the fox and the hound.

it never ceases to fascinate me how often some people associate music with the purpose of expressing exclusively positive emotions. fascinate isn't the appropriate word, but I have not slept and my vocabulary is failing me. after my set last night, i was approached by a man who went on for some time about how my music was too upsetting. he felt as though it was more important I force myself to write "happy" songs rather than let it all happen naturally. he went as far to suggest I have someone dance on stage with me. a dancer might be a brilliant suggestion. i'm not a particularly negative person. i have always felt that music, regardless of the emotion conveyed, is an uplifting experience. that's the whole fucking point. it's not a product. it shouldn't be treated as such, and it's probably a bad idea for me to get into a situation with people who feel otherwise. end.

i could go on more, but that first paragraph is obnoxious and pretentious enough for one entry.

i might just delete this later. it's not very well thought out.

i'm recording an album about fairy tales and rabbits. it's still not finished. most of the lyrics explore the ten thousand reasons why disney movies would make me cry if i were to watch them. it's color is orange, and it's number is two.

maybe it will be online someday soon.

over and out.
