Lua - Bright Eyes (Mike Boelman Cover)
I know I alluded to covering THATH’s “Lost in My Mind,” but I haven’t had much spare time the last few days, so I hope you like this instead. I always like it on a rainy day.
If it’s not raining anywhere near you, you might try playing this at the same time (at a subdued volume). Same atmosphere.
I’m Mike Boelman, and so am I.
With the rapid influx of followers over the past week, I feel as though introductions are in order. Top-down analysis dictates that I start with my name, but I’ve already done that, so I’ll wing it a bit.
I’m a 22 year old student living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is a space for the things I hold dear, and I’d love to share it with you for a few minutes of your day. Welcome to my heart; my head says hello.
This is what it would look like if my face were completely symmetrical. A Libra finding a balance.
Does that read as lame as it felt to write? Good.
A very sketchy animation of my head, spawning out of my head…out of my head. You get the idea.
The whole thing is 15 seconds.
Oh, Sunday. I’ve not missed you a bit.
Recursive heads, a self portrait.
Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You
Hey, I just recorded this cover! Ignore the part where I’m an idiot at the beginning, won’t you?
Trying on new portrait photos for tumblr today. Here’s the larger version of the current. Something I took using my cellphone’s shit camera, a children’s kaleidescope toy, and my mouth. Whatdya think? Too small for the dash? Maybe? No? Hamburger?
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
This is the only Christmas song I’ve ever liked. So, just ignore the part at the end where I say “Merry Christmas, facebook.” I uploaded there first. You know I love you wayyyy more, tumblr.
A full fridge, family, and no work
Things are looking up. More and more, I’m identifying with my father. On the car ride home, I don’t think there was a moment of breath - just profound insight spewing back and forth. This is my life, and it’s looking up at every moment. Krisha, my love, I’ll see you soon.
Have you ever
found yourself grappling with serious issues that almost everyone else in the world doesn’t even have the vocabulary to comprehend?
If not, my sincerest apologies are in order. Here, have this photo of me climbing my house as consolation.
It just occurred to me that my Halloween’d avatar might not read very well on the dashboard. So, here’s the original, which I made last year around this time. What do you guys think? Too crowded a composition for an avatar?
GPOYW. Two halves make a whole.
So, I was gone for a while.
Well, not really gone…just away from the interwebs. And it’s been the longest nine days of my life, but I wrote a few songs, got a job, and moved in with my girlfriend. These are good, responsible, milestones as far as life goes. Unfortunately, I got a call from my mom a few days ago, and learned that my childhood dog died. She was a the best thing that ever happened in the world, and you’d have been honored to meet her. Here’s us together circa ‘06.
For The Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti - Mike Boelman (Sufjan Stevens cover)
