to avoid the hype of The Big Bang Theory. Now I need your nerdiness to engage and suggest other shows I should check out, like 30 Rock (which I hope when Davina's life calms down, she'll send to me on the 8gb memory usb ;) ) or something worth checking out. TV must have some good bits, right? |

My first trip to the US, 9 years ago (August 2000), I ended up staying on Manchester Road, driving around in a Cavalier. The Manchester Road was in California, not Manchester, UK and the Cavalier was a Chevrolet, not a Vauxhall, but this American parody of British roads and vehicle names amused me to the point that occassionally, when listening to NSync, who had just made a deal with McDonalds to give away sound bytes (a small cube memory card with headphones that played the chorus of Its Gonna Be Me), and voucher-to-CD previews (half Britney, half NSync and featured This I Promise You and some other songs), I remember the trip in its entirety. I apologise for the long run on sentence. The white Chevrolet Cavalier convertible wasn’t particularly special but it had space, and that let me move about with ease. The seats would warm up to uncomfortable temperatures when parked out of shade, as they were for some unGodly reason, leather. The worst example of this is after my dad and I (for it was just us this time) had parked in Palm Springs to explore. Palm Springs is HELL in August. It was over 100 degrees in the shade. I’m not sure if you can comprehend that but suffice to say that sprinklers were spraying water at the floor, which would evaporate before it hit leaving the air a slightly more moist and tiny degree cooler than it had been seconds before. We returned to the vehicle we’d parked less than half an hour before, and as we casually got back into the vehicle and sat down, I yelped as my arm stung like a bee and turned bright red. I’m not sure how we managed to actually sit on these lethal furnaces that had replaced automobile comfort, but we left and explored further. This white Chevvy took us all the way to the Grand Canyon, which is 2000% worth the visit, regardless of what The Age of Rockets said on YouTube. The view is stunning and breathtaking. The distance is remarkable, but by God those metal railings should come with fourty thousand warnings. I walked toward a railing to scare the life out of myself - a phobia of heights and one of the biggest drops I could imagine looking at. As I stood on this barrier and looked THREE THOUSAND FEET DOWN, I noticed that the metal railing only went half a meter into the crumbling station of rock I was standing on. So a half meter of security before a three thousand foot drop… Good thinking. We left and explored much of the US. We visited San Diego’s Sea World (which I later revisted with Jeanne, Casey and Ryan for my 21st birthday). I got equally sunburnt, splashed by Shamu and had amazing tacos that made me fall in love with Mexican. I enjoyed the heat but San D wasn’t my home and we drove elsewhere. We traced a long way north, even visiting San Fransisco and taking the tram around the hills, driving down that one mental super steep spot, and majorly freaking ourselves out at the angle you approach the junctions - you just can’t see over them. We ate fresh fish at the docks, and we watched the news as a high speed chase sped a vehicle over a slight incline so that the car launched into a familiar looking building’s shop front. We looked out the window and there it was - stuck in the hotel opposite ours. We drove and drove for two weeks and saw so much. We went through many forests, country lanes, coastal paths and all in all, I think it was one of the best experiences of my life. When people ask my why I like NSync, this is one reason I will give, because listening to No Strings Attached puts me back there immediately. |

