They wanted to hear that sound
that you didn't want to play

It's dark outside. And I'm holed up and feeling sad thanks to things I have welcomed in:
Into the Wild was very sad in the end, great and moving, but sad in that there could have been a way to prevent the young man's death, and because only a matter of days separated his death from the time that people happened upon his camp;
Cat Power's new album You Are Free; good, but goddamn, I blame my current state on this album, at least the second half, makes me feel that a cold, solitary death would be suitable;
Dirty Three's new one, She Has No Strings Apollo, the uplifting music of the day, but still, it's Dirty Three, and they have a tendency to make me quiet.
Maybe I'll start reading Huck Finn today.
And the new Joan of Arc is, not to be an ass, alot better than I anticipated.
