back on tumblr for almost a year now. I try not to reblog because it gets to be too much work. Started with text pieces, then photography. Now some photography but also notes to myself and “reality” stuff. I recommend all these people, but the last one only if you like wrestling (wewatchwrestling) (I don’t follow anymore since I quit wrestling after getting back into it for a couple years).

Last night was the closest I’ll come to being in a horror video game. I came off the subway elevator listening to The Knife’s “Old Dreams Waiting to Be Realized” (sorry no embed) a sort of dark, evocative ambient track (twenty minutes long). It has some drums that sound like footsteps, or sounds that sound like drums/footsteps—and then I heard laughter. Cackling, insane, echoing male laughter. I tried to discern whether it was from the track or from real life to no avail. I got to the tracks, to the creepy lighting pictured above and not being able to tell whether it was real scared me and my heart quickened as it does now remembering that feeling. The laughter got louder so I figured out that it was a homeless man laid up across on the opposite platform. Seeing him only made the whole ambience a little less scary. (I tried to record him laughing but it was intermittent and my phone can’t play music and record at the same time—I wanted to listen to the song more than I wanted to get the recording.)
I’ve been listening to the album for a few days but I’ve never gotten past the long tracks because it’s hard to hear them on public transit. This happened again as a train passed going the opposite way. Afterwards I thought I could hear the synths coming back in slowly but I wasn’t sure. Waiting and listening for something kind of unpleasant reminded me of the fear I felt walking around in Resident Evil games, zombies hidden by camera angles and I thought that I understood ambient music then. I think the next level of understanding would probably be more abstract, without reference to video games or cinema (lighting tricks).

Men have irrational and violent responses to female resistance and expression.

fuzzyhorns:

radsis:

battinasprinkle:

Fedoras do not like misandry hats. Here’s today’s rundown:

  • One dudebro equates misandry with nazism
  • Another calls for verbal harassment and public shaming of anyone caught wearing a misandry hat
  • Several bemoan the lack of misogyny hats
  • At least two neckbeards have apparently reported my misandry hats to Etsy in an effort to have them banned as items that promote hatred of people based on gender

And those are just the ones I haven’t blocked yet.

MRA problems.

smh

Get one if these hats next winter

Deadass: I came up with this as a rap name in the fourth grade. Only I didn’t know about Google so just one d (“the extra D so you can google me”).

One line I always remember from that era, which was a big hit, was “my bills are crispy like Snap, Crackle, and Pop.” (The era was a day long, I’m no Danny Brown.)

A while ago I decided to try and allot a certain amount of money for creator-owned art on the net, some where between $5-$8 a month. The quota doesn’t force me to find things but rather stops me from feeling guilty while enjoying stuff, if i’ve already given that month. It’s weird because I still don’t allow myself to win: I doubt whether this will actually affect the distribution of art because I’m only doing it “out of the hope that someone’ll donate to me one day”. 


This month I’ll probably give some money to Democracy Now! but the rest have been art products:


March: GEN by B L A C K I E $7 purchase a few months after getting it off a mediafire link

February: 19/64 by Kool A.D. $8 

January: Scrambles by Bomb the Music Industry $8 donation*

December: Special Special Special by Maria Bamford $4.99 purchase

November: Open Five 2 dir. by Kentucker Audley $8 donation

October: Long Shot Podcast $8 donation

Probably mixed stuff up after January but you get the general idea. Follow the links and support these artists with your eyes, ears, slave dollars, real dollars etc.

PS: I would give Lil B money but he deosn’t seem to need it/be up on all this stuff (except for his “rock/classical” records on iTunes but another rule I have is nothing from iTunes). I don’t get how he doesn’t sell any music but never goes on tour.

*Weirdly, a month after donating I saw frontman Jeff rosenstock speak at a panel in a New York City bookstore. I wanted to talk to him afterwards but…did not. I had “nothing” to say. Later I came up with something like “Dude your liner notes are really entertaining by the way. You should consider writing a memoir or something.”

writing raps

[Wrote a little hip hop lyricism brief for my nerdy friend who wants to write a rap battle into a video game. I might help him write it too. I’m glad he asked me because these things can be so awful. I wrote it assuming the battle would be text. This was just dashed off at work so don’t judge too harshly, I just wanted to give him models to look at and moves he might go to as he wrote—not give a history lesson or hierarchy of MCs.]

As a reminder all raps are written on the 4/4 beat. Look up any song and you can count it. When writing even if the result will just be text, you should be sure to write to a beat (I was very disappointed when you didn’t do this in the Adelfa workshop!).  If you know any popular songs you’d like to use, you might google “#{song name} instrumental” and see if it comes up. Here are some beats to use:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrj9YCJS120

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnEvp3gb3gg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDwV0rrhS8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNLScQoKfU8

It’s my understanding that rap started as party music. DJ’s would keep playing the same loop from a vinyl record to form a beat and shout over it. This is why I get mad when people hate on party rap because they like “conscious” stuff that’s very dense. You should try to have dense imagery/ideas but this does not equate to stuffing every line full of information. 

The old stuff would be call and response like the DJ saying “Can I kick it?” “Yes you can” “Can I kick it?” “Yes you can.” Etc. There’s a sort of elipsis there and you should know to use this if you want, even someone reading the lyrics will put the words on beat since they know how a rap is supposed to sound.

One thing to do is to change up your rhyme scheme by using internal rhymes.

We was together on the block since free lunch

We should’ve been together having Four Seasons brunch

We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather

So now we travel first class to change the forecast

Never in bunches, just me and you

I loved your point of view cause you held no punches

That’s Jay-Z on Song cry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5srnNrICJo
