Reflections In A Flubber Room

What you perceive is what it is.

talk about epic story arcs! plus, Twiggy revisited (again)

I just took a few minutes to browse through the archives of this blog and its dormant predecessor, The Moogyblog. It's quite interesting to see how my point of view/mood has swung all over the place. Like how my enthusiasm for moving to NJ went from giddy euphoria to the utter toilet-depths of depressive shittiness. Within the space of a few months! Hell, I even publicly contemplated offing myself. How nutzoid is that? Perspective restored, at least for now.

Incidentally, I've also been listening to the old Twiggy & Frollywog CD again while I've been on the blog tonight. Currently, listening--awestruck--to the frenetic wah-wah drenched freakout ending of "Feel My Groove", and asking myself "was that really me who played that?" That whole virtual Side 1 is one of the most kickass album sides I've listened to in ages, and I was part of it. That was a great album overall, by a great friggin' band. I'm serious. Everyone involved should be proud.

Wow, all this has really brightened my mood, in spite of my headache. A few weeks ago I would have been pushed into the blackest of black moods, mourning those bygone days when I was(n't really) happy. This time, I'm reminded of what I'm capable of when I'm motivated and in a good mood.

Ah, the solo from "Messing Up A Good Thing." It took like several dozen tries to get it right...but boy did I ever get it right! Short, sweet, and possessing a vaguely vocal quality. Like someone weeping while singing. Wow, wow, wow.

"Empty"...one of the most brilliant songs to come out of the Columbus music scene in my opinion.
