I actually learned “Take to the Sky” because the girl from “Touch” was endlessly dying her hair red, so when Yucca challenged me to record it about 13hours ago i hardly even batted an eye. This isn’t the most coherent version i’ve ever committed to digital record, but the quality vs. clip ratio is perfect, so, enjoy. Oh, and, um, “Bliss”… just ignore that. Earlier this week i just decided that i really needed to cover “Bliss” in a really inefficient fashion… that’s all there is to that.

Hmm, or i could talk about what i’m supposed to be talking about.


I was asexual in high school, but it was more that i was being pulling in both directions than i was stuck in the middle. Everyone assumed i was gay because i liked shiny clothes and chick rock; i was desperately interested in girls who wouldn’t even begin to think of my not because they didn’t like me, but because i didn’t really qualify for romantic consideration. So, there was this one girl, and even though i had been rebuffed by her once or twice she had finally begun to see me as somewhat of an individual. With her seeing me as a person … an image of a person that was nearly what i was underneath all the assumptions, i thought that maybe i still had a chance with her (or, at least more of a chance than with anyone else). I’ll never know, though, because the day i wrote “Touch” was my last chance to cross that line between friend and otherwise (“can i fly faster than the silences, or cross miles past the line”). And, of course, “Under My Skin” is famously about when i finally kissed someone, but it’s about time to post another a/b-side, so you’ll have to hang on for that.

hi. i got my first viewer mail and it pertained to comments i made about drugs in the post where i talked about “goodbye.” response time. hi. i responded to you privately, but just because i seem to have been mislabeled as some kind of narc i’d like to point out that i support the decriminalization of marijuanna, controlled use of LSD, and the decrease in stringent ecstacy laws. None of those things might ever become a reality in the united states because you have a bunch of indulgent capitalist teenagers running amuck and ingesting anything anyone will hand to them, but it’s not really the government’s place to tell an adult whether or not s/he can smoke pot when s/he’s already allowed to drink, smoke tobacco, and own a firearm. Try that one on for size.
