Boy, Girl, You, You're lovely

 You ever get your heart hurt so dog gone bad? Like really bad? Where it seems like every single mistake in your entire life is contained and repeated inside the latest romantic car crash you were involved in? Well honey, you were in a heartquake.
 If you didn't catch that, it was a reference to Kurt Vonnegut's 1997 novel, Timequake. Now, I'm not going to take the time to explain the plot as it somewhat resembles spaghetti. You'll have to do that for yourself.  I don't write about Italian food.

 Sometimes romance gone wrong is like your own personal little why-am-I-missing-all-of-my-teeth-now rodeo, right? And then you make a resolution to only date Praying Manti from now on.

Cut out the bullshit and get right to the head-eating.

You never did? Lets not argue.

 Look, life isn't simple, but what you need to know about it is simple. You're a lovely machine. You are. Yeah, I know. I didn't think we were going to end up here either.

Long Fires, George Harrisons

In 1987 George Harrison released a song that took the world by storm. Perhaps it was because he went all out pop like he hadn't done before, or perhaps it's because he taught an entire house how to dance.

Now I Love that song, I really do. But I have to say that as far as accomplishments in the life of George Harrison go, waking a house from its pre-sentient slumber, educating it about biology, the socialization of animal species (including human mating rituals), and then teaching it- a house- how to do the Chalreston ranks a little bit higher than another pop song trying to get somebody's dick wet. And it was a Fantastic Charleston, not the fumbling, pretend Charlestons you're used to seeing from the likes of parrots and toddlers.

With admiration and respect I think on how the house was also tending a fire in its chimney, hosting a camera crew, and providing George a worthy chair.

But what does this have to do with me? You might ask. Well I'm not here to answer your questions.
The other night though, man. Me and a bottle of absinthe were watching that moose head dance on the wall and I got to thinking: 'the fridge and the microwave are really diggin' this. Shit, 'the dryer's starting to hum.' So I took another swig from the bottle and jammed out a piece in honor of Mr. Harrison's attempt to get into some high class pants.

Lets Get Coffee

Hello there internet. It's me, ttypes. It's been a long time and it's really good to see you.
But before we catch up I've got some news! I have a website now: ttypesmusic.com. And you can even find a link back to this blog on it. Among other things.

Remember Pawl? || pawl.bandcamp.com || We work together sometimes.
Well right now we've got a full length collaborative album in the works.
We've been at it for a year and a half! And between you and me, we'll probably be working on it for another year. But please don't despair, it will be worth it. I promise.
Teaser: there's a song about aliens on it.

Also, if you haven't heard, I've been collaborating with the amazingly talented rapper Landon Wordswell.
If you've never heard of him go check out his bandcamp: https://landonwordswell.bandcamp.com/
We've released a song already! : https://landonwordswell.bandcamp.com/track/karma-ft-ttypes
More to come soon.

What about the Gentlemen of Leisure? Heard of them before?
Well they're working on their debut album, and I'm going to be on it. But honestly, good luck finding them on the internet right now. Though you could check out the work of Chris Blount- https://chrisblount.bandcamp.com/ - one of the founding members of the group and the main rapper on my track Whose Streets?

Then there's this chap Lykaire I've been talking to. He does indie edm, is pretty dope and stuff, and he and his pal Ghost Bed are working on an album and I'm gonna be on that too. They'd be much obliged if you checked out their music: https://lykaire.bandcamp.com/ || https://ghostbed.bandcamp.com/
I'm not getting paid for posting these links, I'm just a nice guy.

Aaaaaanddd: I've started a live demos series on youtube. Go check out my youtube channel! And stay tuned for more on that soon. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkyiuFxCB9C3jeFlxqYem0Q

Ok, phew. I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening internet.

But how are you doing? Did you finally quit that job? Does your dog still have heartworm?
Is your little brother's garment thing working out?

Really? That's good to hear.

Yeah, the weather has been crazy. Have you seen those clouds lately? Aren't they a little bigger than usual? It could just be me.

Well, it was good to see you, internet. We should really do this again. Good luck with your new job! Oh sure, I'll let her know. Ciao.
