Due to circumstances beyond our control, it is with very mixed emotions that we in Kill Hannah officially announce the cancellation of our spring UK tour. It breaks our hearts as much as yours.
First, we'd like to apologize to our good friends and brothers in Madina Lake as well as all our fans in England who bought tickets, and especially those who had plans to travel from Europe to attend the shows.
A very cool band, The Audition, will be filling our slot on this run, and we urge all KH fans to go out to support both bands.
As you know, we've been in the studio recording 5 songs for an EP. Destiny suddenly changed overnight once we accepted a new record deal, which now requires us to be in the studio until early summer in order to complete a full album. Due to the strict and sudden release deadline we found this tour impossible to pull off, no matter how hard we tried.
The silver lining is that we now have a real opportunity to make the album that we've wanted to make for years, and with all our hearts we promise it will be worth the wait.
We'll immediately begin plans for a headlining world tour as soon as possible.
Again, we are truly sorry, and we thank you for your continued belief in Kill Hannah. Xo The band.

“…that the powerful play goes on and that you might contribute a verse…”
I ran to the storage unit, angry with myself. As I’d feared, dozens of my old books were covered in dust. Fuck. I swore I’d never let that happen. I don’t care how frantic your life gets, you never close your piano, never sell your vinyl, and you never let your books get dusty. -rescued an early edition of Leaves of Grass and opened it for the first time in 10 years.
“…I project the history of the future…”
“…She cleaves the ether mid the sparkle and the foam of day…”
“…Of life immense in passion, pulse and power… the modern man I sing…”
“…And that is the theme of war, the fortune of battles, the making of perfect soldiers…”
Listening to: One -Sunny Day Real Estate, Underneath the Stars
-The Cure duet with Milla Jovovich, Sometimes -My Bloody Valentine, Love My Way
-The Psychedelic Furs, America’s Suitehearts -FOB
Watching: Tell No One, Lost in Translation, bonus footage on Royal
Tenenbaums
Youtube searches: taser to face, polar bear attack, colossal squid
Eating: xanax bars
Drinking; Tempranillo, vanilla malt
I think I may have roofied myself last night. Dj’d the Nitzer Ebb show at Darkroom then woke up today at 1pm on a pile of laundry with my boots on and gum still in my mouth. –and all the lights had been left on. Not your traditional Easter morning, but then again I’ve never fully grasped the connection between jelly beans, rabbits, eggs, and resurrection anyway. my mom did leave me a voicemail singing ‘here comes peter cottontail’ though, which made me smile and feel semi-grounded.
check this out: right now as i'm typing this boring blog, the light passing through my wine glass is creating the shape of a rose on my pants
Trip to LA was wild and wonderful.
A lot of friends were in town working on new albums… My Chem, 30STM, etc... Hung out in the studio with billy and observed a session of new piano-based smashing pumpkins material which was ultra sophisticated and gorgeous. Gorged at a BBQ in silverlake with Vince and Mark Webbs crew. Benji gave me a preview of several new Good Charlotte demos that were jaw dropping. Stopped by Juien Ks rehearsal and geeked out on gear and sushi afterwards. Rock climbed in Thousand Oaks twice. Saw Kat for a minute, who’s coming out with a stunning new perfume that literally made me want to eat my own shirt. Co-wrote a new song with Alain Whyte called “The Search”. Had some meetings. Dirty texted with Ville- lots of MC Hammer metaphors. Saw a red hummingbird. Drank Shock Top among crazy squirrels in north hollywood park and infiltrated a random Mexican family reunion. Saw a gigantic bee. Watched a blistering Deftones set at Bamboozle. bogarted free shrimp with the Box8 crew. Dropped by spaceland. Watched the sun rise over Mulholland Drive. Reconnected with Holmes and Cory Kennedy at a bar where they each slept while the other DJ’d. Played trivia at Malo. Chilled at Bardot, met tom waits in the bathroom. Thanks to Sarah Dope for her halfway house for wayward musicians and the Ikea couch that now bears a permanent indentation in the shape of my back.
Deftones
O’hare Airport. oh THAT's which way up is? thank you. That'd be really helpful, if i happened to be visiting from another dimension or something.
Felt annihilated on the flight home. The film was Marly & Me, which BTW made me hope for an engine fire. who on earth gives a shit about a normal family and a dog? seriously. Took this pic just to confirm and… yeah, I DEF look like shit. Luggage checked: 0 unless you count the bags under my eyes. i look like a living autopsy photo of myself. Come see the incredible walking talking dead boy!
-uncaffeinated and destroyed, i scuttled down the hall to a spot on the floor when a bubbly young pilot approached me.
“You know you have a gigantic hole in your pants?”
“Yeah”
“You know it’s directly on your crotch right?”
“yeah”
“and your shoe’s untied.”
“Thank you.”
great, now i have to leave my shoe untied all day just to spite this guy. life.

