about

i went to edmonton to visit mark clintberg, and stopped by a music shop on whyte ave. minutes later, i walked out with a banjo (upon which stacey watson has since done a lovely drawing - a detail hand from her 'i know a dog named rope', a personal favourite piece of art on my wall, and some smiling dew drops). in spain i started writing a script entitled 'barry shallows' with ben soper. in it, a woman's husband is killed when a superhero makes the choice of saving his girlfriend over a busload of innocent civilians. their handicapped daughter is named gogol, and eats pages out of books, coughing up the most suitable pages at fitting intervals through the story. she's named after the author of 'dead souls', given that's the first book she ate. i suppose this song comes out of there somewhere, not to mention that occasionally awkward feeling of everyone wanting something out of you. and oh. it's still one of only two songs i've ever finished on the banjo, not to mention the only song i can think of that has a whistling choir solo in the middle.
