it's been a while, almost an entire month. not much is going on. la vérité is playing shows with the american dollar, tera melos, moving mountains, and standby red 5, as well as we are currently booking our summer tour because a few things fell through.
other than that, writing has been slow [in fact, not really happening], but we've decided that we are going to track the album entirely to 2" tape with mr. pete drivere and have it mixed by mr. john congleton. we have 2 songs completely finished and have several very developed ideas.
college is coming to a very slow close. one week of classes & one week of finals left and then we're done for the summer. ryan and i finalized our lease at eagles landing the other day and that's about it.
finals are looming...
take care

80 days til tour.
-the countdown begins now.
andrew, derek, doug, and i sat down and finished two more songs for the upcoming release over the break. 3 songs down. 4 to go? 5 to go? i don't know. brando is booking the tour with the invasion agency out of cleveland, so the shows for the tour should be pretty stellar. excitement is brewing! many days in andrew's hot & sticky blazer await...
school is moving along and my scores are relatively good. i am not really shitting about it anymore; i've got my shit under control right now.
i bought a bicycle, it's name is murray.
and more importantly...
spring is here.

:::::::
- less than 7 days until spring break
- this shit is ridiculous
la vérité is getting stronger again and it feels pretty cool to be behind a drum set again. it feels residual, which it sort of is. derek is really fitting well and it's ridiculous how well we all get along. hopefully within the next few weeks we can be completely solid performance-wise on the current catalogue of material and can continue writing the new album of songs. cool.
8 weeks into a 16 week semester. half way feels like three quarters of the way and that fucking sucks. i am going to go home to sleep, play music, and see my people for 9 days and we will see where i stand after that.
small personal victory #1: someone referred to my facial hair as a "beard" today. welcome to manhood, adam!
small personal victory #2: ash likes my beard.
i am especially stoked on the american dollar's latest release "a memory stream."
- brilliant recording, check it.

at least it's getting warmer
busy life. last week i had a lot of school business to attend to and then tyler quit la vérité. shit's a bummer, but the remaining 3 of us decided it would be advantageous for me to start playing drums again. luckily, we tried out our friend derek on bass guitar and we're pretty certain he's going to work out.
other than that, nothing is going on. i am unbelievably bored/swamped with school work and i need to start looking for a job. oh, ryan and i are about sign a lease for our apartment in kent for next year, so that's pretty cool.
alright, shit's weak today.

at times
like these
i turned 19 but i still feel 18. i guess there isn't a huge difference except that i cut all of my hair off. la vérité played a house show over the weekend and it was real fun. playing houses is something that we've only done a handful of times, but, they tend to be my favorite shows. there's not a more intimate setting. it's so funny to play dramatic instrumental music at a party because no one really knows how to react. a cool group of friends at the 155 were super responsive and it really made the show. the promo machine for our next grog shop show is starting to move [if you want a ticket...] and the 28th should be considerably intense.
off subject, the single most influential musical act from my childhood and a large portion of my teenage years, blink182, reunited, and that sparked a whole lot of nostalgia. kind of wild.
my room mate is fucking loud.

there is a
tear in the fabric
so, i started school again: math, politics, philosophy, history. since it is only the second week of class, most instructors are still getting their bearings and not much is going on. it proves to be rather boring and annoying. i spend a lot of time listening to music and sleeping. sometimes it feels as though music could fix all of life's problems [or at least my own]; but, alas, it cannot.
la vérité is playing shows selectively and passively writing for our next album. the material we've turned out thus far is pretty impressive by our own standards. i really love those guys to death, they're my brothers, and i really miss them when i am in kent. our friend adam magana took photos of us a few weeks ago and came to our show in kent saturday night to document that event as well. the photographs are turning out very well and i insist you to check out his photography at the link at the bottom of the post.
i haven't anything else.

what we all
have in common
as a change of pace, i have decided to list the albums of music that are currently tickling my fancy:
in no order:
mono - you are there
mono - walking cloud and deep red sky
hammock - raising your voice... trying to stop an echo
various artists - the darjeeling limited soundtrack
battles - EP C
the beatles - sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band
death cab for cutie - narrow stairs
this will destroy you - s/t
maps and atlases - trees, swallows, houses
owen - at home with owen
radiohead - in rainbows
the six parts seven - casually smashed to pieces
this will destroy/lymbyc systym - the field studies EP
very nice work.

i am not a philosopher. none of this is philosophy, and i don't believe it to be. my apologies if anyone took this blog the wrong way. these are simply musings.

six days at the
bottom of the ocean
"the sky remains the same as ever"
i guess that no matter what way you look at it, we're all going through the same things. none of us are special. my blogs are becoming redundant, but i feel like they're all important. whatever, maybe i'll feel something more profound tomorrow.

are you
there?
i dedicate this blog to the band mono (japan).
god will close all of the doors and the universe will collapse in on itself like a home set ablaze. life will never completely make itself clear and we see the same days over and over again. no one can reverse the complexities of what is real. i hope that one day everyone can just rest their eyes and forget that any of this ever happened. i will never say who has hurt me the most, but i find that in the end, i'll just exhale and ask
did it ever matter anyways?
life is unforgiving and unpredictable. sleep easy and well. make the best out of this glorious miracle.

you used to be alright
what happened?
i play in a band called la vérité and i love it dearly. be a kind fellow and check us out.
http://myspace.com/laveritemusic
welcome to two thousand and nine. i'm going to kent tomorrow to look at houses with rharri. i've found that i have so much free time that... well... that it's really brilliant, but when it comes down to it, i tend to wallow. but, not only do i physically wallow,but i also wallow mentally. my thoughts drift in and out of importance and relevance to my real life, outside of this wishy-washy bullshit mental state i find myself in. this is a dangerous place to be, i am lackadaisically wandering through my thoughts. i don't know, this shit is weird. hopefully it will end to some extent when i go back to college in a few weeks.
take care.
