2 colds. Not one, TWO. The first was fever madness where I spent my time convalescing in bed, sweating while eating roast beef sandwiches, and catching up on Grey’s, suffice to say it could have been worse. What I have now is a sore throat moved to sinuses moved to chest head achey sneezy monster that WONT GO AWAY. CAN I PLEASE STOP COUGHING?. CAN I PLEASE GET A FULL NIGHTS SLEEP?

…. Oh and I have eczema on my hand, but that’s my fault

get antibiotics. i know you shouldn’t get them for every cold, but i had the swine (i think) and then a brutal sinus-y thing that turned into a totally wretched cough, back into a runny nose/cough. antibiotics cleared me right up. in two doses.

and for eczema, you can try to up your omega 3’s. sometimes flax oil helps.

two of the better things in life together again! daniel danger and aloha!

can’t wait for this release.

Ever wonder what the Sun sounds like?

Asteroseismology records the frequencies which a star pulsates at and uses those frequencies to study the internal structure of the star. Those frequencies can be turned into actual sound. This mp3 is of the Sun’s pulsations. Turn your bass up and have a listen!

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard.

polar bear club has become this weird little entity within the punk world where lots of kids love them (for reasons unknown to me) but they remain a bands-band and put out some of the best rock music these days.

and yes, i think just the tag “rock” suits them well, lately.

i totally did not dig this band til they got huge. i probably have a funny tape from high school floating around of jimmy’s old bands.. i wonder if those would go on ebay for some $$$$!? j/k j/k.

honestly, i love everything theyve done, every member. tamiroff, achilles, old PBC. my old band was lucky enough to play PBCs first show on a tour in Rochester. even then i knew they had something going on.

what was the name of your old band? as for old bands, i’m talkin’ high motha’fuckin’ school. fedde. struck 92. breaking project. shoepillow. probably no one on tumblr knows those bands.. so funny.

FAIRPORT TEEN CENTER!!!!!!!!!

I know all of those bands… hah. I almost forgot about shoepillow until you just mentioned them. Fedde was awesome. So was Struck 92. I saw the last Breaking Project show, also very epic. Those were the days… Remember when Unsung Zeros played the teen center? That was probably the biggest band to come through there.

or bandnew? i remember the unsung zeros! and the sloppy meat eaters. holy smokes, taking it back..

mathematiques modernes - manekine (feat. henry flesh)

so into this band. they were around from 81 - 83 or something like that, and were sort of a cross between cold wave and new wave (same idea i guess..) at this point, i’ve been able to dig up a song via a comp “so young, but so cold”, one through shawn brackbill’s november 09 mix, and another comp. that amounts to three songs. they are all so incredibly awesome.. can you help me find more?