Regret, I have no time for you. Imagine if you will, the most wonderful trip, the greatest new friends and some brilliant, fun, new experiences. Now try to imagine the object or idea that tries to taint that. It could be a person along the way, it could be the question "Is that all?" or "When do you think you'll next have that much fun?". It could be the bank balance, or the phone bill, the delays or the return flight, or drive. There are many things it 'could be', and they're all very quick reality checks that remind you that the world isn't as nice and comfortable as the one you'd lived in for that break, that tour, that honeymoon between you and an experience. Last weekend, I was struggling with the realisation that my phone provider had slammed me with a heavy phone bill (500 GBP) for 'data download' when I had specifically set up a filter to make such an experience considerably cheaper. Not only did they not fulfil their part of the agreement, but they accused me of agreeing to a less than adequate, extortionate rate of charges. My phone-related bill was exceptional - 35 GBP. Text messaging was marginally cheaper, but data at 499.95GBP for ONE WEEK of data (as I have free data per contract in the UK) plus a 35 GBP service charge to set up the special filter. The thing is, I was mainly angry with myself. I looked at things I'd done as wastes, as the experience as more costly financially than emotionally and started listing negative reasons. I started to beat myself up and worst of all, I underwrote my experience and began looking to my conversations to see any sign of contempt or disdain, dislike or refrain from engaging in chats. I started listing flaws and reasons people might not have met up with me and basically doing the thing you shouldn't do after a trip - a self review when vulnerable. As I sat gob smacked by the end figure of the telephone bill, Adam Christgau's subtle yet wise words returned to me, as simple as the alphabet and yet as comforting as a cuddle from your best friends. "Sometimes people are just busy." Sometimes, people are busy. They have their own lives, they can't drop everything just because an egocentric Brit last-minute flew into the their city and started taking names and hearts, and certainly they can't start blowing off previous plans for my half arsed "lets just eat a slice by the corner". The people I'd spoken to hadn't regarded me as an inferior, had all been respectful and if conversations were short, more often than not that was my own fault for not talking outside of 'business' sense. People are people and I need to talk to them as people not about things that don't really matter, like record sales or song progression. "Good performance, loved your voice" should be it. Anyway, I began talking to friends about the bill, and I'm slowly putting together a letter for the phone company along with facts and figures, references and legal bits. I relaxed myself that Friday by listening to Allison Weiss and the Way She Likes It (six song EP) on repeat for three hours. THREE HOURS. My mum was singing along to it afterwards and even now I can hear her somewhere in the office singing "I'm ready if you're ready, na na na nana ready" - that's about as much as she'll ever learn from any song, even those she loves with her all... she's not a lyrics girl. I looked over my trip, looked at the photos and the new people I met along the way, the new shows, the ukulele festival, the drinks, the tales of woe and Dan Romer as a young musician, the school stories, the drunken experiences, Thai food in Brooklyn, hearing some beautiful voices and spending so much time with Cynthia and I thought "What have I really got to regret? A lesson learned about mobile internet? Perhaps. Certainly nothing that happened in America itself was bad. It was freedom. It reminded me of how much I NEED to write music, record and the kind of person I wish to be when I have any ounce of fame, and at any stage of my life. Regret, you and I have no time for one another. Leave me be. |

Frustration: When writing out a long review or an entry for LJ/Tumblr, and I forget to save and walk out of the room, only to return and see a restarted PC. Given that AutoUpdates are asked to /not/ take place, I can only assume a minor power cut/surge or something of that nature. FML. |

