lauren made me do it:

it's the.. "List five songs that you are currently digging ... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to." game.

face it guys, i'm listening to the same damn records as always. except i'm listening to the jealous sound instead of knapsack for once. whatever, it's still blair shehan.

"abandon! abandon!" by the jealous sound.
"museums" by the rookie lot
"surgical focus" by guided by voices
"sunfeet (live)" by eisley
"gold in them hills" by ron sexsmith

i want to know what ______superporn, ____ohgolly, __juneau, __headrush and this_is_heaven are listening to, mostly because everyone else has already done it and i'd mostly just like to use this as an excuse to show everyone that nearly so many of my real life friends who have livejournals have three million underscores in their usernames and i don't understand why.

drawing stuff and making stuff all week. i guess i'll put up a decent website eventually.

look forward to a career in dance music

BS8 is awesome. my friends are pretty cool too, even the ones that drive like retards.
the greek monarchs waffle song is probably the one of the greatest things we have ever invented. look out for the feature film this holiday season.

monarchs. big ones.

in case you've never called me and had to leave a message, here is what you are missing out on.
it is a great example of why my band has more fun than you.

i have taken to sitting in starbucks with a coffee and drawing in my sketchbook. usually i go there with sophie so we just talk, but our classes and exam schedules clash a lot and i don't really have many friends in the city so i'm alone a lot. but starbucks gives me a chance to practice three of my favourite pastimes: drawing, drinking coffee (always grandes at least, talls are for wimps), and smiling at baristas.
also i like to listen to the french people talking. it makes me realise that a C in high school french is of little use in the real world. i speak starbucks better than i speak french. i like to order complicated drinks to keep the baristas on their toes (if you're not familiar with this, the trick is not to wait for them to ask what size or if you want it to go or want whipped cream, etc. you include everything your order, all in one sentence, and all in the same breath if possible.)

also, i keep having silent conversations with myself while drawing.
i see you're drawing an amusing illustration of a talking frappuchino cup asking to be refilled, whilst drinking your 2nd venti peppermint mocha and listening to your ipod
yes. the frappuchino is talking through its straw!
that's nice. and you're listening to death cab?
that is correct.
how cliche of you.
thanks.
do you know your hands are shaking?
yes i do.

i got another job designing another website, i plan to use the money to buy a live unicorn and possibly some shoes.

who wants to trade junk via mail? i know i do!
i am going to be sending letters, stickers, friendship bracelets, pin buttons, toys, random british stuff like jaffa cakes, and other assorted junk.
i am looking to get hold of MEAD black marbled composition books, american or japanese candy, anything relating to unicorns, other stickers.. you know. cool stuff.

"hmm, all i need to do in this part of the song is sustain this chord.. i guess i will look at the floor while i do so, and hope that everyone thinks i am just being cool and nonchalant while my head is actually exploding."

i was so sick at that show.

also.. i need to stop going to those self-diagnosis websites because i am only scaring myself.

on the up side i donated my spare cash to make poverty history, which felt good, AND got a nice wristband out of it. you guys should all go join even if you don't have the money to donate, cause it's a good cause.

saturday was free comic book day AND sophie and danny's party. i am still catching up on sleep from that one. good stuff. it involved vegan food (completely amazing vegan cake no less) and bisexuals playing spin the bottle. i stayed away from that one. danny wore a dress, i was a ninja (side note, since when do guys find girl ninjas attractive? this is a new one. i should be a ninja more often), sophie was from the 70s, a random girl was wearing a paper-mache duck on her head. still nobody knows what that was in the sink. a large group of teenagers and some french foreign exchange students tried to crash. this was more confusing than anything else.
also ben got more drunk than any of us had ever seen him and mimed to bon jovi. amazing stuff. party finished at 7am, so we just went for mcdonalds breakfast. home at 10am. sleep. recording at 7pm. ROCK and/or ROLL.

it's wednesday now but nothing else has happened. kind of a let down.
i keep forgetting to do any college work. summer is around the corner.

we're up for it..

2005-05-09T12:05:53Z

i scanned some stuff from my old notebooks.
http://lindsayhaynes.atspace.com

they are all doodles and writings that don't make sense.
i apologise in advance for them not being exactly... good.

yello.

2005-05-05T21:57:53Z

well i have voted.
tomorrow is my bestfriend's birthday. this room is full of cupcakes and birthday candles and candy and gifts.
i nearly bought a toy unicorn today for some reason.
what are you guys' feelings on the subject of unicorns?
and oh, your feelings on the election i guess.

you're my rushmore.

2005-05-01T23:32:37Z

it's wes anderson's birthday today.
i guess i just couldn't let the occasion pass without saying something.

i saw the life aquatic five times and kept all of the ticket stubs.

non political dance party.

