Tweets: an ongoing post with things I wanted to say on twitter.

Editing MIDI stimulates my OCD. No that doesnt stand for Orange Color Dick

Writing in circles

Next To You Breakthrough

Don't patronize me

Get so caught up in recording I forget to eat.

I used to go to/eat at IHOP once a week. I am not talking about the cult church. The pancake place.

Discussed w/ Caitlin: Guilt for friendship maintenance prior to realizing it (friendship) is a two way street

The nice thing about tracking my own piano is no one realizes how bad I actually am at piano :)

I made the mistake of getting on here again. I don't want to real life dislike people because of twitter.

Real musicians are writing music with the chance that no one will hear it.

Hack: Capitalizing or using quotes is a good way to disguise subtweets. 

Can't wait for you all to hear these songs. The best thing we've done to date

2015: The Year of Full Album Listens

This year I have made it a goal to listen to more albums in their entirety. In doing so I decided to keep track of everything I listen to. So far it's been an amazing experience. 

I am trying to listen to all sorts of stuff. Old favorites, new styles and artists, and almost anything interesting that gets released. 

I break it down by month to make it more digestible. 

Albums that have repeat listens within the month are accompanied by the number of times I listened through that month. This resets each new month. 

* denotes that I listened to that album on vinyl. 

Hopefully this encourages you to listen all the way through an amazing record. Here's to music being the greatest thing in the world. 

Social Media Replacement

Feeling some blog posts today. Need the computer, I'll check in later. To discuss: Rhinehaus, Deeper Roots Coffee, Money, girlfriend, family. Maybe other things. Probably other things. Not having my Copeland pre order even though release date was 2 weeks ago. Late night burrito causing gas. Maybe a bathroom review. Who knows. 

Bathroom A Tavola

Hands down my favorite bathroom I frequent. A Tavola Madeira. Come visit. 

Barista Game

6:10 am the alarm goes off. The last thing I want to do is get out of bed and go to work. It's cold outside. My car is cold. I'm the only person at the shop. Setting up the pop up shop is a pain in the ass. The bartender didn't close properly the night before. First customer comes in and it's bleh. Second customer and it's better. By three and four I'm doing great. Toss a cup of coffee in the mix and I am in the greatest mood. Conversations start flowing. Connections are happening. Ideas are coming. 

This progression is vicious and addicting. It's why I think I will always have a hand in the barista game, however small it may be. Even down the road as I look to start my own shop I hope that I always find a way to pull some opening shifts. 

Adopt-a-cat

For the second time in my life, I am living with a cat that is not actually mine. 
My current roommate is named Edgar and he is the cutest bastard that walks on four legs. He is starting to come around to the place and me. I take a lot of pictures so I will post them here. 

He thinks he is human.

The eyes are how he gets away with everything and everything.

Yes, he is that big. 

This happens all the time. 

Weirdo.