When I first started blogging, I didn't want my friends to know about it. I wanted it to be my own private haven where I could meet new people and be free of their judgement. Ironically, the more people I meet who I met through the internet, the less readers I end up with. Do I repel you guys? Is my writing/updates/life that bad and boring? |
| May 13th, 2009, 03:03pm i like you a lot, but i think its worse than that
I mention the song too often. You see it posted too regularly without maybe even thinking it's that interesting/good, but Amber Rubarth - You Will Love This Song hurts and hangs so heavy on my heart. Every time I listen to it, my entire being aches, I find myself subdued, sighing heavy with a glimpse of a tear coming to my eye. Maybe I misunderstand the song, and I know 2009's a bit late to catch onto a 2007 masterpiece, but my classics will last an entirety, and in many cases evoke the same emotion, same moment and exact location of an event EVERY time. There isn't a part of this song that I dislike, and yet I cannot quote its entirety. Certain lines really stay with you and others really just cut. "So now I'm the fool up on stage at the magic show, searching the deck for my card while everybody laughs because they know that its in plain sight to see, yeah its stuck on your forehead, but I can't think you're mean because I volunteered to be misled" ... I ... I just ache. ( You Will Love This Song lyrics ) http://jonmtm.tumblr.com/post/92648 I'm done in. Even the people who never frown eventually break down. |
| May 13th, 2009, 09:01am just a blog i liked from holly brook - myspace.com/hollybrook
Monday, May 11, 2009 my hellish week... well...I learned something today...I am not super-human. this trip to new york has been soooooo stressful. it started off with a 24 hour travel day, which consisted of 2 flights that were both delayed several hours, then a cab from the airport to Port Authority, then a 2 hour bus to Kingston, then an hour car ride to Michael Tudor's house...the engineer/mixer for my record. Luckily the environment of upstate NY allowed me to relax just enough to prepare for the days ahead. We mixed my song, "It's Raining Again," then I got on the bus back to the city, onto the metro, and down to Soho where I would be staying for a few days. I spent all of Thursday evening and Friday running around town in search of the outfit for the video shoot. I had a very clear image of what I wanted in my head. Many hours and dollars later, it all came together. I got a facial to clear my skin, I got a manicure so my nails would be all pretty, and I bought a box of hair dye to brighten up my red. At some point in the early evening, I got a call. It was my manager. For reasons out of our control, we were going to have to cancel the shoot for Saturday and HOPEFULLY reschedule it for the following weekend. I flipped out. Not only had I spent much of my own money and time on the video already, but my muscle memory sent me into a spiral because this was the SECOND time a video had been cancelled the DAY before the shoot. In 2006, I was supposed to make a video for the song we had chosen to be the single off of my record. Everything was planned and ready. The day before the shoot, Brad Delson called it off because he decided he didn't like the treatment. The video was to be rescheduled. But of course, it never was, because timing is everything. By the time we had figured out a more agreeable plan for the video, Warner no longer wanted to fund it because "Where'd You Go" was falling off the charts, and I had missed the window. So, my muscle memory told me that the same thing would happen...that "we'll reschedule for next week" meant "it's not gonna happen." I almost bought a bottle of wine and fell off the wagon. ALMOST. But then, I heard there was a chance we'd still be able to do the video...so i couldn't do that. But I had so much anger to release. And so, I went for a run. I ran across the George Washington bridge. But I am by no means an in-shape runner. Halfway across the bridge, I wanted to turn around. But i talked myself out of it. I can't give up so easily. At LEAST run till you're over land on the other side. When I reached land, I almost turned around again. But then I thought, NO. i'm SO close. Just like the video. I was SO close to getting my video made. I can't give up. I have to take it all the way. And with pain, I ran all the way until the railing stopped and there was a patch of green grass. A patch of green grass in the middle of an industrial world. It was the most beautiful grass i'd ever seen. I stood there, looked at the clover, looked at the clouds, and said to myself, "so this is what it feels like to hang in there through the pain and make it all the way." And with a new outlook, I ran back to Soho to find out that the video was BACK ON!!! I dyed my hair, took a shower, and put together my bag for the next day. The thing is, most people hire stylists, make up artists, and hair people for video shoots. For one thing, I'm generally not a huge fan of the way those people make me look, and the other thing is that its so expensive. However, taking all of that on is a big effort and added stress. So I was thankful to have my friend Caitlin standing by to make me tea and run to the store for hairspray and various other things. Once the hair and makeup and outfit were put together, the actual shooting of the video went very smoothly. Leopoldo Gout and his team at Curious Pictures are such pros. We were done by 5pm. I celebrated with a glass of champagne (i deserved it!) and a nice lonely wander around the city. It helps me relax. Sunday, I finally started to feel the muscles in my shoulders loosen and spent the day catching up on stuff, had tea with my friend Louis, and then, no joke, fell asleep at 8:30pm. Thats how exhausted I was!! I am a night owl generally. Because of all the stuff going on in my brain, I made a mistake. I got the date wrong. I started heading up to Upstate NY to mix, only to find out I'm not supposed to be there till tomorrow. GRRRR!!! I was already on the bus!!! I got off at some random stop in Jersey and headed back to the city. All together, it was 3 hours and $40 wasted. I'm not super human. I can't do all of this on my own. One day, I'll be able to afford an assistant to help run me around when I have busy work trips like this. Someone to keep me in check. But for tonight, I plan on renting a movie, and chilling out. This mortal human needs rest. Holly |

