"Dylan twins, activate!"

8:23pm

Nick

What's happenin', Zach?

8:35pm
Zach

computer & techno stuff! what's happnin with ya?

i wrote lyrics last night.

8:36pm
Nick

Good! Sorry if it took me a while to apply. Loud music- didn't notice the computer sounds.

I'll trade you some of yours for some of mine in messages.

8:37pm
Zach

yeah dude it's cool i'm looking at all sorts of windows, tabs, and files. not to mention, listening to slightly new music to my ears
aha

ok

8:37pm
Nick

That's cool. I'm still going to send you some, though.

8:37pm
Zach

ok

8:37pm
Nick

Oh. These are confusing messages!

But not for long, MUAAHAHAHA. Deed, kudos on joining the binary rebellion, however brief it was.

8:38pm
Zach

you're welcome

i had to try

8:39pm
Nick

Deed, it was awesome. I think it's hilarious that anybody did it at all, 'cause I thought I'd just look like a jerk with too much time and an attention hunger. But then people gave me attention (hehehehe)!

8:39pm
Zach

so, what i wrote is scanned, and in that photo. i suppose i can transpose it to text, eh?

lololol

i think that must be why lol is such a popular web term

it looks like 1's and 0's

olo

olololoololollollollloollo

8:40pm
Nick

I can read it as it is. But I'll message you some when I'm done typing them.

101

lol101

aka net class.

8:40pm
Zach

yaas

8:43pm

Nick

First song sent.

8:46pm
Nick

And second. The second sucks to me.

8:50pm
Nick

Sent 3 and 4, too. 3 is cool, I think, but I dunno... tell me what you think. 4 Is just kind of for fun- something to shout in lighthearted spite.


8:53pm
Nick

If you don't have feelings, then I don't want 'em/The force is the boss and its power is awesome.

8:54pm
Nick

REMEMBERED WHICH COLORS BROKE THROUGH THE COLD STONE!

Two triangles sharing one base to return to your pupils is cool, too.

Is the "but one exception" line for JP's absence?

9:02pm
Zach

i'm not going to tell on that one

okay i just finished typing it all up. going to read your stuff. running on limited time at the msu computer labs most likely... it is after 9. bah bah sheep underwhichisleep

9:03pm
Nick

Nice. I'm taking that as a "no," though.

9:05pm
Zach

well it's going to mean something different for you, i suppose (would hope)

i wrote it about somebody i care for very much

9:06pm
Nick

Good, good. Yeah, I just worry about that kid a bunch so it's on my head when I see things about missing people.

9:07pm
Zach

yeah. i did think about it though... earlier... about how the way i read it one moment it seemed like i was crunching numbers and it was about me u and brent and yea no jp for a period of time (in the general vicinity, aka within earshot/eyesight)... but he's ok. he's trying to find a job

maybe needs some time. today i didn't want to ride a bike too far, like yesterday (but felt more ill yesterday than today, by FAR)

9:09pm
Nick

Deed, didn't even know you were ill, sorry to hear. You know, I'm not even sure how much stuff we'll really get done by the ninth, but the fact that we're trying and sharing this much at all is gonna keep us working as a unit, I think, which'll be great.

9:10pm

Zach

agreed, deed

the key is going to be... who shows up with recording equipment?

9:11pm
Nick

Well we have instruments, and are probably just going to record onto the tape recorder Brent *borrowed* from LCC last Fall.

9:11pm
Zach

the video on my dad's camera is decent... but it's nothing that's going to be ridiculously captivating unless we're in a really nice room with really nice boom sound

9:11pm
Nick

We're always captivating! People like us being cool with instruments like we do is cool in even the crappiest fidelity.

9:11pm
Zach

do we know anyone outside of US that could stand-by with the recording device and do a good job and contribute equally as anyone else that's doing the playing/singing/music-making?

9:12pm
Nick

Maybe. Depends. Personally, I'm more into solidifying our ability to perform material strongly and knowingly before we get all concerned with recording it. Recording can easily be a cheat code that gets you past having to work on being a strong musician.

