this is, as i guess YOU (the 2 people who will read this) know, my second entry on what I hope will be a grand and illustrious journey towards....well i guess NONE of this will do me any good...
i finally got the Smiths' Singles CD which has almost all (if not all--I've only listened to it once through) of my favorites of theirs--and I threw down the windows of my sister's car, turned up the volume and drove down union street colorado springs--singing, "if a ten ton truck...."
it was nice--and in tallahassee i'd worry about being trite--but here in colorado springs *where they're at least a year behind* I think...the smiths are not yet overplayed... *oh god the paranoia--I just really don't wanna try to hard to be anything i'm not or not try to be something I am? and...umm...okay I got lost there somewhere*
i also got Aretha's Best---caaaaaause I'm gay.
*needless to say, some of the songs are NOT her best*
i'm slowly weaning my parents off of the drum-less, bass-less, christian faux-music they've been listening to and onto, well--this week I exposed them too: wilco's stfu (hah....yhf), beck's sea change, air's virgin suicides, the flaming lips' yoshimi.., AND the aforementioned Smiths' album.
----when my mother doesn't remember to be the STANDARD BEARER OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHRISTIANDUMB--she actually seems to like my music....
well--I wanted to write something better than just a JOURNAL entry--but that's all for now kids. NOW--to get honey darjiiling with my favorite sister.
