okay!

Posted about 1 year ago
i am DONE.finals week ALMOST killed me but you'll be glad to know that i made it out...mostly in one piece. i just finished up my last paper which marks the end of my third year. summer is a weird time. i'm not sure what i think about it yet.i've been listening to mostly study-type music but especially this band along the way..."okay".a little band from fremont california. check out this track simply titled "my". the vocals have a rough edge to them...which i do really like...that gives a unique, strangely calming effect. yet there is still that simplicity.i need to get out of the library now! although summer isn't looking to be very sunny this year...my first plan for relaxation and clearing my mind? "heima"...

  1. Bartleby says I must say I quite the mandolin on this track... And also how piece builds up, layer upon layer of sound and space. Lovely... Regarding summer, I believe it won't start until 21st June (at least in the northern hemisphere). Anyway, have a lovely holiday. (I'm already under the spell of your piano practice ;)

  2. dachmo says Unexpectedly good, wasn't sure about the voice at first but I ended up liking it. Thanks, as I add another band to the list.

  3. amber says Michael...don't you remember? The second school is done is summer for students. Unfortunately Kari lives is Seattle so her summer is mostly theoretical anyhow. ;) Kari! congratulations on finishing for the school year. Now you can get down to the important business of going to shows, listening to music, relaxing.

  5. Marigold says I had a similar reaction to the track as Dachmo. It was weird how his voice instantly hit me as abrasive but after I got acclimated to the song itself it seemed to fit really cool with the music. I would have to say they are A Okay. :P Seriously though, cool track. Thanks for the intro. As for your school....WOOOT. Did you go to the record store yet??? Heima would be really cool to see. I have not seen that yet....I need to get on that. thanks for the reminder.

  7. ardyjormkiv says bartleby...agreed. layers always get to me! hahhah an you're so right about summer. i always forget that the end of school doesn't automatically make it "summer'. there is hope yet! i'm excited to have more time to play now... dachmo...what's great about this is that you won't forget it...so many bands with typical voices i might notice, but won't remember to come back to! amber....haha. wow that's exactly how i think about it. i guess i will soon know...when i enter the 'real world'? and honestly, summer in Seattle usually doesn't disappoint me as much as this summer, er uh june, has so far. ahh and yes. i hadn't gone to a show (barring one) in the past few months...or more...and tonight i went for it! so good to be back in the game! (with ringing ears and everything...) sam...good luck with everything. with the new sigur ros to listen to, i'm sure you actually look forward to studying. so yeah, i've heard that its out but since i only have this silly dial-up at home i haven't been able to check it out. marigold...thanks for sticking in there. it really is worth it! (and lolz about your avatar, by the way). it definitely wouldn't be the same without the voice. record store...no. but show....yes! i have been quite lacking in that area. heima is worth watching at LEAST once. pretty much a necessity. that's your homework! fistula...i should get on to listening more of the label! thanks for that suggestion. fun is already being had...its a slow start, but its something. thanks!
