Now is the season for the delicious and over priced apples like the Honey Crisp. I just spent 5 dollars on 4 apples. But they’re kinda woth it.
They’re really really good.
I feel similarly about a good tangelo. Though it’s the peeling of a tangello that really makes the experience perfect. The skin just falls off.
Funny . . .I’ll spend 5 bucks on apples but I wont spend more than 8 dollars on wine.
We did a preliminary recording of one of my favorite songs of our new repertoire. It’s a song about forgetting things, and things forgetting us. It’s called My Autumn Mind (The “n” in Autumn is so silent I always forget it). We recorded this live so it’s rough around the edges, but i think their is potential for a really cool recording of this in Febuaray when we get serious about recording.

You wrote a very nice letter about being a humongous Nervous and the Kid fan and you were curious about the Lyrics of the Wedding Feast. I somehow lost that email and have not been able to correspond. Please get in touch or resend your email. I’d love to provide the lyrics and chat.

P.S. Here are the lyrics:
Wedding Feast
I’m twice removed from where we’re standing
drunk on wedding cake and wine
the laser beams flash and bisect us
as we move in and out of time
Chorus:
It’s strange kind of groove
that we’re move’n through
G: the dance floor swells like an ocean
but I’m anchored too far from you
Your sliding long the rim of the punch bowl
speaking with this man that you know
making small talk over a paper table cloth
nodding when the music goes slow
I was shipwrecked on Circe’s island
I was tempted by the songs of the Sirens
drank of the lotus blossom
fooled your suitors playing possum
Baby wont you forgive me I was untrue in a dream
but I can see you’re already tying cherry stems round my knees
Chorus
Oh princess Penelope
fold me in your futon and hold me
despite what the gods hold against me
I can still string your bow with ease
Chorus
Baby wont you forgive me I was untrue in a dream
but I can see you’re already tying cherry stems round my knees
Chorus (maybe instrumental?)
For the 10s of 10s of people who have listened to Nervous and the kid over the years, this is truly momentous day. NATK has risen from the dead to pluck and strum it’s way to new heights. New musicians, new music, and new instrumentation. Yay!
Our first show is tonight at the lovelies and hippest hole in the wall in Portland: Valentines. It’ll be a good time for all. 9pm.
(Since this is the first post I’m sure nobody will be reading this. Ho Hum.)
