“ARIAKE WAVEBAND”

Hailing from the UK, the “Ariake Waveband” treads depressive, often gloomy waters with their music. Down-tempo, Electro-acoustic, Experimental..they make soft, moody music that pulls from the pits of despair and anxiety for its inspiration.

“Ariake Waveband” is electronic darkness from across the pond at it’s best…and their remix of my song “Write It On My Left Arm” for Volume 1 of the “Blood In The Water” Remix EP Collection holds true to form…it is a chill-giving, epic take on the track.

So…OH MY GOD. I never get sick, but found myself completely taken down last Sunday with the seasonal flu (thankfully, not of the Swine variety) and am just now, 4 days later, starting to feel like myself again.

I spent the week in bed…on the couch, actually. While I was laying here, once the horror of the first couple days of it passed, I was able to think about stuff and write a bit. That’s ALL I was able to do, actually, as moving around was pretty much out of the question until today and I ran out of DVD’s and stuff on TIVO about 20 hours in.

One of those thoughts I had was how lucky I am to have my health. I regret being so hard on this body of mine for so many years…I wish I had learned much of what I’ve taken to heart over the past two years a decade ago, but that’s not how the story goes and I feel grateful to be here in one piece, healthy and present in my life today.

I like the idea that things can always move forward…that I can take my human experience and change its course at any moment. I want so badly to make right the things I have wronged in my short time on this earth, and find myself in a constant state of atonement, not just with the universe, but with myself as well.

I am turning 30 in two weeks & I’m really grateful to be here with all of you…HEALTHY and on the road to some brighter place. Oh, and I recommend that you go get a flu shot. That shit was GNARLY.
