sick of feeling sorry for myself

on nights when i seem to need sleep the most i find myself up and awake. this is now common place in my life without needles. but onto bigger and better things. i recently watched a few films i feel as though they are worth talking about or at least putting links to for you to download/stream/whatever. and go!

you me and everyone we know : for fans of i heart huckabees
the jacket : good acting, amazing camera work (dude from darjeeling limited)
behind the mask : one of my fav mockumentaries ive seen in a long time

i missed this feeling

is someone in love or do they simply love to be in love? does love even exists? is all the screaming and crying and beautiful music all for nothing? no. ive seen it in your eyes, love is real. terrifyingly real. now onto some music.

Vampire Woman - Demo

this band deserves their own post. i love these dudes with all my heart, my first night in orlando i saw these guys at a house show and was amazed by their performance and heart. they put everything they had into every song and ripped it up so hard it was unreal. bands like this really give me hope for local music scenes (even if its not my own current one) give them a listen and im sure you will enjoy it. emotive hardcore / screamo / grind / awesome.

Vampire Woman - demo

<3!

sorry?

well well well.. its been awhile has it not? lets start things off right with a quick update of my life shall we, since i am writing this we will. since my last post i have moved to orlando, failed at everything but made some amazing friends and moved back. got really hooked on heroin (again) and then went to rehab. since i have been doing quite well and am almost a month clean with no plans on ever picking up a needle again. bravo me. as of late ive signed up for netflix, which might have been the best choice of my entire life, been playing alot of games on steam, a few hours of guitar a day, and i went on a trip to NYC with my parents which was glorious. check out a photo.
wonderful right? i know. i saw in the hights and wicked which were both quite amazing. but enough chit chat about me lets get on to bigger and better things. such as the new bands i cant seem to get enough of, get you mouse ready for some fucking clicking. lets do this.

kickball - abcdefghijkickball!
wonderful music that just puts me in a good mood. think algernon but less happy.

mono - hymn to the immortal wind
instrumental epic to the max! like godspeed meets the godfather soundtrack

yeasayer - all hour cymbals
i cannot seem to get enough of this band. think vocal driven folk style middle eastern music

boys and sex - EP
ex and current members of boy problems, cassilis, snowing, and make me. YEAH!

caveman speak - tell all residents
amazing blend of hiphop and singing with amazing beats. so fucking good

lil wayne - no ceilings mixtape
the newest mixtape from him and his best since the drought 3 in my opinion.

thee oh sees - dog poison
newest release from john dwyers main project so i have to love it. you should too.

red fang - tour ep
these dudes are bringing back thrash metal and in a big way. beer drinking head banging tunes.

the love of everything - superior mold and die
drummer of joan of arc and owner of "record label" bobby burg is the fucking man

hope that holds you over till next time. and please check out my current musical projects via their myspaces: tigers,alive! and bravo max, love mom. thankyou.

if you have an iphone

jailbreak the shit out of it asap with quickpwn.

im sorry but goddamn it makes life so much better. more music and movie and a co-star coming soon i believe, sorry to keep saying it. but stay tuned for more info and such.

also check out one of my many bands new songs we recorded today, i like it, i think you should too. happy music for happy people, or sad people who need to be happy, or just whatever. listen.

videoblog001 - cage leaks, movie news, random rants, woo!

cage - 3 leaked tracks

cage is a member of the defjux crew and also cardboard city, if you dont know that that means its pretty much means he is a big deal in nyc and in the world of underground hiphop. his previous album "hells winter" is a journey through stories and thought. if you like aesop rock, youll like cage. so says i and it must be true.

hangover the movie 

zack g is taking his second try at acting as a main role and i cant fucking wait. his first movie i have  still yet to see but his standup is some of my favorite. enjoy the trailer and check out some of his standup.

where the wild things are 

incase you were not born on this planet, where the wild things are is one of the most loved childrens books ever. i know it was one of mine. back when the grinch stole christmas was in theatures there was a teaser for this move coming up but then the director bailed and the project was dropped as was my hope. a year or so later it starts back up under new direction and i must say this looks like it might be my favorite childrens book turned movie ever.

as far as me, im doing my best. had a rough night but i start work at wink news tomorrow and i could not be more excited. hope you enjoyed the video update and look forward to better ones in the future. production on my first film should be in the next few weeks so stay tuned on more info on that. oh and stop fucking talking about startrek like you are a fan, i watched every episode of deep space nine, voyager, and then some so stop deciding you are now a trekkie cuz you saw one fucking film... christ. i love my nintendo dsi, that is all.

