a) i saw RJD2 a few days ago and unfortunately, i was in such a horrible mood i wasn't really able to enjoy the show whatsoever, but now i'm absolutely crazy about Ghostwriter and Cut out to FL and i want to slap myself for not taking advantage of hearing him perform live and dancing my heart out. i'm making up for it in the living room, though.

b) what is wrong with me? i lived in nevada city for five years and yet, just now, am i realizing how absolutely amazing Hella is. of course, they were always amazing, but fuck, i never realized exactly how amazing they are. the drumming, oh my!

c) again, regretting the whole living in nevada city and not really taking the opportunity to enjoy all the nevada city musicians as much as i could have. why did i never at least have a small, even just cordial and polite, conversation with Aaron Ross? i think i told him how wonderful i thought Warlock was, but that's it.

d) for some reason, i never really thought much of Devendra Banhart before, but he very well may become the soundtrack for this summer. Electric Heart! (oh i can't even tell you how much i'm looking forward to this summer in portland. even just the few cruel beautiful days scattered against the otherwise gloomy gray and constant rain have been unbelievable. everyone is ridiculously happy and it's impossible to be in a bad mood.)

e) i'm sure i had more to add to this list, but i've forgotten it and this is getting a little long anyhow.
