hi. so, first, i want to say… there are two songs on our new DIIV album, “is the is are” with a person’s name attached to them… which doesn’t rly mean there are two songs ABOUT these two people, as much as they may partially be, it just means that in my head, there’s something about that person that I just can’t disconnect from the song.  grant is one person. roi (pronounced row-EE) is the other. you likely don’t know them.  or maybe you do?  needless to say, i love them both with all my heart.  roi’s song, aka “bent”, used to make me feel sad, lonely, and terrified… but circumstances have changed, and now the song makes me smile… laugh even. the primary struggle of this song now exists (hopefully forever) in the past.  roi’s song isn’t really ABOUT roi, just as grant’s song isn’t about grant.  roi’s song is about a lot of people, including myself, and our struggles along the path to clarity, sanity, and sobriety. roi’s song is also the second public taste of our new album… dopamine was the first. dopamine was an extension/exploration of the sounds we explored on “Oshin”, reimagined. roi’s song extends the sounds further… it removes the vocal reverb that has graced all our previous output, it places lyrical content at the forefront, and it starts to hint at the more diverse sonic palette that defines “is the is are”… it is a diverse record, it is a happy record, a sad record, a happysad, sadhappy, mad, glad, quiet, mad, dark, glad, poppy, fast, slow, heavy, fast, peaceful, angry, chaotic, beautiful, lost/found, ugly, dry, wet, fuck, fast, dead, heartbroken, in love, loud, quiet, loud, loudquiet, quietloud, happy, mad, quiet, fuck, and loud record. please like it. please love it. do you love me? DIIV is the real me. fuck, xo cole

lyrics:

i saw you with a very lose grip on yr tight ship

and i left you with a very big mess then i watched it progress

took a little time for your trip but i saw you starting to slip

+ you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that u had forgot

i saw you after a decent spell in a private hell

and i told you i hope i live a thousand lives, and hope i live them well

fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight

yeah if it feels wrong, go on along

but once it feels right then YOU JUST LOST the FIGHT

——

i saw you with a very lose grip on yr tight ship

i lost you when you said one hit couldn’t hurt a bit

took a little time for your trip but i saw you starting to slip

cuz you always kept your eyes on any little hiding spot that u had forgot

i can’t shake the terror of my life fleeting, minute by minute,

even when i can’t imagine another day waking up in it

fought my mind to keep my life, but my body’s putting up a tougher fight

yeah if it feels wrong, go on along

but once it feels right then YOU JUST LOST the FIGHT

Tobias Jesso Jr. x Eric Chase Anderson - March 20, 2015

This 6-foot-7 Goon turned his Tumblr into an IRL songbook, which he handed out to the smiling faces that entered Ironwood Hall. He taught fans and aspiring musicians alike how to play his songs. Finally, on a stage surrounded by projections of ericchaseanderson​‘s art & sheet music, tobiasjessojr​ breathed life into a shiny grand piano.

Here’s a rad writeup from Stereogum back in March 2015 about the songbook I made for the amazing @tobiasjessojr with illustrations from the incredible @ericchaseanderson! Such an honor to work with them.

SUB POP / PUNKY / 1990s

In  1991, Daniel Clowes illustrated the Sub Pop Video Network Program 1. The compilation features Nirvana, Mudhoney, Thee Headcoats, Tad, and many others.  It also introduced the Clowes-designed Sub Pop mascot Punky, who adorned t-shirts, paddle-balls, watches, and even mounted a failed bid for the presidency of these United States.

Here’s the front and back of the box, followed by the original art:

The International Fixed Calendar or 13-Month Calendar 

Moses Cotsworth, a North Eastern Railway advisor, invented this rendition of the 13-Month Calendar in the late 1920s. It was based off of Auguste Comte's positivist calendar (created in 1849). Kodak founder George Eastman was a strong believer of the 13-Month Calendar and actually implemented it within the company from 1928-1989. 

A month is a wholly irrational division of time. It has no relation to anything in astronomy, or human experience. It is an inaccurate and varying measure of time that is a constant annoyance in business and a misleading unit in science. It has no religious significance.

A month is nothing but just a bad habit.

Mimicking one of nature’s most complicated terrains, a mountain, Laramée drew inspiration from his travels to Ecuador, Peru and Brazil.