waking early at seven thirty a -m with a friend trying to avoid BA their delays made me move on to Virgin if you asked those I knew they'd give a different version told the friend about a club way up in the sky where people either have sex, drink, pee or cry he said he heard a rumour that when you die you pass the mile high club and give them high fives i said high... as in waving hi goodbye? he didn't know what i meant, but said that if I try to make sure i don't enter too many times too many fines to pay for too many lives and too many kinds of ways that too many lives can be brought about, i can't afford tutoring five, so i opted for another route worth a mention, see it stops the s t ds and eases the tension, now breathe... for the baby prevention, i use shotguns and pistols keeps the ladies attention and protection from piss pools first in and first out, quicker than car pooling i'm so cool up here a mile high alright so really whenever i travel i like to watch the movies, sit playing scrabble and see how many words i can find and then circle hope to see a kid choke on a nut and turn purple i'll flick through whatever's on to up the karma from thirty rock to flirty cop rom com dramas pop some parma-san on my lunch, served either with wine, vodka, beer, coke or rum and poke a tongue out at the cutest girl visible receive a middle finger, feel so miniscule munch on the dinner, deliver the tray back and sit contemplating my method of payback for the baby prevention, i use shotguns and pistols keeps the ladies attention and protection from piss pools first in and first out, quicker than car pooling i'm so cool up here a mile high |

Gears 2 Team Takes Action Against Cheaters The Gears of War 2 team continues to look for ways to improve the game and enrich the experience for our players. Sometimes this takes the form of a new feature, such as the recently released experience and leveling system, and other times it means action against those who try to compromise our game. To that end, starting this week, we will begin taking steps against players verified as cheaters. These players have not only violated the spirit of the game, but they have also violated the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use. This week, the Gears 2 team will take these initial steps with a number of player accounts that belong to verified cheaters: * The player’s gamerscore will be reset to zero. * The player will be unable to earn or recover gamerscore from any previous games—all games, not just Gears 2. * The account involved will be branded on Xbox LIVE as belonging to a cheater. This information will be reflected in the gamer profile, both on Xbox.com and in the Xbox Dashboard on the console. We believe that our players deserve a level playing field. The Gears of War team is committed to providing the best multiplayer experience on Xbox LIVE. To learn more about the LIVE policy on gamerscore corrections, please read the FAQ on Xbox.com, or read Major Nelson’s message here. Source: here. |

I saw Ingrid Michaelson and Allie Moss yesterday. David Ford was there. I got a chance to talk to the three of them. It was good. Today, I awoke in the best of moods even though I did not sleep too much last night. This evening I will see Jukebox The Ghost for the third (of four) time, and at their last UK show for quite a while. It's at the Monto Water Rats, which is one of my favourite small venues in London, and they are opening for Nightmare of You, who are amazing. ( some photos )  1) I have an Allie Moss album, signed, in my hand :D 2) I was sweating balls in the venue 3) Allie Moss is wonderful 4) Yes, that’s a Bess Rogers shirt and also one of the most comfortable shirts I have ever worn.

Well its official, four days either side of my birthday, I will be swinging into the non-Banana to spend some much needed time with my much loved friends and I’d like to see YOU whilst I’m there. I will be doing some sort of celebratory thing, either going to @amandaduncan ‘s EP release or a bar, a Jenny Owen Youngs (@jennyowenyoungs) [featuring @bessrogers @chriskuffner @elliotjacobson and dan romer] show and mainly just loving the city as I so often like to do. I hope to be joined by some friends, and I hope to make some new ones. I have one snag to this wonderful plan though - where to stay. I was hoping to crash with my friend Khalid like last time, but the lucky guy is going on a cruise around the Bahamas and that actually really pleases me - he’s not been away for a while and he and Q will have a wicked time. So if you’re in New York, have couch space for one/two people and the patience to put up with someone who disappears during the night to explore, takes too many photos and drinks way too much tea, please let me know even if its only for a night or so. ——————- Unrelated to this, I will be seeing Ingrid Michaelson (@ingridmusic) and Allie Moss (@alliemoss) tonight and Jukebox The Ghost (@jukeboxtheghost) and Nightmare Of You (@nightmareofyou) tomorrow, and I am therefore fevently excited. Love to you all. |

