it seriously breaks my heart that it's been 10 years now since neutral milk hotel has been together...i totally and completely understand their reasoning for no longer making music together...but their songs absolutely kill me..and to think that their second gig ever played was in my hometown....granted i was 6 years old at the time and it wasn't my 'hometown' yet (nor is it really even my 'hometown' now, honestly i hate the place)...god they're so good... |

it's kind of cool how the whole sacre coeur street performing crew is tight.......
like once i met midou and lucie, i saw lucie around again while performing...they also introduced me to the spanish guitar player guy who comes around and talks to me now..then last night when i took melissa up to the church for a picnic they were all up there, as well as the clown guy and some fire jugglers/spitters....everyone chilled together on the steps and shared wine and cheese and rum and cigarettes and passed around a guitar while we all sang bob marley and the beatles and banged on bottles until it started raining and even then we stayed a little longer |

The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart
Because they'll be losing bodies tonight
And Rob says you love, love, love, and then you die
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
But I just keep on getting up again |

today i was street performing up at sacre coeur and this guy stopped to talk to me because i was playing egyptian music and he was egyptian apparently...so he played my zills for a while while i danced and his friend lucie was there watching as well...and we chatted a bit and they were like, 'let's go get a coffee.' so on the way to the same cafe that we all knew we ran into some guy they knew (or had met once maybe?) and he was like, 'let's have a drink at my house instead.' so we crammed into his tiny tiny apartment ---seriously, mine is tiny, and his was half the size --THE BED WAS ON TOP OF THE BATHROOM...so i sat around with the friendliest total strangers, laughing and singing and drinking apple vodka, and then we all switched phone numbers and decided to hang out tomorrow, heading to our prospective homes once it started getting dark. that's exactly what it's like to live in montmartre. |

Okay, I have a weird favor to ask of you Louisiana folk,
I have a new Frenchy friend here who loves Louisiana and he works at EuroDisney and plays in a Cajun band here...and for some reason he needs a picture of this thing:
Have any of you heard of a riverboat (maybe on the Natchez river?) that does tours and has a Cajun/Zydeco band that plays on it? My friend needs a picture of it for EuroDisney (don't ask why, I don't really understand either)...sooo...hook us up!!! We we love you and send you jambalaya from France! Hmmm maybe not, but we will still love you. |

-doing some good ukuleleage, got a good bit of the song i'm working on down...problem is i have no ear for tuning, and it's out of tune once again....eek
-have a new sketchbook and will remember to take it with me everywhere so i can start my sketching diary...
-hopefully my bike pass works and now i can bike everywhere.
-BellyQueen workshop and performance tomorrow!!!! yessssss

anyone been to Quebec city?? looking at a grad-school there in the translating department.
I hear Montreal would be more my style, but apparently QC it's more Francophone only, which is what I want.
I dunno if I can deal with the cold though!!! pffftttttt

[Mar. 20th, 2008|09:38 am] |
did other people know about this already??? A NEW ALBUM???
"Brian and I have been cranking WICKED hardcore to ready a collection of photos for THE NEW SONGBOOK, which will hopefully be released at the same time as our forthcoming record, "No, Virginia". The book will include piano/vocal/guitar notation for ALL of "Yes, Virginia" and "No, Virginia", plus the requisite treasure trove of weird shit, stories, alternate lyrics, photos, and more flotsam and jetsam than you can shake a stick at.
love, amanda"
this better be available to me in France...
