friends,

it's raining and dreary in san francisco tonight, but - despite the mood - i'm happy to deliver episode 243! tonight begins where last week left off, and features a few (more) of my lo-fi songs from back in the day (a.k.a. 1994), along with some (more) rambling and perspective from me in the present (a.k.a. tonight).

for whatever reason, i've noticed that old songs tend to put me in a bit of a strange/embarrassed/defensive mode somehow - which is difficult to explain and say correctly. i'm not sure if the "defensive" part comes through (hopefully not), but the feeling of it makes me curious nonetheless. i'm fascinated by how life and age and time and experience change us - how our current selves are both opposite and identical to our young(er) selves - how we remember being the earlier version of us, and are that person now, and also aren't at all. it's weird. hm. i fear i'm not making any sense, so i'll stop typing. :)

alas, if you have time, i hope you can take a listen.

love,
russell

ps - please don’t forget the links i mentioned:

1) you can hear samples from (and buy) the procrastinistas cd at: cdbaby.com/cd/procrastinitas, or on itunes (if you search for the procrastinistas).

2) the lectures by nick cave are out of print, but reviews are still on amazon and at nick-cave.com.
