ATD 2009 > ATD 2002
Yeah, I know my blog game’s been poor this week. So what? I gave you a whole mixtape on Sunday. Play that over and over and stare at the lovely sleeve until you feel inclined to spend your next pay check on Don Shoes, why don’t you. There are worse ways to pass the time.
I, for example, have been hanging out in the Passport Office in Victoria. I got a new passport, as you can see above. Well, you can see my new photo above. I’ll be damned if I’m scanning my new passport. How stupid do you think I look? Not as stupid as I did in 2002, that’s how.
Anyway. Passport office. A lot better organised than it was last time I was there. There are men wandering around with fucking guns now! This surprised me, as I am famously naive. “Well, duh,” said Littles when we were talking about it on the phone earlier. “It’s a passport factory! That’s more money than a bank! Man could run up in there with straps and be rich!”
I suppose man could. Me, not so much. I was tempted to steal a magazine in WH Smiths last week. I stood there in the isle, holding the thing (a copy of Future Music, since you asked) for a good four minutes with my pulse racing before I pussied out and out it back on the shelf. My days of crime are far behind me now. I am like George Bush.
Anyway, I have exciting things to tell you about, but I don’t want to jinx them. So I shall bid you a good day, and get back to learning my lines.

That’s possibly some of the best passport facial hair I’ve ever witnessed.

WOW! You could be in Flight of the Conchords with those bad boys, it’s like Elvis’ sideburns on steroids, sideoids? Mungo Jerry never left
Akira the Porn star.
I can’t grow facial hair anyway, at least you can get some to rip, i could shave with a wet flannel.

Hey AtD, re Tupac, the stuff I said came from seeing him often in gang colours and from the depiction given in this fascinating book. Grab it, it’s good!

I actually kind of like that style for 2002, and agree with the sabretooth thing. I’m excited to hear you are working on something and can’t wait for my ears to witness the awesome. I can’t grow sideburns, and working at McDonalds I have to shave every day, but I’m looking for a career change and when I get my demo compiled, recorded, and mastered, I’m gonna submit it to a bunch of studios and try to get a record deal.. wish me break a leg (Cause good luck is bad luck
)
And in case you were wondering, you’ll probably be the first person who isn’t incorperated in the production to recieve a copy (Because I’m such a huge fan of what you do, and have similar aspirations.) It may sound cheesy to you, (I’m expecting you to say “I’m gonna have to give you a flat NO. We don’t want to talk to you people…” I don’t know, but I thinks you’re awesome, am being inspired by your work, and learned a lot about music and how this whole mixtape thing works. My sister came over the other day and told me I am really getting better at what I do, and I think as long as I keep doing my best to get the best at it, I could collaberate with you on something, I think that would be really awesome. I’m sure I’ve still got much to learn, and listening to your work teaches me a good deal about how to do what I want to do. It’s still early in the process, but I’m sure I’m a fucking genius too.. and I’m gonna pull some gangsta shit out of nowhere in the boonies (We call it the big woods, if you ever saw Squidbillies on adult swim, thats this place) in northwest georgia, USA.. (Dade county, we used to be our own state.) Some time in the future, when I get to where I want to be on this thing, I’d like to fly out there and meet up with you about some collaberative work, and ask you to produce my first EP, what do you say?
(I realize this comment is quite long, maybe its the colozapam i took, i feel funny, and don’t want to annoy or bug you, but think I may be, because I’m starting to annoy myself, so please tell me if i am.)

I have also been wondering if someone attending the Joe’s pub event will be filming it, because as much as I would love to attend and witness the awesome, It does not coincide with my budget. So if anyone on here is going and has a camera, would you please record it?

Akira The Don reply on September 24th, 2009 11:27 am:
Not at all brother. I am certain you will so exactly what you say. It takes time, and a great effort, and sacrifice, but if it’s what you really want, and really love, it’s worth it in the end.

Yes! I think its the most awesome thing ever, music is my life (my life used to be a girl I fell in love with but she’s a sociopath and just wanted to fuck with my head (which is really weird because every time she did, it hurt like hell, and just made me stronger, and better)) it’s what keeps me going from day to day, every minute, moment, and hour. Yeah, it’s hard work, but its so fucking fun to do! IMHO the hard work part is getting myself in the financial position to acquire some decent equipment (My friend has a studio, but I would feel better about my work doing it at home at my leisure, rather than only having a couple of hours at his studio.) I don’t have many friends (Because people are shady and just suck.) but the ones I have are the best and so I’m gonna have them all help me with my work. Like my little sis. She isn’t a bad artist, and has some pretty badass ideas about incorporating old tv shows and cartoons into my work (You ever watch Rocko’s Modern Life, or Ren and Stimpy? I love those shows.)
