a shrimp shedding it's shell

three nightmares

been having some really upsetting dreams recently..

not long ago i dreamt that someone was systematically killing friends in my house. but doing so by sabotaging certain appliances. like the washing machine and other things were killing people in the house, but only people with whom i was really close.

then last night i dreamt that a friend of mine got married to an absolute shithead that she actually knows in real life. and with whom i often fear she is infatuated. and she and i grew apart because i absolutely could not accept their love, and he came down here unexpectedly for a surprise visit (because he doesn't live here) and i was distraught.

tonight was the first night that i actually woke up from the dream it was so bad.

there was a serial killer in the house. people were asleep in my bedroom. i was at the computer. for some reason someone was coming to our house who was out for blood. marina and maybe lauren, maybe bekah, were the only ones in the house not in my room. and i feel like they knew what was going on and retreated to marina's room but just decided to get high (maybe?) and keep having a good time, laughing. while they were still downstairs, i shoved my door shut in order to lock it (which was difficult in the dream) and had soothing music playing and tried my best to lie down in my bed with everyone else and lie completely still. even though i'd shoved my door closed i could somehow see thru a crack and could also hear him coming up the stairs. when he got to the door though i was staring at him trying so hard to not move at all so he wouldn't think anyone was in here. i realized while staring at him that it was phil elverum. which probably sounds funny when typed out right here, but it made things a lot more upsetting in the dream itself. a paragon of wisdom, of peace, of beauty was calmly standing at my doorstep standing still but for his heavy breathing and staring into my room directly at me as i tried not to move a muscle, to close my eyes.

when i woke up it didn't even feel like waking up. it just felt like opening my eyes after waiting for him to leave. i could only tell that i was, indeed, awake because when i opened my eyes they weren't fixed on my door.


it's really lame because i've been going to bed in a bad mood recently. but by the morning i usually feel better. so waking up, still feeling the effects of a nightmare kind of just perpetuates that bad mood.

artist of the fucking year

DickyDawkins

Richard Dawkins came yesterday to give a lecture at USC. I didn't get a chance to ask a question, but after thinking some, this is what I'd've like to've asked him:

I think you and I would both agree that evangelical fundamental religious faith is harmful to society in breeding intolerance and even hostility towards those who don't follow those same fundamental religious laws. Can you please tell me how your fundamental evangelical atheism is any less harmful to society in breeding intolerance and hostility towards those with any religious or spiritual faith?

any readers who didn't already know:

I've been elected to the position of WUSC's official Fall/Spring '09/'10 MUSIC DIRECTOR!!

along with John

we'll be sharing the duties.

the job comes with a bit of a history of one person doing a whole lot more than the other, but i am hoping that will NOT be the case with he and i. to celebrate the win, i grabbed 14 CD's from the music office yesterday and am in the process of reviewing them right now.

the best of bdp (this semester (so far))

i think after two fund raiser shows this year dedicated to folk music, each garnering no donations, i have concluded that people in columbia don't like hearing folk on the radio

well don't worry, there's plenty of remixed elctrnk indie pop and poptastic punk specialty shows dedicated to free format to go around these days

i'd already decided this before today, but i don't believe i'm doing another specialty show next semester

much more likely will be the return of what's cookin'

anyway~

this was my "best of" show playlist and i thought it was pretty damn bangar—

RIP! A Remix Manifesto

so this whole blog-0-theque culture of electroXcore indie p0p getting remixed the nth power has been trying my nerves, but this film is actually pretty inspired
i saw this while in montréal fo' free, and felt special, before realizing that it's available in its entirety online at: http://opensourcecinema.org/project/rip-remix-manifesto
well! maybe not completely in its entirety
because
it's actually been available there for a long while, since before the film's release, calling on digitally savvy children of the web2.0 to remix this stuff
some of the remixed segments were definitely included in the film's final release, but the film sans remix'd portions is all available there
i think you have to make a username&password to watch it, not sure
but it's free and quick and easy anyways
enlighten yaselves
copywrite drm shit culture extends beyond the world of music or even art
