When I recorded the vocals for this song, I was staying with the Kirby's in downtown Chattanooga. The music was recorded in Waco right before I left in August of 2006. That autumn was a really weird time for me, and it's been kind of weird ever since. I came back, which is something I've never done before. I'm used to leaving. I honestly can't say which one is weirder. Sometimes I miss friends in Waco like crazy even though I really like a lot of the people I'm getting to know here. I just wish the getting to know could happen more quickly. Anyway, this song is a bit about getting to know and trying new ways. I believe I recorded these vocals through a pair of headphones. Lyrics: Last few years you had been good for you, Cocoon Boy. Forgive me, but what about insides out your open mouth? Scripted themes in sync with words distinct. It's genetic mess. Makes sense, I guess. Forgive me, Cocoon Boy. What about spilling insides out your open mouth? Sing through awkward interludes. Play a long and stupid tune. Have your demons dance on cue. Oh, tired of it. The last few years were good, mind you. It hasn't changed a bit, albeit lessons learned (x2). We sleep into the afternoons--awake a shape we never knew. Break the spell, and kill the news. Mothers teach, daughters renew. Fathers speak, and sons undo. Spirit, teach us to commune.

I just watched Home Alone at the Bijou. It was alright. I would rather watch friends absolutely ruling at music, though. 12:53 AM Monday, November 26, 2007 Here's a little video Robert recorded a while back when we had a show at our house. Shinobu, I Sing the Body Electric, and the Chattanooga Police all did their thing that night. The Rummage followed by a Quaid cover. 2:26 PM Tuesday, November 20, 2007 Hey.

Labels: music 12:45 AMFriday, October 12, 2007 It's late. I'm awake missing old friends. Yesterday it got chilly. Today was hoodie weather, for sure, and I remembered how much I love Autumn. It fits when I'm thinking, when I'm sad, when I'm grateful, when I'm asleep, when I'm doing things. I played a show tonight (Thursday). It was one of my favorites that I've done since being here in Chattanooga. Chattanooga. Does it fit? Places are hard to get used to. Jessie and I are pretty much jobless (aside from the graphic design thats been keeping me from going under). It's been really nice being able to spend time with Jessie during the week when she would normally be at work. The best part is she'll be visiting Waco with me next week. This is both dope and fresh. Pinback has some good songs. I turn pictures of old surgical manuals into photoshop brushes and use them as background textures in generic-looking advertisements. What do you do?

I don't usually like a lot of effects on the vocals... Not It And here are a couple of instrumental jams I made for Pulaski High Blanks. Really it's just 2 versions of the same song: Pulaski 1 Pulaski 2 Labels: music 5:01 PMFriday, July 20, 2007 The news: I am doing graphic design for a bit of money. It's been alright, and I've definitely been getting better with all the photoshop stuff. I also finally got some work through the temp agency I've been "working for" the last couple of months. Niiiiiice! ethan durelle is on tour and will be playing here in Chattanooga on August 1st. Come and see them, Thee Something Brothers, Wednesday, May 30, 2007 I started doing temp work yesterday. It was very easy/boring, but the time went by pretty quickly, so that's great. Bad part is I finished all the work I was supposed to do yesterday and today by 3 of the clock yesterday, so I worked myself out of a job. Too bad I didn't take longer to do the same amount of work. I could have got paid twice as much. At the recommendation of my brother, Zellyn, I've been reading this: Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby It's a programming language, so watch out. If you don't care, at least check out the soundtrack. SERIOUSLY! DO IT!! 6:32 PM Wednesday, May 23, 2007 Monday is a school day, but that's okay. At least we don't have to go to work everyday. - Rappers Delight Club Labels: music 12:54 PMTuesday, May 22, 2007 Matt Green has new songs on myspace. Labels: music 2:45 PMMonday, May 21, 2007 I just went for an assessment and interview with an office job placement company. Looks like I'm a temp worker now. Just got Talks to the Dark in the mail. Try not to talk to me for the next hour. I'm really busy. [edit] I love good things. 