The MotherFucking Revamp
Ok, I got myself an apartment in Dallas, so that's good. The blog's been retitled and rerouted since I'm tired of the old one. Now it's breakfast for dinner, and don't you forget it.

This guy is amazing

This guy does a painting a day, and they're all awesome. He does with paints what I do with music, we're both all about creating new media using media as our influence. Wicked-awesome says I.

It's done...


Here it is, the new album, FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD. Two years in the making, so download it. If you know me, you know that I truly believe with all my heart that music should be free, so all mine is. The all new, super minimalist, text only moonmissiondeathsquad.org has all four of our records for free, so get on top of it.

In other news, the Oklahoma Gazette is running an article about us this week, so be sure to pick it up on Wednesday if you live here. I'll be scanning and posting it next week. It was written by notoriously bonkers local n'er-do-well Brian Mangeri, so god only knows what the hell it's going to say. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't make me sound like an asshole.

I am scum.

I am so unslack, that I want to die.

I have an interview this week so I had to buy a tie. I really don't want to look like a loser with a thrift store tie, so I went to target to buy some clothes. I spent 17.99 on this tie (it looks better in person), and I bought a new blue shirt and brown belt as well. It came out to $60+, which is the most I've ever, ever, ever spent on apparel. It made me physically woozy when I swiped my card at the check out. Megan said I was actually sweating.

I really hate that to support my slack lifestyle I have be a grown up and wear grown up clothes. My only other option I guess is selling weed, and that would make me an even bigger loser than I already am. It would make me a hippie. In short, it would make me Jake Bone.

Hey, Buy My CDs!

Well, well, well. I finally did it. I'm selling 75% of my cds on that "ebay". Buy them from me, I need the money. If someone I know buys them, I'll throw in a free gift of my choosing. 400+ cds, bitches, believe it.

Have you ever listened to this album?


I'd never actually listened to Bookends before, but on my way home from work last night I pulled it up on the mp3 player. I was shocked. Truly shocked.

I'd heard a lot of these songs before, but as singles and out the context of the record. "Save the life of my Child" is just amazing. The synth part is so strange and juxtaposed to Paul and Artie's voices, it's almost as if you're listening to a S&G record on headphones while a Morton Subotnick record is playing in the room around you.

Having only heard "Hazy Shade of Winter" on car radios and in elevators, I was just destroyed by hearing it through headphones. The production and stereo separation are just wonderful, and make that shitty ass Bangles version sound like a turd in front of a microphone. (Speaking of the Bangles, did you hear that terrible new Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs albums where they do mediocre bar band versions of "groovy" sixties rock songs? Well, if you haven't, don't waste your time, because it fucking sucks.)

So you should listen to Bookends because I think it's fucking great. Much better than that piece of Sgt. Pepper's crap.

Foggy Mountain Desktop


Check out these awesome pictures I took in front of my house this week! They're foggy as fuck. I encourage you to use them as your desktop picture. If you do, email me and let me know. They're sort of spooky if you ask me.

(if you're a dummy and you can't figure out how to get such a small picture to be bigger, click on it and your browser will take you to the full res version)

Mayo Wars


West of the Rockies, Hellman's Mayo (the only mayonnaise that is suitable for eating) is known as Best Foods Mayo. Somehow, my Local Oklahoma Grocery Store (wal-mart) got a single squeeze bottle of the elusive Best Foods branded product. Of course, I bought it. It made me pretty happy, which I suppose is pretty fucking weird.

Vintage French Hiking Boots... I WANT 'EM!

Fucking check out these awesome Trappeur hiking boots on ebay. If these little bastards weren't two sizes to small, they'd be on my feet posthaste. I especially like the red laces.

If only my feet were smaller.

Where's my book daddy?

Some other bastard in central oklahoma STILL has Blood of Amber checked out, so I'm fucked for something to read. I am VERY upset. I've finshed the Ender books and I'm stuck for now with the Amber books, so I'm biting the big one, going totally geekoid, and starting Dune. I know, I said I'd never do it, but here I am doing it. I've come this far, there's no sense in turning back now. So think of me will you? Wallowing in my sandy soap opera about worms and Kyle MacLachlan.
