the chronologically ordered pdf file for the august, 2013 entry of this blog is complete, but the noise trade site is currently broken, so it can only be accessed as a bonus file in the bandcamp download of the music journal from the same period.

i am currently expecting the noise trade site to eventually fix itself. when it does, i'll post the link to the download here.

unfortunately, noise trade did not work out as a hosting solution, and i never got a clear answer as to why. but, i decided in the end that the site was full of ads and unworkable, anyways.

the readable version of the august, 2013 archive for this blog is now available as a standalone in the music journal package at bandcamp:
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/08-2013-music-journal

...or as a component in the half year archive at smashwords:

...or as a component in the first reconstruction phase archive, available in the following places:

this is, stylistically, a little bit outside of my sphere of influence; i neither grew up near a corn field, nor do i have ancestors that did, so this whole rural/roots thing is just not culturally relevant to me. it's one of the annoyances i'm dealing with right now in this era of reactionary white revival: my ancestors are mostly catholic, and mostly came over in the industrial revolution, so, while i'm firmly lower class, i'm neither interested in white slave music nor am i interested in black slave music. it's not that the rock era transcended any of this, so much as that it just leapfrogged it. it's beyond it, temporally. so, if you're going to try and go back and run a principal component analysis on it, i'm going to end up listening to sinatra and klezmer and ethnic sounding irish folk, rather than country or blues - things nobody is interested in.

but, i'm always going to stop to listen to an interesting guitarist, and i'd stop if i overheard this one.

for one beer, anyways. maybe not two...