1:23 PM Wednesday, May 09, 2007 video and music by c. 5:03 PM Friday, April 13, 2007 Ethan Durelle has some new songs up from their upcoming album, Talks to the Dark. I can't wait for this album to hit the streets, travel the 1000 some odd miles to Chattanooga, and then slam into my face and/or ear holes. YES!!!!!!!!!! 1 extra song is up on the Esotype records myspace, as well. Labels: music 11:40 AMFriday, April 06, 2007 Ever since I have known of its existence, I've found the Turducken to be a rather hilarious and intriguing food item. What do you think? (Turns out Turducken is/was also a record label that put out a 7" by The Causey Way, the only New Testament Wave band that I know of.) 5:15 PM Wednesday, March 21, 2007 Data sings. Labels: music 10:37 PMThursday, March 01, 2007 So, I've been working on some music for a new project with Seth Worley and it has been rather fun. When all the music is completely finished I'll probably put some on this here site for you to listen to. One of those jams is up on the old myspace page if you'd like to give it a listen. I've watched every episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Now what do I do? 8:43 PM Thursday, February 01, 2007 It snowed quite a bit last night. I walked to work at 6:30 through fresh snow. Weird. Cody Ground (of Loxsly, Battlecat, and original drummer for Math Minor) did a cover of a Reeve song. Listen to it here: Foodweb 12:28 PM Wednesday, January 31, 2007 Break Beat Recipe This video is too good. 6:21 PM Tuesday, January 23, 2007 Reeve is 25 as of Sunday. Here's what happened: Slept in. Went to McKay and got these dope albums with my McKay credit: They Might Be Giants - Apollo 18 (nice!) They Might Be Giants - John Henry (niiice!) The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse (you heard me) Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fear (niiiiiiice!) Went to Guitar Center and messed with the MPCs (please?). Had some cuddies over for cheese snacks. Jessie got me a sweet cookie cake decorated like a quarter. She tried to draw an orange beard on that guy on the quarter, but it looked kind of like the guy was puking sick orange mess. The cake also featured the words "In Reeve We Trust" in an arch over the top. Sacrilicious! Couldn't believe this one, but Beth (my roommate) thought it would be a good idea to get me a computer, so she went in with her parents and they got me a new laptop. Crazy. I couldn't believe it. When it was still wrapped and on the table I thought it might be Apples to Apples Crate Edition. Not so, my friends. Not so. I've kind of wanted my own computer for years, but I've never really had one (aside from the p33nz [thanks c]). Now I've got one that is small, quiet, lovely. I don't know much about a computa... Robert Parker, old school cudro and newest resident of Beck Manor, downloaded a bazillion Damien Jurado albums for a brother. NICE! Oh man. Does ol' Damien have a bad song? Seriously, does he? Tell me if you know that he does, cause I need to know. Yesterday (celebrating the day after Reeve's b-day) I hung out pretty much all day with Jessie. We went to Mitch and Elizabeth's farm in Chickamauga and walked all around there with Jessie's puppy (Jessie got a puppy). Good times. 9:59 PM Tuesday, January 09, 2007 From my house to work (leisurely): bike: 10 min walk: 35 min drive: ? min Jessie helped me pick out some very awesome new sheets since the ones I bought a few days back turned out to be gross, shiny metallic looking sickness when I took them out of the wrapping. My new bed is wicked. I also got a new jacket that is perfect. Jealous? The Good Players are finally playing a show or 2 in town. Niiice!! 