Falling Apart

i like listening to emily play the piano.. she just does a lot of stuff by ear. kinda remarkable. i usually have to work a lot harder to acheive considerably less. frustrating.

in any case.. i wrote a song about getting older, but i started with the creepy trio of banjo, piano, and theremin.. that really set the tone. morgan came over to record some christmas stuff and he let us hang onto the theremin for a bit. i've only managed to find one song for it, so far.. it's a pretty hard instrument to play on purpose. but i put it through a compressor pedal and a little delay stomp box and into an amp.. certainly made it much dirtier - it's similar to how i want my guitar to sound sometimes. ha! anyways, the song is odd - it's an old poem i wrote at o'malley's one evening, and it seems kinda bitter when i listen to it.
'Falling Apart' yr a stain to be seen in. i'm not a boy without feelings. i'm not a sociopath.

but all that is nonsense compared to my birthday.

i got the two things i really wanted/needed, in order.

i got a bass guitar. and subsequently put it down on two funk/dance tunes.

i got a banjo mic/pickup thing. that'll make it possible for me to play banjo with the revolution. yee haw.

now i just need a drum machine. and a panda head.
