WordPress has forgotten me

Holy hell. It’s been so long since I’ve blogged. I didn’t think it had been that long, but when I went to log-in, I saw a box saying “hey! Is this your first time visiting? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed! Thanks!”

I WROTE THAT BOX. How insulting.

Anyway, I’ve been in LA. You’ll be hearing more about that in a video – I’m not the type for reflective retrospective holiday posts, because it makes me feel that the adventure is over and I’m back to my boring routine again, and the way I see it, the holiday’s never over. I’m planning lots more trips in the next few months, so I’m really looking forward to that. I just want to keep travelling. Sitting here getting bogged down by life stuff is really hard to live with.

To more positive things concerning you guys – I’ve been working on a couple new songs, so I’ll presumably have something new out by October or November. I like to release things every three or four months, which I’ve been pretty on task with up until now. It won’t be an album, it’ll probably be an EP, but it’ll be something :)

I feel so tired. Yesterday I went for an afternoon nap at 3PM and woke up at 11 at night, didn’t get to sleep again until four in the morning, and woke up again at eight. Rawr.

Thanks for your patience, guys :)

    Being from California, it sucked being away when you guys came across the pond. Looking forward to the video!

  • http://thevivid.tumblr.com/ Kendra

    Glad to hear that you're back, safe and sound! As slightly pathetic as this sounds, I missed your blog posts! (and whenever I'd check up on them on Google Reader, it showed What the Buck's posts instead of yours… which was odd)

    Looking forward to that video! :-)

  • Dylan =]

    I really liked your video of Tom drumming =] And I'm glad you had a good trip! If you're planning another, might I recommend Chicago? It's lovely here! I mean, who doesn't love gigantic, shiny beans? Just a thought… Also, it was nice to see another blog, it feels like ages since the last one! <3

    i actually came here for once, instead of lazily scrolling reader, and listened to the song on your home page.
    dude.
    dude.
    that was very, very, good …

    That's so weird! I use Google Reader too and it showed What the Buck's posts for this RSS and the one I have for ALL CAPS. What is going on and why is What the Buck taking over my internet?!! ahhh!!

  • Jonny5139

    you said “back to my boring routine” is that routine making youtube videos and writing songs all day while getting paid to do it? Real boring :p

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    watching the Tim Ferriss thing from your twitter. Are you going to learn to swim now?
    lol :D glad you're back

  • Jess

    Yay, you're back! :D I missed reading your blogs. Hope you had fun though. I watched you at VidCon on the live stream and it was amazing!

    Oh, and I strongly suggest coming to Philadelphia :)

  • Emily Maesar (Cophenopolis)

    Happy you guys all got home safely and that you had fun at VidCon! :D

    Speaking of music, I finally got my copy of the new CD a few days ago, review over here —> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv-XxEb3Qts) and it's amazing. Thank you so very much for creating such a wonderful and lovely item! <3

  • http://twitter.com/Shayshie Rachel Foxton

    I was starting to worry that you'd never come back! Haha. Can't wait for the video. (:

  • Shelly

    Thirded! It was really odd but glad things are back to normal now.

  • mypencilissharpenedatbothends

    aww it's sweet that you made a review. and haha I hadn't seen that duck lamp video before. watched it now and what made me especially lol was that the box said EVA DUCK LAMP. .. (I'm Eva).

  • nicole

    yay! i'm glad you're back! hope vidcon was amazing! next time you come to this area of the world (ie the west coast) you should come to the canadian part of the west coast, like vancouver!!! :D
    it would be totally awesome…

    ps can't stop listening to your CD. Its incredible

  • Emily (Cophenopolis)

    I'm glad you liked it! :D The CD makes me so happy that I had to share my happy with the internet! :] KEEP THE CHILD AWAY! (That's funny! XD)

  • Ansley

    Your blogs have been very missed. Can't wait for the video. =)

  • Marith

    Long time no see, Alex! I began to think that some crazy LA dude assassinated you. Good to know that you are still alive. Hope you had a nice time in LA, Alex. Looking forward to see you on my computer screen again.

  • http://candybag.tumblr.com Renee

    I'm glad you made it home safe! Can't wait for the new videos and music :)

  • Maren

    SLEEP! Like Hank did. He slept for 4 days!

  • Mellen

    I hope you address how amazing you were at VidCon in your video. By the way, you were amazing at VidCon.

  • Tildaboson

    How about a trip to Sweden? :)

  • Ava

    I hope your travels take you to Atlanta Georgia. no particular reason….
    And yes, it has been a long time!!! 17 days mister! Should you be punished?