7:54 PM Thursday, January 04, 2007 3 things. New House - Beth Kirby and I moved a little stuff over to our new house yesterday. Today we will move more things. Becky was very kind getting both Beth and I mattresses (matrices?) for the new house. Hooray. Kil Haole Day - you need to click here and listen to this music. Also, check out Charles Allison while you're at it. Mew - For real, watch this video: Am I Wry?. Well, listen to the audio, anyway. [edit 23/1/07: Kil Haole Day, not Kill Howie Day (although I'm sure some people might like to)] 12:45 PM Wednesday, December 20, 2006 One time Tim Carter and I went to a Turtle Touch show in this giant cave. Tim snuck his mini-disc recorder in, and we got a sample of their hit song: Turtle Touch Michael Roddy and I are not moving into a house together. His financial situation will not permit it at the moment. Turns out it'll be Beth Kirby and me. We signed a lease yesterday for a nice, old house in North Chattanooga. As soon as I get back from Waco, I'll move my stuff from the Kirby's to my new house. 12:34 PM It's late and I need to go to bed. I'm flying to Waco tommorrow to spend the holidays with my family. Last time we were all together, someone got married! I wonder what's going to happen this time? Sleepy... But first, here go some songs live from Beepcon06: Shortbread Tell the Story Talk to the Walls We've Had Time Honestly, the performance here is not so great. Just pretend it sounded a ton better in concert. I tried to choose mostly music I don't have recorded. Thanks to whoever recorded this stuff. Frugalpole? Was it you? 12:47 AM Tuesday, December 19, 2006 Hmmmm... Two of the few unique bands that exist in the world, Joy Electric and Starflyer 59, are headed by brothers Ronnie and Jason Martin, respectively. They made a CD together (not Dance House Children). Listen to some songs here: The Brothers Martin It reminds me a teeny bit of old Fine China, a band that actually has connections to both of the Martins.

Hot Chip will break your legs, snap off your head. 3:31 PM Tuesday, October 03, 2006 It's time for a new song. Semi-new music, new lyrics, brand spanking new recording. Cocoon Boy Secret: The distorted vocals were not actually on purpose. I'm just making do with stuff that I have, so you get vocals recorded through crappy equipment. Sorry! Labels: music 8:39 PMSunday, October 01, 2006 Yesterday I finished watching The Godfather DVD collection. I enjoyed them all. Man, what a long and sad story. I cried at the end. Then I went to work. Tonight I hung out with Jessie. We went to the Chickamauga battlefield and then watched American Splendor. Is a very good one. Plus, Jessie made some killer cheesey pork. Tomorrow I go to work very early. This guy Derek that I work with plays music sometimes with the guy from that old band Annie. Remember those guys? Check out the band here: The Good Players 11:17 PM Monday, September 11, 2006 I've my father's tastes and hurt. I've my mother's worries and mouth. ... We fall into patterns quickly. We fall in patterns too quickly. - Owls, Anyone Can Have a Good Time I applied for a job as a copy editor today. I've got the education requirements down. Let's pray they don't need someone experienced, 'cause a brother like me is not. I can make a wicked latte, though... I've been watching a lot of Firefly (thanks to Robair) and listening to the Owls. 5:49 PM Saturday, September 09, 2006 I like They Might Be Giants. They'll Need a Crane Don't Let's Start Ana Ng Birdhouse in Your Soul (She was a) Hotel Detective Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head Dr. Worm Some Crazy Bastard Wants to Hit Me The Statue Got Me High Purple Toupee Here's a bunch of their Venue Song videos: Venue Songs And here's 2 kids singing a TMBG song: James K.

