Assaulted In My Sleep!

Bang!

So I wake up around 8ish to a cacophony of muscular discord in my back, just behind my left shoulder.  Sort of like:

- I was doing Yoga in my sleep, and fucked up really bad.

- I was in some sort of multi-gang brawl and bludgeoned with 2X4 from that dilapidated church down the street.

- Tiny little people are waging war against one another, using my muscles for some sort of makeshift trenches

Point being it's pretty fucking bizarre.

So our Music Workshop encompassed all of class yesterday: no vampire sketch just yet.  But, all in all the Workshop was helpful for sure, and my comedic musical-proclivities will find new breadth, a renewed vigor and focus.  Now that I've got a template down  I can circumvent my pathetic lack of Music Theory knowledge.

So, before I journeyed off to sleep last night, I'm reading Adbusters.  You can laugh, or maybe you're a fan, I'm an intermittent reader and do admittedly enjoy the periodical for the most part (the messages get a smidge repetitive) but it's Goddamn Depressing to read, and NOT  I repeat not for the content.  There's an underlying malaise or sanctimoniousness akin to some White-Dude-With-Dreads in his early to mid-20's pontificating on every political/globalized subject under the sun austerity about it that irks me.  You know the kid: the sad sack who couldn't bring himself to laugh at that rollerblader who fell down over the broken mailbox, because people are suffering in Darfur.  And I'm not being irreverent or insensitive to any genocide or culture under oppression, but the only way I can function in this day and age is to extricate myself -- to an extent -- from the myriad of depressing fodder out there sodden with the portents of a 1000 potentially bleak future outcomes.  I'd actually love to hangout with the Adbusters staff for a week to be proven right/wrong, make some friends/enemies/frienemies/future make-out partners.  Maybe if Adbusters accepts a contribution from me (within the week) I'll change my tune ;-)

The Music: My Bloody Valentine 'Loveless' (someone really really really really needs to fucking remaster this album, please, it sounds terrible for being such a sonic achievement)
