Dear best friend, thank you for the Windex.


I got an album I love. I'm continually listening to it (see The Cinnamon Phase on right). It came in a nice package, hand drawn. The songs make me sad.

Here is one that reminds me of my friend that brought me Windex without speaking. Dear sir, thank you. Now, some song lyrics.


"MARCH: Australia, Olympia, Poughkeepsie"

My stomach becomes hollower the more I eat alone. I can hardly stomach getting you on the phone. I feel like an idiot everytime I see you, and I feel like you're an idiot too.

I say, "you look great"

"I've lost a lot of weight," you say, "my old clothes don't even fit. Remember my denim jacket?"

Of course I do. You wore it all three years, through camping trips and irrational fears. Australia, Olympia, Poughkeepsie.

Oh, Poughkeepsie.

I'm sick and I'm sad and I shouldn't be singing. I'm gonna lose my voice, but it doesn't really matter because I've got no one to talk to.

You're welcome. But like all good fairy tales, my favor comes with a catch.

In return for window cleaning products, I require a copy of that cd. Or else your first born. Or both. You decide. Bring one or both on Sunday.

Unless you can guess my name. Then you'll never have to see me again.

Do I see that you've been listening to Starflyer 59? Would you like to move to Australia and be in my band? It doesn't actually exist yet, but our combined coolness would make it unstoppable.
