life and music bound together to the point of confusion. what is work, what is jazz, what is cat the dog barking at? purple's a fruit, and james blood ulmer sure knows how to pick an apple off your momma's cherry tree. so, um, like, as I was...feeling...straight in 98? you can't handle the truth. sex mob rules. wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes....even if it was for just one day. my shoes are very hot, it's so damn hot up here in our treehouse, the fucking heater keeps pouring steam from the downstairs radiators and between that and everybody's phone covnersations in the bottom offices, it creates a certain kind of butt sweat that reminds me that I have to pick up my laundry after work. but anyway, with 2 dozen humans working in our tribeca loft, working here is all about the battlesounds - amy's trying to listen to GBV on her dinky computer system, glenn's got zappa blaring out of his slightly less dinky computer stereo, d.bias has his head nodding to dj shadow on his yellow jeep stereo, gratzer goes with the headphones, but they all have stereo envy because we've got the biggest and the loudest and between velybelly and his stereo-lab infected beatstie boy-threadgill swagger comes seth's living testament to will oldham or margaret's eclectic mix of cheesey 80s love songs (which she claims is a tape that her video store guy gave her) and my latin tinge(?)....our world is a getto. so joe, what do you know? dare to keep kids off drugs...dare to work with us, for us, against us....your life will never be the same. fuck mtv, this is the real world (save a minor absence of external color....laten homosexuality lurks within most) check us out, come by for a snack, or maybe a late night hang at the tap bar with ben perowsky and friends. I thought about quitting this freak-house the other day but could never imagine what my life would be like (at least for now) without this fucking place...life and music bound together to the point of confusion. I am so confused.
