whatever else you plan on going to will NEVER top this. Make a New Year’s revolution: “I will read HMH consistently because they know best.”

You know what every tuesday is already. Don’t act like you don’t. Taaaayy Taaay Tuesday, that’s right.

This band here is White Denim. Coming from Dallas/Austin— Daustin. Can’t really explain what or how they sound like exactly, but you gotta listen to this track. I’m sure it makes you want to do what it’s titled. Get it?

I heard from Tay that they put on a killer show, so if you’re ever in their town or if they’re in ours. Go check them out.

White Denim- Mess Your Hair Up

WHITE DENIM – Shake Shake Shake

If I were listening to them while drunk… I’d be kicking over every trash can in sight at the same time. That says something about their music right? Rockin. OUT.

The Box Elders, you may not have heard of them, but they’re solid. They have a dirty sound that recalls both 60s psychedelia and punk. A blend that is both unique and palatable. I believe the show will be a perfect cap for a Monday.

The show tonight also features a pair of our local bands, The Wiggins and Giant Princess. I must say, I’m digging these guys quite a bit too. The Wiggins are dirty, blending electronic, abstract post-punk, and grimy vocals for all too pleasing aesthetic. Giant Princess is a little more straight forward, but not without an unusual charm.

Before you spend another night sitting at home, head to Rudyard’s for Box Elders, The Wiggins, and Giant Princess. Peep the flier for the good news.

We’re holding it down at 2010Backside.
So hold on tight and ask santa for that train you always wanted.

As mother used to say, “you don’t know how good you’ve got it.”

The Holla Days are about to bring great fortune to all of you humbugs out there. 

And one present that we’ll have under our tree is the great dj/producer Bird Peterson.

Bird Peterson

Bird has been kind enough to make this Christmas go off without a hitch. Bringing it all the way from Austin texas, this Austinite holds it down when it comes to Producing he’s come forth with several remixes, from work with Ocelot to Wu Tang this white boy goes off. 

When one thinks of hot rhythms, swervin’ basslines, and dance wizardry, the name Bird Peterson surfaces again and again. He is the boy genius who has tickled the hearts of every club, DJ, mixtape, radio show, and blog that he has been in contact with. A true hero, Mr. Peterson is here to remind the world that there are still many fresh and vibrant new acts in dance music, his being of main focus. The so called “Wizard of the Dance Scene”, Mr. Peterson, or Andrew Hoke as he is sometimes known, is a beacon of hope in a world filled with aimless basslines, distorted synths, inproperly used acapellas, and thin kicks. His sound is as majestic as the horse he rode in on, complete with dazzling saddle and urban flintcraw.

Get ready for some of the hottest music santa could bring

Bird Peterson – Shooked.mp3

CRIPPLED is the new style.
So after work I went to Amy’s to visit a friend back from high school, and I was informed that there have been some terrible moped/vespa wrecks this past weekend/week. One of which was Airon (Red Stripe 59), he was hit by a car as he was leaving the Mink Saturday night and broke his Femur— as I was told. I think we started the trend back in June, when two of us at HMH got hit by a car and broke ourselves badly. Seems as though if you own a vespa or moped you’re likely to get hit by something here in Hellston, because people don’t give a fuck. Anyways, Walter’s is hosting a benefit for Airon this Saturday: Free keg, free Amy’s ice cream, auction & raffle for cool shit like 2 hours of tattoo time, and Aaron of Team Science Records will be selling lots of records. With all that being said, you know the drill— all proceeds go to Airon. We feel ya Airon here at HMH, we’ve been through what you’re going through right now.

I think we should have one big party full of crippled people due to vespa/moped crashes. that’d be a hot party lolzzz

yeah!

All aboard!  Perhaps this is a good place to vent.  I’m not sure a great number of people will even read most of this article, which grants me clearance to say whatever the hell I want.  Lo, the bittersweet irony.

To people attending warehouse parties:

Please note that we live there.  Yep.  People live in that warehouse.  Yes, the very one in which you are drunkenly mucking about.  Yes, that refrigerator is home to my victuals.  Yes, the bathroom is the one I use daily.  Yes, that door leads to my room and personal belongings.

I have but three requests:

1. Don’t piss on the seat.  If you do, clean it up.
2. If you don’t know where that door leads, don’t open it.

• I can make an exception in a few cases.  For example, I understand why one girl busted into my room the other night — running away from creepy older men chasing her about.  Really, though I was sick, laying out on my bed waiting for the crowd to leave — we’re cool, I get it.

3.  Understand when we say donation that means pay up, you fucking cheapskates.

• Seriously on this one, you cats get a big fuck you.  Who do you think cleans up your cigarette butts, your half-empty plastic cups, and your piss all over the seat?  You can’t cough up 5 or 10 dollars for the privilege of drinking our beer and pissing all over our bathrooms?  Asshole.

To amateur writers:

You’re crashing my market, son.  There’s a great deal of freelance work available to professional writers — that is people [like me] that write for a living.  However, amateurs –  the bored stay at home parent, the high school kid with nothing to do, the unemployed college grad living at home, etc:  G.T.F.O. The problem is that, you’re willing to write for less money.  If you’re willing to write a few hours for 10 to 30 dollars per article — that’s shit.

I’m not willing to reveal what I make at an hourly rate.  However, as an example, the article you’re reading  [were it not for good friends and if I spent an appropriate amount of time proofreading] should yield at the very minimum $50.  So, you’re working, at best, for about 60% or so of what its worth. Stop taking my jobs, driving down my pay, and eating my ducats.

What’s worse is that the people that are paying you can’t really tell the difference between our work.  Really, its quite a dilemma.  No one speaks proper english, so those dangling participles and sentences ending in prepositions go unchecked.  [Yes, sure -- go ahead and fault me for my use of adverbs to start a sentence and my comma-tacular punctuation in a blog.  However, would you like to compare professional work?]

This is aimed chiefly at freelance copywriting and research positions.  Anyone is welcome to blog for free — but the folks running commercial sites should pay real prices for real work.

A fine example:

Oboulo is accepting submissions of papers on a wide range of topics including literature, history, art, math and sciences, journalism, marketing, law and legal documents, and many more. These documents should be submitted in Arial 12-point font and should include a works cited page. Oboulo also publishes cover letters, resumes, and college and graduate school application essays.

• Compensation: $15 each

The site charges $5 every time someone accesses your article.  If any experienced/trained/educated writers would like to start a little coalition so that we get paid appropriately for our skills — I’m all in.  The Poison Quill Mafia will break knee caps.
