his linguistics have burrowed into my tongue

My music on random. Snare snap, three beat four four, lifting on the three. The lyrics are enthusiastically running backwards, something groovy and probably bizarre that I really like. Familiar guitar. I'm not even sure what I'm listening to, I'm only listening with half an ear. Suddenly, my head snaps up. What? I know that voice. Even through

Through a completely different set of events a couple of weeks ago, I heard of the American Astronaut and The Billy Nayer show on someone else's LJ. I thought to myself "That's awesome. Y'know, I bet Jhayne has never heard of that show. This might be one of those rare instances where I find somethign awesome before she does. I should get her a copy and offer it up to her like some valuable jewel for Christmas that she's never seen."
So I ordered it two weeks ago.
I got it in the mail this evening when I checked my mailbox on the way in.
I came to your LJ to let you know.
And I read this.

Boooo. I should really know by now, y'know? : )

Ah well. I know nothing about it so at least I know I'm in for a treat. I'll take your advice and go in blind. I think I'll watch it tomorrow.

That's phenomenal timing, my friend. Phenomenal timng indeed. Now I'm curious as to who's LJ it was and if I was the one who turned them onto it. I've been having a bit of a BNS/American Astronaut revival lately, what with Mike being the bass player and everything.

My copy, however, isn't all shiny and legal like yours. Can I come too?

My receipt says the 27th of November so it would be someone's LJ entry around then. My friends page doesn't go back that far but I'm not sure anyone's does. I forget who it was. I'm pretty sure it had that YouTube clip featured as well. It was someone who talked about how much they loved it during childhood so probably not someone you turned on to it.

Anyway, yeah. Crazy timing. Hey, I brought you - oh.

[porphyre]

Childhood? Yikes. A wee tiny friend, obviously. That almost made me feel creakingly old.

Well, perhaps 'childhood' is too strong a term. He was waxing nostalgic about it so I got the impression it was more than a few years ago. Around what time (meaning year) was the Billy Nayer show on?

[porphyre]

I was going to say that I am confused, but ah no, it is you who are confused. The Billy Nayer Show is a band. A rather awesome band, as it says in my post. Cory, whose band it is, also makes movies. Charming, strange, delightful movies, such as The American Astronaut and the one that I posted. As if to add insult to injury, Mike tells me he's also a mind-boggling good illustrator as well.

[skonen_blades]

I remember this guy saying that he saw it on television. Maybe one of the movies aired. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. Well, such is life. Glad that Cory is here.

I think I'm actually going to go to this tonight.

It'll have Kryshan's footage of Santacon and a few performances. Maybe you want to come to my place at 630 and we can watch Billy Nayer before heading up to this thing?

[porphyre]

Sounds fun. Shall I bring some cheese soup?

I don't suppose you know if Dylan's related to David at all?

Re:

[skonen_blades]

I'm not sure I'd be too into cheese soup but bring it if you want to heat some up for yourself.
I have no idea if Dylan is related to David. I'm relatively sure that Dylan's an only child but I'm more than willing to be completely wrong about that.

I love you, you big lunk. That's the best present ever.

Shucks. Thanks.
