i'm actually listening to Sleep by GYBE! now. Not that i'm sad or anything, it just came up in the shuffle.
Don't know the Pinback or the pedro at all.
But Disentegration was the soundtrack to my Acne + Sweat maliase all through high school.
( i got over the perspiration and the blemishes cleared up, but the malaise still comes and goes.)
The nice thing about the Blogging revolution is the feeling of community in the depression and the sadness.
I say that with big fucking quote marks around it because really, it's not that big a deal. Life is life, and such as it is, we all live it. But it's cool to poke around for an hour and read some half-assed haiku shit by a 17 year old from Mississippi and it sounds like what you were just thinking.
I eat, I sleep, I work. What is there really to complain about?