Following from one of Davina's posts, I'd like to point out that I don't read LJ that often. I am on Tumblr and Twitter a lot more often than I am here. I haven't read that many entries and I haven't felt that compelled to write about my life, at least not over here. I give people daily updates via FaceSpace and I have links on my LJ homepage to all forms of contacting me, so its not like I'm avoiding you guys at all, its just that people I read about migrated, and so I follow where the birds flew. I joined Twitter October 1st. I joined Tumblr August the 9th. I have not posted much in LJ since, which is strange as I had somewhat of an audience of friends and those interested in what I had to say, and turned my back on you all for a prettier interface. I don't even use LJ's interface, so this shouldn't have affected me but it did. Sorry. Anyway, here's a collection of Jon-things from the last few weeks.  because sometimes being a conscious idiot at work beats being unaware of that stupidity.  Being so close to a river, gnats like these are seen along its banks. This is a huge swarm and a mild irritation but they fly with insane precision. Friendship In response to my tweet: “Jon Barker is more connected to book characters than real people, because usually real people lack the depth and time to become known” the following: @carmenego - Yes that’s an excellent justification for lack of social skills… I might steal that off you! :-) To you I say this - don’t you find being around people that they tend to want to only live in that moment - the next drink, the next joke, never on what has factored into who they are - the good and the bad. There doesn’t tend to be as much depth with friendship as you grow older, or at least in my recent experience I have a small number of depth-based friendships and then a large amount of people I could go drinking with, attend a live show or even to the extent of working with/staying with/dating but nothing substantial. @amyserrata - ha not always I know many peeps who are working hard to be successful life is not about becoming known. it’s about working hard doing what you live and playing all out in life I surround myself with people like that it motivates me I would say that I disagree with you here. You work hard so people will know your music. Working hard to be successful - why? So you can be known. So you can generate money. So you can exist in a place where your name is on the tip of people’s tongues. Where privacy perhaps resides next door to irony and where money precedes pretense. I’d rather people knew who I was, what I was about and such, than a lot of people knew of me but didn’t know what I was about or didn’t understand what I was about and assumed incorrectly. Good heart and good nature could be misunderstood as excited naivety. Polite manners and patience for weakness and easy to manipulate. A love shared for an obsessive nature. I’d rather people knew and understood, than guessed and despised. ------- Lauren Zettler: Lauren In LA, LIVE (At Hotel Cafe:CLICK)I love to play along to the music on my iPod whilst at work. This is such a release. My mind stops any worrying, any concern and focuses on following where their chords, single notes and use of awesomeness are placed. I become placed inside an almost fantasy of accompanying they who rock. P.S. in my typical legendary fashion, I have found that when I do not have a plectrum on my persons, I am able to use a British 2 Pound coin as an alternative. |

Jason Mraz is amazing live. I wish I had more to say but I believe that is all that matters right now. The show was great, he didn't miss a note and his voice and vocal range is astounding. Brilliant gig. |

 Sister, Brother in Law, Nephew (3), Nieces (7 and 5) Someone should have a happy birthday. Nephew wrote his name for the first time, and without help. Back to front S I assume is graffiti. Revenants [james rampton]Imagine Queens of The Stone Age explaining social disorder to Pink Floyd in Basement Jax’s attic, whilst Thom Yorke runs an exercise program for the blind. Think subtle jazz ballroom piano with Trent Reznor sabotaging the mics. Featuring guest vocals from the Golden Elf, Jasmin Searles and Matt Searles complimenting the variety of genres spanning the course of the album, Revenants mixes dancy grunge rock, industrial folk rage and post-apocalyptic cola-crisis bass into something beautiful if not staticly charged. 17 quality produced tracks, carefully placed samples and wicked drum beats. From the very opening crisp piano that leads into Fallbetween, straight through to The Lonely Spectre, this is consistantly awesome and shows great promise and drive. The guitar solo in the middle of Revelations is very Homme-esque… The drop in Fallbetween is almost something from a trance song by Tiesto or Naoki. Grab a beer or fourty, crank it up and listen on decent speakers dear god. The amount hidden and overlaid will have you returning for years, noticing something new everytime. “I see the light the other end, and leave this world without a friend except you. We are ghosts together. We are lost forever” The album is available for free from JamesRampton.com. Follow James at http://twitter.com/jamesrampton |

I love my new camera, and taking walks. I took some good shots today, I think. Natural light is beautiful and so much better to shoot in... Fuck a flash, yo.  Think I’m getting the hang of this ukulele thing  Lying on the grass, letting the day go by  Sernipal was falling, rising to meet us.  (via gatekeeper) This is especially brilliant because of the contrast. Concrete jungle versus natural habitat. Flee from its horrors, birdy. Jamie and Jon from Jon Barker on Vimeo. We’re undefeated like a veteran army And we’re as heavy as an elephant aren’t we — lupe fiasco, go baby  Time to go campaigning guiz  @madmillsey ‘s not much fun to hang out with. he’s too fuckin serious  @JamesRampton’s sex face  Finally flowers that we planted are growing… we haven’t got much luck with gardening.  I’m getting hairy again. |

