Sunday, September 09, 2007 hmm. perhaps..books? i could write about reading. since i'm trying to do more of it. and i stopped by empire books today to splurge a bit. or maybe i'm just really trying to give myself a reason to buy some more bookshelves. i finally bought a copy of michael crichton's eaters of the dead. it seemed appropriate given that it's that time that comes but twice a year: teaching beowulf. it's also one of the only 'early' crichton books (read: pre-airframe) that i hadn't read. of course the last time i read one of his books was early high school. but i'm looking forward to it none the less. i've chosen to take it on first, of the seven books i bought, so i'll report on it as i go. i bought a copy of peaches: the very best of the stranglers. the stranglers are a bizarre band, but they put together some pretty raucous material early on. "no more heroes" is a fantastic song. even their later work is smattered with good songs every so often. i am still a panthers fan. as such, i will be watching them play st. louis on the morrow. i'm very excited that it's football season again. ahhh. i went to tonight's concert for greensboro*fest 2007. it was at square one down on glenwood and featured the bronzed chorus, the tiny meteors and dawn chorus. all three were quite good - it was my first time seeing the first two. tiny meteors reminded me in turns of hot snakes and bits of guided by voices, the replacements..some other things i couldn't put my fingers on. i want to start a songwriters circle amongst some indie-minded people here in greensboro. mostly because i think it would give me a reason to start songwriting again, something i'd very much like to do. i still play a lot of my old stuff, but i haven't written a new song in..i don't know when. here's to hoping i'll keep up with this blog. my radio show blog is doing fantastic, but this blog seems to have lost its focus and purpose. i don't want to shut it down - it's my oldest and holds some dear memories. so, let's find a purpose. posted by J.

"Goodnight, Maria" was the last song I ever heard you write. There may have been others I never heard. But if that was the last one, it's been over a year.
When I sit and play my songs, I still like playing "Goodnight, Maria." I've written things since, I suppose, but nothing I can even recall really.
