd have space on my account... but it made like 10 ODEO shows. sorry sorry sorry. if I knew how to fix it, I would.

more notes later!

Ok em, f. that dude, I'm podcasting this week for sure. love, She-who-has-a-lot-to-say P.S. I'm sooo not scared anymore. Knowing your shit is awesome.

Stupidest post ever, my god. It needs editing.

I want to put a little blog entry out right now because I need to stay off the computer this week. I have district auditions for all-state choir on Saturday, which means I need to start getting consistent, adequate rest... as opposed to the... 5 hours I usually get. I need to be more organized with my time.

I'm in the most overwhelming electronica mood of my life. I've been listening to indiefeed's electronica podcast and there are these fricken laptop battles and I'm in love. go see for yourself or something. Hopefully I will overcome the urge to play with ACID this week while I keep the internet card thing out of my computer... for the most part.

I haven't been updating my livejournal for the past couple of months, but I have a feeling I will be doing so ferociously this week since I am not going to let myself podcast for sure, until Saturday night when I get home from auditions.

In the meantime, I'll just be looking for 5/6ish awesome tracks. And I have a ton of shit to say. Hopefully I said something of consequence last time, even though I was all hyped up on coffee. ERRRGH I have to go do homework.

THE POINT IS, please tell me what you hate and like and what you ate for supper. Leave me a comment here or on the audio comment line thing.

note to self: know shit about the bands and talk about their interestingness, and identify specifically cool things about music more often.

Laney's voicemail, Matt's voicemail. Best voicemails of my life. And only voicemails of my life.

I am super tired. I sang the alma mater at the football game tonight and Ali (Ringtones, remember?) sang the national anthem. :].
But like I said, super tired. I've been really stupid the past couple of days and completed practically none of my homework while staying up late doing nothing online.
So I wouldn't have stayed at the football game, but I was trying to acquaint Kris the exchange student from Thailand with the game of football. Fabian and Simon from Germany were pimping it up (seriously, approximately 3 women a minute) like crazy so they had no trouble acquainting themselves.
Um, about this photo.. I can't describe it. Odd, there we go. (Oh, we lost the game by the way, really badly.) Oh yeah, later it popped up again with not one, but TWO phone numbers... aw damn I forgot to write them down.
OK zoning out.. time to go to sleep. Tomorrow morning I will wake up, drink coffee, and go biking to China and then maybe run a few miles. I think that will get me pumped up for the podcast I have been waiting to do for so long.
Oh, guess why I only have 39 megs left? because I've been putting my podcast out on this ridiculously high sound quality level and now I feel kind of pressed for space, since I've taken up around 50 megs per thingy , and guessed that's just how they rounded out. Stupid. OH WELL, no. You know what this is good for? Discouraging future listeners from downloading the really old podcasts. Taking up too much memory.

o.k. the end.

When you derive happiness from nothing you create yourself, your happiness will not be sustained. That's something some hoes need to realize. I just did.

This podcast is late. I made it Thursday, but edited some things out. Please fast fwd through me talking, and you'll have a good podcast, possibly. God damn, I hate this podcast. But this is so old that it will take me hours to redo. Is that shameful? Damn.
I talk about... (I'll make links later)
Echo Base Soundsystem
