rpm and it's 99.9% completion on the last day

having this album so close to completion really makes me think about what pressures bigger bands are under all the time.  who do they have to answer to when they have nothing left?  what sort of time scale are they working on?  do they have to go to work at a real job when they arent writing music?

it also makes you think about albums and if there are any songs they had to crap out last minute...

did the beatles ever have to do it?

what about explosions in the sky?

or godspeed! you black emperor?

i think it pays to have to answer to no one, but i still want to complete the challenge.  ive failed before, and now im much better, and i will not fail again.

i thought about posting a preliminary copy of some songs, but itll just waste precious mixing time.  dont worry, there will be awesomeness soon.

where is the math these days?

as i sit here procrastinating getting my move-out on, im listening to 2 + 2 = 5 by radiohead.  its probably the only song i would want to hear if i saw them live.  its pretty, hard, and emotion-filled.

so what is in the title?

i guess the idea that "two and two always makes a 5" is an interesting idea in a disassociated reality from our own, where something is terribly wrong.  who knows for sure.

one thing about the idea that compels me is to create a whole system that works like the idea of 2 + 2= 5.  someone has probably done it already (just like everything else) but the exercise of creating such a complex system of equations would be mind boggling.  of course, if our universe is infinite, then there must be some plane of existence that contains a system that works off the idea that if you have two apples, and put them together with another two apples, you have five apples.

it begs the question, if you take three apples away from five, are you left with one apple?

if you have an apple and put it with another apple, do you have two and a half apples, or three, or something more bizarre?

anyway, i thought id slap up a photo of a show.  

F1rst post

eventually i imagine many more great things to come from this... as for now, I must move houses and crap.  i hope someone eventually finds this.
