About me
a FAQ for ariel\\\'s dogs
GORDON FAQ:
q: where does gordon like to poop?
a: he is very picky about where he likes to poop. he tends to choose a different area everytime, about a mile away from the house on a walk. sometimes the person walking gordon will be able to suggest spots for him. bear in mind there is no template for a good spot-sometimes the area is grassy, sometimes he like to poop in a bush. mostly, he likes the poop to be out of the way. we think this comes from when he was a young puppy, and the people at the farm where he used to live would throw things at the giant pack of rotweiler puppies when they started to poop somewhere where they could see.
q: why does gordon act like he\\\'s been abused?
a: we\\\'ve been trying to figure that one out forever. ariel\\\'s had him since he was 6 weeks old, and she doesn\\\'t hit animals. probably it has something to do with him being a runt in the litter-all his brothers were big dopey rots, and he has a more slender lab appearance, so he probably got his share of beatings in the womb. he\\\'s mercurial.
q: why does gordon \\"do bitings\\"?
a: we think that\\\'s his nervous response to everything. although, it may have its root from when ariel was in college, living with a bunch of dirty hippies with fleas.
q: why does gordon get \\"stinkface\\"?
a: he likes to diguise himself from bigger dogs. he thinks \\"i\\\'ll just smell like a nice dead bird and nobody\\\'ll know i\\\'m here\\".
q: what are some ways to address gordon?
a: \\"best boy\\" sometimes pronounced \\"bist buwey\\" as in \\"he IS bist buueey\\". \\"speak boy,\\" \\"stink face,\\" \\"peanutbutter eyebrows,\\" \\"dancing peanutbutter,\\" \\"puppycakes,\\" \\"best swimming boy,\\" and \\"a real best boy\\" are also acceptable.
q: why does \\"his lip get all messed up\\"?
a: sometimes, when he\\\'s very focused, like on \\"some fishes\\" or a nice work of art, he\\\'ll close his mouth carelessly and get a hanglip.
q: what are some of the grammamtical subtleties i need to know to communicate with gordon?
a: he can spell, but only a few words like \\"w-a-l-k\\" and \\"l-e-a-s-h\\". also, present tense and third person are usually prefered such as \\"gordon goes to the puppy park\\" and \\"gordon wants a treat\\". however, the grammar is always in dispute.
q: what kinds of music does gordon like?
a: the more off-the-wall, the better. he especially likes conlon nancarrow and karlheinz stockhausen. seriously.
OLIVER FAQ:
q: why is he so goddamn cute?
a: because he has no soul.
q: why doesn\\\'t he have a soul?
a: because he\\\'s so goddamn cute.
q: is he a girl? is he a miniature lassie? OMF HE\\\'S SOOOO CUTE
a: no, kind of, he\\\'s the devil.
q: where does oliver like to poop?
a: in the same spot in the neighbor\\\'s ivy every day.
q: why does he get up all indignant when i sit next to him?
a: because he\\\'s a little bastard.
q: what kinds of music does oliver like?
a: pop music, like kelly clarkson and ashlee simpson.
q: can i pet him?
a: you can try.
q: is he really that cute?
a: you\\\'d want to drop an anvil on him.

don't know if this is any good or not.
don't know if it's done.
opinions are greeted with a freindly grit of the teeth
it has a beat, but the beat sux
lyrics:
la changes at night
in the damp tan light
i am the town
highway takes you from your destination
past cardboard houses with no mailbox
and black burning mountains of tires
look! the midnight city is on fire
the princes in their hedgemaze
of concrete and cocaine
benzedrine and propane
they all know where we're going
highway dinosaurs
slip the ground toward the shore
back to the sea, indeed
up above the atmosphere is rumbling
satellites are falling down like water
ten generals apply for sainthood
look! the midnight city is on fire
like all la film buffs
i see the city blown up
climate change and comets
fires earthquake riot
my city, my midnight city will survive
phantom voices singing on the sidewalk
rounding up apostles for the jury
noah's in the street doing a raindance
look! the midnight city is on fire
upper, lower classes,
under overpasses
running with the masses
running from the fascists
the midnight city
the midnight city
look! the midnight city is on fire
my city
my midnight city
my midnight city will survive

reminds me of elliott smith.
i'd like to hear more instruments playing, real cellos and violins, banjos, accordeons, gambas you name it!
i like the doubling of the voices, gimme more of that - joanna newsom style.
this has potential, good work astroid!

classic Bru.
really like the changes and the thick vocal stacks during verses.
strings are good, but I'd like deeper and creamier strangs. Do you have a Celeste or something that can make Celeste sounds? that would be perfect for this - like along with the xylophone parts.
scottbruzenak.com! wtf? sweet

This is awesome man. Listening on the shitty speakers and it sounds great.
Like the unpredictability of it all, the instrumentation and your voice.
Doubled love. Very 70's.

Nice.
A little more verb on voice, maybe?
It's really close and intimate.
