There is a wall outside my window
I’ll have to learn to like walls
Or change windows

if i started a band...

if i started a band called Bill Banning and the White Pages, would you join it? What would you play or do for the band? I'm totally open to suggestions…

simile

like milk stares at cereal

lost socks

also I have been listening to the new Matthew Dear record - Black City - it is good but so far i am not as in love with it as his prior - Asa Breed

and as a result of watching the movie Synth Britannia and working on a play called Speech and Debate I have been digging through old eighties pop vaults... it is quite enjoyable - i wish i had a copy of the Depeche Mode album Speak and Spell... while digging thru the old stuff i was listening to one of my favorites from the early eighties Jive My Baby from Duck Rock by Malcom McLaren it seems to presage both the album Graceland and The Sugarcubes - i started reading a little bit about the album and McLarens Inspiration and what various folks had to say and my reading led me to Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens

- so great!

and here's one more from the eighties - it makes me think of The Pixies - I wonder if Frank Black is a Trio fan?

what?!

my phone thinks it's 2008...
i thought it was connected to like some military clock...
or some national clock...
some big master clock, via satellite or something...

i don't want it to be 2008.
a lot has happened since then.

some good books and records and movies have come out.
i've changed a lot of diapers.

and cleaned a lot of litter boxes.

this is not how time travel should work.
