i watch you rage in the sahara tent

It's been a busy few weeks and I'll just say that the music is back because that's something that wasn't there for a while.  I've recorded 10 songs in the last two weeks which is a good sign.  Tonight I wrote the song below.  It was inspired by Paris Hilton's tweets. The song was originally going to be about altered states and mushrooms but I decided a Twitter Coachella heiress hipster inspired jam was way better.  I hope you like it.  I am excited about where the music is going because it's more or less just coming to me now even more so than it was two years ago when I record the 100+.  We'll see how this year pans out...we could be looking at the 300 demos project :).  Peace out y'all.  


Oh and feel free to follow me on Twitter if you read this and don't.  I avoided it for a while but now I'm all over it again. @m3d1um.

tie my hands behind my back i'm back i'm back oh wait i'm not really back

and my panic attack is a panic attack when I'm under attack...I'm under attack.

It's snowing in space.

4 new songs + a remix = my entire output in 2011. I hope you're still here because I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

I have to organize and categorize a bunch of songs in progress in the weeks to come because I lost my list when my machine crashed the last time. That's going to take a bit of work since I have to pull all of that stuff from my notebooks.

More tomorrow about the songs from this weekend because I'm tired and really just felt like posting something about nothing so here's some shadowkitten.

i'm only sad to see my tears reflect your light...

Break me into dust

I'm only here

to take the place

of all your love

Close your eyes tonight

I'm only sad

to see my tears

reflect your light

The full moon stands still

I'm only weak

to hold your hand

please understand...

With a heart that's pouring rain

you live a sick and tortured life

if nobody feels he pain

please be careful with that knife

These are the first lyrics I've written since 2010 that really mean something to me. This song was inspired by Elliott Smith which is why I named it after him. I've been fighting vocal problems but decided I wasn't going to let that stop me tonight. I hope you get something out of this. I know I did. Goodnight.

i'll tell you something that i wouldn't tell you any other time

Hi. Lately things have been kind of slow going. I planned on returning to writing new stuff in January and a series of mishaps kept derailing me. A few weeks ago I started recording 8 new songs and then I over extended my voice an boom...voice gone for two weeks. So tonight I went and remixed/restructured "Electric." I remember writing this song and it has the distinction of being one of few that I made up while we were recording where the lyrics barely changed. I love those moments. Over the next few days I'm going to push to rework a few more of the older demos and hopefully by the weekend my voice will be back. It's almost manageable tonight but not quite there.

Oh and hey...if you by chance read this blog show me some love on Facebook. :).
