autumn

thanks for the comments, guys - they haven't gone unnoticed.

While weeding through the usual mail from individuals such as "Dick Fair" and "Trina Grove" this morning, I am reminded of 2 songs I wrote this weekend. Neither of which I recorded, and one of which I think I've completely forgotten how to play. Shameful, really. I need my house to be clean before I can sit and start recording shit.

I drove this weekend to Ikea for a desk top (I still kept the steel pipe base that I made, just needed a new topper). It was nice. There's something very romantic about drinking chai and driving through treelined streets full of leaves... There's still enough leaves on the trees so that it's not like - sticks and dead leaves on the ground. The leaves on the ground are still yellow and orange, and there's still some green on the trees - it's SO nice. I'm quite inspired. I'll try to get some guitar demos up this weekend. I've said this before, but I think it's time...

As for my blogging last week - The whole point of that blog was to say that I want to get this thing back to music. As time has gone, it became more about me and less about what I originally intended the blog to be. With that, since this post is about music stuff, I don't feel bad posting it. Notice I didn't go over what happened since the last post, or what I did this weekend...

I want you all to listen to these albums:

Pinback - Summer In Abbadon
The National - Alligator
The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Kevin Devine - Put Your Ghost To Rest

Right now, those have inspired me to write music and get off my ass and hone in on this shit. I hope you do the same.

xoxo

Damn, the National didn't end up on my Burning Bush of Music. You need to make a part two with them and the new Kevin Devine.

Damn, Mikey. I am drunk and still checking your blog. If that isn't love, I don't know what is!!!