Today I moved all my ish to my parents house and started sorting through it to figure out what is coming with me, what is staying here til I can get it later, and what is going to Barkin' Basement. While going through all my crap, I came upon this recording on the ol' digi-8-track recording device. Taylor and I made this one day for no good reason. Kind of stupid, kind of funny. Shopping Cart Jessie is flying in to Waco on Friday (zero weekends and 2 sleeps from now). Then we Thursday, August 10, 2006 "I li-i-i-ike my bi-i-i-ike. It's not like other bikes." - Ghoti Hook 3:45 PM Wednesday, August 02, 2006 We're back from tour a day or 2 early. Right now I'm in Houston hanging out with the Price family. I had a dream last night that I went to U-haul in Houston but forgot to drop off the trailer, so I was going to have to go back before driving back to Waco. Sometimes dreams are stupid. I want to hear some Magnetic Fields. 11:09 AM Wednesday, July 05, 2006 Things are moving. Moving pretty damn fast. 2 times this week I have almost disappeared. My parents are thousands of miles away. My brothers, a thousand each. I couldn't sleep last night, so I looked for God in Indian Springs Park. I didn't see him, but I think he might have been there. One of my favorite bands in the world, Meryll, has new songs for you to listen to. This music is so good. 3:48 PM Wednesday, June 21, 2006  Labels: music 1:47 PMSunday, June 18, 2006 half bear, other half cat Well... Everything for the My Korean Friends CD has been recorded. We should be mixing that piece here in the next few days. So there. I feel like I've been mad busy recently with getting ready to record and then actually recording as well as getting ready to play at Steve and Marybeth's wedding that took place yesterday. Anyway, all this recording and wedding business is over now. This weekend Jessie and Doni came to visit from GA/TN, so I didn't just sit around and do mostly nothing all weekend, I sat around and did mostly nothing all weekend with cuddies. Cuddies, however, had to leave this morning, so they took a bunch of my stuff with them in their rental car (thanks Jessie's mom). That's right, little pieces, I shall be following my things to Chattanooga in a couple of months. Here's a little summary about why I'm moving: Rocky Top So, there you have it. I think the first and last verses are especially applicable. 3:30 PM Tuesday, May 30, 2006 It's late. I watched X-men 3 tonight, and I liked it a lot. Even better than that, though, is that Toby was excited to see me, and even better than that is that he ate food and drank water-a-plenty. I was afraid he was on a hunger strike. Just for kicks, go listen to this band: Corban Eldra And read this comic: A Lesson is Learned, but the Damage is Irreversible. 2:00 AM Monday, May 15, 2006 Take some time to watch this little video: the American Culture eXperiments - Freedom in Part. This video was a gift from friends of the band. 5:38 PM Friday, April 28, 2006 Here is a brand new tune for you: The Rummage For those interested, the music was created using only a circuit bent SK-1 and a DD-6. Labels: music 6:59 PMThursday, April 27, 2006 I just watched a Star Trek movie. I like ST:TNG, so there. Here is a mildly entertaining video of a repetitive song someone videotaped at Beepcon'06: Reeve Hunter - You Hold Us Down 2:15 AM Wednesday, April 12, 2006 Why carry one when my tongue is equivalent to a gun? 2:16 PM Sunday, April 09, 2006 If you have never listened to the band Meryll, you should go ahead and take the time to do so. I mean, their CD just got released in Japan, so you're already a little behind. They make music that I believe is very good sounding. Take a listen here. Labels: music 11:38 PMFriday, April 07, 2006 Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway I think this music is beautiful. Labels: music 3:36 PMI think I would like to see this Beastie Boys movie. I wonder if it's showing anywhere. 11:46 AM Friday, March 31, 2006 As many of you know, I have been substitute teaching in schools across Waco, TX. When I first started, I took a long term subbing position at University High School teaching an Integrated Physics and Chemistry class. I had to give assignments, grade papers, whatnot. It was really nice to have the same kids every day, but it was not so nice to have to do all that work all the time. I had the option of teaching there til the end of the year for better pay, but I said no thanks. For the last day I was there, I made the students a little going away present: A stupid song that I performed for each class. Here is the recording from 6th period (my favorite class, but don't tell anyone). 6th Period 10:00 PM Tuesday, March 21, 2006 I had a dream last night that I became the 5th member of the Smoking Popes. How messed up is that? I tried to explain Quaid to Josh Caterer, and then I flew over a swimming pool. Labels: music 12:24 PMSunday, March 19, 2006 I just finished reading Microserfs. I enjoyed it. Also, the Smoking Popes are playing shows again. 9:12 PM Wednesday, February 22, 2006 The News - Jesus and Morrissey Labels: music 12:51 PMWednesday, October 15, 2003 Boogie jive and rap is life where I'm from.
