sounds like you're looking for customers, herbie.

I don't know whether they smoke, but the music sounds incredible when I do.

No, the boys don't smoke.  In fact, it's a rule.  It's also in their concert rider that nobody on tour with them can smoke, either.  And if a fan is caught smoking, before he or she is arrested, there is a special leaflet that security gives to him or her with the perils of smoking weed.  (I think that one was co-written by Jim and an anti-marijuana friend.)  I think it's called "Jim James speaks out: 'Please don't ruin your life with this evil substance.'"  I heard that somebody offered Patrick a joint once, and he punched them in the face, and called them a "god-damn bastard".

:)



(I am TOTALLY lying.  I have no idea if the boys smoke or not.  "Just Because I Do" might hint, but who am I to interpret?)  

on edit:  Hey!  When did I get that old time feeling?  Wow.  Tundra, weren't we neck and neck for a while?  I have got to get outside, more.  ;)

Wellllll, John's about to be a new Dad soon, so that should give you slackers time to catch up.  ;)

In fact, it's very soon.  Like, this week soon?

(If you're looking to increase your postage opportunities, I recommend getting a job where it's okay to be a couple of hours late if you got "caught up" in "business".)

Wait, she hasn't "arrived" yet, has she?  And what was the final verdict on her name?

It's SO exciting!!!  Maybe they should make a baby line in the t shirts.  Or else, you could always use the little pins for her diapers.   :D

man, I wish but alas no.  that is my lovely bride circa 1990 standing next to a fine Kentucky horse on one of our very first sojourns into the countryside here in this fine state...

and yes, she's "cooking" in there.  "bun in the oven", or whatever aphorsym one would choose to use... ;D  and yes, diapers do sound fun at this point, after waiting for so long to see her!

Heh.  A friend asked me to babysit for her for a couple of hours recently.  I haven't babysat in, ohhhhhhhh, 17 years?  So, the little guy needed a diaper change.  Could not remember how to do it.  First I put it on backwards, then I got all the sticky tabs stuck together.  I finally got it on, and it seemed too tight.  How could I have been so good at it when I was 13, and suck so bad, now?

But man.  It is fun to spend time with a baby.  They just look at you like you're the greatest and most interesting thing in the world.  

Unless they're screaming.  :)

There was a baby SCREEEEEAAAMMMING on the streetcar today.  Just fucking wailing and freaking out.  The poor Mom couldn't calm him down.

Just think of all of the wonderfulness you have to look forward to, John!

(Just kidding.  It's gonna be great.  My Grandma used to say that her babies NEVER cried, because when they did, she'd give them a thimbleful of whisky, and everything was better.  Ahhh, except, you know.  I don't think that's really a gooooood idea, per se...)

Fuckin' A.

John, there is a pic of Stephen Malkmus in the liner notes of his first solo album, and he is striking the same pose as your wife in that pic with the horse - I thought it was a tribute.

Are you dreaming of your son becoming the next Gene Autry?  Are you a yodelling fan?

My brother has been dying to get an all-yodelling album for years, and I have never been able to find one.  Do you know of any?

(I'm completely serious, by the way.  Props to yodellers, too.  Yodelling is HARD.  Especially for a girl.)

You and my Dad should meet.  He also loves to yodel, and does so unabashedly every time I visit and the pancakes are ready and I'm not up yet.

He also likes to scare wild animals.
