it appears that what i had to say was so wise, so prolific, so moving that it needed to be written twice to really hit home.

in other news. if you haven't picked up elliott smith's "from a basement on a hill" yet, do yourself a favor and take a listen. absolutely gorgeous and worth your money. this is no devoted-fans-only-need-listen kind of release ala buckley's "sketches."

i think ray sold out the paradise next weekend, which means i waited too long to buy my ticket. if anyone knows of an extra, contact me and i'll love you forever. but regardless, i plan on playing in boston. you, me, photo booth photos and grasshopper. you in?