I perused a quote about reason and faith, here, so just wanted to leave a quick insight. Times still ticking. So, get ready, like the countdown goes, remember get your dose of Caffeine and ample supply ready, time is here and now, handy keys to the DeLorean, ready, count it down .... 4,3... is seven,2,1... twenty-one go!

Bringing in “reason” as a debatable perspective is an arbitrary moot inception of hanging on over a cliff after getting caught in suspended animation. In earnest, I’d rather crony up with a like-minded anarchist that befuddles the imposition-ers of faith is somehow equatable to ever be torn asunder by absence of reason as a supposed and dull exploitive of why not to have faith or presumes faith constraints reason. How tired and bored is that perspective, faith is sans reason, etcetera, as how tired and uninspired the word medley of “how tired and uninspired” is in a sentence. Truly, think, open-mindedly, if you are going to stand to incept reason into the mixture.
¶
Faith is not constraint of reason. Human expectations are the constraint of reason. When you expect an outcome, expecting defies the natural progression of reason and the possibilities of reason, cause and natural common-sense by reason. Esp if an expectation is only geared or rendered for a specific outcome that is meant to propagate a furnished idea – that is what constraints reason and undermines reason. Faith itself is not a constraint in and of itself.
Faith scrutinizes reason in the same manner that reason scrutinizes faith. Even if you are construing my comments in a sense of Biblical faith, (my own affections on Faith is, faith is faith, regardless of own individual’s personal sentiments) it should be applied to bare it as a pertinent truth of your conscience, if it is in tune with your own accordance of Faith. The insight is similar of a notion and passage Mat Devine shared in a previous entry, from the Bible in 1 Thessalonians “"Test all things and cling to that which is good." 1 Thes. 5:2
¶
The insight is, by mere contemplative states of the least of reality that is truly, utterly, ever known or knowable is dependent upon the realization those that follow the limited intelligence of humanity are no different or variable than those who believe in an infinite power or being. Except, that, the latter ones are not contained w/ limits of other people’s interpretations as to what the individual(s) believe or have faith in believing. In other words, of course, there is an open defiance of censorship. As the effect of censorship in many formulations is non-productive or progressive, plus attempts to suppress individuality and environmental compatibility and functionality. Individuals have an innate right and will, to believe / have faith in what sets their own life in accord with how they truly feel and be able to live according to a sound in-tact own conscience. The utopic is it ought to be a morally/ethically approach that is not projecting undue negative renderances into another person’s life. Give and take , choose battles, our world is further everyday from a utopia considering the majority has shunned itself to ignoring the dystopic qualties that are here right now and that media at large has veiled in elaborate dunce cap shrouding that dystopic societies are in the future although the dystopic future written about as Fiction is actually happening now. If you need hot lead dead giveaway tell-tale, read the Hunger Games. Reality shows and a corresponding match like Survivor and the way our governments handle it citizens and slowly revolve into revolutions is starkly illuminating in contrast to what science and governments would sooner have you believing recently. Citric awakening happens, just like heads up 7-up, goes round by round like kisses on the forehead of what you’re willing to fight for and go to battle.

