"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Here in Wildwood, NJ, you can do these monster truck rides right on the beach. If you pay extra, they let you choose the music that blasts out of the huge speaker arrays that hang off each side of the truck. Let’s just say there has “never been more jazz on the beach.” At least that’s the sentiment I read from the confused look on the faces of beachgoers near and far.

The celery sweats. The milk sweats. How can the parking lot be so warm? She wants to blame the trains from the city, but she can't make the connection make sense. It's hot, and she knows the number written on the paper is smearing in the sweat from the warming groceries. But she can't end the conversation. The themes repeat, build, the car still, then the mechanic, then the weather. She can't capture the variations. She knows the milk sweats, the celery. The ink runs. Nothing is legible here.
