now playing: Elliott Smith - From a Basement On the Hill unreleased, rough/alternate mixes - Stickman (backwards drum version, 'acoustic' mix) [320kbps|4:01]
ditched all friends, gave my tickets away, locked the doors, and said goodbye to the week.
recorded some music while i was crying today. they sound better with real emotion.
listen to enough live music, and you'll inevitably hear catcalls and screams during the first chords of each song, as audience members loudly proclaim that they recognize the song before everyone else. this got me wondering how many of those listeners are full of shit. i want to write a song about accepted yet ridiculous group social phenomenons like that. it sure as hell ruins a lot of live music.
