1) I too am a musician-- well, a lapsed musician. I realized recently that playing music interferes with my writing poems, which is much more important to me, so the music has sort of had to go. But even though the answer to the question "What kind of musician are you?" is "A crap one" I still consider myself one. I play guitar, and sort of sing if I need to. With my acoustic guitar, my songs tend to sound like Palace or Smog or maybe Woody Guthrie (if I'm very lucky); with my electric they tend to sound like Ida, sonic youth, the cure, X, and jawbreaker. Band experiences very bad. 2) A few digests back someone referred to bands like the Sea and Cake, Low, Rex, Idaho, and Tortoise as mathrock. And I hate to split hairs and bicker about genres, but they're not, really. They're way too mellow for math. 3) Any Candians out there aware of the bands Jughead and Spirit of the West? aaron === atieger@rocketmail.com I tossed in my quilt Angry at my own helplessness.
