I have five nights of this to look forward to and already the group I'm touring with is thinking maybe another room wouldn't be a bad idea. Coming from La Ronge, the motel I stayed at was a castle. Wide screen TV, kitchenette, full double beds, and what a view! sure, the swarms of flies were a bother, but Lloyd is just painful. I'm definitely focusing on the far off idea that this will be over someday. November will come. Luckily this is also the longest and largest leg of the tour. Two weeks is a long time. two months is even longer.
I think I've finally gotten over my mad Mew kick. For the past three weeks I've only listened to And The Glass Handed Kites as well as Frengers by Dutch rock group Mew and these albums seem to have receded into some regular place in my album rotation (of course I am listening to And the Glass Handed Kites right now...)
Who cares, right? Well I often associate albums with a particular time in my life, and these Mew albums remind me of better albeit shallower times in my life, as well as a future time that I haven't arrived at yet. It's a fun, sometimes maddening, way to chronicle my life through auditory memory.

Not really something I'm thinking about, but at the same time, all that I'm thinking about.
Ugh. Five more nights here.

couldn't agree more about the music stuff. something i also was posting about last week. certain albums and songs set the tone to our experiences and help describe our emotions - the soundtrack to our lives.
For sure. There are periods of my life that I've totally forgotten about until I play a certain album. It's always thrilling to be aware of when you are conditioning yourself with a particular album at a particular time too.
