Blah Blah:
Ok, I have brutal fucking ADHD and I've developed this stupid habit of waking up in the morning, thinking of a bunch of shit I want to listen over my first cup of coffee, then forgetting what the hell it was as soon as I'm up and moving. Gonna start writing it down so I don't forget, then really making the effort to "listen with a purpose" rather than just passively leaving my iPod on shuffle all day every day.
Might also make some random notes and jot down ideas for our bands throughout each day to hopefully keep things in my brain longer than 30 seconds at a time.
Playlist:
Celestial Season
Astarte
Septic Flesh
Encoffination
Misanthrope
Trepalium

Notes:
- Finally got a normal amount of sleep last night.... Only pulled down 3 hours Tuesday so I was a fucking mess yesterday. Feeling a little less "surreal" today.
- Prices on Discogs are officially out of control... I keep seeing shit that is still in print going for $30 - $60 before shipping. What the fuck is going on there?
-Pretty sure one of my few friends passed away... He was dealing with some real scary health stuff last time we spoke, and it hit me a while back I hadn't heard from him in a few months.
Emailed him a couple times to check in and see if he was feeling any better and got no reply which is out of character for him.
Edit: Found an obituary. Fuck.

Band stuff we were talking about before bed last night:
- Using the new sampler for mangling environmental sounds into weird grey washes of noise. Train tracks, rain, highway overpass traffic, etc. etc.
- I see the first demo for the new band being pretty stark and brutal, like Godflesh + Encoffination + hints of power electronics. Then, slowly, probably over the course of several years, incorporating touches of melody (psychedelic + goth + Funeral Doom + early 90's Greek black metal + Peaceville deathdoom), more varied tempos, less distorted drums, bits of clean guitar, and generally making things slightly more dynamic without losing the wasteland creep factor.
- Lyrics set in an empty city, people dead or disappeared overnight. Lovecraft, Ligotti, etc. Not exactly doing full concept albums but I feel like it's an idea we could come back to for multiple tunes.
- Vastarien, City of Dreadful Night.
-Gloom, Dread, Isolation, Emptiness.
- Supernatural Disasters. Hostile Architecture. Environment being so fucked up that eventually reality itself starts to fall apart.
- Contagious Insanity/ Thoughtplague.
- I eventually wanna circle back around and do a couple more Inverted Tower tracks the 404 should be useful for that as well.
- Digital Ghost.
