Heard.

     The Helio Sequence is an indie-rock duo from Oregon and they have released most of their stuff on Sub-Pop, so from that alone one could posit they are probably a likable band. My friend Ried Johnson turned me onto them years ago, perhaps in 2004 or five. Back then they sounded akin to Pinback, and I believe they have a tie to the early Modest Mouse albums. Their sound has evolved and with the recent release of their full length, "Negotiations", we have a little over a decade of development and five full-lengths to examine. T.H.S. seems to have opened their sound up a bit, with more ringing guitars and long, tonal wails, as opposed to their earlier, perhaps, lighter and syncopated songs. I get a hint of some Small Brown Bike and maybe a little Appleseed Cast in the background. I'm not sure. I really like Negotiations, however, I want to re-listen to their whole catalog and get a clearer picture of the bands progression.

Safe to assume.

     Although the shame of being a chronic masturbator has its drawbacks, the reassurance that my dick is not hurting from an STD is quite comforting.

     Saw the new Myspace ad on Reddit and tracked down who wrote the song. Myspace still looks pointless. Just like a sideways Facebook with more bullshit. This song is pretty good though.

Stuck for years.

Although I change, I still think the same way.
Although I claim, I still own no stakes.
With every year: time can become more valuable or worthless, the body will ache a little more, and opportunities knock and we live with those we answer or let pass.
Circumstance and perception are reality, even though it might not and probably does not matter. I don't know why I feel the way I do, but most of the time, I agree with everyone, I don't know where the fuck I'm going.
