listening to the ruins. it sounds a lot like zappa.

i still have no money. i just a check to the IRS for $500+ which should pay off the rest of my bill to them. then it's time to go after the credit cards. something like $4k. not too bad considering the state of some of my friends. yikes.

i wanted to start recording some stuff like i used to today. i managed to get out one song. not like the stuff i did last year, so much as the stuff i did in college, and before. i want to start a resource for the super lo-fi people. i love lo-fi art, and everything that is severely under-produced, displays a crippling low budget, and generally unpresentable for public consumption. the recordings your roomates did in college, or the high school garage band. sweet. i want to write little songs like i used to, except be more experimental about it. now that i'm not afraid to use synths, it should be fun.

my lyrics for tonight:

this was our house
this was were your black eyes shone
taken 7 steps back
it looks a lot like home now

i lay on my back
i wouldn't say it like that
you tripped on your feet

and it was fine until the start
and it was one for us to take
it never lent itself too much
but it lingers in my head a lot

i said you'd never see us through
but that was before you came back
short hair and pieces
of my thoughts of you

leave some under your feet
leave some for the ones there now
take some for your head

this was our house
this was were your eyes shone black


becky's coming over tonight, so i'll hopefully have some more. i can't wait, actually. it'll be fun to have someone record with me. yes, it's about total control over the art. she'll be the, uh talent?
