sittin here in tokyo on the weirdest time schedule ever i am moseying around my darkened room in the morning, gonna go back to bed soon we played a tour in europe , took 5 glorious days off, and now we are in japan to rock again we ended our last leg with four shows in london at earl's court it was a lot of fun some musicians we truly respect came to se us play and that makes us excited i felt like that last leg we were playing some of the best shows we have ever done patti smith came and jammed with us and threw the fuck down not that i have an objective perspective on the situation but we had some good moments i am excited to try and get better as a musician and look for new ways to play and write i want to break through into something new i really wanna be a better musician
listening to thom yorke's new record it sounds beautiful so full of exciting rythyms and melodies and sounds
i tripped around tokyo today and ate ramen and green tea if i was only allowed to eat one kind of food for the rest of my life it would be japanese food but luckily i can eat burritos too and mulligatawny soup and egg in a hole
sometimes i say such embarrassing things i'll be talking to someone and want to get a point across and i end up saying something that sounds so arrogant and it's not what i mean at all and i end up not achieving what i meant to say my humble thoughts jumble and the person i'm talking to probably thinks i am an idiot well, maybe one day i'll learn to relax and say what i mean i'm not talking about the printed press, they never get what i say right anyways even if i do say something cool i'm talking about human beings its like some defense mechanism in me makes me want to protect myself by saying something dumb
well, regarding the media at least i dont say all the dumb shit i used to say when i look back at some old interviews from the 80's boy, i had no business having a microphone in front of my face all the times i thought i was being shocking and i was obnoxious and trite and i thought i was being righteous and i was a narrow minded fool well at least sometimes i speak from my heart and say what i mean in public once in a while................
i have not been by the ocean in so long i really miss it
i am excited to see sonic youth at the fuji rock festival we are playing at the day after tomorrow the last time i saw them they were so great it made me run out and get the records of theirs that i dont have murray street is a really good one im gonna listen to the new one before i see 'em rock!!!!!!!!!
