Seeing as I haven't yet posted anything which isn't poetry related I thought I'd say a few words. First off though let me clear the air, yes these are original writings. No I did not get them from anywhere. Clear? Brilliant :).
These words are as much a part of me as the organs functioning in and around my body. I hope they can live and breathe for you like they do for me, however doubtful that may be.
In other news I recently (as in 30 minutes ago) discovered some new tracks from the upcoming Mars Volta album - Octahedron. It's gotten me pretty excited, obscure artwork aside. So far I think that the track "With Twilight As My Guide" is possibly the most beautiful song Omar and Cedric have ever been responsible for writing. Based on the sound of that track alone I can see the monumental amount of potential the album has, although for some reason I feel a little hesitant about it. We'll have to wait and see I suppose. Although I think I can safely say that it is the ideal sequel to The Bedlam In Goliath - Juxtaposing the "loud loud loud" structure of the album with something more fragile, possibly (probably) interspersed with moments of frantic chaos. I must say though I am impressed with the frequent nods to 'Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus' off of 'Frances the Mute' in the new track 'Desperate Graves'. I'm looking forward to the next album, the band has ceased to disappoint me thus far with their body of work. Even more-so than the new album I'm looking forward to being in the presence of the very geniuses themselves this year July.
Equally as exciting is Reading '09. Yes, this Summer has the scent of awesomeness the likes of which I've yet to experience. Now all I need to do is lose some weight =o.
It's been a good day, a boring day, but still good. Boring is just about the best offer I'll get right now I think.
BRING ON THE SUMMER.
wooop wooop, i shall be at both of those occasions :D good times.