Personally, I think, plus, prefer, to be limitless w/ willingly choosing to have faith in an infinite that harkens possibilities that exuberate all realities and endless potential for the greater good and bless those who are willing with talents that incorporate into their environments rather than something that devoids humanity of its own existence and destroying itself within by the contraptions of limiting itself like is so often seen and has already been duly established by the acts of science and people having a follow mentality to the state of science and scientists own propulsions of ideas and constructed basis’s that are feasibly assembled for mass production to the herd mentality that those of lower I.Q’s or sheer follow mentality will gobble up without having to test and proof it and prove that the theory itself or basis of scientific belief is sketchy. Esp taking into vantage perspective, equal opportunity intelligent licensures that can compute the information readily on-hand and disseminated to be shredded apart by the citizens sans academic luxury degrees handling inspecting statistics, quantities and exacts, in other words, the scientific misnomers blatantly compiled as derivations alleged to be fact sans exact intricate intra-acted ways of actually testing and provable.

Thus this ///.... “"Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me." ~ Christopher Hitchen ...////
The quoted sentiment is also a mentality that ought be evenly distributed and thus applied to science in the same rigor of scrutiny; otherwise, science in a whole would be an easily reasonable standing on reason sham completely. People whom fully put their faith (be earnest and real, that that’s what is happening) into science, as a bunch of atheists often do blindly, are, again, as I wrote briefly to “Fellow Heathen” no different than the people they claim they are different from whom have faith including certain atheists that are attempting to devalue those individuals whom believe faith in God or deity/deities, et al. So, let’s prevent the ostracization by some ethos that eludes incorporating the fragility of the argument done towards only shunning the hypocrisy of its actions in statement, as is clear with the ///....“Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.”...//// bit of the quote. Anyone with a brain embedded permeating reason plus own foresight is able to tear it tinker tape red, pulling apart the fallibility of the application of exclusion. So, well, let’s say it for what it is, for those who may get a bit riled or bewildered by the notion that that Hitchens quote has to be able to stand soundly to its own accord and then some to win over anything in such a debatable topic of query. Which whoever posted it aka the person behind “Hitch Fan” left it to, what is surmised as an attempted permissive gainer for something it isn’t rather than be seen for what it is. It is what it is; so let it stand to be, and let it be what it is.

Charles Kingsley, said, ///....“And we shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand—the habit of mind which theologians call—and rightly—faith in God.”...////
If you consider the application of – ///....“we shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand”...//// – you would sooner or later come to deriving the conclusion, if you apply it to theologians that it would then need fairly be dispersed to be applied to scientists and science’s schematics, as well.

Since, yes, a bunch did catch the flip-syde subtleties and am no longer so-so much M.I.A on-the-grid stats as prior (except at a backwards C//S, let those bones right ;) and sticking true and loyal to odes n’ codes Patrick Henry stylistic lovers “Give me Liberty or Give me death” stance of a prose writer and a bit of an unconventionalist, by art and its unconfined nature, I’d rather par up with movers and doers and standers, with the following quotes. As, this vantage scope of the playing field is where and why art comes into play and tests the grounds. Art endures. Art offers the companionship of the formidable connections of now, urgency and longevity. Legacy – such a regale atoning attenuation intonation inflection to the word while delivering an infliction to naysayers. Cruxly, appropos, regardless, if all there is, is this, every day, every time, I’d rather know within all is aligned in my soul anytime death knocks. Just, must gotta have something to share and faith upon for all those marvelous and wonder-filled death feats after-all. Nil sin Numine.

///....“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.”...//// ~ Blaise Pascal

///....“I heard once of an American who so defined faith, "that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue." For one, I follow that man. He meant that WE SHALL HAVE AN OPEN MIND, AND NOT LET A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH CHECK THE RUSH OF THE BIG TRUTH, like a small rock does a railway truck. WE GET THE SMALL TRUTH first. Good! We keep him, and we value him, BUT ALL THE SAME WE MUST NOT LET HIM THINK HIMSELF ALL THE TRUTH IN THE UNIVERSE.”...//// ~ Bram Stoker, Dracula

Justification towards God, and peace /// Of conscience.”...//// ~ John Milton
