first and foremost,
I am happy to announce that the new
Wolf Parade album is fucking great

while you can hear traces of both of the vocalist's major side projects (Krug's Sunset Rubdown & Boeckner's Handsome Furs, respectively), this is a fine return to form for the band as a whole. Boeckner has really come into his own as a songwriter and
Krug's keyboards shine. (I tend to be more of a Krug man, myself.)

also on the "I told you so" front, the Tom Waits cover album put out by, the ought to be executed, Scarlett Johansson is godawful. need proof? check out the video here:

and, trust me, it only gets worse from there.

Tom Waits is a musical force to be reckoned with. if you're thinking about doing a cover album of his songs - don't. but, if you really feel you must, perhaps you ougghtta make sure you possess some, oh, whaddaya call it? oh yeah, musical talent.

someone please ban ScarJo from music for life.
work it into the next draft of the patriot act or
something.

wrap up:

*get Wolf Parade's new album At Mount Zoomer IMMEDIATELY.

*muzzle Scarlett Johansson.

CO-CONSPIRATORS (SO FAR)

that's right, kids
the trailer for the new X-Files movie
has finally premiered and, seeing as how
X-Files is my favorite show ever,
I thought I'd share

[link]

it's just a teaser trailer
can't wait for the full length one

CO-CONSPIRATORS (SO FAR)

this one is a collection of poems and things from 06.06 dating back to 01.06

I changed the title from my faves to my picks
because I wouldn't exactly call them all favorites
they are, however, the ones I'd highlight for anyone
interested in checking out my older stuff

if you have a minute or twenty
please, feel free to take a look

also
thanks to jackie for getting
me to (finally!) watch lost
I'm constantly amazed
...the show is pretty good too.




as always
thanks to all of you for reading

CO-CONSPIRATORS (SO FAR)

I've made a number of changes to my gallery (with more to come)

first off, I am now featuring dear moon, I am your tide.
a collab with the uber-talented

check it out if you missed it the first time around

also,
if you browse my gallery you'll notice my collections are different.
I still have collections of my haikus, collabs, and non-poetry pieces
but 22 most favorited has been changed to, simply, most favorited.
these are my most favorited poems as of today and each of them
has been favorited at least 15 times (seemed like a respectable enough number).

what you may find the most interesting is that
there is now a category entitled "my faves 12.05 - 10.05"
this is a collection of my own favorites out of the dim, dark days
when I first started here on deviantart.
if it seems like there are bunch in there for such a short period of time,
it's because in my first 3 months here on da I submitted no less than 68 pieces.
I shuddered reading most of them but collected the ones that appealed to me
(for whatever reasons).

I plan on making collections of all my favorites, in 6 month increments, from 01.06 up to now.
I'll let you know when the next collection is up and running.
until then, enjoy (or scoff at) my favorites of my fledgling poetry.

oh!
and you may also be interested to know that, upon reviewing all these old fixer-uppers,
I noted that the poem in which I seem to have first adopted the style I'm still working
on today is called suggesting a circle and it was written 10/30/05.

my sincerest thanks,
as always,
for reading.

xo!
