Well I guess I have a cold. I couldn’t go to sleep last night because I was rolling around. I kept thinking about the Grateful Dead and how much I used to love to listen to the bootlegs. 12/31/78. Wharf Rat, I Know You Rider. So exciting the transitions between songs. I guess I used to lie in bed at night in high school and listen to those to fall asleep. Then I thought wouldn’t it be cool like Grimey said to start a band and the only recordings you have are live ones people trade on the internet. You’d have to play every night for a couple years but then there would be tons! But you would have no “studio” records. But have really good songs, but the only way to hear them is to trade some bootlegs. Then last night I watched that show “Intervention” about alcoholics and drug addicts. I like watching it for some reason. Anatomies of lives unravelled. L. thinks it is depressing, but I don’t know. I guess it is. I don’t find it depressing for some reason. Then we watched “Hoarders” about people who hoard stuff and can’t get rid of it, and i’m fascinated by that show. I’m fascinated by the process of personification, where people infuse objects with meaning. Went to the Toybox to do the Vinyl only record. Mixing to 2 track tape! It’s nice to think you can make a record and never have the sound inside a computer. It sounds nice and dark. Talked to Angelo yesterday and he is in LA. His record he produced on the Kings of Leon is up for the record of the year Grammy. He said he didn’t have a speech ready. My brother called yesterday and said I should put a Silver Seas song up on “The Sixty One“.
