The next step was the one that did it
my recoiling foot
from the delicate crunch
of a tiny and compact collapsing eoskeleton
my foot arches in contempt of the action
it can't go on like this we must get them out of here
but as I walk on I quickly forget
and my miind drifts to other things
the snow's gone and the sunlight is unexpected
the sunlight that still reminds me of the end of summer
those precious days when I was so content and yet so worried sick
my feet pick up speed as they do on grass but i'm walking on pavement
my heart beats strong in anticipation
anticipation only to be delayed
anticipation-holding off and holding in
waiting.
The next step was the one that did it
right over the threshold
back into the cramped stairwell
door resounding with a hollow clank
at the bottom of a small abyss
so different from the streets
filled with jovial ghosts and small forms of royalty
children laughing, half frightened
half ecstatic in blissful oblivion
and the invincibility of being who you are not
if only you would keep that feeling I would and trade it
for this stairwell
this fucking stairwell full of broken bottles that reeks of pot
that reminds me of what we children become
and I told you, "it's not bad" I said
but i wish sometimes
That I didn't feel so bad about it
that the people going in or out
were not so intangible, so different from those children
people
one word and so many things
so many faces and names and personal motivations
and histories and thoughts and beliefs and
never more and specific than one word
and someday you will be part of them
if you forget
the invincibility of being who you are not
(or) have yet to (anticipation)

It was quite a weekend/week. Grandparents, eating out, camping and beaches. I quit friendlys and am working like 34 hours a week at the pool which is nice. I'm sure i'll get sick of closing 5 nights a week but right now i really don't mind too much. I need to start writing music again...solo i mean...but also with THS. I hope we get a new drummer soon because i want to start playing out!!!!!
This summer is shaping up to be pretty good. i'm in need of a massive hangout soon.........call me :)

I think my head might explode.
So looking for summer jobs pretty much kicked my ass, as is the amount of work I still have to do before I get back to campus.
At least I still have an interview to hopefully become part of the voice faculty at Rick's. I really hope that works out because it would rockkkkkk.
Also:
come to my recital!!!!!
When: May 5, 2005 (that's next thursday) at 7pm
Where: Slosberg Recital Hall at Brandeis University
in Waltham Ma...
(rt 95 N to 128 exit 24....take a left then a right at the first light and then continue on SOUTH STREET for about a mile..mile and a half and you're there! Then just take a left into campus until you see a building that kinda looks like a piano with a bunch of pictures of tortured composers/musicians on the side)
It's going to be a good time..and oh yeah IT'S FREE!
and there will be free food after...mmmhmmm

Wow.
It was an amazing weekend. First on friday I went into Boston to hang out with steph, kate and isaac. I missed them, they make me laugh. It made me excited for the summer. Then i ran to catch the train to Norfolk and showed up at justin's work. Then we did some rock n' roll high schooling which was pretty fun. Saturday was band practice and my concert and then a good time after at my parents hotel with them, sam and justin. Sunday was super crazy...went to brunch with the fam and then back to Brandeis for the Hollow Sound's show at frosh fest which was soooooo fun!!! And we got a lot of positive feedback which was awesome. I had so much fun hanging out with those kids...i hope all of us get to go camping or touring this summer. Then i watched a terrible film for italian and then I went to the SERP concert to see graham and josh....it was SO AMAZING....the best performance of any kind by brandeis students that i've seen all year. I really really liked the scheonberg
they totally fed off the crowd of over 200 people who came too. Superawesome.
So concludes my weekend. And although it kicked my ass, i would not have it any other way.
2 weeks of school left!!!!!!!!

This is the first update i've done in a looooooong time
So easter was really nice..low key...got to see the family.......got SO MUCH CANDY
accidentally donated a lovely black skirt to a devilishly handsome boy
made an apple pie....i don't know it was just a very good weekend
also, I downloaded finale notepad which i can't stop playing with. It also happens to be raining today but I don't really mind. It's sort of comforting..it makes me drowsy tho.
This will not be the last time I post this, but for all intersted: My recital is Thursday May 5th at 8pm (i think) in Slosberg Recital Hall at Brandeis. Its going to be superfun.
anyways.....i hope this semester finishes quick. Even tho it has been a pretty good time.

This has been the wierdest break ever. Not at all what I imagined my college spring break would be like. 1) it is faaaar too early...meaning nobody's around...but actually that ended up being a good thing because I have so much homeowrk it would have been near impossible to hang out anyways. However, the first weekend at Quinnipiac battle of the bands did kick some major ass. It was an awesome road trip. The hollow sound got played on Power 88...and we filmed a music video. And I went job hunting and made brownies.....so that's not a total loss. I also sent in my transfer app for Berklee. I don't plan on going next year but rather the year after so I can get some scholarships....if only I could take my Brandeis one with me. Anyways, 1 more year at brandeis won't be so bad..I can get my gen ed's out of the way and party it up jewish style. But I still cannot wait to live in Boston. My college career is going to be sooo wierd...just like the rest of my life.
also i got ourtunes and it changed my life
also.....i think things are going to turn out ok hopefully

tomorrow i go back to brandeis...so if i didn't catch up with you, must come visit me!!!! I order it!!!! or....i could visit you....i guess......lol

Ok. So I think this could be superawesome. This being the new and improved hollow sound who held thier first full band practice this afternoon. And it went spectacularly. It will get a bit harder....but oh man I hope this works out. I want this to work out so badly. So stay tuned folks. We may be rockin socks off as soon as the end of february........
My stupid keyboard. I finally got a usb cable with the right size connection only to find that the driver software that yamaha sent with the keyboard is only compatible with windows. Fuckers. Yet how i love that keyboard......i just need to find the right driver.........grumble. It's gonna be fun recording with it. I really miss recording...but more than that I miss playing out and writing.
I will figure out what I need to do with my life in the next semester. I just will.
in other news today i bought both the killers album and scissor sisters..........yes
goodnight darlingssssssssssssssssssss

