I've never made a mixtape for the Internet. I've made many for myself. I've made some for friends. I've made some for boys. This is just a compilation of songs to listen to today, or any day of the year.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe I'll teach myself how to put together an actual one soon. But for now, songs about 'love' that I like.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />A first look at <b>Alex Lee</b> of <a href="http://xxbcbrand.com/" target="_blank">XXBC</a> and <a href="http://wirdyblog.com/">wirdyblog.com</a>'s <a href="http://wearevoyeur.com/seven-days/alex-lee/" target="_blank">7 Days submission for <b>VOYEUR</b></a>. I am excited to finally get this project back up and rolling. I know I make a lot of empty promises to the internet, but I am really intent on revitalizing my personal projects (like this one). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please keep an eye out for the many other contributors I have lined up including <i>Alex Gehring of Ringo Deathstarr</i>, designer <i>Mary Meyer </i>and my sister, who just got back from Berlin on a StyleSight mission.</div>

I figured I ought to update this blog. Actually, I always do intend to. However, working 4 jobs tends to really interfere with personal projects, like blogging and <b><a href="http://wearevoyeur.com/" target="_blank">VOYEUR</a></b>. At least I had time to change my hair. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moving to BK has really been a huge change for me, and I'm really happy with my decision. I miss breakfast tacos, walking to Thunderbird and renting movies at Vulcan Video a lot, but feeling out what this city has to offer has been a blast -- if only I had more time/money to adventure around the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep updated with the blog and Voyeur for updates VERY SOON. I have disposable cameras and interviews coming in from designers <a href="http://marymeyerclothing.com/" target="_blank"><b>Mary Meyer</b></a> (who I recently worked for doing social media and PR) and<a href="http://johnrenaud.com/" target="_blank"> <b>John Renaud</b> </a>(who recently made a move to Berlin) and ones pending from other awesome folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If you ever have any suggestions for Voyeur features or want to submit yourself, please contact me <i><a href="http://wearevoyeur.com/contact/" target="_blank">HERE</a></i>. Or if you just want to chat or collaborate on something in the near future, I'd love to hear it.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently (summertime) helped my friend <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2045432">Joel Calvin</a> work on a video for his band <a href="http://ohnoohmy.com/">Oh No Oh My</a>'s song "<i>You Can Have It If You Want It</i>." You can peep my lips close to the beginning of the video. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best part of this video is that it basically just features a bunch of my friends and my sister. Check out the rest of Joel's work on his <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2045432" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>. Can't wait to work on another video with him!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another birthday is coming up this week. Time to put together another "wish list". In quote, because I never actually ask for these things on gift-giving occasions, they are more of a compilation of things that I want or might someday want to purchase for myself given the funds are available. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<img src="http://www.bonadrag.com/images/products/detail_1416_bliss-relief-1.jpg" width="500" />
</div>
<br />
This <b>Bliss Lau Leather Relief Dress </b>is kind of my latest obsession. Of course it costs $3199 <a href="http://www.bonadrag.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1416" target="_blank">on Bona Drag</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Y.R.U. Bloq Lace-Up Flatform Boots</b>, which are $90 <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=26058545&parentid=WOMENS_SHOES" target="_blank">on UO</a>, which is out of my budget these days.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.dabruxa.com/images/DB_LOGO2.png" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://www.dabruxa.com/" target="_blank">Da Bruxa </a>"Itch Witch"</b>: This stuff is amazing and it's just $12. I highly recommend it now after using some of Mary Meyer's. It literally makes mosquito bites (and other bites) not itch and pretty quickly go away. Necessary considering I am constantly getting bit.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/ishoutlove/EaglesShadowBikini.png" width="500" /></div>
<b>Eagles Shadow Bikini </b>- $110. A little steep for swimwear for me, especially since I don't know if the top will fit. But I've been wanting this since I spotted it a long time ago.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/ishoutlove/dolcettaharnessboot.png" width="500" /></div>
<b>Dolcetta by Dolce Vita Harness Heel Boot</b> <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19061316&CAWELAID=1003420178" target="_blank">$98</a> - these have been on my wishlist for myself for probably 2 years now.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/photos/zoom/serve.asp?media=rsa8370s_Black.jpg" width="500" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also have been wanting this basic <b>AA crop top</b>, but feel too broke to even buy this right now at $30.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://images.apothica.com/xl_images/smashbox-cosmetics-halo-hydrating-powder-fair.jpg" width="500" /></div>
A really good <b>powder</b> + <b>teach me how to do make up</b>, because I don't know how.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
+ a bunch of cute pillows to complete my room. Oh and a couch. And a breakfast nook. And some rugs. And a salary. And to have all my records from back home shipped to me. Okay, that's it. Is that too much to ask for, universe?</div>

