what is cutting? i asked.
nevermind. he replied.
what is breaking, what is juggling?
you're like a kid! it's like, why is the sky blue, why this, why that?
i said, i know why the sky is blue:

i went to see dave brubeck at the hill but i can't remember much of it anymore because afterwards franz and i went to crazy wisdom and saw a black man with an acoustic sing and recite poetry. im thinking im way over my head with this music critic business. i was never one with much to say. i don't like those ppl who tell others how to think and now ( Read more... )

to be honest i didn't really connect with sigur ros as much as i wanted to. all this white space! this won't be one of those pieces that writest itself. i did meet an interesting character at the state theater, this 32 year old dude named michael dreyer--who was vietnamese, but was adopted. he practically told me his life story. he is a drummer for ( Read more... )

*i found me a date by calling up this rotc guy for ice cream

so why do i still get a funk everytime i remember the last few days?

franz and i went out. apparently necto has a red room, two flights down the main floor. drum and bass is cool, but it seemed to lack something. maybe it was the DJ's fault. Franz was telling me all about jungle. MCs would normally be present, but the Ann Arbor offering is nothing against the scene in New York where he used to be known as DJ Yakko ( Read more... )
