But as an ironic spectator of myself, I’ve never lost interest in seeing what life brings. And since I now know beforehand that every vague hope will end in disillusion, I have the special delight of already enjoying the disillusion with the hope, like the bitter with the sweet that makes the sweet sweeter by way of contrast. I’m a sullen strategist who, having never won a battle, has learned to derive pleasure from mapping out the details of his inevitable retreat on the eve of each new engagement.

The Book of Disquiet
by David H on March 3, 2010
When I go over 140 characters, you will lose interest…
All quiet on the western front. A few videos being made. One might feature puppets. An EP in the works. Working out the kinks. Building up confidence.
We were invited to play a showcase at SXSW but due to lack of corporate funds we will not be gassing up the private jet and heading for Austin this year. I will put on my own SXSW (more of a WXW since I’m in Wyoming) if forty people show up to my apartment. I’ll give myself a funny haircut and play two hours of songs while you sit contemplatively and drink scotch. Sound like a deal?
And, since the Oscars are coming up, here’s a playlist of movies I recently enjoyed.
A serious man
Flame and Citron (WWII Untouchables?)
Paris, Texas (Harry Dean Stanton watches over us all in the night)
An Education (screenplay by Nick Hornby! who knew?)
Tyson (a documentary from Mike Tyson’s POV)
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (the best of this list in my opinion)
Thank you for continuing to support us by buying songs and the album from Itunes.
Stay tuned.
