noise mom



1. music performance anxiety dream. performing at peabody in a string trio and for some reason i've got violin duty. the crowd is rowdy as fuck, like an old timey vaudeville audience or something, whistlin' and howlin'. i feel like i'm probably half-competent at the violin, even though i've never played it. somehow i come up with a genius sightreading method which involves inverting what i'm reading since violin strings are in the opposite order of bass strings. doesn't really make sense. i'm ready to just go for it, even though it'll probably suck, but the other members of the trio can't decide what to play. eventually we choose a piece called "bart and lisa."

2. whoopi goldberg on a grainy vhs saying, "i don't know why anyone would want to keep on living."

3. my mom's been collecting music for meditation for a few years. she's finally getting around to putting together a compilation. most of it is new age, but she pulls out a record that she got a while ago and hadn't revisited 'cause it was too noisy. turns out it was an early wet hair album. now she kind of likes it. i'm pumped. cool mom!
