Nobody is an island // everyone has to go
Well it's day 2 in the "post miracle Red Sox over Yankees" planet Earth, and it is still just as remarkable. After leaving Isaacs' following game 7 it was surreal. I didn't know what to play in the car, so I stuck with Travis and blasted 'Driftwood' into the cold night. It's no 'Whoomp There it is' (It's Whoomp right? or woot ??) but I like it an awful lot. Travis is so wonderful. Do you ever, when a new season (weather) starts, get drawn into craving a band or singer right off out of nowhere? I swear it's like when people get bunyon swells on their feet when rain is coming or something, only emotionally and not much to do with your toes. I've done that with Joni Mitchell 'Blue' a lot at the start of each season out of nowhere it will cut right in and I'll have to listen to the corresponding section of it for whatever the corresponding weather (I have decided that that album goes Spring then Summer then Fall then Winter, call me crazy but that's how it feels for me). The same with Travis, it seems like save a few choice times they have been the band of fall/early winter since I've known them (+ now they remind me of someone). Wait till the first snowfall and just try to keep Frank Sinatra Greatest Hits out of my player. I got my 2nd copy of The Beatles 'White Album' on record recently, so I think before it does snow/the ground gets hard with coldness, I am going to bury my other copy time capsule/preservation style. Like do you talk to anybody about an album or a book and they love to tell you how the artist should've done it, left off these songs and gotten rid of that character (usually the best character and your "secret" song)? I don't think I hear that for anything more that I do 'The White Album'; "would've been so much better as one record", "X song is SO dated" and etc, and I'm now convinced in my slightly paranoid way that with this trend (thanks a lot George Lucas "Star Wars" you jerkoff) of musicians and the like going back later and making perfect pieces "more perfect" (loosely) that at some point it will get edited and strangled apart until the "real" White Album is sent out and they come by and collect the "outdated version" like they did with the original reels of the first 3 Star Wars films from theatres still showing them like at midnight movies and etc, specifically replaced with the terrible 'Special Edition' rubbish. Well nobody's snipping off my 'Honey Pie' that's for damn sure.

Yes I've been craving the first disc of the White Album. However it was stolen...and not being able to hear it is making me go mad.
