You titled today’s entry, “How We Dealt with the Tracers.” The mangled carapace of our 1997 Honda Civic spelled out the conclusion, “Not Well.”

We mutually decided that synthetic psychedelics were not our thing.

Teenage Fanclub – Maharishi Dug The Scene

don’t misunderstand. i remember what happens.

Low – Will The Night (Demo Version)

All good bands are derived from Flipper.

Divorce – Juice Of Youth

Merry Christmas, etc.

2009 Holiday Mix

(drop.io link. tracklist in the comments. leave your own comments.)

What you called “trumped-up” was really no more than the separation of positive and negative.

Saint Etienne – Only Love Can Break Your Heart

“I’m not much for the outdoors,” I said. “There are bugs there.”

Pens – High in the Cinema

The raft was bound with telephone cords (the spirally kind). We knew we wouldn’t get far, but anywhere was far enough.

The Knife – We Share Our Mother’s Health

The clouds broke. Light shone through. A pair of heavenly beings failed to descend. What trailed was just a bunch of damp leaves.

Factums – Don Quixote

I spent the afternoon hanging out with an elderly Dolores Haze. Nothing hinky happened. We listened to records.

Inside Riot – Dance With Me

I used to hate things much more intensely. It’s hard to say what happened.

(too lazy. follow me on twitter or something.)

Tonstartsbandht – Midnite Cobras

I died when I was twenty-one.

Class – Strobe Light

We’re as frumpy as we wanna be.

The Hunches – Not Invented

With a strong a predilection for inaction, how did I end up with all these bruises?

Cold Cave – The Trees Grew Emotions and Died

Theft is clearly justified when reaching for perfection.

jj – ecstasy

What I thought you made me feel turned out to be pure prestidigitation.

I’d be cool with it if you did it again.

The Pink Noise – Go Downtown
