Juliana and I are both sick. Gross snottiness abounds.

I'm working on new ways to work. I don't think that I can survive in this world unless I'm doing something that's meaningful to me. All those people who spend years and years at jobs that mean nothing more than a paycheck... I don't know how they do it. I don't think that I have the...

Yeah, I'm sort of that way too. I mean I didn't question it before but I couldn't in good conscience pass it on like that. Still, it's funny how much allegience one has to something even if it's not correct.
I keep thinking I gave those to you already! Maybe I'll stop by tuesday evening.
I have to listen to your stuff some more, I've only done a preliminary scan,then got sidetracked.
But I'm not blowing it off!!

The vocal on Electric Fence sounds just like David Bowie, with a shovelful of Leonard Cohen's gravelly-ness. Actually the second song, St. Martha, I immediately latched onto because of the banjo...though I'm not quite sure of the full harmonic vocals yet --sort of Crosby, Stills and Nashy.
I can get really picky about the vocals. Even had to work on accepting Calexico's singer...he definitely the "Cal" part of the name. The reason why I'm picking it out on these albums means I'm already into the rest of the sound.
I like the singer's voice in Pedro the Lion, it's straightforward, steady, without pretense, and I like the first song a lot and see potential in others when I'm in more of a rockin out mode.
I really took to the way mercury rev starts- symphonic, sweeping, almost cinematic (reminds me of Hem) but then the voice comes in and was really jarring! Will take some listening to before the verdict's in. Part of me wants it to blend in but I could see that being too smarmy. However it's bordering on that Neil Youngish high whine...
The vocals on Sparklehorse are high, too, but they sound more integrated with the instruments, and feel a little less wobbly.
Yeah, I can talk a lot about this stuff.
I can talk a lot in general.
I listen then we talk soon.
sentence structure dizzolving!
Too late, must sleep.

oh--Do you know Doves, or The Books?

a four hour bath with you.

steam curling off the surface of the water,

candlelight clinging to your curves

and singing in your eyes

that shimmer to put the bathwater to shame.

Goddamn it! I just accidentally reased a HUGE email! I made a type-o while typing the last line and hit backspace. For some stupid trackpad-related reason, instead of erasing the last few words that I'd typed, it backed me through the last few pages I'd been to in that window, and everything I'd written got lost in the accidental shuffle!!

grrrrrrrrrrrr

ROAD TRIP UPDATE #2
***********************************

We've come as far as Gillette, Wyoming. This has been my favorite state so far. It's so, so beautiful.

We saw both the S.D. Badlands and Devil's Tower yesterday. Devil's Tower was easily one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.

Free wireless connections in hotel rooms make me very happy.

Not every having enough time to write kinda...

ROAD TRIP UPDATE
*******************************
We're in Beloit, Wisconsin! Drove all the way here from Rochester, NY yesterday. Tons of great pictures, and some good videos, too, but no time to show any of that now. We happened across an internet cafe here in little Beloit, and so I just have time to post a little something before we're off again.

All I gotta say so...
