strange, ever since i wiped out my ipod, i've just kinda rejected it,....i have a few hundred songs uploaded,....but i just, havent felt musical,....untill the green came

it is spring time here in texas, the blue bonnets are out, the temperature is now ranging into the 80s, all the animals are having babies,.....and its time to enjoy the world around me again

the next few months are really shapeing up for me musically,.....neil young

yes i said it,...neil ****ing young

i cant even begin to explain what this show means to me,....if there's a neil young fan, they're sittin in front of my lap top

i cant remember my life without him in it,.....as a child my daddy would sing heart of gold to me (neil is his favorite songwritter),....harvest was one of the first albums i ever owned,.....in high school i developed a great love for his work with crazy horse, and crosby stills and nash,.....but it wasnt until i was older than i understood just what neil means to me

neil young is the bridge between me and my daddy,....one of the only real bridges we have,....

old man, take a look at my life,.....i'm ALOT like you

as soon as i heard he would be in dallas i called dad
me: "dad"
dad: "hey"
me: "so neil young is gonna be in town,.....if i forgo christmas and my birthday this year, do you think you could get us tickets"
dad: "well,...uh,.....dont you want to go to georiga to see mom with us this year,...we will be there when he's here"
me:"uh,...DAD! NEIL YOUNG WILL BE IN DALLAS"
dad: "ha ha ha,....ok ok ok i see your point, pick out two tickets and i'll have them mailed to you"
me: (screaming and crying) "thanks dad"

so thats how i came upon two,...TWO,...tickets
i'll be taking my best friend krista, who just moved from tulsa to san fran and will be flyin in for the show because i cant imagine anyone else in my life besides dad that i would be emotionally ready to share the show with

neil young,....i'm SO EXCITED

a mere month after that, i'll be sittin on the lawn watchin jack johnson with my step mother, dad, and new brother,......while i enjoy jack johnson, i never would have thought to go see him,...but he's my step mother's favorite and i look forward to seeing how it effects her,.....

i anticipate love,.....lots and lots of love, beaming from everyone and i'm just gonna soak it up

another month after that,...KINGS OF LEON,.....say what you will, but i really really really love kings of leon,....thats my birthday present from my mother, and eventhough she wears earplugs through shows, i'm excited to see them with her

then its on to south by southwest,.....pearl jam, levon helm, and so many others,....

its spring time

its SPRING TIME

ITS SPRING TIME!!!

let the music in

i'm going to attempt to put into words what i saw alittle over a week ago

the events that led up to my night with neil young dont matter, what matters begins as soon as i stepped out of my car, and into the parking garage across the street from the myerson symphony center

everyone seemed to be just a buzz,....from suits to sun dresses, jeans and 30 year old concert tee shirt, 8 year old kids standing between their parents, aging hippies, neo hippies, not a cowboy hat in sight, not even a cowboy boot,.....everyone seemed to be just as excited as i was to soak up the energy

i was worried that i had jacked myself up to much,....that i had put too much on neil,....that coming off such an amazing lucero experience, i may not be able to hold up the level of excitement that i wanted to,.....i wanted tears, i wanted a spiritual experience, i wanted to be in that groove that allowed me to be the second person in a room that was full,.....i needed it to be like that

and it was

set list:
My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
Tell Me Why
Helpless
You Never Call
Peaceful Valley
Love and War
Down by the River
Hitchhiker
Ohio
Sign Of Love
Leia
After The Gold Rush
I Believe In You
Rumblin'
Cortez The Killer
Cinnamon Girl

Encore
Old Man
Walk With Me

i hate to admit, while i was receptive to whatever he gave us,.....the one song i had to hear,...had to like my life depended on it,....old man

i bawled like a baby, i sang along,.....i held the hand of the guy who sat next to me because i could feel him tear up too,.....

honestly the best musical experience of my life

it amazes me he still rocks so hard,....he was in a good mood, jovial, talking to us, laughing with us, receiving everything we sent his way

i wish i could put it into better words, i wish i could say more
i feel like i have so much to say, but just,....cant,...

i'm still on neil young high

austin austin austin

after a quick over night trip, a stop at the cathedral of junk and some cornmeal and banana pancakes from the magnolia (for you locals, the south congress location is home to my second favorite tree,...its in the back, and a giant oak,.....if you get a chance stop by and make sure you touch it)

i realize just how much dallas music stores suck

sure you have bills tapes and records, which was much better at the old location,...but hey sometimes they hand out free beer and who wouldnt love that

we also have good records over on lower greenville and the monday night movies are great,...but

neither one or no End of an Ear

if youre ever in austin skip waterloo and make your way there

the staff was extremely cool, the used section is expansive, and the vinyl is beautiful and smartly organized

my recent purchases included:

wu tang the swarm on vinyl for like four bucks
the octopus project - identification parade
sufjan stevens - age of adz
dr dog - takers or leavers
mudhoney - piece of cake

last night i saw the legendary pink dots, at the house of blues in dallas

show high lights:

eddies orange linen fisherman pants and black caftan
the shoes i painted for(black toms with a big pink dot on the top of the left toe, and a much much smaller one on the back of the right heel,....now signed in silver sharpie)
the news of serious plans for a fall tear garden tour
white coats and haloes
almost tribal beats i never picked up on before
sitting on the floor
the weather sounds at the beginning of soft toy
a theremin

compared to how i view their catalog as a whole,...i felt like the over all tone of the show was extremely positive, which was perfect for my first show as i was afraid it would be more dark than what i wanted to deal with yesterday

over all experience: amazing,...educational,.....

but hopefully it was all just foreplay to an upcomming tear garden tour

thanks conan

over the past few weeks i have really emursed myself to a lot of electronic based music,....a lot of dub step,....and wutang

but driving home from work yesterday,....through the sounds of a monday in down town dallas,....

past the ladies going in and out of neiman marcus' flag ship store,.....past the homeless guys, and the young professionals

past the sandwich shops, and starbucks' (one of them my own),.....past the green building and the myerson,....

i shuffled my ipod and these two songs played back to back,.......it made my day, it made me feel everything i wanted to,....and provided the perfect soundtrack as i got the hell outa the city

sometimes i forget who i am,....i really do
as someone who has such a strong sense of self i find my evolution to be overwhelming at times, and i just need to reconnect to the girl i once was to remember the woman i have become

texas country, alt country, red dirt,...whatever you want to call it connects me to that older, or maybe younger (depending on how you look at it) self
