Yet another Blogventure
My band Last Known Settlers just launched a website. You can find it here. You can enjoy our tunes via Muxtape here. I threw all of it together in like an hour, not so bad, right? This is why I love the internets. It makes it easy to make more internets so it’s like continuously exploding all over itself. Very messy. Anyway we’ll be playing a show on Saturday night - 8pm at the Delancey (Delancey btwn Clinton and Attorney). Some come out if you are around. If not, just know you’ll be missing the GREATEST NIGHT ROCK AND ROLL HAS EVER SEEN. Jk jk jk It’ll be like the second greatest night. The first greatest night was when the Hoff sang on top of the Berlin Wall.
Also writer’s block. I kind of have it. It is problematic. I’m not sure if I have to relax or if I have to like get angry. Sometimes I write better when I’m filled with rage. No idea, it’s just like that. So quick, someone, make me angry. HURRY!
Very cool on the music stuff Annie! I especially like the streamlined mp3 player, although it wouldn’t let me buy your mp3 from muxtape.
Good luck with your writing, try this: Hoff is a little bitch, the Berlin wall is a little bitch, in fact, all those who like the Hoff, or Berlin for that matter, are all little bitches. Hope that helps.
“Get mad, you sons of bitches!”
I suggest you rent Glengarry Glen Ross (one of my favorite movies ever) and skip to the “motivational speech” that Alec Baldwin tears down his sales team with. It’ll either motivate you to kick some ass or send you shriveled up under the bed.
@ ms. Bizarro: That scene flippin rocks!
Let’s see if this makes you angry enough.
I was quite curious about your band webiste, but it is only another blog, not a proper website, like one of those cool website with lots of stuff like lyrics, band pictures, a bio, some fan zone, some clips from your songs and so on. Really disappointing. Then I went to the muxtape and clicked on the buymp3 link but when you go to amazon you cannot buy anything because your band tracks are not there. Not that I was going to buy them but….
P.S. the songs are great, I downloaded a couple of them from Myspace. I hope that when I visit NY you have a gig so I can go. Sorry I tried to be nasty but I can deny liking your band.

Well, it’s not actually my idea. I have to credit Hegel.
waitstaff at spring st
and btw, you know who is WRONG WRONG WRONG about the new chaps
lets see, more for anger…
kitty?
fantasiamayaangelou
you play the xylophone right (is that how it’s spelt?)_…but i can’t hear the xylophone in those clips…
Arrigato for the post!
did that work?
this one’s for Fly… listen to the beginning of North Pacific. Annie rocks it big time. And then… she totally rocks your world as the holy crap this girl is awesome backup vocals on the chorus. Annie rocks my world;). If I could hold up a lighter right now, I would. But I guess the ‘kids’ are just holding up the cell phones these days. Damn kids.
Your apt is being converted into a duplex
Sunday’s Blog Header….Writers Block Misterously Disappears. Those present attribute it to the timing of Last Known Settlers live debut of first song that not only features Annie’s area code, but also her full zip code, social-security number, and list of several things that make her angry. kill’a with fill’a.
Ramon: It’ll be available on Amazon/iTunes all that crap soon.
Ms. Biz: YES I love that movie!
Pedro: The problem is that the site DOES suck so it’s like you’re not making me angry, just like telling the truth.
Renato: You probably could’ve just said Vin Diesel to get me upset. The granny really had nothing to do with it.
Aura: That just made me depressed. I totally forgot about Hegel. OMG. I’m getting doucheflashbacks.
Fly: The ‘bass’ sound is coming from the keys and you can hear bells/xylophone on North Pacific. We have other songs that use bells but we didnt’ record them because we didn’t have money. hahah so sad.
Jason: No. God you guys suck at this.
Erin: Everytime I want to come down to the shop you are not there. That makes me angry. But not enough to blow through the block.
Bryan: OMG that’d be my dream.
Jon: Maybe I just have to rock out really hard so I can start writing again.
annie: i kno rocking out hard improves u’r Wii Guitar Hero score, but i don’t see why it can’t help launch u’r writers comeback tour too. solid gold!
hahaha…i hear it!…the last time i kinda gave up after the first ‘way out’ song … ^_^
W.G. Sebald.
Wait. You haven’t read Sebald? Are you even a human being?
Aura’s back!
oh Rt, you warm the cockles of my dead black heart.
I was trying to remember what the line that guy pulled out was that made annie slap him and I couldn’t remember…help?
Oh yeah, that’s right … something about post-modernism? or existentialism? … no it was something better than that….
The best part of the whole thing is that Annie actually slapped him in class. Hilarious.
RT & Aura: I did not SLAP him I smacked him on the arm in a sisterly way, as if to say, listen, you need to shut your facehole. And the line was something about post-modern theory. Ugh. I’m getting douchebacks.
Oh come on, you totally slapped him. At least in the version of the story I tell. Which is, like, way better than your version of the story. I mean, “so then Annie smacked him on the arm in a sisterly way”?? NOT badass. Not funny. “So then Annie smacked him” pretty good. “So then Annie threw a drink in his face”…getting better. “so then Annie clocked him one with her brass knuckles”…THAT’s more like it. Yeah. It was something about the other guy trying to impose his post-modernist construct onto the story or some bullshit doucheness like that. Speaking of douchiness, there are some people I’d like you to slap for me, choias. In return, I’ll sic Kitty on whomever you like.
RT, what are you doing in Minnesota? Didn’t we tell you the winters there suck and Annie and I don’t live there? Move home!!!
And btw, where’s smarsh at in all this? She should be weighing in here. Probably she’s doing something Professorial and Kansan. I hate Kansass. And Minnesota. And California. Those three states keep stealing my friends.
I like that in one of Aura’s versions of the story, Annie has a drink in class. Preferably a cocktail of some sort. Or like scotch on the rocks. Or a pint of Guiness. Yes, she threw her pint of Guiness in his face in class.
Aura and RT: You guys are writers? WHERE ARE YOUR FACTS? Good gravy.
For this story I’m going by the rules of the Slouka school of nonfiction. You know, facts are great, but if you can think of something better, go for it. Also known as the James Frey method. Or the Jayson Blair framework for nonfiction writers. Or the Stephen Glass rules for nonfiction writers.
