I seem to be getting worse at making coffee. Maybe its periodization.. (no one is going to get that reference)
New hold Steady is on in the background and hitting the spot. But in the car today it fell flat. Hmmmm.
I am trying to put a mix tape together inspired by Iron & Wine. Here is what I got
King Of Carrot Flowers Part 1
Which Will Nick Drake
Delicate Damien Rice
Goodbye England (Covered In Snow) Laura Marling
Julie Jens Lekman
Lua Bright Eyes
Hi-Fi M. Ward
Only Him Or Me Townes Van Zandt
The Sparrow and the Medicine Tallest Man On Earth
Start A War The National
Golden My Morning Jacket
Jesus, Etc. Wilco
White Winter Hymnal Fleet Foxes
Roscoe MidlakeDetlef Schrempf Band of Horses
Mystifies Me Son Volt
Obviously I need help... Nick Drake is the most obvious. Man I would love a good version of O'Brien
I think it was the hold steady's latest that has inspiried to me to work on song lyrics... I guess its obvious when the line I am working on goes like this:
Maybe Bigfoot was really blurry/And the pictures came out fine/Maybe everything in downtown Minneapolis has to rhyme
Of course I'de need to come up with a bunch more examples of the Big Foot Phenomena. Alex would be helpful here I suspect. And I'd need a point, eventually.
Had Iberian Pig Last night. They're front man is so good at the greet and grin I fall for it every time. He doesn't remember me from Shinola, and I never realize it until I hear him greet the next person the exact same way. Happened to me 3 times yesterday and once months before. He's a Jedi. A forgetful restaurant Jedi.
I had been on a Game Streak against Dave for the last year or two, but he turned it around today with the help of his boy Jason. Good looking kid, him.
Did I mention I hung out with the Todd, and after Wisteria we came back and listed to soft jazz records and drank fancy liquors? We did. Every time I play Check Magione on my old Record Player I crack up.
What?
I got us some Drinking jackets buddy, when you coming back to town.
