this is the new music journal, and we'll be starting from here
forwards - this page will not repeat the past. old journal posts will be
available on the aleph discs as they come up, and in the alter-reality,
albeit very slowly. for the short run, i'll be posting all other rants
here, too, but i'm sure i'll find another space for things in time. i
just don't want to set up a space for rants right now because i don't
really want to be ranting.
this page has an rss feed. i
don't know what kind of feed aggregators exist at this point in time,
but i think that this has to be the future of notification software. i
know that i'm going to be hurting myself by getting off of social media,
but i think you should look at me as leading the way, here. i just
can't deal with facebook anymore; it's a horrific platform. as users, we
should be looking to diversify the platforms we use, and we should be
looking for tools that make it easier to diversify the platforms.
that said, let us begin this journal with a listing of ways that you can continue to follow me through different platforms.
1) the alter-reality.
over
the next few months, i will be beginning to post heavily to the
alter-reality. it is twenty years ago, today, in the alter-reality. this
means i am twenty years younger than i am today. the idea is that i'll
be blogging my life, as i remember it, from the perspective of twenty
years previous. right now, that makes me 15 years old in the
alter-reality. the reason i'm doing this is that i have a lot of music
to re-release, and there's a certain logic in watching it unfold in real
time. so, the first demos from the alter-reality will begin to be
published in september, 1996.
the alter-reality will be narrated primarily through it's own blog:
http://therealinri.blogspot.ca/
these demos will be
hosted on their own bandcamp sites, which will shift along with my
pseudonyms. the first pseudonym will be 'inri', and the first bandcamp
archive will be here:
https://jnrj.bandcamp.com/
the alter-reality will also have a youtube site & associated google+ page for comments:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXlH5Ds5mqClkdAUFJwQCNQ
remember: it's always twenty years previous to today in the alter-reality. so, all youtube comments will reflect this.
i will also need a facebook page, whether i like it or not:
https://www.facebook.com/inri-1719120681676528/
all remaining facebook communication will be sporadic, and i hope to be able to phase it out altogether in time.
2) current reality
my main focus right now remains on finishing my discography, and i will be getting back to an active phase of this almost immediately.
my main bandcamp archive remains in the same place it's always been, which is here:
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/
the page is currently stripped down, but will be rebuilt and republished over the next few weeks.
this journal is replacing my facebook music page because it just became impossible to use. however, i will continue to use that page as a timeline and post completed works to it. you could consider it an announce list.
https://www.facebook.com/jessicaambermurray
my personal facebook page is being used as a sort of a social cv.
i do not accept friend requests, but you can follow me.
https://www.facebook.com/dfhdhfghjgjkgjkka
soundcloud has a very limited use to me because it is a paid site. you're supposed to pay me, guys. they've got this all backwards. but, i do use it to hold rough demos.
https://soundcloud.com/deathtokoalas
my vlogging will continue here, including vlogs about music production:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCinQSeEtF0vSN1XVhQGfwKA
you could also follow me on google+ for posts about the vlogs, mostly:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/108929126523080872678/108929126523080872678
3) review sites
this is my main site, but it is currently in very bad shape and will no doubt remain that way until i get done the discography:
http://dghjdfsghkrdghdgja.appspot.com/
i will eventually shift into music reviews, and i have a profile set up for that eventuality:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0re8yuNEZyCde7CQpK0QNw
4) dead sites
don't tell the koala central command where to find me!
https://www.youtube.com/user/deathtokoalas
this is the only twitter site i've ever created, and i've never made any use of it.
all other twitter sites are run by imposters - they are not me.
and, frankly, that shouldn't be hard to guess, either.

