we come from Burnt Oak Records, a collective and community resource based (physically, anyway) in Guelph (Squamp), Ontario. we talk and talk and talk and talk and make music together and make art with our hands. we "do it ourselves," and you should do it with us. you should look at our website. burntoak.ca.

we live in new york city, binghamton and toronto/guelph

i'm on it. and, after i go There, you will come Here and we will wander up the coast by day and you will sing in cities (various) by night. if some money drops into my pants i will be there by mid-june. and if not me, then a parcel that i've had for, oh, months. i miss you, which you should already know, because that feeling never ever goes away.
xo!

The song with the lyrics that go something like "I should stop talking to concret, it only looks like that because of broken glass" (I'm not sure if that's totally right.

But I was wondering if you had that song recorded. And, I still owe you a CD. I should be getting the recording this week.

Can't stop singing/listening to "Astronauts" today. there are certain people who I sometimes want to start singing it to when they do something "important" instead of being with me.
