Tonight is a chilly night. All the leaves are gone or going. I feel a lot like the lonely trees left behind: skinny, scantily clad.
There is a band from Sweden that I just found out about, Like Honey (perhaps a reference to the legendary Jesus and Mary Chain song). They are a shoegaze pop band, this style is a very logical evolution and I hope it is a sign of things to come. Sometimes I get bummed out on the state of college rock with all the garbage out there but this band gives me hope.
On Saturday I played emmerson coffee house with The Mopes, my new band with Emily and Alec. I think it went really well. We messed up and stuff but it felt good playing, I think there is a really good energy that happens when we play. So far we have about 3 songs and the makings for several more. We have a drummer now too, Steven.
My other band A Leaf just recorded a new song, please listen to it I am very excited about it! http://www.myspace.com/aleafmusic
It's the song called Yesterday Today and Tomorrow.
Moorea, thank you for exposing me to a man that I shall leave unnamed, you know who. "Noah and God we're great buds, God saved Noah from floods"

Who loves the sun? Not everyone.
I love the rain, which probably shows that I am still just a glorified tourist in this rainy town. Pacific northwesterners are cool and all but I don't ever think I will be one, which is just fine by me, I have enough cultural identities already. I have another paper due in an hour, I'm on pace to finish it but it's last minute as always. I don't think I have ever finished a paper ahead of time, not once.
Yesterday I woke up to Nate and Shannon laughing on our couch bed, what a good start to a good day. I went to class then sat around recording with them a lot of the day. We practiced with Steven, he is a small asian man that I lived with this summer. He is an insane drummer, it's like he has a metronome in his brain, that kind of rhythm is something you can't teach. I'm really hoping he decides to play with us more. He is also tentatively going to start playing for my new band with Alec and Emily, we're practicing friday. I think we're gonna play some of our songs for Emmerson's coffee house, sans drums though because it would be too real for the children, harshing mellows is not our thing. Steven, is really gentle and nice, if he joins the band, then between him, Alec, me and Emily we will be the nicest band on earth. Our songs are pretty sweet, I really like the direction it's going. Very simple, very pop.

School
I'm behind in 2 of my 3 classes, in procrastination hell. Mama mia, que tragico. Paper due in 20 mins, I'm almost done, can't think straight.
Obama is leading in 5 of 8 key states, looks like he is a lock. STOKED.
My musical tastes have taken a drastic turn toward the homosexual these days. I would rather listen to The Ronettes or Lesley Gore or The Supremes or Sandie Shaw or France Gall than most anything. What would the 16 year old Pat think of this? He would probably be dissapointed but highly amused. I wish I could be friends with him, we would be really good for each other.
