I hope he doesn't see this before everyone else does. I love Bill Martin. I love him so much that I'm using his computer to tell him how much I love him.

I love you Bill.

I was going to add a post script saying Now make God rock! but I thought that would be overdoing it.

-> Thurston Moore wrote this op-ed piece that I saw a bunch of places yesterday.


You wouldn't know it now by looking at MTV, with its scorn-metal buffoons and Disney-damaged pop idols, but the underground scene Kurt came from is more creative and exciting than it's ever been. From radical pop to sensorial noise-action to the subterranean forays in drone-folk-psyche-improv, all the music Kurt adored is very much alive and being played by amazing artists he didn't live to see, artists who recognize Kurt as a significant and honorable muse.
-> I hope that BBC Radio will be streaming this. Nick Drake made some really gorgeous music.
Today is a school holiday and I am talking to Knowlton, who has her watch wound some five hours ahead of Eastern Standard. She tells me she is going to take Japanese to "find out what those little symbols are." Part of my bottom lip is swelling up for no reason at all. I'm hunting around imdb and reading some hilarity (thanks Jamie). Erynn just signed off but she sends her love. I'm going to call Craig and ask for Lamar... my goal is to have him to exclaim "darn this counter-culture" and toss his "celly" from his current 4x4 while moving furtniture "for no one in particular" (Morrissey, Stephen; 1985). See, this lack of sleep is making me do parenthetical ish like that. I'm trying a new Friday strategy that may involve sleeping the afternoon hours away. But I'll be up this early again tomorrow morning to take five 35-minute sections of logical reasoning and reading comprehension. Weird.
