elliott smith - go by

been a few days since i posted. facebook platform is taking over my life. i want to quit my job, move back home, and code it endlessly. but i've bullshit to pretend to do.

fucking a.

nine inch nails - survivalism

oh shit


oh shit


oh shit



facebook platform is EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE.

absolutely amazing, stunning. fucking swears

i'm not sleeping for 2 days, i can already feel it. i'm so excited about this.

toucher and rich on wbcn

well - today hasn't been so productive, mostly because of last night.

first, i got to the middle east at the perfect time. the two non-headliners just ended their sets - although, i wish i arrived just a bit earlier to catch them. buck65 took the stage and rocked it hard. pretty sure every song was new - nothing off 'secret house against the world.' the crowd was loving it, he's def got some serious potential.

sage francis really took control of the crowd. heard some old songs, some new songs. he had a guy doing some spoken word in the middle - that was an absolutely utter diaster. later it was obvious he purposely tried to make it a diaster (he was pretending to be hardcore republican basically) - but it pissed people off in the crowd. waste of time. he came back at the end and gave a really good poem, so that made up for it, but still. anyway, sage francis, kicked it.

can't wait to see both of them at rock the bells. one side note: i saw buck65 standing off to the side, sorta not on stage, not in the crowd, looking pretty sad that sage francis was rocking the crowd more then he did. kid needs to cheer up, he's got more skill then francis, he just doesn't write tunes for the radio.

anyway, drank some beers there then went out to pizza with barisser. had a good time - we'll be drinking sometime soon. should be tonight, but i stayed out so late that i woke up really late, missed the babson post office hours so i couldn't get my SAS book. today was supposed to be a reading day... now i'm basically working from 6pm to midnight to get my quota in. fuckin a.

BUT FACEBOOK PLATFORM IS DROPPING! can't wait!

brother ali - champion (remix)

it's a sunny day in boston, i rolled up into the library to begin billing hours feeling like a champion. my rss reader is filling up nicely, trying to not let it get too crazy. after a few days of adding feeds, i'm starting to realize i really only need top quality bloggers like scroble. there's a lot of boring, useless, mediocre shit out on the interwebs, those guys can sort through it for me.

going to see a show tonight - sage francis and buck 65. it's at the middle east - which i don't actually think i've seen a show at, been downstairs a few times. i'm pumped though. i think i will see them again at rock the bells with rage against the machine. THAT show is going to be all out insane - on my birthday, no less.

smashing pumpkins - tarantula

i can't stop listening to the new smashing pumpkins single (listen here).

been trying to wrap my head around the lyrics:

I don’t wanna fight
Every single night
Everything I want is in your light
You and me go there
To places I don’t know to care
The spoils of all I’ve got were left to scrounge

Don’t let me say this,
but you’re no worse than me,
It’s crazy

We are real, if real ever was, just because
We all feel, feel we’ve had enough,
I’m real, ‘cause someone gave us sound

I wanna be there when you’re happy
I wanna love you when you’re sad,
Can’t stand the morning rain

Get out and take your place then
Can’t stand the blazing sun
Then close your eyes you’ll see
The angel die.

I don’t want to be
Anything for these
A million watts of sound can’t compare

Come along you’ll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfolds
The current starts to flow and they are on

Oh it’s a white hot soul they want
sinful

You’re real, if real ever was, it’s just because
You’re real, every living soul
Yes I’m real, ‘cause someone gave us sound

Don’t break the oath
I want to love you when you’re happy,
Don’t break this oath
I want to be there when you’re sad
Please bring the pouring rain.

You’re real, as real as any ghost,
It’s easy now,
I’m real, in every living soul
God gave us

Can’t stand the blazing sun
Can’t stand the morning rain
Get out and take your places

I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone
I don’t want to be alone

If it’s a white hot soul they want
It’s a black heart they’ll get

anyway, about to bill some hours in the library. still feeling very excited about what facebook is up to, i've mocked up 2 apps that i've been working on in my domespace for a bit. hopefully if platform is good and integrates really well into facebook, well, it's going to be very interesting.

FIRST

first post. going to keep expectations low and not try to do anything intelligent, except to say that i'm fist-pumping-excited about facebook's new platform. i've got a ton of ideas that i want to throw at facebook's established base of users. i've found it's just damn hard/expensive to get users to your site, hopefully by connecting with facebook i'll get some more visitors/testers.

and i'm done, peace.
