Les Tantrums (the song)

As many of you may or may not know, I've had a writer's block that's lasted from early 2009 until just recently. On Friday I had a song idea and didn't hesitate to run with it. Today I recorded it. My mic is out on loan right now, so the recording is a little rough... but I hope you can enjoy it and appreciate it anyway. Percussion was simulated by way of wooden stairs and a bicycle helmet.


Les Tantrums

Every Good Thing

All of my wool sweaters always seem to mysteriously turn into belly shirts. Somehow I think this not to be merely a coincidence.

Les Tantrums

This week brought me Tom Lauber, Realism, The Smiths, procrastination, weariness, and the line "I'd like to not like you".

Out of My Mind

Apparently I still have a soft spot for cowboy songs. This one has been on repeat.

One of my New Year's Resolutions has been to be less lazy in my music listening. By this I mean making an actual effort to sit down and listen to music rather than just having it as background noise and listening to entire albums instead of only one or two songs that I like. I've also made a pact with myself to buy CDs rather than downloading off of iTunes. So far in the past couple of weeks I have purchased, in CD form, "Built My Fortress" by The Foxglove Hunt and "Face Your Fun" & "Pacifico" by The Lassie Foundation. Obviously, I have sporadically bought CDs in the past, but it's the straight and narrow from here on out. And since my iPod quit working last week, I will only be listening to mix tapes in the car.



I suppose it's time to try something different from what I've been doing.

As always, more resolutions when they come.

Things are looking up.

I would like to formally apologize for the plethora of emo posts. It was a bad month. I'll try not to let it happen again.



I had a dream a couple of nights ago where a friend and I were zooming over the ocean in giant swings that were connected to the clouds. It was slightly scary. Then last night I had a dream where I fell in love, it was very scary. I wonder what I'll dream tonight... I hope I dream up some motivation to work on pointless English class assignments.
