the journal starts late six weeks into the making of grief point first off is may day a song in honor of may 1st and the workers can you still be against the strike that only strikes for more pay by you in this instance i mean me there is a certain kind of person to whom things come with great facility they say this is the noise that gets made as my life is lived so be it but don t feel the need to record it for a second i thought that this meant that they were not interested in history but that s wrong wrong wrong a bad reading of the situation the right reading is that i just don t understand it at all grief point and may day by extension suffers from the same old shit a potential complete ignorance of ambience real ambience in that can you really construct it every last bit of it and just let the listener feel its effects and is this the right treatment always the same question in this case i would maybe say yes just because it forces form onto the thing thing as a bunch of words two melodies and the words sung in a handful of ways between j and d of course the same old war rages one into a tight and perfect digital palace but super true to the genre the other wanting to draw on actual sounds mix it up humanize it s cool how for my part this sleight of hand the trick of making something confounding and great and potentially horrible drawn up from air all this is no longer of any interest in fact even seeing things in this light depresses me and so i often come home at night depressed by what we have done what we are doing it s good it means i ve changed i have lost interest in music it is horrible i should only make things i understand i should only make things i know how to construct however imperfect it s not even like dictating to someone it s less than that may day itself is pretty cool i have to admit it condemns the world at such an easy pace i intend to tell t it is like a happy shooting rockets a disgusting description of anything to be sure i think the world does not like me grim it likes me melancholic but not miserable english on the mediterranean which is oddly enough some of the worst people there is at some point when it is made i will explain this record word for word swear to god an ape with angel glands when i know if it is good or bad i ll know what is good and what is bad the answer to the making of grief point is picnic baskets filled with blood too rich nothing at stake if had to write for his songs they would be cumbersome pale blocks like his riffs but pale so instead he went out and found a wailer too stupid to commit to a single thing i assume not lighting up at the sight of your mother is a sign of madness in an infant patina no name for a baby your firstborn before they threw you from the bridge bagna wrestles his dogs to the floor such a beautiful scene for some they write plays don t perform them the message from the critical reception of dreams was quite clear we will not be listening to you any further of course some tension is created cosmonaut in a bread line et cetera i watched a pig devour the classics just to get to you the barge endlessly circling your mind finds out it is done2
