all time quarterback - dinner at eight in the suburbs

well, its been a long damn time since i posted last. and i sincerely apologize.
you know how life happens. alot has changed since, but i cant promise that ill continue posting frequently because ive had alot going on, but i will try atleast!

ive been cutting fabric and drinking hot chocolate all day(about 6 cups)
and then i ended up browsing through pictures of hot chocolate and people cutting fabric.
and looking through photos always seems to inspire me, so i decided to post two that i just found on flickr that i really enjoyed. although, my experience isnt as awesome as these make it look. i still have been having alot of fun sitting here and cutting for hours and listening to good music.




hopefully soon, ill really get motivated about posting things that ive been making, aswell as posting things that inspire. but no promises!

until next time,

nate.

Tigers Jaw - I was never your boyfriend

Why is it that, when people are depressed they tend to listen to music that makes everything so much worse?

Hatred Surge-Isolated Human

You know the days where all you want to do is lay and listen to music because so much shit is going on in your life, and you don't know how to deal with it?

well, currently I am doing just that.

2 or so weeks ago, my step dad told my mother that my brothers and sister and I are basically pieces of shit, and that we are turning out to be just like my real father(in prison for rape, and multiple cases of domestic violence.) Since I was a kid I have been trying and trying to do whats right, and to make my dad proud, blah blah blah. Well, I'm done doing that, I am done calling, I am done stopping by, I am done caring. Fuck you.

One other thing, I get a call today. My 16 yr old brother is in jail for attempted manslaughter apparently. I guess my step dad was right about him. I wish there was something I could do. Fucking Dysfunctional. Fuck.

Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.

Here are some lyrics from Hatred Surge-Isolated Human
This song is how I feel right now, and I have been listening to this record on repeat. Its fast and pissed off grind. Download it.

Isolated Human:
run on empty
sleep for years
blood moves slow
shallow breaths
cold room
isolated
can't feel anything
can't move
sealed in
isolation
self destruction
senses failing
mind goes numb

If you download this, go fucking buy it. I bought it for 4 dollars. This band is awesome, so support them.


bye.

Annabel-If the accident will

Yo, here is a video interview with the legend graffiti writer Saber, just saying a few positive things about the culture. Filmed a few years ago, but means a lot to me, and I'm sure to many others in the movement. The original video I found on a dope page called Jetset, check it out http://www.jetsetgraffiti.com/

Real inspiration...




Get off your computer and go paint something...


I better do the same

Suis La Lune - Utter silence is fragile

Like any Michigan show, or most any show rather, I always have a super good time, and usually feel pretty comfortable. But last night for lack of a better term was special. The lineup was super awesome, there were a ton of good friends, good music, and I met and talked to a lot of new people.

All the bands were Michigan bands, and usually, most people that I see don't really care as much to go out of there way to watch the same bands that they could see any other week. But I always get stoked on the bands in our scene, I honestly think Michigan has a good amount of bands doing positive things, and a ton of good people in our scene.

Under Anchor, Deathskin Razors, Great Reversals, Brink, Cloud Rat, Serpent on the Mount, and there was one more that had the drummer of cloud rat and the bass player of under anchor, and I cant for the life of me remember the name, anyways, they were an awesome ass screamo band.

Unfortunately Under Anchor is breaking up...



I, Know.

Very sad.

seriously.
I'm a bit depressed about it, but on the other hand. There are so many bands that I love and listen to on a day to day basis, get a ton of inspiration from and just really appreciate them in general and I will never have the chance the see or experience them, which is unfortunate. But it makes me so happy when i think about it, Since I've been into hardcore, Ive seen under Anchor so many times, befriended those dudes, and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to be a part of that band and sing Rorik's Lyrics along with him at so many shows. I know none of you dudes will ever read this, so the next time I see any of you guys, I am going to spill my heart, HA. But I just wanted to say thank you.

I'm going to post any link related to the bands who played for anyone who reads this to check out.

http://www.myspace.com/underanchor
http://www.myspace.com/cobracobracobra (Deathskin Razors)

unfortunately I wasnt able to find any links for the other bands.
but, you can probably find some on a few fliers here.

go to a show, support positive music.
sorry for rambling in this post.

stay cool

Blaq Poet - Ain't Nuthin Changed

I'm not going to type much in this post, but I am going to post two videos, that will say how I am feeling, and obvious what is inspiring me, the first is a video that is basically the reason why I love hip hop and it's culture so much.
The second is a video, well the video will explain itself. Just reminds me of why I am a free thinker, and why I support diy and non commercial ideas.

Take a look...

Caitlyn Bailey - Champion of the sun

For some reason I never post on here, like I should. I'm on the computer enough, but for some reason i avoid it. Maybe because I feel like no one reads it? So the effort seems pointless. So, hopefully not! With that being said, In this post I just wanted to post a couple photos that I've taken lately. Which is mainly all bands! These past two months I feel like I've been to way too many shows that I need to, and We did a week tour with our friends in Homelife, So I have a few photos of them aswell.




The rest can be viewed at flickr.com/nathandell

Alot of art Ive been doing lately has been musicaly inspired, so I also wanted to share a band that I have been listening to alot. They are a screamo band based out of the Phillipines, called Caitlyn Baily, this download includes there split with Meaning and there four song ep titles Feugo.
And I really love this photo, its probably my favorite thing about this band. haha.

Thanks for reading, I have band practice.
