"all those animals on the extinction list - they obviously didn't deserve to make it."

eric burdon is one of the best singers of all time - the animals singularly informed my freshman year of college, linking me to my parents who played 'we gotta get out of this place' out their dorm room windows in the late '60s. always so deperate, so strained and i simply couldn't imagine them giving a lackluster show.

thinking of doing a covers project - just me reinterpreting things like 'noise annoys' by the buzzcocks and doing some lame wanna be nico style stuff. i'm pulled both ways - wanting to be badass and demure in my vocals. oh, the life.

am burning my first mix cd for the indie pop list. makes me feel incredibly old. the girl who sent me one made the most lovely little package, all the music really just fits in the waxy beige envelope. now i'm forced to realize people really listen to masters of the hemisphere and things like that - that given a mix of it, i may enjoy it myself. i like the idea of mixtapes from strangers although it is a bit frightening. i am sending a bit of my diary out to another home, another stereo, two ears that love sound as much as i do.
