The Postal Service - Suddenly Everthing Has Changed

"Is this what you wanted?"

I haven't updated in a long time, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Either I'm keeping myself busy enough to not have enough time to repeat my daily actions in words, or I find it almost pathetic that people spend that much time to do so (I'm one to talk; I used to). My summer has consisted of work, music, and Madeline. I've either been working my days away in silence; earning money for no other reason than to have it - or I've been spending my time playing Estrella, writing new songs and forgetting old ones. And finally, when I'm doing neither, which is actually a lot of the time - I'm with Madeline. We've not been able to do a lot together lately because of her and I working, but when we do spend time together - It's amazing. I spent seventeen or so hours with her one day...and it could best be described as living.

I was working on something for two days, but then I finished. I would describe this adventure, but it's a secret. More of a suprise actually. It's hoped to suprise a good number of people, and also mean a lot to them. I hope it will suprise them each differently. This suprise keeps being delayed, but I think it will be worth it in the end. You'll all know who you are when that time comes.

I've been listening to a lot of music lately. Some new, some old. A lot of The Postal Service, Bright Eyes, and the new album from Iron & Wine - "Our Endless Numbered Days". The album is cleaned up version of what he's been doing for the last two albums, and isn't any lesser than them because of it. Actually, his Nick Drake-like guitar playing and folk-like vocals continue to entrace even more with each song that progresses through my ears. I highly reccomend the album - it's perfect to steal away from the living of normal days and imagine yourself in something even more perfect than a lucid dream...more amazing. And I continue to reccomend Idiot Pilot's "Strange We Should Meet Here" - which should be re-released on Reprise Records in the next month or so - so look for it in stores everywhere...damn talented kids.

The line between music and work is beginning to blur. I kind of like that. Laconic will be going into the studio very soon to record the album, and "Lackluster" will be released online at our PureVolume site as soon as it recorded. The web site is almost done, and we should have a show coming up. Borderline Angelic will also have some shows coming up, as well as three songs on an upcoming tribute album for Dashboard Confessional - playing two covers and one original. We will be covering "Ender Will Save Us All" and "The Good Fight" - they will be available for download very soon as well.

Until then, it's up to you.