i dont think i have ever introduced myself..

hi there im a clean addict, lover, friend, musician, artist, mac user, kite flyer, record listener, social network obsessor, wes anderson loving, godfree, night walking, ps3 playing, jerk. whose best friend is half way across the world. i am nathan k acevedo and its nice to meet you. on april 25 i overdosed and since have been clean with the exception of cigarettes and this one night i thought it might be funny to drink alone, it wasnt. but all in all im just a guy who probably tries to hard to get people to accept him and never really feels accepted in a crowd of people. with my fits of rage, moments of being disntant, and everything thats in between im lucky to have anyone i can call a friend. ive been a best friend, a lover, a boyfriend, a best man, a manager, and a dissapointment to most who have known me. now is the part where i tell you that im trying to change and you really believe me. you think to yourself, damn that nathan kid has really got his head on straight and i believe he is going to be ok one day. and to that id say, i sure fucking hope so too. not much of a music post but ive been listeing to alot of riceboy sleeps this morning, its a colab between the singer of sigur ros jonsi and his boyfriend alex. its mellow and thats the mood i am in so it fits. 

Riceboy Sleeps - selftitled

more words, more music, less video, more heart.

im sorry but there has something that has been on my mind for hours and i have to make it heard. I find it funny how bands that used to be so good can get so fucking bad.

**insert band name here**

you know it, i know it. fuck its a sad thing when bands break up but at least that means they cant come out with a shit record after they have peaked. if ampere decided to come out with a pop album and go against everything they stood for tomorrow would anyone notice or would we all look the other way and just say they had a differ of musical opinion and accept it. no. fuck no. although the thought of ampere doing the pop music thing might be amazing still you get the idea. there are these bands stand for something that when we grow up listening to and we worship, we plan on getting them tattooed on our body, we know every fucking song by heart and when we are too young to go to the shows every time they come to our state a little part of us dies inside. then we grow up or the bands break up or they change their style. lets take daughers, their previous project as the suns sets was one of my favorites and the daughts self titled 7inch remains to be one of my favorite musical releases to date (althought i now regret giving it to a so called friend, neither here nor there) but after releasing a badass demo and an even more killer full length the "decide that screaming is too popular and they wanna sing in drawn out rumbles like an old man calling bingo numbers whos had too many bloody marries. i mean WHAT?! screaming is now too popular so we wont do it anymore? fuck that. when i first got into music i had no idea what i was getting myself into, my first real show was jiyuna, the anchorite four, the holy mountain, and horse the band, it blew my fucking mind. i had no idea, and there was no turning back. when i joined blue skies over headlights the then later we'll dance like ghosts on rooftops and i would see kids come to shows just to see us or even bands start because of us i did not once think, "hey fuck we are getting trendy lets fucking bail" we screamed till we couldnt breath and then some, we were boys, we were growing up and learning love the hard fucking way and we wanted everyone within ears reach to fucking hear it. it didnt matter how many myspace hits we got, or if we got on a fucking label or anything, we did it because we fucking loved it and it died because we grew up, not because it became twisted into something mangled no longer representing its original form like i see so many times these days. i honestly feel bad for those old dudes who got metallica tattoos back in the day and were like "METAL FOREVER" or better yeah the dudes with the blink182 tattoos that now see the gods they once worshiped apart of something they would never have imagined. what am i saying? what’s the fucking point to all of this? good music should either burn out or explode, never change its values for popularity, and never under any circumstance change for anything other than that they fucking want to. maybe that makes me a fool, maybe not. but if you listen to old daughers then pop in their most recent release you will see what im saying. same with the locust, the number12, and countless other bands. change can be good, fuck i loved it when thee oh sees changed from john dwyers solo weird lofi shit to a full band but that doesn’t mean every time a fucking band changes its good. i just miss when music meant something more to me, when a song could make me cry, and when i could play a song that made others cry. music is everything people, so stop fucking it up.

maybe this is me just being upset about life or maybe im just looking back at how things used to be, where the shows were about fucking music and emotions and fellowship. not getting wasted and being more punk rock than the others. i hate it when i see something that was once so beautiful twisted, as far as my own towns concerned. people i once called "friend" who cant look me in the eye, its my fault, i am apart to blame for this machine that is runing downhill. i will be the first to admit ive made my share of mistakes and ive done my wrong, but fuck there needs to be a change. fuck elitism, live your life to the fullest, and play music with everythig you fucking have inside you, who cares if its in tune, if anyone is watching, or if you ever get anywhere. my name is nathan acevedo and i am a recovering heroin addict.

here is a few bands ive been listening to recently while not playing pokemon or jailbreaking my iphone and trying my best not to make it explode.

