four track tape hiss two microphones a guitar gain knob at nine o clock volume at three o clock natural distortion and toy keyboards; bumpin moog bass. beats from the brain box, bleeps from sketchily obtained keyboards and everything transferred to analog tape.

What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upwards towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it. -Ursula K. Le Guin

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
"It's not about being pure. It's not about keeping your hands clean or avoiding guilt. Imagine birds living in a forest. Humans come and cut the forest down and build barns and plant crops. If some birds are able to live in the barns, or eat the crops, they don't say, "I'm not going to live in the barn -- that's cheating," or "I'm not going to eat the crops, because then I'm just part of the system." Of all the species on Earth, only humans are that stupid.
Now, that doesn't mean you should accept all gifts. Sometimes the "crops" are poisoned or the "barns" are traps."
So this coming Saturday we got a show in downtown portland at The Grind Coffee house. would LOVE to get as many people to come as possible! it's a free show so just bring a friend and come have some coffee and enjoy some music. starts at 7 p.m. all the rest of the details are on our page
wait I've got it. So I was thinking about how Robin thinks he is hot stuff, always wanting to offer advice and opinions when they are unwanted. So then I thought, oh my gosh, that is just like AP! So they could totally be friends! And MD could be like, the tag-along friend who always wants to be included on their escapades, but they don't take him seriously. bahaha, i am getting too into this.
haha yeah, its where i played my first show! and i've heard of your band, but who hasn't? anyway, it'd be cool to play with you guys! as for dates i have no specific one in mind, but i'll take any one you can give me. so please let me know, and thank you very much!
i think a prime spot or at least i know where the most perfect tree is. its by fort vancouver i think. right by clark and the library. i once smoked in this tree.
