This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
although things have seemed especially quiet on the helmsley front, after an official review of my latest material, i have enough to release a new LP (thats right, LP) tentatively titled: 2009/2010. it will be 10 songs long and spans roughly the past 3, maybe 4 months. as of right now there’s still a bunch of work to do including a bit of tracking and a bunch of mixing, but i thought i’d give anyone who cares a heads up. here’s the tracklisting:
1. going back to the beginning
2. 2009/2010
3. julian
4. ms. mullen
5. green room
6. schools out for the winter
7. the show
8. last last last
9. best vets, vest bets
10. caribous
i can have the whole thing pretty much complete in one day’s worth of work, i just have to pin down a free day. look for it to go live on the space within a few weeks and message me for a download link if you want one. <3bemo

Well, we’re into july and still no progress. The whole credit card scheme has been disappointing to say the least so we’re moving onto the whole loan thing. I trust mike completely but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some doubts about this turning into an absolute fiasco. I just know the record needs to be made. I’m willing to risk a life long debt to Chase bank as long as I have something fucking unbelievable to show for it. I just cant help but feel as though we’re kind of running out of time. I guess mike has to go to FL for some training for Jet Blue in August so we really need to get this shit rolling. The loan decision might take a week, it might take another week to locate the equipment on ebay, another week to get it, a week or two to record, a day in Fridmann’s studio. Its going to be quite the stretch. I don’t want to leave for school with this thing incomplete because if I do it’ll never be finished.
Still no bass player either. I thought they were supposed to be the easiest member to replace?! Its nice to have the free practice space at Dan’s, but useless without a band to make noise in it.
