Hey dude. How's life these days?
__rae__:
I'm on such a weird sleeping schedule now ... with my new job and all.... I'm up and theres nothing to do and noone to see... I don't know if I like what this job requires enough for it to be worth the money.... while it is good for socially awkward people like me I don't know if I really want to stay that way......

How have you been?
romero:
I don't recall seeing you at the family reunion. Why do you ask?
me and our other guitarist Brian decided we needed one spacey psychadelic song and one kind of dance-y song....I think we oughta pusue more "groove" based stuff and less guitar-y "Sonic Youth crossed with x" kind of stuff.....
I've been listening to 60s French mod stuff "ye-ye girl" type stuff... somehow none of this gets filtered (conciously anyway) into what I play.. but it sure...

It's not a word!?! 
I'm laboring under the beleif that a job is on the way and good times are coming back.....but I just don't know. I keep thinking the band is getting better... but itsn't it stupid to be in a band? Isn't that the perennial pipe dream of people my age.... at least I don't anticipate success.... not on the scale some people crave it.... there are...

The same 4 guys?
geez... the Suicidegirls members from around here got together today and I really wanted to go.... incidentally they even went somewhere where a friend of mine (and other guitarist in the band I'm in) works as a bartender but I totally missed it.... that very same friend of mine, Brian, wanted to do some experimental recording last night (experimental for US anyway) so we were...

We have a get together this friday but I work. I'm gonna go just a little late. Thaks for saying what you said about my painting. It was a picture I took when I was in the South of France on that student trip I told you about. I want to go back so bad.
stacie:
i will definately check you out if you come into my town!
the band I'm in going on a break... but since we're a band we can call it a "hiatus" since that sounds more official (although also kind of ominous) .... its only for a month or so.... our singer is going to San Francisco and the rest of us are staying in town and either writing and getting ready to record or lazing it up...

It feels so great to quite a job you don't want.
I would say that the latest Phantom Planet album was totally one of the most underrated albums of the last year or so.... I had some of the same biases against them for some of their cutsier cheesy pop moments.... but when Mr. Rushmore took off it looks like he took that with him....(which is odd because supposedly the singer decided to quit acting to...

Thank you very much for your comment: )
I certainly hope you feel better too, this has been a general bad week.

the band I'm in just got back from Austin.... our show was full of technical difficulties (almost completely all having to do with my equipment) and resulted in a pretty bad show and a total bummer of an experience for me.... we also missed out on a whole lot of the SXSW experience in general for our own weird reasons and road weariness.... so we...

work does suck.. and even though your trip wasnt all that you had hoped for, it did give you some memories, right? Sorry you have to go back to work.

Hope you can make it out the the next SGNM event!
music is an uncomplicated world.... sometimes I think if I can find the right combination of songs it'll rewrite my whole childhood... or whatever it is that made it so hard for me to be happy.... I'm always worried.... always tense... always stressed.....nothing else can really be held on to because anything can leave at any second... but music is constant... once it exists it...

His paintings always seem to be about isolation. Ironically, I'm kind of obsessed about his work because they make me feel less alone. I used to want to paint so I could put it down on paper and say "look, this is how I feel." It's not an especially depressing thing to me though. Lots of his paintings have a very strong feeling of contentment in them. Lots of them are also about feeling austrisized and confused but that's life. I want to do a set for SG and base it off of one of his paintings. Theres one called eleven am and I want to set up my room just like that painting and have the last pic in the set replicate the painting. I have really short hair though but I don't think that will matter too much.

I saw Brassai on your list and didn't remember the name but I just looked him up and have seen lots of his work before. It's very romantic. I actually had always wanted to go to France and I finally got the chance a couple years ago (the best two weeks of my life). While in Paris I walked up these stairs and pictured this photograph while I did it. I had seen it before and it really made it hit home that I had actually made it to Paris.
Thanks for putting a name to the memory.

Did you know that the chorus "B..baby you j...just ain't seen N..nothing yet" was originally recorded only as a joke? BTO was making fun of their manager, who stuttered.
In no way should this imply that I endorse said music.
