so, it's summer, i guess. i can tell because i'm sweating. or maybe i'm sweating cuz i'm nervous. so i guess it's always summer.
some people really love the summer. and i'm not opposed to it. especially when i see the girls in their summer clothes. girls sunning themselves by the river, in their two-pieces, who won't let you take their picture. but i digress.
i like the out of doors. sure. i guess. but you know what my idea of a perfect summer day is? besides, you know, me and the girl in the two piece? it's me, alone in my room, blinds shut, fan on, and the scratch and pop of a bamboo needle on a shellac disc. i stole most of that line from costello by the way. such a great line. from a great song. 'the other end of the telescope'. but that's another post. but look it up. i forget if i've put it on any mixed discs lately....
uh...summer...perfect day...great lou reed song, btw....oh yeah. me, alone in my room. i did it the other day. closed my eyes, artificial wind cooling me. i listened to 'lie down in the light' by bonnie 'prince' billy. you've heard of him. sure you have. greatest living american songwriter, etc. new one is great. he is an inspiration. one of the few old guard who keeps getting better.
listened to bowie. 'heroes'. sigh...i, i would be king.
oh, and i busted out some old stray cat singles. the 'sexy and 17' single. with 'the girl on my left(is looking better every beer)'. so great. i've got a funny brian setzer story. i'll tell it to you sometime.
and i threw on some ornette colem. 'america'. his classical piece.
and the sun started to sink. and i sweat less. i thought about turning off the fan.
and somewhere, people were outside, enjoying the weather, enjoying each others company.
and i thought i might be missing something.
but only for a minute.

that noise? those people enjoying each other's company? that was us. and i would've preferred setzer. or even a seltzer.
