Dissonance Chords & Dissenting Opinion

I’m going to the Razia’s Shadow tour Sunday night! Headliner Forgive Durden, with Anarbor and You, Me and Everyone We Know as openers. I’m really looking forward to it; I’ve missed Forgive Durden on the promo tours for Razia, which is fine, I guess, because he didn’t perform the whole thing. I’m also a little excited because some of the guest artists live in LA so who knows who might show up for a surprise! No guarantees, but here’s hoping!

Unfortunately, my Razia files are all mp4 so I can’t upload a sample, but this song is my favorite from Forgive Durden’s first album, Wonderland: Il Tango della Signora Francesco Di Bartolommeo Di Zanobi Del Giocondo.

Yeah, another one of those hipster nerds who has ridiculous long song titles. At least he learned his lesson like Panic; the titles on Razia are much more to the point.

Before I go to bed, some food for thought:

1) Someone on twitter said “People who are against socialized health care should try living without insurance for a year like I did.” I said, “Get a full time job like I did.” I was going to get kicked off my parents insurance, so I busted my butt to find a full time job with benefits, and I found one. Now I have health insurance. Wasn’t hard. You don’t have to work for a temp agency just because you’re a photographer; any smart artist understands that it has to be a hobby or side job until you get recognized enough to live off it, and that that doesn’t always happen in your lifetime.

So just get a real job while there are still jobs to get!

2) I have to wonder if pro-choice advocates realize that socialized medicine takes away their right to choose…
