Neckdeep.net was launched February 6, 2001 as an online journal and sometime design project. This design amounts to a relaunch after a short hiatus (with Blogger filling in).
Currently based in Portland OR, the site tends to be updated every few days...or when I have time. The name neckdeep was taken from a line in a Converge song entitled, Color Me Blood Red.
I was asked by Andy Jenkins to answer Bend Question #8 over at Bend Press. "How important is music to you and how does it inform your life?" Click here and scroll down the right hand column for my answer.
January 5, 2009 : 3:08pm Years Of Refusal.
The new Morrissey album, Years Of Refusal, has been leaked online (it's official release date is February 23rd) and a friend who will remain nameless has provided me with a copy.
Overall, I'm SUPER impressed. I've spun it more than a few times today and I certainly enjoy the album as a whole. A few of the songs (That's How People Grow Up, All You Need Is Me) have been kicking around for a while, but the others sound fresh and the sound overall is a more 'Southpaw' rock feel. These songs should be amazing live and I certainly hope his current tour makes it out west.
Also, I am constantly excited to hear solid songs from an artist I love plus the fact that he is still releasing music and touring is a gift in itself. Those who compare each new record to his earlier works and / or The Smiths are missing the point.
I don't know of any other band or solo artist who continues to put out solid, listenable, records.
(The above image has nothing to do with the new record, I just wanted to post this photo. Moz driving and Kate Moss?
Gold.)
January 1, 2009 : 9:58am 2009 Shopping List.
I figure that I should start this year with something comical. And if you haven't seen this yet...it's pretty damn good. And catchy.
Bonus: Jizz In My Pants. The new 'Dick In A Box'. Actually, I'm thinking this is even funnier.
