drawing cats on my jeans in high school.

when i play for my cat she meows at me in a greatly annoyed (or maybe concerned) way and tries to get me to stop. she really hates accordions.

i think that the internet and ipods, etc., take away something. i think art and music go hand in hand, and when you lose the album cover or the color of the casette tape, then it's less interesting, to me at least. but, the internet is Great for sharing music, and finding new bands, and that's cool. though, the library has a lot of music too, if you're patient.

no, but maybe if a super cool local label thought i was cool, i'd do it.