  • Lauren

    Woohoo your back! I missed ya! I checked your blog every day and was always disappointed every time I saw the word wanky. But now, a new post! Glad things are back to normal, I missed ya. But I get the fact you were having such a blasting time in America and that's alright with me. :)

    But I'm glad your back anyway (you probably aren't though ;)
    Lookin' forward to the new video. :)

  • Marith

  • Akari Roudebush

    Welcome back, Alex! We all missed you! ^-^

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    I like that video too! I love the most random moment, he has like an old children's piano thing, and “this is a cow (moo), and there's a cat (meow) and a dog (woof), and a horse (WIERD NOISE) What? That is a stupid noise that isn't anything like a horse at all.”

  • purplegirl117

    What's this? A blog post from Alex Day? Wow, I haven't seen one of these in ages. This brings back so many memories.

    :-P

  • Mortadelle

    If you feel like practising your French overseas, come to Québec City! If you want a friendly guide, write me and we'll see what can be done. If you prefer Montréal, you're on your own, dude. hahaha (it's a great city, but I don't live there lol) We have a number of very interesting music festivals both in Québec and Montréal (which are pretty much over for the summer now – at least the major ones), but you can plan ahead for next year :D Very interesting film festivals, too (a fantasy film festival happening right now for example).
    …and much much more, of course :D

  • Poppy Bouttell

    you know the solution: blog more.

  • Meggymoo

    P.S. plz more blogs soon….. youtube has become boring without u!!

  • VlogMunkey

    Aww…has your friend Mr. Jet Lag left you alone yet? Or is he still hanging around raiding your magic fridge?
    So glad you had a fun time in America. Come back any time.
    And look on the bright side: at least you only lost money in Vegas. I mean, you could've accidentally gotten married or something like that. :)

  • Elise

    I MISSED YOU ALEX!

  • DC

    I can't wait to hear the new songs, ur music is awesome :D

  • Mortadelle

    I'll add : we have this incredible projection on an existing 0.8 km long structure, called the Image Mill (Moulin à images) have a look: http://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/idees_sortie/gran…
    and on this site there is a very brief but accurate video presenting our city (in English). I say “accurate” because I know they could have gone way overboard in imagery and scenery but it's conservative.
    http://www.quebec-travelguide.com/
    Every season is an experience in itself, and ppl are very friendly. :)
    OK I'm done selling my hometown ;)

  • Mortadelle

    Oh, I finally found info in English for the Image Mill
    http://lacaserne.net/index2.php/other_projects/…
    …and I add: it's free, just like the almost-nightly presentations of the Cirque du Soleil.
    Ok ok I'm done. :D

  • Lydia

    It has been a long time, but in the mean time I've found myself less pathetic and having more of a life than waiting for blog posts and videos. ……don't take that offensively please, I do enjoy reading your blog. So, I suppose the break was good for me in a sense.

    Anywho, always looking forward to new music! (And if you ever get the chance, be sure to stop in New York some time, eh?)

    AND I have a question: Have the Sons of Admirals any other songs besides Here Comes My Baby? Maybe in the process? I absolutely love the idea of the four of you having a band, but…. you only have…. one song.

  • Meggymoo

    nice to c u back on form again alex

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    you've hit 200,000+ subscribers =) congrats!

    Do a Bella; have some flu tablets to get you to sleep ;)
    Can't wait to hear your new stoof ^_^

  • arica.

    Welcome back to your own website! (?) It's been kinda lame here without you. We almost had to resort to cannibalism. But we didn't!… Okay, I did, but it was only a bite!

    Now for my opinionated feedback! :D
    I like the video version of The World is Mine more than the album. When it was just a solitary piano and your voice, it was much more melancholy and beautiful. I hope this doesn't offend you, but to an artist any kind of feedback is better than disquieting silence, right? >.<

  • taylor

    I can't wait for the next vidcon! I couldn't go this year but I watched you and a lot of others via live feed, watching you guys live was awesome. You rocked! :D

  • Sophie

    “I WROTE THAT BOX” That just made my day! So funny

  • Steph

    I KNOW MAN
    I've been waiting and waiting for another blog entry for ages. You have no idea how unfufilling a day is when you don't get one of the blogs you want. FUCK YOU ALEX.
    NO, I'm joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry. (:
    Glad to hear you're back, and looking forward to the new EP. I do hope it comes out before October 10th, because that's my birthday and it would make a cool present. :D If not, I'll have to pay for in myself (outragous right).
    Okay… I've written a flipping essay in this comment. Sorry. xD

