about

VOL.X
I had to move out of that basement. The mold was killing my body and the people above me were killing my psyche. There was nothing available in town. The only place I could find was a place called the T-Lazy Seven Ranch located at the base of the Maroon Bells. It was a utility shed that the landlord called a cabin. It was smaller than my ten by ten and had no sink, but the grounds were the most beautiful place I had ever seen. I had a pet fox and at night bears would rest their bodies against the side of my new home.

I had no internet, TV, radio or cell service and if my car died I would have been stuck up there. But goddamn, that view was worth it.

Darkmatter Jesus and I decided to go for it again. The music he provided was perfect.

“I’ve learned not to compare, compare or contrast the past from the present. Oh forget it, you wouldn’t understand”

For some reason we thought it was funny to name all the songs after reality TV characters. But underneath that idea, making a record every month documenting your life is probably close to the same process as writing a reality TV show. You know where it begins and ends, it’s just how the characters react in the between moments.

“Moving on” is a term I hate. I had nothing I wanted to “move on” to. If I could lyrically and spiritually split the past, present and future, maybe I had chance at “moving on”. “Kim Kardashian” was about trying to see my life differently by actually accepting the direction it had taken.

lyrics

Like trying to read the future in tea leaves
Or admiring the beauty in the trees
Or ignoring the fact that your new apartment may have fleas
And you’ve been trying to see rats and trash differently
“Well how’s that going?”
You readjust words and well known terms
You look for truth in dirt and overturned moss
You’ve been doing it for so long
But you have a greater understanding of what it takes to move rocks
And you actually believe it
