I find myself content in life but not the living of it
I find myself satisfied to be alive if thats putting
it a little strongly alive live lives live life its
difficult talking to a friend this evening I said that
it seems my goal in life is to reach a point where I
can stay in bed all the time he asked about
achievement I said I really believed that I used to
yearn for he said I can't have lost it already and I
said it definitely felt like I have I have it too easy
and that makes me want it even easier is the problem I
realise make it hard for me I cant seem to do it
myself shut up I feel like daniel quinn having trained
myself to sleep and wake for fifteen minutes intervals
except mine are fifteen hour intervals Ive forgotten
why or even if I actually thought it was the best way
to work Ive forgotten why or even if I actually came
here what I was supposed to be doing one day I'll
realise what it was and that it is no longer possible
and give up like beyond this given up or maybe I wont
maybe I havent actually given up maybe Ive just
stopped pushing ahead for this while I just need a new
start not a head start not a start somewhere else just
a start I need to create one I thought Id have a start
last week I had a surprise but no start I need a start
and no surprise every week I think that maybe I can
start next week and its just week week week week week
I am so weak and of course it is no ones fault but
mine for letting myself slip to begin with from making
the choices that led me to be able to let myself be
able to slip it has been a while which makes it more
difficult but that too is my fault I need to make a
decision a point and stick and begin begin again to
work

Any mix that includes the Contortions and Moondog is damn fine by me. Congratulations!

Stream-of-consciousness? I would assume it's song lyrics...

this is the most interesting motw i've seen in a while-liking the b &s v. the streets (what does that sound like?) and the mekons-where did you find the wacky duos?

Yeah, this looks very interesting and original. Sorry to be obvious, but I need to hear b&s vs streets- what the hell!

Great mix and all, but you'll never fit that title on your cassette tape, man. You know what woulda been a good title? "Seriously,dude...".

Nice mix. I've been digging McLusky lately.

I hate McLusky for only one reason... now every time I try to look up Lusk, one of my favorite obscure bands, on AOTM, it's ALL Mc"Lusk"y. It's twice asbad as getting Ed H"arco"urt when I look up Arco.

Dear Patrick "the 'c' is for 'Elliot Smith meets Coldplay'" Mclusky are really not all that obscure, thank you for pointing out that this band strays from the convention when writing their name but in future perhaps you could do so using a slightly less condescending, passive-agressive tone? This is hardly something that is going to worry most people now is it?