j reacts to the idea of cancelling tax credits to incentivize the disabled to work
it seems like they're going to cancel my tax credits this year, which means i'm not going to have as much spending money. it is not a rational incentive for anything at all, and it will not make any difference in my loan repayment.
my loan is upwards of $60,000 and it's growing, yearly, due to interest. i have not made a payment on the loan since 2008. i will be on disability for the rest of my life; the chances of a single payment on the loan, let alone full repayment of it, are 0%.
i need to reiterate: there is a zero percent chance that i will ever make a payment on the loan. ever.
i have been transparent with the system about this. the system agrees that i am permanently disabled, but disagrees that i am severely permanently disabled.
i made the choice a few months ago that continuing to fill out forms, only to have them rejected and then be asked to fill them out again, was simply not worth my time. i hate doctors. i've had enough of convincing the doctors to fill out the forms, then having the forms rejected and then having another department ask me to send the same forms.
the math here is not debatable; the system is just being incompetent. i receive $13320/year from disability payments, and pay $7920 of that out for rent - leaving me with $5400/year to pay for all other expenses, including food. that's $450/month. i have no further source of income.
the minimum payments on my student loan are $1400/month, most of which is interest. the trillium benefit, which they are going to hold, is around $60/month.
there is obviously no logic in reducing my income by $60/month to pay off a student loan, when the same student loan is charging me $1000/month in interest and i have been transparent that i am medically unable to work.
but, i just don't have the energy to fight the system any further. they can keep their $60/month - to what aim, nobody knows. even the people on the phone agree that this makes no sense.
the thing that would make sense would be for the government to look at the situation and realize that because i am disabled i can never pay back the loan, and because i am poor i should receive the subsidy. and, in fact, they have done that. but, the situation is supposedly not severe enough.
it's not even a question of severity, in my view. it's just a sadistic policy. that $60/month is useless in paying down my loan. it's about 5% of the monthly interest. it's not even close! but, it means quite a bit to me.
how much to me? well, $60/month is a show or two a month. about a show and a half, really, which means three every two months. that's how it's going to hit me.
i need to reiterate that it's just stupid, calvinist bullshit. it makes no sense as a loan recovery tactic. it only makes sense as a way to punish me for being disabled.
i'm convinced that a big part of the problem is that they have a private company on the collections, and they don't get paid unless they recover something. so, this kafkaesque mess is just a consequence of the decision to privatize collections, which atomizes the decision making process. nobody is looking at the situation from a distance. everybody is making isolated decisions, without talking to each other about it.
so, it may be true that it doesn't make sense to recover $60/month on a $1400/month minimum payment, with over $1000/month of it being interest. that's an obvious default situation - every month that goes by is costing taxpayers money, and withholding my tax refund doesn't help the situation (it just makes it worse, really). but, the company doesn't care. it just wants the $720.
again: that $720 is useless to anybody involved here except me. the only measurable outcome of this policy is that i will have less spending money.
should the situation continue as it is, my loan is just going to spiral out of control. but, i've done my due diligence: i've filled out the forms, i've got the doctor's notes. they decided to reject the documents. what else am i going to do but sit back and watch it grow? you can lead a horse to water...
it's mismanagement on their behalf. i accept no responsibility for the consequences.
in a few years it will be $100,000. it will probably reach $500,000. i'm curious if it can get to $1,000,000.
but, i'm a disabled person for life. i'm a ward of the state. it's just a meaningless number to me. whether i have a $50,000 debt i can never pay back or a $50,000,000 debt i can never pay back is a logically equivalent non-issue.
what's more important to me is the $60/month.
in the long run, the money will no doubt find it's way to me. they can't actually take your money. they can only hold it. eventually, they're going to have to figure out that that's not getting them anywhere and i'll get a cheque for the difference. in the mean time, it means less shows, which means less show vlogs.
a check for $3000 or something could be a new pc, at about the time that the one i've got is getting useless.
i mean, nothing is going to be different five years from now - nothing except the size of the number i'll never be able to pay back.

