Joel: hard to say
  
could go either way

me: right, always like that.

Joel: i feel like i may not get that, but they might give me something else

me: but you didn't shit your pants and stare at at the interviewees boobs the whole zone.

Joel: depends on what the other candidate (who has previously worked there) wants to do i think
11:41 PM 
no, i wasn't nervous until after. I made a few jokes, did my best. they're relaxed.
  
if anything i think i was too pro-seming
  
seeming

me: right
  
well. time will tell
  
like your uvula

Joel: exacte
11:42 PM 
me: ahhh time.
  
it is a dimension

Joel: number 5
  
or tied for 4 w space

me: tied with space for something is a weird zone to be in.

Joel: yeah. check Kant

me: ahah
11:43 PM 
Joel: were you able to get in?

me: no
  
didn't try, all good.

Joel: oh, sorry, i thought ihad responded

me: no. but really its ok.

Joel: all the more county for the future i guess

me: might have been a netler concern
11:44 PM 
I guess i might be tied with space for "things presently occupying my apartment."

Joel: right

me: but tied with a long list of things.

Joel: yup.but it's one

me: ITs not just me and space.

Joel: but not for Kant
  
right
11:45 PM 
me: its one
  
No time. Is in a more significant tie
  
I would say.
  
I should read Kant agian. I loved it.
  
Only once in 1999

Joel: Farbus gave the Prolegomena a big thumbs up this weekend
11:46 PM 
me: really.

Joel: Unless it's time for the full CPR again
  
Yah, you know, Kant comes up, gs approve, like now

11:47 PM 
You and JOrdo, talking about Kant. My god. Rare hangs! Raaare hangs.

11:48 PM 
"just pop in there"

Joel: what's that from?

"It just popped in there"
  
THought about a staypuff

11:49 PM 
Joel: I quoted Gb this weekend too

me: Always time.

Joel: tryin to think of the line
11:50 PM 
Oh yeah: Don't look directly into the trap.
  
"I looked at the trap, Ray"

me: hahah
  
In what context.

Joel: as you say, always time

me: ?

Joel: I think "Random Teeber Nonsequitur"

me: hahah
  
nice
  
always time

Joel: Would be good if that had been the "phrase juste"
11:51 PM 
me: hahahaha

Joel: like, what are the circumstances where it's: I looked at the trap Ray

me: And somebody had called it...."Ahhh le phrase juste"

Joel: I'd have given that call an air oscillator
11:52 PM 
me: When is time for air oscillator and when is time for air skronk.
  
both are for different occasions.

Joel: I guess, yeah
  
I definitely did some air drums to Zep this weekend

me: word
  
sounds like a good weekend.

Joel: so the music's a factor
11:53 PM 
Moebius: air oscillator
  
Ayler: air skronk

me: but I mean. no music situation. Someone calls your phrase juste (after a GB quote, no less) air oscillator.
11:54 PM 
Joel: yeah, I feel like that's the one

me: Hobo saying "change pour manger" probably a skronk

any thoughts.

so not a rush.

Joel: they'll come

me: what needs titles so far track wise
11:58 PM 
Joel: we have puh and don't hate for sure

me: right.

Joel: Vocoder Problem may be a w/t

me: w/t?

Joel: working title only
11:59 PM

Joel: new era may stick, but i think we should try to get those self-references in

me: yeah

ALTERITY PROBLEM - DONT HATE TO INVESTIGATE CD NOW AVAILABLE


The person who lives ethically knows that what counts is what one sees in each situation, and the energy with which he considers it, and that the one who thus disciplines himself in the most insignificant life situations can experience more than the one who has been a witness to – indeed, been a participant in – the most noteworthy events. He knows that there is a dancing place everywhere, that even the lowliest of men has his, and that if he himself so wills his dancing can be just as beautiful, just as gracious, just as mimetic, just as dramatic as the dancing as those to whom a place has been assigned to history.
            -Søren Kierkegaard

We don’t make this music because we have to or because we want it on your blog or in your tape player, or whatever. We make it because its how we communicate with each other. And we’ve made it during incredible sickness, in sadness, in ecstasy and in joy. Through the fields of millions upon billions of points of shining light, in our apartments, in our beds, on tv or on stage, we make this music. But whatever, we’ll keep making it when we’re dead. We don’t make it to get recognized. Recognition comes easy for us. When Jones left the block the proprietor of Depanneur St Henri (Cazelais and Desnoyers) gave him a pack of smokes on the house. Recognized! When Jones rolled on the new block they were asking for him at the padaria within a week. When we order our Zataars in Arabic they speak back in Arabic. Jones once thwarted an armed robbery in downtown Ottawa and was recognized as a hero in grand ceremony.  We’re recognized. Paid? We’ve never been paid. We don’t care. Jones got a job dialling. Weren’t paid to sing at St. James United Church ever. We don’t do it to meet girls. Have you met Ivy? If you had, you wouldn’t even ask. Besides we’ve necked while listening to Physical Graffiti, the best Zep record, so really would we even need ‘em?  We just make the music because that’s how we communicate with each other and solve the alterity problem. Feel me?  - Jones

Available on cd only. 6$ + shipping and handling, Canada Post prices, sorry.
