Feed it

I stumbled upon the band Grandaddy while researching Modest Mouse, and got amped on their garage-y sound. That somehow spun me on to an Elliot Smith binge, which always hurts. Brilliant musicians always seem to have such misfortune. Did you know that Johnny Marr (from The Smiths) played in Modest Mouse for three years? How cool is that? Now I know why I want to get really famous: so that I can collaborate with my idols...

Today I have another day free from the confines of paid-labour, and will make good on it by folding clothes and making noise. Friends: dial me, type me, comment towards me or just show up at my door. I'm around and willing. I'm beginning to get food ideas, and they might direct me towards a delicious heaping of satisfying eats.

As I was dozing off last night, I came up with a new song. Some of which goes: 

'you guys don't know, so just get out of my way
because I'm eating -- I'm eating your soul'