I haven't posted about my project <b><a href="http://wearevoyeur.com/" target="_blank">Voyeur</a> </b>in a minute.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome to <b><span style="color: lime;">BRN VMT</span></b>, which is "brain vomit" in case you couldn't tell. I called it this, because I have this issue with verbal regurgitation -- if you know me you know this to be true. So, while I definitely have a word vomit issue in real life, surely an online journal of mine would be my brain vomit. I'll be using this the same way I used Austin is Burning, but now I feel less constrained by geographical locale. </div>

Realistically, it might have been a month or so, maybe only a few key days of the time period. Either way, it's pretty representative of what it was like. I miss Austin all the time, it really was a great place to call home. Here, too. It feels strange to miss one place and feel excited about another at the same time, but no more conflicting than anything else in life.</div>

Well, I am. I'm moving to NY in a few days, which might just be the end of this blog, or at least the way it is now. Please check back soon for when I make this into an iCarly fan blog or something. I love you all.</div>

So a few months ago, <a href="http://www.lomography.com/" target="_blank"><b>Lomography</b></a> gave me a La Sardina 35mm camera, and I switched out my disposables for my life documentation purposes.

Everybody knows <b>Xiu Xiu</b>. I remember blasting <i>"I Luv The Valley OH"</i> with my sister and feeling as misunderstood as Jamie Stewart in high school. I was happy to hear the band was returning to Austin <b>tomorrow night</b> (at <b>Mohawk</b>) on their North American tour. I had been seeing their passage through the states and Canada with Dirty Beaches and Father Murphy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The line up took on a change mid-way though and Dirty Beaches was replaced by <b><a href="http://yamantakasonictitan.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN</a></b>. This band's music and performance is as big and exciting (and experimental) as their name suggests. There is no way for you to understand their music through text, so I suggest you give it a listen (below). They create music they have self-dubbed "<b>Noh-wave</b>" in reference to No Wave and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noh" target="_blank">Noh</a>, a classical form of Japanese musical drama. <br />
<br />
I lucked out on an opportunity to interview the band's core, drummer <b>Alaska B</b> and singer <b>Ruby Kato Attwood </b>about influences and what to expect from their show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>+++++</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I saw you listed Boris and Gwar as a few of your musical and stage inspirations. Are there any visual artists you are particularly inspired by?</b></div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ruby: I'm influenced by documentarian footage of ritual performance.</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: The artists I hate influence me the most. If its challenging to my taste, it instigates my response through imitation or resistance. So I guess I love hate my favourite artists. Love: Zhang Huan, Takashi Murakami, Marina Abramovic, Tenjo Sajiki. Love hate: Matthew Barney.</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Are there any other bands you would consider "Noh-Wave"?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: Noh-pe</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What are some of the strangest items you've transformed into instruments?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: Clothesline and 1x6 plank gu Zheng, 50s egg timer bass, a water chestnut can shamisen or a megaphone tamboura. I also built an infamous set of electronic drums out of a Rock Band kit back in 2008. We don't use them as much live, but they still rear their heads every so often. </div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have new ones in the work. Right now my baby is our new 8-panel DIY-led light rig I built with Aylwin Lo for under $600. Our lightning designer Alana Ruth is currently using it on tour. Designed to be modular, I plan to keep increasing its capabilities. It can already sync to Ableton live and MIDI.</div>

<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What are some of the best reactions to your performances?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: When a kid at ATP in England somehow knew all of our lyrics. Or maybe when I jumped into the pit at our false alarm farewell show back in 2009 and managed to send even seasoned extreme musicians terrified into the corners with a violent head smashing performance. I've had to cut those down though; I can't take as much abuse as I used to.</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ruby: A guy in San Francisco told us that he finally understood the connection between meditation and doom metal. Generally, the response from our fans have been amazing, and we want to come back even better than ever on a headlining tour</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Some of the worst?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ruby: All reactions are good. Whatever they want to think is half of it.</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: I guess 50% is a passing grade no matter how you spin it.</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Have you been to Austin before? </b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: Noh-pe. But our other singer, Ange Loft, might be the first Mohawk to ever perform at the Mohawk</div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What do you have planned for the performance at Mohawk in Austin?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alaska: Due to touring's limitations, we've toned down a lot of our stageshow. I won't be doing any of our more intense performance pieces, because I have to play night after night, and drumming is already physically demanding. Our cardboard sets are definitely limited as they can't survive that many shows, and with less time to set up, we can't do the absurd spectacles we became known for. But we still plan to put on a killer light show and play a solid set. The audience won't be disappointed.</div>

