Okay, wait a minute. They've been hiding the 21st century's answer to Jimi. All he needs is a headband.

EDIT: okay, I just paused Firefly -- yeah -- and watched that whole thing. I want to mail him my life's savings. I haven't been this excited about a musician since I discovered Ben Gibbard had done a previous one-off project.

I KNOW! I KNOW! I was reading my super cool local Seattle arts magazine, and the cover story was about the year's best [local] new music. I had gone through just about all of them, but instead of an interview, article, etc. for all the other artists Reign Wolf's was a comic. I felt it was overdone, maybe even a little overhyped, so I put him off until last.

Damn was I wrong.

Everything the comic showed, while for nearly everyone else would be overhyping, for this guy it didn't even live up to him! This guy.. this guy is pure talent!

And his guitars.. dat pitch black Gibson archtop..

Here's a scan of the comic I took:

I thought "Sacrifice of a strat? Come on, that's ridiculous. And come on, no one sweats that much."

Boy, was I wrong.

I specifically told my friend "this guy is.. better than Jimi Hendrix!"

Jimi Hendrix, Modest Mouse, Pearl Jam, and this guy.. I don't ever want to leave Seattle

EDIT: Sadly, as of this writing, I think the website's down. It should be back up soon though.

I wasn't, but damn. You seem to have had ... several professions.

By the way, what rewatching of Firefly are you on?

user-inactivated  ·  4026 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Train Job.

gordonz88  ·  4025 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah yes, but I meant moreso wether or not this is your first time watching Firefly.

user-inactivated  ·  4025 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh, sorry. Nah.

Then I have but one thing to say:

enjoy it.

EDIT: And don't rush it, it's like the world's most addicting drug, and after you finish? You get withdrawal symptoms for life. And please, don't be the kind of person that goes "we want firefly back!". It's an immature thing to say.. It's been a decade, the actors have moved on. Joss has moved on. In fact, while to some saying this is sacrilege, the truth is the only reason why it's so great was because it was killed in it's most beautiful, most prime. Our image of it is perfect, because it was never soiled. It's crystalized in our mind as the perfect, incorruptible story. Let's keep pit that way. Joss has even said this himself multiple times.

And stay away from the community until you're done. It's a great (well, fairly great. When you don't get new discussion material for a decade, there really isn't much to say. It's really just "hey! Check out this T-Shirt!" or "I got the Blu Ray today!". It's just showing off merchandise. Even the fan fiction has stopped being written) community but there are many many spoilers. Don't spoil it for yourself.

Man, I put too much info in my parentheses.

Oh, ah. One word answers are constantly confusing me, I'm sorry. That, and the word "next" always make a fool out of me.

user-inactivated  ·  4025 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Next.

Toy store in elementary. Book store in high school. Convenience store in college while learning to mix (Pinwheel was mixed at Fairhaven at WWU), nightclubs in college while learning biomechanical engineering, then audiovisual consultant/acoustician while learning screenwriting, location/post sound while writing a novel.

Ain't that atypical, I just tell stories more than most.
