My dear neglected friends:

I know I've been terrible about keeping this up this summer, but I'm not without excuse. I've been crazy busy with life itself, but on top of that, I start college in a month, and I just recently found out my family's moving to San Antonio. Scary? Yeah. To make things crazier, my computer recently crashed, taking all my music with it. But don't worry, instead of slipping into a deep depression, I'm trying to view it as a fresh start for my musical aspirations. Help me be optimistic. Anyway, m… read more

Hello there. :) I'm back... The trip was amazing, of course. I got a bunch of surfing injuries, a great tan, and I fell in love with the north shore of Kauai. San Diego is my girlfriend, but Hanalei is my soulmate. I guess that makes the Pacific Ocean my true love. Who needs girls? So, back to business. I'd like to say I wrote enough songs while I was gone to fill an album... but that would be a lie. I was too distracted to think about music. I do have a new song in the works, though. Sorta… read more

Hey everybody, I just passed 1000 plays and on my purevolume. :) Thanks soo much to everyone who's listened, and especially everyone who became a fan (66 of you now, awwww... wait, isn't that a bad number...?). I like to think that this sort of thing is the heart and soul of indie music... ordinary kids writing music that people they've never even met might enjoy. Sometimes I imagine going big with this, but to be honest, I don't think it will ever happen. I'm not that ambitious. So, here and… read more
Confessions of a perfectionist.

I did yet another remix. :) The Bestest Song had become my worstest song, so I just had to redo it and make it shine a little more once again, 'cause I think it really is my personal favorite. Not that I pick favorites. But if I did, that would be it. Yeah. I'm tending more and more towards a powerpop-type sound. I still think it's fairly different on the broad spectrum, though. Anyway, check out the new song, let me know what you think, you know the drill. :) read more
Don't you just hate all those old pictures of you?

New song! Sorta... Today, for the first time in ages, I listened to the oldest song I had up on my purevolume ("My Dream"), and I thought I was gonna die. Listening to it brought me more pain than I care to describe. Like having my kidneys removed without an anesthetic. My recording abilities were so primitive back then. So, I decided I had to do a remix. Ladies and gentlement, would you be so kind as to go listen to the remix of My Dream on Angel's Mistake? It's way different. I think you'… read more
How Not To Write A Song.
Posted April 8 | Leave a Comment
I just put a new song up on Angel's Mistake. :) I finished it today, after working on it every weekend for probably two months. The music for this song was born from a single chord progression. I was messing around on the piano one day, and I was like, "Hey, this sounds kinda sweet." I had originally planned for it to be a mainly piano-driven song, but after I rewrote it several times, and re-recorded it twice, the guitars got more spotlight. Oh, and please note the lack of synths. The lyr… read more

I found this on the To Write Love On Her Arms website (http://www.twloha.com/home.php): "I believe that pain is universal, which is to say that all of us can relate to pain. We break and don't fix easy. We break in different ways, at different times, for different reasons. We lose things. We get stuck in moments. We are slow to forgive, slow to change, slow to ask for help. We are slow to truly love people. It is easy to talk about love. Easy to write blogs about it, easy to talk about it on… read more
That last stage dive didn't go so smoothly.

30 fans! Squee. Thanks. :) If you haven't already, be sweet and add me to your favorites, people. Every time I get a new fan, I get a little high on life and feel so special. Plus, if you do, I'll buy you all cars when I'm rich and famous. Because I'm that nice. :) In other news, this new song is finally coming together. I was almost done recording the music when I decided I hated the overall sound, so I redid it from the bottom up in a new key. I'm done with the music, and I've started reco… read more
Angel's Mistake is more popular than Fall Out Boy!

My purevolume hit 500 listens today. :) Thanks, whoever listened! Only 999, 500 more to go and I'll be really happy! No, seriously, I'm happy with this, considering I only started it a few months ago as a surprise for a close friend, and I've only been self-promoting for like 5 days. I didn't actually plan on going public. It's fun. Okay, so, can I make a request? If you've never listened to my music, maybe you could check it out. If you hate it, then never listen to it again, slander me,… read more
