Oh my neighbors and the kindness they showed moi with tickets to A Steady Rain. Wolverine & James Bond star in a Keith Huff play. The difficulty of tamping down my own bizarro expectations of those two studs was weird, but i enjoyed my time.

I love xiu xiu & I read devotedly & unfailingly William Bower's Puritan Blister installments on Pitchfork. #44 is provocative & poignant. Please read it and if you care to share, send me some lines about the column.

I'm enjoying the time off. finished Bolano's Savage Detectives. Wrote some. Grilled. The headphones clamp into my consciousness

1. Xiu Xiu: Knife Play
2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: It's Blitz
3. Jason Lyttle: Yours Truly, The Commuter
4. Andrew Bird: Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs
5. Deerhunter: Rainwater Cassette Exchange.

Today was a day of roberts (Dylan & Pollard) and a late afternoon beer with Miriam. Some playgrounding with Lucas. & some roberting with Lulu.

As this hand makes typing sounds the sounds that are "typing" are typing to the brooding joys of the Danger Mouse Sparklehorse collaboration. The new music was to be accompanied by a book of photos taken by David Lynch. Maybe? maybe not? O the legal hassles, & O the crestfallen. The songs on Dark Night of the Soul were written by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, but feature a different singer on each track.

Dear Morgan Lucas Schuldt, feel better.

Dear free time, I know where my head is at, but I don't know what its been up to.

Dear headphones, please let me finish Grizzly Bear.

Dear skateboarders, please keep riding past my evening window. My descriptive acts won't come close to the sad joy i feel.
