This looks like spermatozoa vacation pictures.
Rebekah and i were in her car last night trying to harmonise with each other as we drove around to nowhere in particular, she breaking into laughter on every attempt. Oh boy is our band ever going to be fun. Yes, we have started a band. I think i wrote something about this a while ago, which is probably only four or five posts down, such am i prolific, and which we still have not moved upon, such am i languid. A step is that Rebekah is aquiring piece by piece my old drum kit and slowly learning how to play. And now we have direction. It's a step. Direction in the form of what we would like to sound like: The Vaselines, Beat Happening, the Grates, Jim Henson's music, Huggy Bear, cub, those C-86 and Sarah Records bands... Vegan Reich... were what we came up with. Book us for your snooty indie show today.
So, if it happens, that covers that side of what i like. I am still aching for a release of my Mike Kirsch adoration, amalgamating it with every amazing hardcore band that i keep coming across that seem to have only existed for one term when i was in year three. Then i want to do something like Lync, then Rainer Maria, then Koro, then I Spy, then Sicko, then... ugh. I am available. I was so close to realising something with Peter, but i moving on that has been hard as i have seen him maybe seven times in as many months. I guess i could call him, if he's still interested. It would be awful to allow this to slip because i need to do something, to mark something, somehow, and i'm older than i've ever been and now i'm even older, and now i'm older still.
I think i really need to buy a whole bunch of instruments for myself, microphones, recording equipment, and spend hours locked in a room writing, playing and recording everything myself if i am ever to get anything done. I could be like that guy in the Loverboy video (it's around). The task of even getting a band has been hard enough, i have not begun to think about how difficult it would be to work with others, to rely on them. Untested, i may also be a control fascist, so this could help keep that side of me beneath the surface. I could record and release tapes from my bedroom, and everyone would be wowed and wondering where this sound was coming from and ask me to play their shows and such, only to find that it was all me and i cannot play it live by myself. Ho hum. I do not think even i am aware how vital this all is for me.

Peter's friend Jason was with us this record store peregrination and he hated walking, so yeah. Is it just a special quality that i possess? A heightened sensitivity to other people's boredom in participating in tasks i find personally (i.e. as an individual responsible for others being there) comforting and rewarding. I could not find this album anywhere else or less expensive so i bought it at HMV. I needed it, so i bought it. And it is good, so i do not regret it. And i am boring.
p.s. Jeremy! I think you may like this band, maybe. So here is a song...
