well………. it begins………
We released Elderberry Wine <333333 more soon hehe
We also played Colbert and ya’ll…. I was sick as a fucking DOG when we recorded this (we taped it on May 1st which is how most of the band was in Winston-Salem playing with MJ Lenderman on the night it came out).
I had a cold AND allergies AND was on my fuckingggggg period when we recorded that bitch…. and considering all that I think it turned out a-okay!
That shit was nerve wracking tho tell you what….. especially cause that song is so much more reserved than our other shit it was daunting to not be able to like totally let loose on something. I love Colbert too so I was like …. hello king!!!!!! starstruck
The filming of the Elderberry music video was so fucking epic………. It’s at the bar that my dad’s been frequenting for like 30 years. They were so hospitable to us <3
We had an open bar tab for everyone at the shoot when it started at 10am and by 12 pm everyone was fucking SMASHEDDDDDD. We worked until like 9pm that day so it was a very long very drunk day.
Special shout out to John who was in the video and unfortunately passed away on May 12th, I’m so glad his memory will live on in this video. Alan and Xandy especially were chilling with John and playing cards the day of the video shoot and he was just like an immediate homies. <3 Pour one out for him ya’ll!
also gotta shout out the Grimsley hat which I have had FOREVER but has been making the rounds in my wardrobe recently…. here is a picture of me wearing it when I was a freshman in highschool….. why do I look exactly the fuckin same…… also yes that is a blackberry phone…. and Sperry’s on my gd feet hahah<3
Ummmmm I got two clothing items this month, both when I visited NYC at the store Lara Koleji <3
This bangin ass Diesel button up (the epaulets!!!). I’m obsessed with the Pegasus print on the back too.
I also got these Vivienne Westwood sunnies. I only got one other pair of sunglasses and they don’t go with most stuff I got cause they’re brown tinted and I dont hardly ever wear brown. This pair is like army green… which is kinda a neutral… idk I feel llike they’ll go with everything I need em to
Here’s my psychical media haul for the month
I actually got Run Lola Run last month, but I didn’t feel like retaking the pic so there she is again.
Charlies Angels… classic.
Green Room and Grudge are both scary movies. I think i’ve seen Green Room but it’s been a minute and I have a terrible memory so it’ll kinda be like watching it for the first time when I throw it in the player.
Already been reading and loving Double Bird!
A few pages into Barry Hannah’s Geronimo Rex, too early to say how he ranks among my other fave southern writers.
I haven’t read the Shirley Jackson but I love her so I’ll probably love it but we’ll see!
In other news I went to Stud Country Line Dancing in NYC this month and was obsesssssed with the cutie community they have there. If ur gay as hell and love country music and are interested in line dancing I highly recommend you check it out! They have classes/dancing in a few cities, I know SF, LA, NYC and Nashville for sure.
It’s intimidating at first but very forgiving so even if u don’t got experience dancing I still recommend.
new tummy tattttt by @yourmomhatesyourtattoos
got a new webcam…. photo shoot tyme
Cd haulllllll!! Got these at Static Age in Asheville and Play It Again in Valdese, NC ff exit 111.
Earth, Pavement, Uncle Tupelo, Red House Painters, and some mysterious Yo La Tengo CD im not sure exactly what it is…. excited to find out. I hope its a live bootleg or somn.
I think that’s p much it for now!! Thanks for all the support on the new song. The one coming out next is one of my faves I’ve ever written. I’ll see ya there if ur holdin’ on.
