   About berta
pop, punk, country, folk, rock, indie, blues, soul, funk... everything and anything else i use like spices - subtle mixes produce unique tastes. sometimes i borrow, steal, imitate and flatter one spice for a more traditional recipe, yet each retains the distinct flavor of berta. you can't escape your own smell, as it were. berta is like an onion: pungent and multi-layered. simple and easy to use, its familiarity is comforting; its absence disquieting. you would say, 'where's the onion, where's berta?' and i would say, 'eat me.'

Ouais enfin, ça sonne, c'est beaucoup dire... l'enregistrement est vraiment plus que limite (quoique ce Zoom H2 soit un outil bien sympa)! Mais c'est gentil à toi de nous encourager!(et c'est vrai qu'en vrai ça sonne! Mais il va falloir qu'on se paie quelques jours de studio, ça me démange trop... et c'est frustrant!)
Je t'avais fait écouter la maquette de "A notre espoir, regrets éternels"? Je crois qu'il va déchirer, celui-là...

My new fancy schmantzy toilet has water constantly flushing through it; it's an enamelware jardiniere toilet on a shoot, festooned by a soap boat floating in the water. I forced my hand up and inside into the water to poke at the boat. The result? The water flushed with MORE force which caused the boat to tip on its side.

I waited with the others in the hotel for instructions, and while waiting I scoured through the bins of antiquarian gas station attendant uniforms. A gap toothed tailor approached me to recommend his dentist, who, he said, only charges $149 to pull out one tooth and break off a second with wire cutters.
