With Gusto

Japanese Coffee

My family, when they go places -- Beijing, Tokyo, etc. -- bring back beer and or coffee for me to experience. The Japanese coffee my brother brought back is quite tasty, and has the right what have yous regarding taste, etc.
The coffee comes in its own pouch, and the pouch is stitched into a disposable filter. The filter is placed over a cup and then it's all thrown away. Anyways, the best part of the whole ordeal is the Engrish on the package, which I've aligned into a found poem.

This is mild
type coffee, rich aroma and deep
flavours roasted
charcoal fire carefully

I have a show tomorrow at the SUB at the university.I also have a show on the 2nd at Logan's. Both are paying gigs!

Last night Joy and I chilled out at home, I got drunk off high percentage beer and champagne.

I'm thinking about the processes and end-sound of the recording that the country band will ideally do. I have this new guitar technique, where I strike the strings with the flat of my finger, sort of like how one strikes a drum, but I get a tone -- a chord -- out of it as well. It's not too loud, which means the process will have to be minimal for the song I want to use this technique on, which excites me. Thick in simple textures. Ben, if yer reading this, the idea is for Liquor Store.

In constant sorrow all through his days
