This is one of my favorite holidays. I think take this opportunity to update a running post.(This is one of those posts that has morphing potential [items, sentences, etc. taken away or added, as music continues to shape our ears and shape itself with each passing month, week, day, album, song, note...].)As of 11/23/05, and still needing to hear MANY albums released this year,Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09004304864675784011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609313.post-1132129376930794662005-11-16T00:20:00.000-08:002005-11-16T00:29:00.870-08:00Half-assed procuction + half-assed composing = the new Project 86 cd.(I'm not sure how long my period of mourning should be, but I'm still wearing black everyday).Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09004304864675784011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609313.post-1123972511371629012005-09-17T15:23:00.000-07:002005-11-16T00:27:08.800-08:00I've been hemming and hawing about writing my Cornerstone Report post for over two months now. And it is because I believe that no one really gives a shit about what I have to say. At least on this blog, anyway. Take this as an insult if you want, and honestly evaluate yourself if you try to read it if/when I post it, but I don't know WHO CARES about this stuff. As far as I am aware, anyone who Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09004304864675784011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609313.post-1121127343019981952005-07-11T17:07:00.000-07:002005-07-29T10:50:24.726-07:00This Aardvark will never die. It will rise and rise and rise again - a lesson it learned from the Pheonix. The Aardvark of Freedom will cast off the foolish dreams of younger years, and adorn itself with the foolish dreams of today. My primary spill-my-guts-to-the-world blog will remain Hardcore Poetic, but the Aardvark of Freedom will become a blog dedicated to the arts that I love.

This is because I always have a very long post-cornerstone post and I'd like to give it some build-up this time.Shows I WILL NOT miss unless there is a tornado AND an earthquake: The Myriad - Their new album is amazing. Their show last year was solid, and I think they could have only gotten better.Emery - They were, hands down, the best show I saw last year,Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09004304864675784011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609313.post-1125977333808774052005-03-17T20:25:00.000-08:002005-11-23T23:48:50.176-08:00Ok, it's a little late this year, but I have my top ten albums of 2004. Naturally, this is a completely subjective list, but at least it remains uninfluenced by sales, radio, etc. The more bands and cds I gain an interest in, the more difficult this list becomes to formulate - I ended-up with a 4-way tie for 10th place. So I've decided to extend it into a top fifteen.

Mostly, it is dragged by Hardcore Poetics and The Blind Seeker. But, Operation Monkey-Lovin and Whispering the Muse keep resurging and there are faint pulses of life at the other blogs. The people behind them still live and breathe, but for now it is really just Ben and I who make the Aardvark talk. So come, sit at our feet and learn.

Perhaps you have done this out of curiosity, perhaps out of whimsy, perhaps you want us to fix all thats wrong with your life, perhaps you hate Aardvarks. Whatever your reason, please know that we are not here to indoctrinate you into a TV-dazed urban-speak clone like half the children on these blog things.

This is only a test. In the event of a real emergency, the Aardvark of Freedom will be here to confirm that your fears are real. Nothing is what it seems. Your rescue is not in the lies of our commercial culture or in the bonds of conformity. It's time to grow up and be real.
