The Impossible Mixtape
As of late I’ve began referring to Idiot Zoo as “The Impossible Mixtape” in my head. It seems like a project that will just never come to be. I was looking through my old files the other night and I realized that there was a completely different Idiot Zoo folder somewhere else on my drive, full of demos that I would absolutely not consider up to par to release now. In fact most...

Dang.
It’s at the point where I now routinely see people posting statuses about how they like my music, or quote my lyrics, or post on message boards referring to me as a favorite.
Dang.
No, really, dang.
I never thought this would happen. Hoped for it, never thought it would actually happen.
And shit, if I can take it this far, why not further?
This only makes me feel like I should be...

RAP SHOW!
I want to perform more shows. But I wish I could do huge shows. Like HUGE shows. Okay, not like stadium sized shows, but I wish I had a big enough following and enough money to put on an amazing show that would stick with people.
I mean honestly, if I had the resources I think I could put on a bitchin’ show. I have some pretty crazy ideas.
I want my shows to be more than “look at me...
almost nonsensical barely lyrical what the fuckery
And lately I’ve been entertaining ideas of us being together
Close enough to live comfortably and every
Time I close my eyes to sleep you’re there again
No matter what I ate beforehand
The molucules in my brain misfire so rapidly
And the movies in my sleep were filmed so haphazardly
But nothing could derail the thoughts of you I find
I can’t can’t can’t keep you off...
Thinking about a mini tour
I’m thinking of trying to go on a mini-tour (three, four shows?) with the ultimate destination being Boise, where I will get a free tattoo in exchange for performing. It sure would be a cool story.
I’ll call it the Tattour.

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
StarF is getting a tattoo!
It’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time. The main reason I haven’t yet is actually just that I’ve never really had the spare money… But all that’s about to change, because I’ve been saving some money for Nerdapalooza, and I decided that since I’m going to be on vacation, I’m going all out!
My first...

It's another FREE EP!
But unlike Snow Ballin’, this one consists of effort!
That’s right, it’s The Rappening! A free EP from myself and Mattari 2600.

Jumping the gun
Here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot. I mean I’ve been thinking about a lot of things, but here’s one of the recent projects I’ve wanted to do:
I want to write a song entitled Up In Lights. I already know the basic premise of the song - it’s mostly just a braggadocio wordplay track but with a few deeper thought out points embedded into it. I want...

Progression As Planned
HERE ARE MY PROJECTS IN ORDER OF WHAT’S COMING OUT WHEN:
The Rappening (EP with Mattari 2600), to be released Christmas. Just an EP full of randomness, something to do. Yeah!
Idiot Zoo Mixtape, to be released late spring/early summer 2012. A mixtape, yes, but with a lot of work put into it as well. However as a mixtape it’ll probably be all over the place, however it will have many...

THIS IS A FREE EP! →
StarF & Mattari 2600 - Snow Ballin’
I already talked about this in my last post, as well as in the liner notes of the actual album, but here’s a brief summary: I got together with Mattari and we made a 15 minute EP of absolutely ridiculous shit just for fun. It was done overnight! Seven tracks in one night of laughter and recording. You can listen to it for free, of course, and...

Sherby Starz!
Oh man, what a weekend!
After a few shifts in plans, I ended up visiting my good friend and recording partner Mattari 2600 on Saturday. I hadn’t hung out with him in quite awhile, so I was rather excited to just be able to derp around with someone who has the same dumb sense of humor as I do. We definitely didn’t intend to record anything, especially since I didn’t bring over my...

It's December again...
So I wake up today and look outside and what do I see? Snow! Snow everywhere. I did expect it though, because it started snowing last night. The strange thing is it’s been mostly clear throughout all of November, and it’s as if the snow was specifically waiting for December to fall. A few days ago I was actually wondering if this would happen, and I kept thinking “Damn, I really...

StarF expounds upon: Nike Syndrome
If I were an intelligent or sane person I would be sleeping right now, as that is the correct thing to do when it’s already way too late and you have to be up early to go to work… But I figured instead I would do everything but sleep! This has included drinking energy drinks, reading books, learning to play guitar, and now writing blogs as well. Procrastination at its finest!
But yes,...

Want to help me with a song I'm making?
I need the public’s voice!
All I need from you is to record a short clip (You know, a few seconds to a maximum of let’s say around 10) of yourself saying something about me. Statements like “StarF is…” or “The thing about StarF…” etc. etc. etc.
All that matters is that you’re honest and use my name.
You don’t have to be nice! I’m...

Nostalgia and amnesia
Earlier today I was looking through a bunch of my demos for Idiot Zoo with the intention of working on some of them, seeing as how my internet was down (It still is, I’m currently writing this on a borrowed laptop). I listened to the demo for a song I barely even remembered making and thought “Hm, yeah, I can definitely improve on this!” So I opened the project files to get to...

Write now, write better
So I’m currently working on… well, three billion and a half projects. I’m never really sure anymore, but I have two prevalent ones: The Rappening with Mattari 2600 and Idiot Zoo, which is supposed to just be a mixtape which means I don’t need to think so hard about it and try to make things work so well together… But it’s hard not to! I want to make an album...

PROcrastination
I’m a pro at procrastination, it’s obvious. Okay well I guess that’s not completely fair to say, I have legitimately been busy these past few months. There’s been times in the past where I neglected raps even though I had plenty of time to be working on them, but this time I’ve really just been up to so much. Balancing a social life with two jobs and everything else...

So many raps, so little time
So it’s been awhile since I’ve written an actual blog entry here, or really since I’ve done anything rap related. Lately my life has been going through waves of random productivity. I’ll have a lull where I think “Perfect, time to dedicate this week to rapping!” and then suddenly life comes up again. This time it came up in the form of a second job, getting a...
random lines at work
This is for the people that measure time in songs rather than minutes
This is not for the rappers who are “in it to win it”
But change it and take it to a whole new level
This is for those with the faith to look down and let go
This is for the people who measure time in albums rather than hours
We didnt inherit this, we’re not heirs, and it was never theirs, it’s ours

Drifter
I’ve met a lot of people on my journey I think that I’ll continue to meet more I don’t know why, there’s nothing in it for me I can’t explain the reasons that I do this for Maybe I’m searching for something like everybody But it seems so unlikely at this point Because I’ve seen so many people search hopelessly And I’ve given up the hope of finding...
The second is an ex, and not really even an ex
We “dated” for two weeks and never even had sex
She wanted to, i thought it through, but didnt feel the connection
One week later she received a letter from her own ex and got to steppin’
And so i never learned my lesson
I hate blogging from my phone
But seriously, why do I always come up with awsome lines or concepts while I’m at work? Then as soon as I get home I get unmotivated. Today I’ll try to record right away once I get home!

Get back on the horse
So to speak.
I haven’t written a new song in months. Well, I’ve written some ridiculous songs with friends because sometimes we joke around and write ridiculous little songs that I don’t put any real effort into, but we have fun. In fact I’ll be releasing a small “EP” of those under the name “The Brigayde,” which is just us, as I said, making...

"Seriously StarF, stop making blogs!"
Well, here we go again!
This is now my fourth active blog, because I feel I need a place to keep public updates and rants involving my own music and associated projects without cluttering up either my other blogs or my Facebook profile. Basically, I’ll use this to dump all sorts of information, updates, and randomness for anyone who cares to check it out. If you’re reading this...
