Here are some short thoughts.
I’ve been testing out rock and roll dance moves on the street, I’m becoming more and more comfortable with it. I see this as a positive thing. Were a passer-by to see me, they might think I had some problems. They don’t know the half of it.
Music has been abundant as usual, The Hold Steady, David Byrne, Elvis Costello…too much to mention. I will say I walked out of a Nouvelle Vague show, once you follow those previous three…you certainly have your work cut out for you, and hold their own, they did not.
Once you get over food poisoning, you view food differently. Once my great love, is now my cautionary acquaintance, i’m still a little worried, and can not just throw caution to the wind. At least for a few more minutes.
I’ve fallen off the wagon, and gone back to abusing shuffle mode on my ipod. I feel like whenever I am in a music writing stage, this happens. I’m open to suggestions why, I still don’t understand it, and I dont know if I like it.
Somebody get me a singing voice, please.
I want to hire a bunch of musicians to play incredibly distorted, while I sing selections from Dylan’s Time Out Of Mind, with lots of delay on the vocals. The songs seem like only 2 chords, but I’m sure its much more complex. Thats the Catch 22. Simple songs only reach their full potential when Daniel Lanois is producing, Dylan is writing, and Brian Blade and Jim Keltner are on drums. Fuck you guys, I’m going with Garageband.
