Waiting for the train
I am sitting in Amer’s, which is a Mediterranean deli/ coffee shop in Ann Arbor, waiting for my train. It leaves at 7. I took the bus from Ypsilanti to Ann Arbor at 1:30 to hang out with Andrea when she got off of work at the Library but plans changed.

When I got off the bus, the first thing I did was head to the train station to get my ticket. It ended up being 45 clams. That’s $15 more than the ticket price last night. When I got to Amer’s, I went online to check if I read the correct price. Since I left the train station the ticket had gone up to $75. Damn!

While I was waiting, I read an interesting article that David Byrne wrote for Wire. I would like to share it. It’s about the current evolutionary state of music and the business of music. It’s mirrors things I heard Calvin Johnston and Ian MacKaye touch on, on Soft Focus.

I should be heading out.

Later amigos.

That's one long ass quote! Wasn't she on Barsuk and Saddle Creek? I hear some indy labels can be just as bad.

Another interesting fact I read was that Dischord, and Touch and Go don't sign contracts. All their contracts are verbal.
