Jordan Daniel

Whether Jordan is writing acoustically under moniker Borderline Angelic, scratching out club beats with experimental project Electric Dreams Fantasy Boy, exploring 8-bit sounds and field recording with the electronic Pareidolia, or even playing homage to David Byrne and early ska in Captain Sizzle At The CBGB - the founder of Sudden Epidemic and the "voice" of Jane Lane plays music wherever he goes.

When not dancing the tango with lady Music herself, Jordan enjoys croquet, Regina Spektor, cooking, The Dark Knight, Magic: The Gathering, composition notebooks, horror movies, Terry Gilliam, concerts, quidditch, Blue Indigo, Mel Brooks, Richard Linklater, Photoshop, the internet, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, milk, Stanley Kubrick, new wave, Moog, the color pink, and the number 136.

I've Been Happy Lately...

Well, today has been a very good day. I didn't have any work today, which makes everything better one way or another. Doing the same thing over and over again (even though your getting paid for it) gets very old, very fast. I barely have the time to do anything but work. I had to get off work on Saturday (which can be a pain depending on if my boss cooperates) to go to Brett's. I feel like my time is sucked away. I have work tommorrow from 2:00-9:00, but oh well. I'll deal with it. I sat around for the first half of the day - playing Estrella and Jennifer - writing and sleeping. It was beautiful to be lazy. I met Madeline at her work, and we walked back to my house from there. We hung out for awhile, but then she had to go to a lesson, so here I am.

The suprise is almost complete. I'm ecstatic about it. It will be complete on Saturday, just in time for Brett's party. This is a very good thing...I can barely wait. I hope it affects everyone just as much as it does me. It really means a lot to me, and I hope other people understand like I wish them to. We shall see.

Borderline Angelic has been doing a lot lately, which is really great. There are a couple of shows coming up, and I will also be participating in the third-annual Acoustic Live competition. I'm very excited about that. Laconic just recently started planning to record the first album, and will probably have the first single - "Lackluster" - released on our PureVolume site and on our new web site as well as soon as it is done. The album is definitely going to take a lot of work, time, and money away from me, but it will all definitely be worth it. I don't know if it will be ready by early autumn, but hopefully. It's going to be a lot of fun working with Cragin again, and Kyle seems pretty excited about it as well. We're going to practice on Sunday with click tracks to make sure our time-keeping is good. The moment of truth, Kyle.

So, music, music, music. That's pretty much my life right now. I'm not considering work as a part of my life. Music is pretty much it. Listening to it and creating it. That and Madeline - who is just as wonderful as ever. By the way, any one who has ever come and visited me (especially Madeline, Mikey, Irina, Angela, and Janelle) at work - I thank you. It keeps me sane.

    I can't wait to hear the new stuff, and I'm glad you changed the layout. The old one was good, but a bit depressing! Enjoy your work! At least you're making money (unlike me).
