You Are The Meanest You You Can Be (Fuck Alternate Worlds)
by Dan
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
So let's deal with what's right in front of us. Carrying an awkward watercolour across town, unable to choose between holding the image outward for everyone to see, or inward for everyone to guess at, his cowboy boots clack, their soles beginning to freeze in the air. He dreams he's a southern belle, having just lost her one and only man, and now wears a long black veil for reasons of her own, and reasons not hers at all. His days are numbered, he's not a permanent resident here, anyone can see that.

Your review of the Carlos piece is the most brilliant review ever written by a person. I WILL be reading it every day and night from now on until I'm at least thirty-five. That said, did you make a spelling error? Got yer back, Jones. Posted by Joel Taylor at July 27, 2006 9:56 AMHas Joel ever, ever commented on one of MY posts? I don't think he has... He must dislike me. Joel - you must dislike me. In the imperative. Reluctantly. Posted by Sean at July 27, 2006 10:30 AMi love how those first two lines after wendy was basicaly the sum of my whole freshman year of science Posted by max at July 27, 2006 1:40 PMStill just as good today! (FYI) Posted by Joel Taylor at July 28, 2006 11:32 AMAlso: Should be read aloud. "The swing (of yer prose)'s the thing." Posted by Joel Taylor at July 28, 2006 11:34 AMWonderful. Posted by Dave at July 28, 2006 2:56 PMDan, although I hate music, I like the image of carrying an awkward cooler because that's the kind of challenge I live with on a weekly basis.
