A Yesterday In The (new?) Life

I woke up at bout 9:30 by my parents coming in to check their email. When no one was around, I jumped up and pulled on some jeans and my hooded sweatshirt. I probably checked my email before going into the kitchen for to breakfast, but I don't remember. I made a sammich of deli turkey and sliced swiss processed singles. I used the microwave to make it extra good, and put a papertowel under it so it wouldn't get soggy.
Then I went next door to help move stuff over, and ended up cleaning the stuff from what used to be under my old bed from a couple of years ago. Well, like, a year and an half ago. I found tonnes of papers that I had drawn on, and a couple of the charcoal faces were actually kind of neat. I found a couple of my old notebooks that were mostly empty, except for one that was full of old math stuff and little drawings. Some even from before my brother left home. I also found some stuff from Japan under there. Bizarre. Then I cleaned out ye olde bookshelf so we could move it over, and I put all of the books into suitcases for ease of carrying. The "bookcases" as I will call them were then almost impossible to lift. So we just left them there for right now because there's no where to put them in our new house-thing yet. Then I went outside and tried to burn stuff with my blow-torch lighter, but it didn't have enough fuel in it. Plus the snow and everything. So I came back inside and had plans of going to wal-mart to get some zippo fluid, but dad forgot and got his pyjama/lounge clothes on too soon.
So after that, I just chilled out on ye olde PeeSee and drank some beer and played some of ye olde Puzzelle Piraetes. That was fun, too. In Memory of Petey

A Day In The New Life

I woke up and turned on Ben Lee. My little brother, who was sleeping in my room because my other brother was sick, started singing along, and soon we had a rousing morning chorus to welcome the day. Breakfast was Rice Krispies and toast. Sitting at my desk I realized that I needed to write a short testimony and explain why I wanted to be a part of Team Timothy to Thailand this year. I want to hang out and teach little Thai kids how to swear in English. I crossed it out and told myself that this was serious, so smarten up. When that was done me and my little brothers ran some errands around for mom, and then had a light lunch of I forget what. I practiced guitar until it was time to leave for my lesson. I brought my camera along to take some snaps of White Ave., but after my lesson I hadn't enough light. The dial read 45, and 50 if I pointed it up past the dark trees, but for good shots you need 60, really. On my way home mom called and told me to pick up something from the store, and now it was quite dark. I stopped for some pedestrians who were not at a crosswalk and who waved to me in appreciation as they came into the glare of headlights. I didn't bother to wave back. They couldn't see me anyways.

So, I've been listening to The Man Who a tonne and..I realised that it is, without a doubt, no equals, not even second - it's so good, it's second to itself..the Greatest Album of All Time(TM).
I realised that there is not a single song on the whole CD that I do not absolutely love. I can loop any song from The Man Who indefinitely, and it is - by far - the album by which I judge all others.
I got it early in 2000, after returning to America from Japan. I was staying in Alabama, and it wasn't sucking so hard then cos it wasn't hot. I would lay back on the bed at my grandmother's house and just listen to it over and over again. It was my first secular album, and it was like pouring honey in my hear and allowing a hot chick (named Kim) to lick it out.
The songs all have lots of memories attached to them, and the whole album has this wave of nostalgia..
One could say - and, in deed, one might - that I only love this album so because it was my musical cherry-popper, but they would also be wrong. I love this album because, to this day, I have never found an album that I can loop so much, and that has such a wide range of beautiful songs. Every song is so wonderful, and there's not a bad bit of music to be found.

Do yourself a favour, and buy The Man Who, by Travis.

Ben Lee got his start when he was 14, with the indie rock group "Noise Addict." He then went solo and just came out with a new CD, called "Hey You. Yes you." Yet he is virtually unknown in North America. Today's question is, is he that good? The answer is yes, Mel. He is that good. Why has no one heard of him then? Well you see Mel, people are idiots. I see. Thank you, and goodnight Boston.