2005-04-29T18:13:58Z

summer is coming and we are all still young.

i was just waiting for it to blow up.

2005-04-27T16:30:01Z

i was pretty out of it for a few days as you probably noticed.
i made the mistake of leaving the tv on while i was half asleep on the couch at about 4 am. i left spun on and one particular scene with jason schwartzman on a speed trip pretty much nearly gave me a seizure.

oh and i tried to get to class today only to find the entire college, the high school, the cathedral and @bristol all being evacuated. in torrential rain. surrounded by news crews. and police tape.

my hands smell like oranges.
my eyes have dark rings around them
there is a scalpel on the desk by this computer.

i should probably explain this but once this is all over my first priority is to buy a slushie, go see a horror movie and finish recording an EP.

i intend to consume the slushie after purchasing it, just to clear that up.

"your mother."

2005-04-09T14:06:10Z

you're probably asking, but i'm not sure we're telling.

except:
teenagers' cars + hydraulics + 4am = good
trampolines + drunk kids = good
acne pills + vodka = bad.

in any case, i have great friends.
even when they do throw up.

cookie crisp is pretty good.

2005-04-05T21:42:49Z

and so i find myself once again with little to do except work and eat cereal and take useless pictures.

and listen to death cab.

true story.

2005-03-31T03:39:43Z

we flooded out the basement once
boxes, blankets, water and salt
we sat there, on the downward stairs
(they don't go up, only down there)
and cried about the things we'd miss
(and all that's otherwise amiss)

for we would soon, we knew, grow up:
and while so much remained unseen
accepted interests, we had learned
did not include paper and string.

but on we kept, for years and years
at things we loved, without much fuss:
for growing up, we both assumed
would happen without work from us

and so for years, we stayed the same
and nothing stopped, and nothing changed
and we were proud, our chests puffed out
we beat them at their game, we'd shout.

but before the summer'd been and came,
you left me there to cry again
you took your life one summer's eve,
to leave me on my own, you see
i'll never understand it, no,
but neither am i angry, though,
without the strength of both of us
i sadly say, i did grow up

and though you never did, i somehow
hope that we are still the same,
and everyhing we said is somehow
true, though i have seen the days
pass by with such a speed that i must
wonder if i've grown too fast
i hope you'd, at the very least,
be proud of where i am, at last.

i never visited the house
we flooded out with salty tears
for fear that i would once again
fill it, not with dreams and fears
but sadness, as i do miss you
though i don't speak of it these days
for fear that it would make me weak
but i still think, and will always.

i often see new groups of kids
their summertime is barely here
but already i see them out
awaiting adulthood with fear

they've grown a bit, but for a while
they've slowed so they can run and smile,
and though you think they've had their fill
those kids grow up, and always will.

is the house still there?

2005-03-28T16:51:26Z

this is just my way of saying 'eventually i will put up a new website and do some stupid work and not be such a moron.' lies!

i know that the amityville horror is probably going to be lame and totally not scary, but i still plan to see it because i always loved that stupid story since i read about it when i was ten.

i have totally been intending to register to vote for the past two years and i still haven't. i don't even know when the cut-off is or where to get the application from. cause i'm stupid.

i plan this week to write a song and call it "no tv and no beer make homer something something". or re-name one of the songs i am working on to that. also to do design work, and school work. most likely, i will fail terribly.

i keep hearing people badmouth the new beck record but i kind of like what i have heard.

it is currently my ambition to write and direct a critically acclaimed but largely ignored feature film, which will ultimately go on to achieve cult success.

it should probably be my ambition to learn to express myself in full paragraphs rather than nonsensical fragments.

"i wrote a hit play!!!" - max fischer.

tired, and yourself?

2005-03-25T22:07:32Z

"i don't even like tv that much.."

eventually i'm going to do something of use, make something of myself, make something of anything. find a path, take it, make plans, achieve, get paid.
that or drop out of school and run screaming.
can i come and live with you?

imovie is a dangerous thing.

2005-03-21T02:15:43Z

so, the studio is fun, because we get to do a lot of lame stuff like learn how to say things backwards. i swear, we are going to have to use subliminal messages somewhere on the record. but they are going to be non-harmful subliminal messages, like 'eat more vitamins', because then when a misguided lawyer tries to accuse us of warping the minds of kids, we just play the record back and the entire courtroom hears 'eat more vitamins'.
ok, also i like to set up my ibook amongst all the computers in the control room, with my lyrics book, and look all ultra-important, and then not do any work at all but instead film the rest of my band being stupid, and then edit the video in imovie and put it up on the internet.
so that is what i did. and you should save this file to your computer and enjoy it.

oh, i should mention that the song over the beginning of the video is the old demo version of siren song and in no way represents the quality of the new record that we are working on right now, which is going to kill you dead.

ok great.