Before embarking on a month-long US/Canada tour, I got to chat him up on the phone and ask him about their newest album,</span><a href="http://thismachine.dandywarhols.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"> <i>The Machine</i></a><span style="text-align: justify;">, and more.</span><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How does <i>The Machine</i> differ from previous albums for you?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter Holmström:</i> You know, for us, the big difference is it's a really stripped down record. We kind of approached it trying to limit ourselves in the amount of tracks we recorded, because what with digital recording, you can record millions of tracks or songs if you really wanted. And in the past, we've gotten carried away, and I think it kind of affected adversely with some of the songs, so we definitely tried to make that happen. And I think it worked well.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Where does the inspiration come from for this one?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter:</i> I don't know that it came from one place at all, I think it comes from everywhere.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What music were you listening to?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter:</i> Prior to making the record, I was listening to a lot of early rock n roll, rockabilly stuff, and more modern variations of that. And I think that kind of helped inspire the stripped down approach. But besides that, we listen to everything. I don't really know that any one thing is more inspiring than another.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And usually, actually, it's what we're not hearing, which is the biggest influence on what we're doing.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So you want The Dandy Warhols to separate themselves from anything you are currently hearing?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter: </i>Yeah, it's not necessarily a conscious thing. It kind of started after we started working on <i>Welcome To The Monkey House</i>. There was a big resurgence of guitar rock at that time; The Strokes had come out, Black Rebel, White Stripes. And since there was a lot of guitar music around, we didn't feel the need to make guitar music. So we kind of took a different approach. </div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then for us, the next record - we hadn't been playing much guitar and the songs were very concise on <i>Monkey House</i> - we ended up doing <i>Odditorium [Or Warlords Of Mars]</i>, which was a very meandering, kind of free-form more experimental guitar record. It just goes back and forth from what we're doing. So, I guess it's not just doing what we're not hearing, as well as doing something new that we hadn't been doing already.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know if that makes any sense at all.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I think so, yeah, just keep the sound changing all the time and not stagnant.</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter:</i> Yeah, we tend to have not super short attention spans, but we definitely feel like we need to keep either progressing, or if not progressing, at least changing, even song to song sometimes.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>When was the last time you were in Austin?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter: </i>It might have been about two years ago, two and a half years ago, when were kind of touring on the Capitol years.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Did you get to hang out at all?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter:</i> I think that time we went to, and I don't know the name of the bar, but we went to a bar and saw a band of old-time country players. I forget what they were called. Some of the most amazing musicians I think I've ever seen in my life, kind of made me want to stop calling myself a guitar-player.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually, I was in Austin a year ago for <a href="http://austinpsychfest.com/">Psych Fest</a> for my side project,<a href="http://peteinternationalairport.com/main/"> Pete International Airport.</a> </div>

<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Did you get to see the city that time?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter: </i>I was there for three days, but I was at Psych Fest all three days. </div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I wondered what you like about Austin and what you like about Portland.</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter: </i>They always say there's similarities, but I think it's more just similarities of people's attitudes about things, a little more artistic, I guess, than other places. I don't know how to describe Portland. It's weird.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What makes you want to stay in Portland?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter: </i>We didn't want to move. This is home. </div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I have one serious question: Where did Courtney's second Taylor come from?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Peter:</i> I don't know. I never quite understood that. I think it had a lot to do with the time his parents were still together, so he wanted to hyphenate… no, nevermind, I can't explain it. I have no clue. I used to remember what his explanation was, but that was years ago. It never really made sense to me. Sorry, can't help you.</div>

<div class="p2">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And one last question: Should we expect any nudity from the live show these days?</b></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it's the end of an era. For four years, Ben Tipton has been bringing us my favorite weekly event, <b>Burger City Rock N Roll</b>. And BCRNR has never failed to bring us great tunes, live shows and good pool times. I loved the event from the start, as in when I heard the word "burger..." In fact, a while back, I <a href="http://launch787.com/general/burger-city-rock-n-roll/">featured Burger City and Ben on a local blog</a> <b>Launch787</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll be sad to see it go, but tears are useless. Let's let Burger City go out with a bang tonight with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/217109888397906/">BURGER CITYS ADIOS AMIGOS 4TH BIRTHDAY AND LAST HOORAH!</a> Tonight's band is <b>The Best</b>, which is composed of members of local bands Bad Sports, Bad Lovers and Flesh Lights. I saw them live for the first time at a previous Burger City, and they live up to their name.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets all eat some greasy burgers (or veggie burgers if that's your thing) in honor of our Burger City homies. Now I'm hungry.</div>

So, I've had the privilege to work for <b>buydefinition.com</b> for the past two years, and it's been a pleasure. From starting out as a social media intern, to assistant manager, to manager, to hosting the pop up shops, it's been quite the growth experience for me. </div>

Anyway, I'm not here to talk about myself but the last sale I'll be hosting at <b><a href="http://dogandpony.us/">Dog & Pony</a></b> for the website.
