Another six month update, here we are. My name is Jake Thomas Shaw. Not that one, or the other, I’m this one. Made from the variety of thoughts and experiences that have carried me here. Not like another you could reach back 4 years and find. I’ve been 3d-printing, photographing (for my employer, at leastContinue reading “Dust Spirals – Journal 5/15/2022”

We Are Virtual (2015) – Criticism/Review
I’ve decided that for the first album I’m going to look at, I’m going to take a closer peek into Xilent’s debut album “We Are Virtual”, released May 17th, 2015. Since I’m a huge fan of Xilent, following his work since 2012 or so, I thought it’d be appropriate to choose this album over Kauf’sContinue reading “We Are Virtual (2015) – Criticism/Review”
Poikilothermal Special – Rehashed
Audio Version on YouTube! While the Mount Si series has a wide umbrella of poems under its shadow (fucking wordplay, yes), today I’m going to zoom in on a set of three I wrote to the sound of a single song. Poikilothermal, Poikillmethermal, and Poised To Kill Me Thermally. Let’s start with the beginning! PoikilothermalContinue reading “Poikilothermal Special – Rehashed”
Feel It All Around – Journal 6/14/17
I spent 10 hours out yesterday cruising in Tacoma with someone who I hadn’t heard from in 2 years. Crazy to think in this season of high school stories coming to a close that I have been graduated for I think exactly 2 years. Most people would have a degree by now, but most peopleContinue reading “Feel It All Around – Journal 6/14/17”

Association Nation – Journal 4/22/17
Songs are a pretty damn powerful thing to me. You’ve no doubt noticed how I point out some of my favorite artist, Xilent’s work on my journal pretty often, so here’s why I do that. I moved to Washington in December of 2012 at the ripe age of 15. By that point I had veryContinue reading “Association Nation – Journal 4/22/17”

This Life
This Life Good night you gorgeous creature. I hope your rest is pleasant And that maybe in your dreams I will appear to help settle things When a monster or beast May appear on good to feast, I will lay down my weapon If only to hold you in streams. Under blue clouds, Over purpleContinue reading “This Life”
