Happy (almost) New Year's!! ..but no pressure. You can have any kind of New Year's you want, it doesn't have to just be happy. As Captain Planet would say: The Power Is Yours!
p.s. What was the deal in that show with the kid who talked to monkeys? Everybody else could shoot out fire or wind or water and he got stuck talking to a monkey. Poor kid got the shaft and didn't even know it. Hopefully in 2007 he'll get a real power like mind-reading or being invisible! I'll drink to that.
ohmygod i just finally found that mstrkrft annie heartbeat mix BELVY i was reminded about how much i fucking miss you and we kill for peace (mostly you) kills me f'real.
ALEX!!!! so cool to find you here - isnt this fun?? i think im even feeling social...but im not sure, so let's just take this slowly.
anyway, glad to see things are still burning along for you and the rest of the Strays - "Last Train" is quite an anthem - that's really some chorus, and its sounds even better than the last time i heard it(probaly live at Sine or some other hotspot...) the other tracks sound great too - and i really liked the more keyoboard-laced stuff on the website. Keep that pusle throbbing - we need a little romance in this city: Everybody is either ashamed of their sweat, or too proud of their stink - it all smells the same to me.
well, im playing a set tommorrow night(sunday) at the Sidewalk cafe on avenue A - i go on at 9 PM. it would be totally fucking explosive to see you there - like digging up a fossil or some other really cool reminder of the past(if not as historically significant - but shit, who's to say this aint our industry to burn??) - but i understand now more than ever how short a day can be. keep in touch regardless and we'll be sure to find each other one of these days.
good luck guys, keep dressing sharp!!
best regards,
mike baglivi
P.S. alex - check out the few songs i have if you can - ive always enjoyed sharing with you. the more feedback i get, the more i appreciate a friend with a good ear, and an even better head. you always had your shit together - the only post punker i know who can love ABBA as much as "Blood on the Tracks".
