what's yr take on cassavetes?

Today seems like a bad day so far.

I owe money to everyone. I'm suddenly behind in several class assignments. I spent three days thoroughly unable to motivate anything. I'm having a (hopefully temporary) falling out with a friend. There is tension and drama on all sides of me, it seems. It's coming from all sides. I can't focus. I feel like freaking out over nothing. And all I want to be doing is rediscovering my creative groove, scoffing and putting behind me all this drama and wasted emotional energy, and resolving to move forward. No looking back.

The only thing cheering me up right now is this Le Tigre song.What's Yr Take on Cassavetes?
Misogynist? Genius?
Alcoholic! Messiah!
I've been really into the almost-whiny-voiced girl/grrl indie/techno-rock acts lately. Le Tigre, Tegan and Sara, Sleater-Kinney, PJ Harvey and her bastard copycat daughter in the Kills, others. I'm just too tired to go look up the names.

There's that demotivation again.

Also I've been into local bands I hadn't listened much to before. Lackthereof (especially Christian the Christian, the only full album I have by them) and the Joggers.You don't have to destroy it
You don't have to be destroyed by it.
Maybe it's the heat. Or all the social shifting (or shitting, as I mistyped to Dutch a moment ago) going on around me, or just the subtle undertone of bad vibes permeating the majority of the interactions around me.

Whatever it is, like everything else, it'll pass. In the meantime, I've got Le Tigre.

melodrama, catharsis, inane
