No Fux Given

Fancy footwork required. 

Honestly, I really just want a blog post on the top of my site to have that title. It should weed out any prospect with ears and a mouth that thinks we have a responsibility to protect our youth from the horrors of the Internet. As my boy Nate would say, I don't want any saps listening to my music. I don't need any self-denying hipsters to comment saying that my use of classic song form is neither groundbreaking nor highly developed. What am I talking about? I'm a hipster and damn proud to say it. (Not that it matters.) I give zero fux! Well actually I do and would be much obliged if all those demographics I slighted earlier picked up my albums of musical musings for 3-10 bucks a pop. Thnx ;)

What a hilarious expression! Anyone substituting 'cks' with an 'x' is just flat out brilliant. Seriously, I giggle every time I say it but only because I envision the letter 'x' snuggling up next to 'f' and 'u' and telling them "I can love you better than 'c,' 'k,' and 's.' Oh and I fuck better too." Then again I can be easily amused.

New music from Pedrodomus (yea that's me) is coming. Consider this the first official announcement after being noncommittal since my noncommittal "Lampshades" release. I will be giving everyone more info on a specific name and date for this upcoming album, but I can tell you this: it is an LP with about 8 tracks ranging from 5-7 minutes long each. There is a lot of me playing guitar and sadly enough singing into a microphone. There are guests and new voices on this album. I am extremely proud and can't wait to share it. Should be sometime in the early stages of 2014.

Hipsters Maturing and Surviving Circa 2012 pt 2

If you’ve listened to Circa Survive before the first thing you’ll notice on Violent Waves is they’re drawn out approach to writing this record. The album starts off with a 7:30 epic titled “Birth of the Economic Hit Man.” A social commentary you might say? Maybe, but I’m not one to dwell on song meanings and lyrics because too often there are many correct interpretations.

Hipsters Maturing and Surviving Circa 2012 pt 1

As recently as last week I heard a friend of mine arguing with a fellow craft beer drinker about why he is not and never was a hipster. We were celebrating a friends birthday at a Manhattan bar and we were obviously not in our right minds. Ales with high alcohol content and cheap shots were being consumed like it was the Aerosmith farewell tour. Every hear a of pickle-back? Me neither but at the time a shot of whiskey chased with pickle juice sounded like a grand idea...
