lookin' back

heya


i'm still in berlin and have 2 weeks left here
things here seem kinda slow and rainy and cold, but

it's hecka rad

i'm really excited to come back in the summer and go to a ton of shows and drink coffees at the tables outside cafes
right now i'm just psyched to get back to school and hang out with my friends 'n' stuff though

2012 seems like it'll be pretty cool
i'll meet up again with Daniel and the rest of my buds from high school probably
i miss them a lot
2011 wasn't bad though
i feel like since i have "blogged about music" i'm supposed to do a best of list
that doesn't make sense to me though, there's still so much i haven't heard
i don't even feel able to do a favorites list, i'll just forget rad stuff
so i made two mixes
eleven songs each
jamz and then some chill jamz

listen to 'em here (if ya want):



JAMZ



CHILL OUT

cop 'em

bad boys II

Daniel said it,

we

are

back

i've been in portland since august/september and it's pretty rad
there's less rain and work than i thought but it's a good balance
the only real bummer i can think of is that most shows are 21+ but i saw dan deacon a few weeks ago and he was filled with good vibes
otherwise i've just seen shows hosted at my school which isn't bad at all
surfer blood, thee oh sees, das racist, total bros, weed, and hausu have all rocked it (along with a buncha other bands)
people dance at shows here, it's nice
as far as what i've been up to, i finished recording some songs back in august and daniel did some art for me
if ya check it out i will love you forever

i'm in the airport right now about to leave for berlin