Parabstruse - Back and Forth EP

this one man band does some of the most amazing instermental music around, he releases all his stuff for free via his myspace so look him up, you might also enjoy some of his other side projects that are pretty insane.

clues - selftitled

one half the unicorns, on ex the arcade fire. need i fucking say more. amazing.

mum - finally we are no one

this is one of those cds that i have just enjoyed for years. something that i have no matter what kept it in my ipod at all times regardless of needing to clean out old albums. mum is minamalistic icelandic (sp?) glory with a female vocalst that sounds like an old woman mixed with a young girl, cant get much better than that id say.

barkbarkbark - noose and a fire ep

this was when one of my all time favorite bands decided to break up and become a solo project, one of his first releases jaccob cooper released under his new adopted name was the noose and a fire ep, it wasnt much in comparassion to the old stuff but you see what he was going for. ironically enough i was going to get a barkbarkbark tattoo right before they decided to change musical sounds and directions, ironic to this post no?

Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan - Pullhair Rubeye (Forward)

frontman of the much beloved by me animal collective and his wife the singer for mum decided to do a musical colab and release the entire album in reverse, this is a fan verson where they switched it and made it play forward which i enjoy alot more. i love this release alot.

daughers - selftitled 7" 

just so you can understand the power this band once had and how they could thow it all away because of a fear of being seen as "too trendy" fuck egos.

park ranger barkwood - we are not brothers 

two nice dudes from orlando that i recently saw at house of cats playing 90s style emo/screamo stuff but with a twist. sloppy but powerful and gets the point across, great live!

mount eerir - white stag

i am going to have to go against almost all my friends in saying this but before seeing him live i was not a fan of Phil Elverum or his previous band the microphones. but once i saw him live it all made sence to me. this is his newest release and i cant get enough of it.

i hope you enjoyed a few of the cds i shared, no covers anymore because im lazy but i hope to get the whole video thing up and working. also if you would like a copy of my script that me and my friends will be filming that i wrote and will direct shoot me an email. thanks <3!

a new start!

after a recent near death expirence i have decided to change alot of things in my life, this being one of them.  while i have slacking as far as music updates go i have decided to take a new route for this form self expression. instead of the daily (or weekly, or whatrever) music posts i make with a single albulm and a review followed by a download lnk, i will be making a weekly video post with what going on in my life. current events, movies, and ofcourse musis. instead of a single album each day i will post about an artist or multiple artists and put up their entire discography or atleast as many cd by them as i can find, also movie trailer for movies i am excited about or torrent links to movies i already love and enjoy. this will less of a free music download blog and more pf a personal/freemusic/freemovie/upcomingmovies/whateverthefuckiwant blog. i think it will be a good idea and something i hope alot of people i will get more from. i plan on updating from different locations from time to time and maybe even have a guest along with me now anf again. but to hold you over till i get these gears a rolling here is a link to the song that i have had in my head for weeks now and im sure you will enjoy it.  Cage - I Never Got to Know You i really think this will be hte best cd of 2009.

with me luck, i know i fucking need it.

Mi Ami - watersports

when i heard two memebers of black eyes started a new project i was excited from the start. the newest release of the san fan trio mi ami is watersports and it standsup to all my expectations on what any ex members of black eyes group could throw out. drawn out melodies with rythemic drums and the classic black eyes squeelish vocals over it all. amazing, simply amazing.

mi ami - watersports

the number 12 looks like you - put on your rosy red glasses

this is a throwback classic, one of those bands that you loved so hard then every cd they came out with after this one just got worse and worse and their most recent sounds nothing like this and really makes me wanan die a little bit inside. number 12 looks like you is one of those bands that had something really good going for them, they had insane guitar tech parts, really good vocalist duo, and and overall good sound but nothing good lasts forever i suppose. this is their first full length release and their best to date. its all downhill from here so enjoy this one. 

the number 12 looks like you - put on your rosy red glasses
