What’s weird about it? What’s weird about it.
Not odd like a Zappa completist’s enthusiasm. You could pick them out of a lineup with a hand over your good eye.
Not intentionally strange as the neon camouflage of “prog rock”. The plumage of exotic time signatures is just a slow sheet of rain from this distance and we had the roof fixed.
Perhaps weird isn’t the right word. It lacks a bit of weight in this present tense as just getting your mail this evening can beat the strangest thing you did two years ago.
It’s just, something, y’know?
What I mean to say if music was a room with no windows and the lamps turned off, you couldn’t get from one side of it to the other without banging yr shin on an ottoman that just shouldn’t be there. I ‘d rather not get to the door un-jostled.
Dedicated to the stubbed toe. You are always welcome here for a little while. Think about how good it will feel when it stops hurting.
Love,
TA
