rain

Dark little snippets of sound coming in from the web. It's like 2002 in the headset. Back to the days of endless rain and Livingston wine by the jug. Black outs, spending all day in bed, coming out for class (sometimes) and eating sandwiches in the rain (because it seemed reasonable). Soggy bread and wet sweatshirts (the smell of pulling that soaked thing off of her). Nothing but hazy hellos and messy goodbyes. It was always so cold for most of the school year, and the streets were greased and poorly lit. And the music never went as loud as you wanted it.

Now dark progression comes up from makeshift studios in tiny bedrooms the world over. Things we could be doing.

This December will be an experiment in taking the bedroom outdoors. It will be cold in California. But hopefully, dry. More to come. Stay awake.
