Attn Alts

Hot Mess

My Alt Bros (minus a few)

Oh haaaay.

If you have not given your little ears the pleasure, and your little eyes the immense excitement that is abound by Grizzly Bear's video for 'Ready, Able.', I suggest you do so immediately. WARNING: You'll probably only enjoy it if you're an alt bro or girl. AKA: This is not the mainstream Lady Gaga dancing around in a leather leotard six sizes too small, with a real live peacock sitting on her head, posing as a hat. Ready, Able is the future of music videos (I hope). Alt bros all over Williamsburg will be making music videos for non-mainstream bands (their friends' band) in their artist loft that their trust fund money bought them, ironically, for free. I can only hope.

I want to own a venue. Realizing that 95% of my friends are in bands (good ones), and are always looking for places to play on tour, I can put my friends to good use and please everyone, all in one shot. My friends would have a place to play, I would be providing good (not mainstream) music for kids near and far to chill out/rage out and listen to, and I'd be making bank/hanging out with my friends all the time. Dream job? Yes. Tangible? Yes. Now who wants to be my investor...

I've been having super crazy dreams lately. Like, so vivid and real, that I wake up and literally have to think super hard if I actually just lived it or not. Even weirder ... so many of these dreams have been coming true, to a certain degree. I've been sleeping like a champion lately. I never ever get more than five hours of sleep a night, and I definitely never fall into a deep sleep during those five hours. But lately, I've been in REM mode hardcore, and I feel like a million bucks the next day. I love it. (Who wouldn't?) The one downfall? Last night, I woke up at 4am drenched in sweat (literally), and with my nose ring in my hand (I ripped it out in my sleep and was clutching it). Totally weird. I'm still bugging out from it seventeen hours later. Let's hope I don't sleep walk and try to scrub off my tattoo because I "thought it was a temporary one". 

Tomorrow is bromance night with my fave dudes. My boys DSI are playing a show tomorrow night, and things tend to get radical come a good friday night. Love their bones.
