Some sad news on the independent front, Touch and Go / Quarterstick Records has announced it will shelve current scheduled new releases and close their distribution services. 2009 marks 29 years of operation, an epic run indeed. Hats off.

5.Tea Or Coffee?
Tea.
6. Last thing you cooked?
This is getting too personal.
7. If you’re reborn who or what would you like to be?
Some type of predatory bird. Animal life seems pretty gnarly though; you’re basically always in fear of being eaten, unless you happen to be a whale. I’m not sure I wanna come back. What if I come back as a pile of dogshit.

Everyday social reality — People in line to use Coinstar, stuff like that.

Judging solely based on my unemployment insurance claims, I’m totally useless.

Fear is for the birds man! Sometimes I get freaked out that oligarchies rule the planet, and free isn’t free etc. etc.

Chopin’s Prelude No 4.

Whatever Vito Corleone says before he drops dead in his garden. I think he’s just laughing!
