Turn up the EMO, bitches
I installed an ‘emo’ knob on my amplifier to get that perfect sound of pain. Note that it’s always turned up to ten.
In other music news, I have Joanna Newsom’s new album ‘Ys’. It’s five songs that wind up being an hour long. Totally prog or something. Cutesy harp-based prog full of lyrics about sailboats and dead birds and you wonder what the point is sometimes but in the end it all works out. If you’ve never hear Joanna Newsom I recommend the last album, The Milk-Eyed Mender, which is a bit more accessible. Other stuff I am loving now are Be Your Own Pet (like The Grates but better) and the Shins (as mentioned in Garden State - if Natalie Portman tells you a song will change your life, you better fucking believe it).
Today some amazingly good stuff happened and one lame thing happened also, and at the moment I’m concentrating on the lame stupid thing. How do I stop thinking about it if it happened last? Dammit. (It was a work thing so I’ll shut up about exactly what it was. Needless to say people DIDN’T take the opportunity suck up to me when, for possibly the first time ever, it was TOTALLY CALLED FOR)

‘emo knob’ I laughed at that probably more than was healthy. In the world of funny today it ranks only second to having “Just shove it in there and stop sassing me” yelled at me. Let me tell you, much giggling insued.

I just bought two denali cd’s. They kind of sound like Portishead, with less samples. I really like it.
Will you soon be getting the standard emo swoop like these guys?

Tom - LOL :)
Winter - Hah, ‘jam it in there’. I don’t know if I’ve ever been sassed, now that I think about it. What’s it like?
Colnel E - No emo swoop, but I am looking for a nice mesh top. You know, for showing of my tatoos during dates and job interviews.

There are limits, you know…

Being sassed generally leaves me with a risidual need to smack someone/something.
But then again that’s often my default response to outside stimili, so maybe being sassed is thought of as enjoyable by a large portion of the population and I’m missing out.
