movies of my dreams

for me sometimes it takes getting from what you're doing to get the best results out of what you're doing. maybe that doesn't make sense. but what i'm getting at is that i've been watching movies to get out of my own head. last night i saw this film 'lonesome jim' it was one of the most hilariously depressing movies i've seen in a while. made me think about how lucky i am to have a great relationship with my family. also made me glad that they don't live in ohio. no offense if you're from there or love it, but that film makes it look terrible.

the days are flying by. it's hard to decipher where they start and where they end. 2006 has already started to become a blur. april's almost here and new york is about to bloom. the weather is so gorgeous and everyone is walking around in a good mood.

i like it. i also like this guy (drivingintothewreck.com). makes me realize we need to have a press page on our site. more work, more work, more work.

i love it. like i love you.

the cliche of not being able to sleep

Feels too fitting, can't sleep, so I write a blog entry. So here it is........

Been playing more piano lately. Haven't really touched my guitar in about a week, minus practice.

I went to Trader Joe's today. What a mess. People everywhere. It just seemed so sloppy. I'm not talking about the store, but the presentation of people as a collective mass. Groceries were cheap.

Let's talk about the weather....it's amazing out. Makes me feel nostalgic. Nostalgia is one of my favorite feelings.

Coffee.

Just had a cup of coffee at a place in Queens called FreezePeach. I think that is a homophone or something. Neat little place. Too quiet.

Sitting there pretending to read Details magazine, I started thinking about Alabama. Not the state, but the people I love in the state. If any of you are reading this, I miss you.

The fulfillment I've found here in New York is so much different than that of home. I'm going to keep playing music in New York and elsewhere with the hope of making enough money to come home whenever possible.

I need both.

the stage

we're two weeks away from our 3rd show ever. we changed the ending to 'cinema'. it could change again by the next show. who knows? sometimes i wonder if we'll change parts to these 10 songs that we recorded last year in 5 years from now. it seems like they can just keep evolving forever.

of course writing new songs sounds like more fun.

and speaking of the new song is just about set in stone. well, i suppose it needs a name. but it sounds great. i think we're all stoked to play it.

that's all the talking about songs i have in me for tonight.

love,

Hello for the first time

So we just released our debut self-titled album and I feel a sense of relief and fear. Many of these songs have been in the making for close to 3 years prior to the album's release. I've sat with some of these songs through many versions and life changes. Some were written in Monroe, GA at my parents house in the middle of nowhere and some were written in NYC, a city of constant spattering of crowds and streets and struggle. I don't know where to go from there. Maybe I just want to build a little window in your mind of where some of these songs originated. They do come from real events, people, places and memories, I assure you of that. To whomever may be reading this at this time of our infancy, I just hope you enjoy our record even a fraction as much as I have enjoyed being part of making it.

practice makes perfect

From the drummer to you.

I am not the leader, as there is no master part to a machine needing four parts to function. But I can speak openly about my desires and the desires of The Station Myth. Beginning on Monday, March 20th, we are making our album available for free download from our website. The album will be high quality files, available per song OR full album ZIP file. This will be indefinite.

I have never worked harder on anything in my life. Neither have the other three Daniels. We have striven for an uncompromising realization of the vision we had before we began. That has been achieved.

We want you to have our music.

Plain and simple. Enjoy.

Get it.

Whitt.
