Long time no update. Nothing exciting to report, just working a fucking fuckload. I'm actually sitting here at the office after having spent about eight straight hours trying to letraset a whole tracklisting for a CD into place over some collaged backgrounds, the results were:
a) it looked like a really, really, REALLY FUCKING POOR QUALITY off of Adam Juresko from Stop It!!'s work.
b) it didn't work aesthetically or like, in terms of it being legible.
c) I fucked it up heaps
d) it sucked
so I threw eight hours of work into the shredder. Look I have to admit there's something inherently satisfying about such a little artistic temper tantrum, no matter how counter productive.
While we're talking about how I suck? Let's talk about mail, and how shitty I am with returning it. I owe people prints and mix CDs and I forget both every morning when I get to work, and usually go 'oh fuck it I'll take care of it next day' but then don't. This counsellor guy I speak to at uni seems to think this has something to do with the whole repetitive cycle nature of depression and stuff and the mind-numbing work routine that's like, a not-quite-existence state compared to when I'm out with friends and/or around music and they might be right. But I prefer to think I'm just a deadshit. Anyways like I said I was supposed to send someone a mix CD as part of a swap like...TWO MONTHS AGO OR SOMETHING. FUCK. It's actually completely slipped my mind. So, you know, I'll, uh, get on that, ASAP.
But while we're on the topic of mix CDs I decided to make one based off shit that's already uploaded onto my work computer for whatever reason. I've been listening to this a lot the last week or so, it's actually a kinda nice summer driving around mix. It's broken up into two parts.
