I am now met with frustration over the twenty-something existential crisis of what to do with my life and how to do it. I am now looking for places to live in San Francisco, wondering if it's the best thing to do (I could always stay where I'm living now and protest and garden and bind books and learn on my own)... I just sat and listened to Bizet's opera, "Carmen"... I appreciate it much but sincerely wish that modern music possessed such intricacy. the opera and symphonic timbres (of the instruments and the voices) are now extraneous because of the digital age. As I listened to Weill's "Threepenny Opera" the other day I imagined Rachel's or Explosions in the Sky or Eyvind Kang exploding these scores within the modern musical tastes... I am beginning to enjoy classical music (who would have known opera too!) but ecstatic sprawls of noise still capture my emotions. I prefer to be experiencing my art in juncture with my age. that reminds me, i ought to buy all the other sunburned hand of the man cd's... great band, i love them.