Yeah yesterday pretty much kicked ass until the very end of the night.
Hit up thayer street for lunch with Harry and Elle at kabob and curry, and then proceeded to go "saleing".......
then i picked sam up, ran home and later went back to stephs for ben and jerrys with flo and we met natalie and some other barrington kids like fred, matt and bonnie and then we went back to stephs for some hardcore catchphrase. It was intense.
"So its like a person with a whip and a chair.."
"Dominatrix?"
Harry for all guesses: "coke?"
good times good times.......kyle also showed up which was neat because i hadn't seen him in a while either
also....flo's telepathic guess when i said:
"it's a 60's song" and she goes "age of aquarius"
incidentally, i am an aquarius.
also TODAY IS SAMS BIRTHDAY!!!! happy 15th little bro
tomorrow will be my first real band practice in a while which will hopefully be cool. I really really miss being in a band.
i finished some lyrics

It is SO nice to be home. Even though in a couple days i'm sure i'll be sick of it because I can't hang out with my friends or Justin or randomly go to Boston as much....but for now it's so nice to be home and see the family and my dog and feel like it's finally CHRISTMAS because there wasn't too much of that at Brandeis.....I will miss the Brandeis crew though...the night before I left my roomate's dad was in a car accident and hopefully his surgery goes well and he ends up ok. I think eventually he'll be fine but I feel bad for her.
It was so much fun when my dad came to pick me up today he was wearing a SANTA hat! It was funny.......I brought my keyboard and my guitar home so hopefully if theres time we can do a bit of rockin. I have new voice skillzzzzz. I have also vowed to begin eartraning myself so I will not feel like vomiting the next time john atonal aylward makes our dictation test a minor key bach chorale...............screw his eartraining class
justin you're my big fish
i'm home!

Both of my roomates are gone to tonight so I have the room to myself which is...kinda wierd honestly. Its probably better because I've been getting stuff done but at the same time I am soooooo ADD...........
Also since quiet hours started my hall has been louder than ever before this semester its ridiculous!
I'm pretty excited to go home it will be fun to see everyone...although i will miss my brandesians

Dear Everyone,
I'm doing an ethnography for school about how the local music scene (rock in particular) is changing in SE mass and rhode island. Here are some events in particular i want to hear your comments/feelings/hypothesis on the reasoning behind:
-the closing of lupos
-if you think the music in the scene is changing (ex. leaning towards more funk...leaning more towards punk....leaning towards hardcore....leaning towards jambands) whateva!
- if you think the kind of venues open to local bands is changing and if so, what impact does this have on the scene in general
- who do you think the next generation of rockers will be and what kind of music will they play and why
ok so just feel free to tell me whatever. i'm sure theres a lot of people who would like to figure this stuff out......i think everybody can feel the change
ask your friends and tell them to email or find me on myspace madz2486@hotmail.com
ok....i miss you guys and will see you soon after this finals shit is done with
keep it rockin in the free world
-Maddie

| » Got my jazz rock back!!!!!!! |
|---|
I realized that I exist to hang out, sing, jam, bake and write music. Its very simple........
So I went to Berklee today to hang out with steph and practice for saturday and it was sooooooooooo nice and chill. I just loved singing jazzy and writing with steph again and i missed her sooooooooo much. It was really awesome and I sort of want to transfer to Berklee because I felt so comfortable and like myself there.....but at the same time I have so much classical theory/technique here to do I don't think I'm ready for jazz theory quite yet.....and I was showing some of the berklee kids the bach cantata and it made me feel like I'm getting a very good musical education here. I need to practice a lot and just really learn my shit.
We went to see Lea and Hunter Wade at the Virgin megastore open mic night, which is definatley a place trevor should play and we (me steph and or justin) should play. I also met this really cool girl named tine who makes amazing brownies at Berklee.
So htis weekend should be cool....here is my self-promoting plug...c'mon there hasn't been one in a while!
SATURDAY NOV. 13
GOFF HALL (BLANDING LIBRARY) IN REHOBOTH

love, Maddie

Extrabody
Pull me up from the dark
resurrection
suffocation was so close
as my breath was forced back into my body
the singer was so far away
distortion like breathing in water
drowning under legs and fingers
fear drowsy like a slow flame
now smoke curls slow as I remember
the feeling of sinking my soul
into a place where I should not let go
should not let go
buoyant on a wave of strained
emotion I was forced to the top
by some dark faceless angel
thankfully tossing I fed the air
into my lungs
like hot tears and pavement
choking on
sudden salvation
I turned to find you
turned to find
bodies just twisting and curling
fists all and foes all
united by some unknown anguish
torn by desperate resolutions
always pushing in different directions
at the same time
let go of my sleeve
let go of my sleeve
let go of my
let go of my
I fought hard so that all this
music could take me away
..........
Thursday Nights
mom told me never to go to
bed angry
so I cried myself to sleep
you say these things and they hurt
I can hear still the tone of your voice
the slamming of the phone
it made me feel
so alone
A dissonant chord in a perfect harmony
a flickering streetlight by which
I find my way East
into a time past
when I still wrote
verses you never cared about
and drank coffee all the time
and found my way to your house
on thursday nights
and admired all of your rhymes
and taught myself to love again
just this one more time
so how is it that this
broken sound
can kill you from inside
well you crumbled my great walls
sometimes I feel defeated
sometimes
I don't want to fight anymore
and someday you'll say
its better this way
and I'll be standing in the dark
remembering short apologies
and hating the questions I asked
and wondering why the sun
can't, just once,
set in the East
even if its only for some of us..............
