Whoaaaa Backlog.


So... It's been a while. HI!

This is what happened: A friend told me, well, he told me didn't like what I wrote. We'll let it be that. Here is how I felt: Stupid. So I stopped writing. Here is what that was: Stupid. Then I read Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. And I forgot all about my my friend's superiority complex.

This is what it felt like:

I remembered that crazy is awesome. Awesome and crazy are two terms that can sometimes be opposite. The former describing a moment of awe, an impressive and somewhat unimaginable event. The latter usually indicates a negative and uncontrolled aspect of a person or thing. These terms are meant to put people in boxes in which they have either put themselves or someone else has done for them. Vonnegut reminded me that I hate boxes. And also, that sometimes your opinion sucks. I'd like to pay reckless disregard to any opinions of anyone who doesn't think, well, anyone who doesn't think he's any good, and so on. This is an Ode to Vonnegut. An ode is a dedication usually expressed in the form of medias like song, poety, acting, singing, or mixtapes. Definitely mixtapes. It is meant to put someone on a box, instead of in one. Here is one to Kurt Vonnegut.

This is what it sounds like:

  1. Rain Machine - Give Blood
  2. Surfer Blood- Swim to reach the end
  3. Islands - Vapours
  4. Karen O & The Kids - Rumpus
  5. United State of Electronic - Open your eyes
  6. Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension
  7. Coco Rosie - Werewolf
  8. RJD2 - All for You
  9. Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel
  10. Codes in the Clouds - Fractures
  11. Yeasayer - Ambling Amp
  12. Kings of Convenience - Boat Behind
  13. Kurt Vile - Blackberry Song
  14. The Cave Singers - Hens of the Woods
  15. Broken Social Scene - Hit the Wall
Cheers,
Merman