9:13pm
Zach

tru. recording is such a feat though. i mean... the PROCESS of it really is very attractive, equally as much as the desired outcome of actually recording something that we can hold with hands happified

good point, Grandeurmasteur

9:13pm
Nick

Please, call me Dave.

9:14pm
Zach

Dave, sir. Sure thing.

9:14pm
Nick

Woman (haha remeeeeember???!?!?!?!!?!?!), I played a decent guitar/organ duet for ten minutes today while playing the organ with my right foot!

It was cool. I think I'm going to record a whole half-joking free jazz album with the Dream Drum, and then constant guitar/foor organ interplay.

9:15pm
Zach

hahahahahaha

Woman, you're thinking without training wheels, now!

9:16pm
Nick

Feet are so underused.... the possibilities are endless.

9:25pm
Zach

i feel the system has us all at odds when the truth is we're even. the likelihood of our reasons to swing like the seasons through uncertain social standings can be demanding but it brings us less demons which can be rather ruthless, depending on which way your babe is balancing on the tracks you've made. and the separation exists for what reason? just this. just fletch flitch and stitch, lie low, lay hay, get grits in your mouth grinning south where it all came about. From a boat to the bank, from your fisherman's plank, from the natural sweepstakes of winning sins that your captors made.

9:27pm
Nick

"Depending on which way your babe is balancing on the tracks you've made" is Gold, Jerry, Gold!

Natural sweepstakes, too!

You're so prolific, dude, I gotta start trying to make even half as much as you do.

9:30pm
Zach

funny, cuz i was thinking a similar thinkbubble. i really like all 4 of your new conditions

9:31pm
Nick

Well shoot, good thing we teamed forces.

9:32pm
Nick

I want to have a crazy live music dance party in a kind of small room that's just FILLED with balloons- helium ones, regular ones, just put all of the budget into balloons and have people dance around and pop 'em like they just don't care. A team of helpers will keep making new balloons as long as possible.

9:34pm
Zach

that's genius

the imaginary visuals are amazing!

9:35pm
Nick

Yeah, man. Especially if we make music that's as happy as balloons for it- that's the part that makes everybody have the best time ever.

9:38pm
Zach

yeah. for sure.

do we have a name for our music projects yet? for example... what would i call the "Artist" that created all of the "chicken_pizza_and_pepperoni_pizza_and_sausage_and_turkey_" recordings?

aka The Ninja Turtle Diet recordigns

9:40pm
Nick

I think that's probably who made that one, honestly. The Ninja Turtle Diet.

9:41pm
Zach

Yep

9:41pm
Nick

What we're TRYING- as a "unit"- to do right now is something that Brent and I have been waiting to do for a long time, called "Girls With Rifles." It needs Joe Fox, too. And JP's gotta come back.

9:42pm
Zach

Yeah i already tagged something with that moniker

actually, it was an icon of a girl, a plus sign, and a rifle icon

9:42pm
Nick

Nice.

9:42pm
Zach

yeah dude. I'm on board. i like the idea of IT

9:43pm
Nick

Like anything good, it's weirdly undefinable but you know exactly what it can be if you be it. At least that's how it is for me.

9:44pm
Zach

mmhmm

9:46pm
Zach

random date, before today, 1988?

and after 1901?

9:47pm
Nick

May 24, 1939.

But it's not random. The year is, but not the date.

9:47pm
Zach

thank you. significance? or is it significant for it's randomness?

ah.

9:48pm
Nick

May 24th is Bob Dylan's birthday. 1939 is probably within five or six years of when he was born (I estimated).

9:48pm
Zach

good job. thanks.... i knew that

41 i believe

cool... we each new part of his bday

9:49pm
Nick

Dylan twins, activate! Form of- white guys with guitars!

9:50pm
Zach

hhhhhhhhhha

9:55pm
Nick

Awesome! Now slap music on it.

9:55pm
Zach

working on it

9:56pm

Nick If you don't have feelings, then I don't want 'em/The force is the boss and its power is awesome.