am i done?
not exactly.
will ever be? a few more days...
i've now got the youtube & facebook files merged. 5256 pages? yeah. that's not including the music review profile (2011-2012) and some of the politics page (2010-2012), which will together take me well over 6000. nor is it including any email, any usenet groups, any web site writing...
it's really just youtube & facebook comments, and only since 2012.
while it's not done, it's done enough to move on. what does that mean?
well, first i need to catch up on the vlogging, which will mean clearing this page down. and, i really plan to keep it cleared this time. i'll no doubt keep ranting, but i'm moving it off this site to a blogspot site. i just don't trust social media to house data anymore - you never know when things are going to disappear. that won't take too long, i hope.
then, i should be able to rebuild the main bandcamp archive - which will mean updating the document, too. i'll rebuild facebook as i'm doing that. but, i'm going to wait for the aleph-disc. i kind of initially wanted to do this all at once, but i no longer think that makes sense.
first things first - i'm eating. then i'm showering. i crashed hard when i came home two thursdays ago and have barely moved out of my chair since. i was hoping to get a good chunk of the aleph-disc done, but instead was stuck continuing the build-up to it.
i will be catching the joy formidable tonight. it may be an overnight in ferndale. i have yet to see a show at this venue. but, i have no plans to leave early to catch the bus - this is a band that i'll stay the night for.
the next chunk of time runs from the 14th to the 21st. i think i can reasonably hope to get close to rebuilding my second record by the time i get there.
so, from this point, this page is going to fall back to publishing new/old music as it gets republished. i'm confusing at the best of times.
but, archiving is comprehensively complete. the remaining build is new writing.

the air conditioner upstairs is starting to break. i can hear it wheezing. finally.
i'm trying to overload it.
it's literally 35 degrees out today - pre-humidity. i have the windows open. and i have the heat on - set to 28. it's actually on, too. i tried to turn it down, but i don't want to feel the slightest bit of refrigeration on my skin...i want to sit in my own sweat...
i don't think i'm being unreasonable. rather, i think there's absolutely no way to justify installing an air conditioner in your unit that affects the units around you. i don't care what he wants it set at; i don't want to know it exists. if it's 35 degrees outside, and the air conditioner is preventing it from being 35 degrees inside, i feel i have every right to set the heat to 35 degrees - and that the guy running the air conditioner is liable for the costs of returning the air in my room to ambient conditions.
i mean, ideally, i'd just open the window and let the heat come up and down with the temperature outside. yes - i really do want it to be 35 degrees in here. we only get a few weeks a year of nice, hot, humid weather like this. i'm not about to let him suck all the heat out of here.
he's going to wake up to a really nasty hydro bill. but, he earned it. i only wish that i could see his face.

i've made some decent progress over the last few days in combining data files, and i don't want to pause it to get back to editing. i'm back to the multitasking issue again until i can get a head start on the aleph disc. so, the vlogs may be on pause for a few days. it won't be too too long.
they're happening, it's just that they're not being edited or uploaded. and there's really not anything in them that isn't on this page, except some further eating rants. it will all come up in time, once the machine clears back up.
i really should be done the process by now, but i got stuck in the primary. it's the last primary, though.
you could take the time to catch up, if you'd like.

page is wiped clean, if you care to look. i'm currently combining all of the loose ends into a single file, and then i'll be rebuilding this in parallel with the other sources. so, i'll post the new blog shortly.
i'm realizing that the alter-reality will need to catch-up before i can finish the aleph disc. all of them, actually. oops. well...
let me get there, first. but, i'm thinking i'm going to have to wait until 2019 before it finalizes. yeah. well, it's kind of appropriate, too. but i can at least construct everything else, then just make space for the continuing blog.
yeah.

