A Thousand Plateaus

spent the week-end at my parents' because it's been my mother's birthday. somehow it was even more depressing than anticipated. for reasons too difficult to get into right here and now my parents asked me to look through a couple of boxes with old stuff that i stored in their cellar : mostly books and some obsolete media fossils (videos, broken md player, etc). but when i opened one box i found countless tapes, partly with stuff i did before the nerve bible was founded, partly with nerve bible four track and master tapes. plus some cassettes with entire rehearsal sessions and with radio-interviews we did.

i didn't really know what to do with them. i sat there in the cellar, looking at the labels and remembering the recording sessions and everything and then i threw them all away.

having returned tonight i allowed myself to work on "dialogues" for an hour - you know, usually arranging a song and adding instruments to the guitar-only version is what i enjoy most, but somehow i didn't get the drift and nothing special happened :-( i'm not amused.
