ok people. i tell you what my website is and i get blank stares. i know according to most its a bad idea to name a band something that no one will understand. but here’s the deal - the word ethereal is not “high” vocabulary, nor is it annoyingly difficult to pronounce. so here’s some help from dictionary.com

e?the?re?al? /?????ri?l/ [i-theer-ee-uhl]
- adjective

1. light, airy, or tenuous: an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.
2. extremely delicate or refined: ethereal beauty.
3. heavenly or celestial: gone to his ethereal home.
4. of or pertaining to the upper regions of space.
5. Chemistry. pertaining to, containing, or resembling ethyl ether.

please also note the pronunciation. so ethereal being light, airy, tenuous, delicate, refined, and heavenly (which you could argue may or may not describe my music). and now lets look at nation to see what kind of idea i’m trying to create through words.

na?tion? /?ne???n/ [ney-shuhn]
–noun

1. a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own: The president spoke to the nation about the new tax.
2. the territory or country itself: the nations of Central America.
3. a member tribe of an American Indian confederation.
4. an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family, often speaking the same language or cognate languages.

so lets see, a body of people… sufficiently conscious of … unity in the heavenly realm. the church? i’ll leave the rest up to you.

well, ok a bit of a rant… i can’t argue that point. but moving on, the third track of my EP release was finished last night. its another housey remix of an old emo song i did. there’s no vocals as there were in Seedling, but there’s a ton of layering and texturing interwoven with melodies and light beats, that makes me squirm. i’m not officially releasing the track yet, but if you want me to send it to you, you can message me on google. (plug for google talk)

also, you may have noticed that the site is uber busted. i’m working on that.
**edit** well, i need to re-css the blockquotes. they screw up my sidebar. also, scrobblepress is broken. you will have to rely on the lengthy list at the bottom of my sidebar. but i’ll give you a hint: i’ve been listening to my new single all morning.