  • Lydia

    I've never heard of you until i found you on youtube and thought this is a good a place as any to tell you what i think. Who knows how much you check your comments but here goes nothing. First off your music is amazing. I never knew someone could say so much in only a few words. Also, your twilight youtube videos are hilarious. I read the novels and you made me realize some of the absolutely stupid things i missed. Keep doing what your doing because you're definitely going somewhere with it. And it sucks your own website forgot who you were, better luck next time:)

  • http://twitter.com/jordanmichelle0 Jordan :)

    We missed you, Alex! I'm glad you're making a new video soon. :)

  • Chesney

    So glad you are back, you giving me something to do in my study spares!!!
    I'm thinking you should come to Australia! Australia is awesome sauce!!!

  • Slev

  • AlexDayObsessed

  • AlexDayObsessed

    NO! come to ireland it's closer

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/PhantasmicNirvana Lindsey

    Oh how I wish I could've been there. Hope your “vacation” was as amazing as it looked. You have to have some of the best pair of shoes I have ever seen… next to Emma Watson of course. Do they could in women's size 8?

  • Meggz

    come to new york again! my friends and i missed you last time you were on this side of the states!

  • arica.

    Hi, this is me replying to my own post. :)

    I just wanted to let you know that I JUST got the two CDs and Harry Moon package and I'm soo thrilled! You made me happy when I needed quite a lot and I just wanted to say, thank you for existing, Alex Day.
    …I didn't mean for that to rhyme… Wow. I sound like a cheese ball!! >.<

  • Katie

    Nooo come back to the U.S!!! But istead come to the East coast :)

  • prettypleasewithcherriesontop?

    you, my friend, and your talentedness(i dont believe thats a real word…) should come to maine.

    why? whats good about it?

    well, not much, but wed really appreciate you here:)

    think about it will you?

  • k8hoffman

    The new album is brilliant. I preordered your album and the Harry Moon tshirt. It was totally worth it. But the only problem is that I just now got it. I felt so left out as the entire internet knew all the words to your songs and everything and had the shirt and I just got it. Oh well. I wear my “What Happened to You?” shirt all the time. everyone comments on how cool it is. Can't wait to hear what people have to say about this one. I adore it. The CD is hilarious. With the alternative titles. Listening to it now. I always found it extremely important to be able to make fun of yourself. I love having the physical CD. It really makes it THAT much better. And I loved seeing you thank Charlie for being your best friend. I have a best friend and I'm sure it meant the world to him that you did that, because I know I would love it. I really love The World is Mine. Stay awesome. You're the best, Alex!

  • Lily

    Sooooooooooooo…I'm thinking you should post again before it becomes another 17 day disaster like the last time…………….just saying.

  • http://twitter.com/indigopandas Amanda Nolan

    I just wanted to tell you that i got my shirt in the mail today and it's much more awesome than i imagined. I actually had a dream about getting the shirt and that the Harry Moon picture was like the size of a quarter (a quarter is an american coin) so the shirt just looked black with a yellow dot in the middle of my chest. Yeah i dream about weird things. Anyway, i thought your album was great and that you're awesome, but you probably already knew that. :)

  • Sairs1111

    Died/disappeared or has Alex fallen into a black hole????

  • Lottie =D

    I would really like to buy you albums + Chameleon Circuit (rather then download). Is there any chance you could make them available to physically buy the CD on Amazon.uk :) I would love it, and so would my mates. Pwitty Pweez x

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    haha, yay Maine! but I'd be willing to compromise if you came to Boston or New York.

  • Littlepatch

    Missed you and your blogs lots while you were in LA and Las Vegas etc :)
    Super happy to have you back!

  • Jess

    WordPress is going to forget you again if you don't post soon D:

  • JazzieBeans

    And every day you still got that crushing disappointment when there wasn't anything new. ): Sad stuff.

  • Alli28

    Lots more trips? Where?

  • arica.

    First of all, congratulations! That goes for many things in recent days, but mostly to writing songs that have been getting stuck in my head so frequently that The World Is Mine is the only CD I'm bringing on my month-long visit to Indiana. The two songs that get stuck the most are Living On The Underground and Missing You. I don't know why.

    Oh! I don't know why but I felt the need to tell you that Don't Look Back is my favorite song of yours. :) AND I beat two of your statistics about your listeners/viewers BOOYA! :D I'm really excited for the new Trock song. Especially since I live in the U.S., have only antenna TV, and no internet with which to watch Doctor Who. It's my favorite show! I miss it so much! :'(