yeah.
i'm not bleeding yet. but my wrists have been a problem for weeks. there's a huge red splotch that looks like it's going to blow. what do i do? go to a hospital? wait it out?
i'm trying to eat more and drink more water - and i actually think i'm succeeding. see..
i boosted my hormones a few months ago, and i think that what's happening is that they're not getting fuel to carry out their instruction set. something that happens when you take estrogen is that your body gets instructions (in the form of chemical signals) to redistribute fat differently. now, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but only converted from one source to another (we can be engineers in context - it's true enough). so, if you get instructions to increase hip width and and build breast size but you're not consuming more excess energy for storage then your body is going to have to go towards other stores of fat - like your arms - to complete the instructions being given out by the hormones. the solution is that if you're very thin and you want to boost your hormones then you should probably eat more, too.
like i say: i do think that increasing my calorie intake has started to make a difference. all the fat is migrating to the girl spots, which is a start. i'm not storing weight in my stomach (in fact, my stomach looks smaller because my hips are coming out). but i'm not noticing my fat stores in my arms or my neck come back yet, which was why i started eating more. it's only been about two weeks, though, too.
as i was typing this, the red mark disappeared. i think that's what i was expecting would happen. it was probably just irritation from laying it down on the table, although it remains reflective of not getting enough calories. listen: i actually eat well. i just put my body into shock.
had it blown, though, i'd definitely be seeking naturalistic explanations.

i guess it's actually welsh alt rock night here in windsor. ontario. we have a london, too. windsor is basically south detroit. no royal castles, here. except the old al capone mansion....
i go to lots of shows, right. but, a lot of it is stuff i'm just checking out, or have passively explored a couple of times. there's only been a small handful of shows i've been to this year that are bands i'd actively call myself a fan of.
- tortoise
- son lux
- melt banana
- ....& the joy formidable, early next week.
this is going to be the first time i've had the chance to really see them in a dedicated show format. so, i'm a little excited.
they have a new record, and it's plenty good, but this is probably the best starting point. i've been listening to all three of them over the last few days....

an unexpected new recording by the future of the left
this is unexpected, actually. i thought they were done.
wiping down the music facebook page
so, to be clear...
i've concluded that this site is completely useless. i'm going to wipe it down. completely. i will then slowly rebuild it here as a cv and elsewhere as a blog.
what that means is:
1) if you want to follow my recording journal writings, they will appear elsewhere. i will post the blog when i'm done wiping this page down.
2) if you *only* want to know when i've released new music, stay subscribed to this page. that's all that will appear here.
3) as i will need to wipe this page down entirely, because i cannot access the timeline directly, i will also need to reconstruct it. so, when i start posting here again, it will be a rapid reconstruction of 1996-2002 material, posted to the correct places on the timeline (so, that will also be from 2013 on).

3) as i will need to wipe this page down entirely, because i cannot access the timeline directly, i will also need to reconstruct it. so, when i start posting here again, it will be a rapid reconstruction of 1996-2002 material, posted to the correct places on the timeline (so, that will also be from 2013 on).

on the longterm historical irrelevance of bob dylan
the honest truth is that i don't have an opinion of blonde on blonde because i've never found dylan to be historically interesting enough to bother listening to. of the '66 discs, i'll take revolver and freak out! over the rest of them. sorry.
but, even more accurate is that the historical path forwards to what i listen to doesn't really start until '67, and is actually mostly british. crimson. genesis. floyd. moody blues.
if i was in california in 1966, i wouldn't have been into the doors or the beach boys or any hippie garbage of the sort. i would have been into surf music, mostly. some early punk, no doubt. i probably would have preferred to be in detroit. and, i would have agreed with zappa that the hippie culture was basically the beginning of the collapse of western civilization.
so, don't expect happy retrospectives. that's not my culture. sorry.

plumbing update
the sink has been a little slow the whole time, but it began to slow
down a bit more yesterday. we did get some rain, but it wasn't very
much. the toilet is not currently clogged, but it is draining a little
bit slowly. the sewers outside are a foot higher on marion than they are
on cataraqui. i remain convinced that there is a substantial clog under
the intersection that will recreate itself until it is removed.
i have been addressing the problem with water pressure - that is, i will fill the sink up to the very top and then let it drain. this is noticeably effective, but only temporarily.
while i am not requesting action at this point, i am taking note of the circumstances as was requested.
