it's 3:01 am EST as of writing this sentence. this means i have been 26 for three hours now. i seriously hate my birthday. i mean, aside from the whole mortality thing and the fact that getting older honestly scares the shit out of me, it bothers me because people want to make a big deal out of something that i honestly would rather have not acknowledged.

ok, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement. as long as the big three (mom, dad, gf) acknowledge it's my b-day, then i'm happy. otherwise, get the hell away from me. why do you feel the need to make a big deal out of the fact that all i did was not die. seriously, is it that important that you further reinforce the idea that life is a terribly fragile gift by making a mountain out of the molehill of a fact that all i did was not die from circumstances that are under my control? you're an asshole.

i also hate my birthday because everyone always asks me what i plan on doing for my birthday. know what i did? i let gf treat me to dinner by picking up a sandwich from the italian deli down the street for me, a bag of chips, a half gallon of tea, and a cake. we ate our sandwiches and watched the first disc of the it's always sunny in philadelphia boxset. afterwards, we ate cake and went into our bedroom and fucked like wild beasts. after that, we watched the soup, cuddled on the couch and tried to make each other laugh, and then she went to bed a couple hours ago. that's it. you know what? that makes me a lot happier than going out and getting trashed and drinking to the point that i don't even KNOW what my age is anymore. that's stupid and way too expensive. i'm too old for that shit. you're too old for that shit. what's wrong with you? GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

ever since gf went to bed, i've been listening to GS I Love You, which is this awesome japanese psych-rock/big beat compilation. some of this stuff is very good and doesn't just sound like a rip-off american psych-rock and british big beat bands of the era, which is quite typical of japanese bands once a new fad/genre hits their side of the pond. all you have to do is take a look at the whole visual kei thing. does it remind you of hair metal at all? it should. they're nuts about that stuff, and so are all the wapanese kids. that kind of pisses me off because if motley crue or poison did it, it's stupid. but because they're asian, that means it's awesome by default. of course, you won't hear them listening to this stuff. they're too busy trying to imitate their heroes in dir en grey or wtvr to realize that there is japanese music that goes beyond bands that are nothing more than a collection of fashion gimmicks playing bad hair metal.

anyways, i thought i would post links to download songs by the best band on the collection, the out cast. check it:

everything's alright (my personal fave)
let's go on the beach
bokuno sobakara
long tall sally
kimamana shelly

i'm probably not going to post anything again until thursday, which is when i will have my first broadcast available for download...hopefully. in the meantime, enjoy this youtube link to see a performance by japanese psych-rock giants the spiders performing their song na-re-ba-i-i. it's from a japanese movie of some sort, so the performance is kinda lacking and bizarre in the sense that it jumpcuts between the performance and scenes from the movie (wtf is up with the waltz in the middle?!), but it's still pretty awesome. alright, i'm going to attempt to go to sleep now. laters kids!

i blogged @
11:58 PM


what is this?

"dot. dash-" is, aside from being an awesome song by a group called wire, is a blog that will be the home of my radio show, as well as serving its purpose as an mp3 blog, a youtube insanity posting repository, and my tantrums that seem a lot more meaningful at 4 am than they do after i get some sleep.

who are you?

my name is area877, but i go by kevin in the real world. i am a complete music dork that is obsessed with b-movies, arthouse cinema, japanese culture, anime, bootleg video, stand-up comedy, and drag queens. i love to cook and i love doing it for a living. i'm 26 now, so in all actuality i am way too old for this. this is a fun distraction, though. i hope you think so as well.

may i interrupt?





can i go now?