I never made a lot of me, but what I had I gave I never had monopoly on feelings that I'd saved I've been around this square so many times I just don't know If staying here at Mayfair's safer than chancing to Go. I passed, I picked up and I left And you traded away all the rest Might not seem like much but this I hope you know I'll take a chance and reap just what I sow Been travelling forever in the same small circles set A plane flight here and train ride there, to and from regret Experience gave me something my opinion hadn't met My mind is far more open even when my ways are set I passed, I picked up and I left And you traded away all the rest Might not seem like much but this I hope you know I'll take a chance and reap just what I sow And so I sadly sit here now, my legs hang from the bed They say romance is real with halitosis for its breath You overlook the little things for love, and take each step A hand to hand combat of will, a photographic net A memory, a century, a decade or an hour Every inch is there for you to use or to devour You throw away my traces like recycled waste and I'll Just be waiting here for you, down that long aisle. I passed, I picked up and I left And you traded away all the rest Might not seem like much but this I hope you know I'll take a chance and reap just what I sow |

Last night I hung out with some people who reminded me of some people. It was pretty fun. It felt almost like I would be hanging out with them. I realised I'd probably be quite shy around ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} whitemansburden to begin with, that Emma B is miles away and that the storm trooper hoody in UV lights looks siiiiiiiick. I also learned I need to take spare batteries everywhere.I love my friends and we had a fun time. It was a different friend circle - Laura, Helen, Lara, Ashleigh, Jon, Anthony - but who can say that they have so many friend circles they can square dance with. Making a whole room go from standing still to bouncing and dancing like motherfuckers = my skill. Find the right beat to start me on and I'll get you all going. We did. It was sick. Venue was on point. Jon and Jack fucking tore it up. They had two signed acts, maybe three, opening for them and all of them were like :O OH SHIT :O at the performance. It was filmed by some peeps ... not sure who. SiCK |

Is it rude to feel this way about friendship You and me both make music, just yours is offensive To the ears, to your peers, better off pensive Or reading what you’ve written with the pen tip before sending it Think it through, record your thoughts better, or pretend it Is something that you care about, otherwise just end it. |

Spent the weekend away with friends eating fish, kicking balls, being awesome, jumping in pools, riding chutes, shooting hoops, ruling at arcade games, playing guitar, singing and taking photos. Walked along beaches, through towns, laughed at ridiculous names of things, posed a lot, looked like a hobo, bought a storm trooper hoody, played minigolf and saw a stormtrooper costume, won a game of ten pin bowling by a clear 60 points, lost another game by 10 points, listened to a load of Lauren Z, A.W., Chingy, Rhianna and other assortments of music. Probably heard more Michael Jackson than I have in the last four years combined. Loved some songs, envied the guitar work on others. I photoupdated Tumblr in places but the captions all disappeared. I drank a lot of malibu and cider. I drank even more tea. I had toast, too many portions of chips and not enough exercise to counter it. Nick had a birthday, I saw adults being entertained by people dressed up as tigers and I busked for sandwiches. (here) |

Lauren Zettler - Shape (live in a bathroom) I like MP3s as much as the next person - its space saving, its quick to transfer and its not too hard to organise [right click, arrange by name!], but it won’t compare to sitting in the car on the way to some place, with the music soothing, and sudden chills as the quality of what you’re listening to suddenly hits you. I’m not going to say this is the best song on the album, it is currently my favourite on first listen alongside The Chain (which has given me chills three out of three listens today). The reason I won’t list it as favourite, is that every song on here calls for more listening. On Your Back Porch is great. My mum really loves the harmonies and guitar work, I enjoy the lyrics and how well mixed and polished it all sounds and see this as quite a sign of hope, as I see most indie releases. A sign that you needn’t go big-label to put out a CD, record or make it in any stage. This is just great. As for the YouTube video - please watch, please rate (and rate generously), and please check out more of her musics… Ellen would like you more for it and you know how cool Ellen is. She dances with Kanye. She’s that cool, if not, moreso. |
