Oh! New Keyboard
I might not get used to the fact that the B key is on the other side, but we’ll do our best.
Four days in Japan to goo and we’re a bit tired. I took a shower this morning in the best shower we’ve ever been in.
By the way the reason I don’t know if I’lll ever get used to the B key being on the left side is because we’re very used to it being on the right side and pressing it with our index finger. Typing this makes us aware of how much we usually use the B key.
Also guess what. We knew this already but this keyboard (that B thing again happened just now) has Japanese built in! Why don’t we just add an asterisk every time the B thing happens from now on. Vonnegut style. I think what’s gonna end up happening is we get used to pressing it with our left hand. Let’s see if that’s true (isn’t that a Japanese song? I’ll listen to it right now. )
Speaking of right now, what do we miss?
By the way, that song is by The Pillows. Did we burn a CD? Did Delmy burn a CD for us? Until I was out of high school, my taste in music was dictated by* the girls we liked. We listened to The Pillows a whole bunch back in high school. Although I guess we didn’t get L’arc En Ciel from a girl. That was just from watching Full Metal Alchemist. I wonder what it felt like to listen to that opening for the first time.
Fear rules my life lately. Or maybe I’m just rationalizing everything as fear. Would there be* a difference? I’ve thought of writing some stories down, but I’m afraid of it! Is it that I don’t know whether they’ll be good or not? Is it that I fear them getting old?
I wonder how The Pillows were discovered to write the music for FLCL? Is it just that the creator really liked their music? Makes me want to make more music.
There’s the fear again. What is that song? There goes the fear again? Who is it by?
Right now, we are on a Shinkansen to Nagano, to take a Shinkansen to Matsumoto. We’re about* week and a half into this trip and it’s the point in which we’re finding out which things are annoying to people that live here. Case in point, fucking Shinkansen lines are split by approximate location based on nothing in specific (as far as I can tell) other than they’re owned by different companies that are all called JR something.
We’ve decided to write this listening to the pillows since it seems that it doesn’t distract us as other music does. It’s also very good. Enough time has passed since we listened to it 24/7 so it’s nice and welcome now.
iPad, stop connecting to my stupid AirPods every time I take them off. That’s an order.
That’s an order from your commander jajajaja.
We want to write a story about* a guy whose breath smells so bad that he’s shunned by everyone in his life and ultimately either killed or exiled. Whatever makes sense haha.
We haven’t, though.
We also haven’t found the proper distorsion guitar sound to make that sort of songs with. I guess because it means that we’ll have to struggle for a little while and we don’t want to struggle. Our new psychologist said that we need to stop asking “why” we do things and instead focus on “for what” like what are we trying to get out of doing the thing. Sometimes the answer to that question is going to be “because I enjoy being surrrounded by sound waves” and sometimes it’s gonna be “because we want people to want to work with us.”
Either way, we hope this is the beginning* of us having more clarity or at least more conviction. We do like resting, though. And we don’t know why it is that we’ve come to prefer rest so much lately. Is it age? Other, older people seem to have good relationships with art and we seem so unsure about everything. I don’t want to release my next album when I’m 40 but I will if that’s what takes but I want to release it soon etc. We wonder if everyone has the same loop going around in their heads and then we realize that we ourselves didn’t have that for a while.
Oh shit oh fuck oh yeah I think I Can! (The Pillows song) I had totally forgotten about that song.
Let me tell you something, me, uhhhh.
Uhhhhhh…
Nothing I guess.
