i'm sure most of you have seen this video before, but this is incredible:
i love watching him play all those different instruments at once. it makes me remember why playing a musical instrument is fun. when i get back from germany, let's all get together and make stuff up like stephin merritt.
i also learned how to play this one. on my uke today. it's the first finger-picked song i've learned, and i think after a couple more hours i'll have it down. it's really incredibly easy.
when i get my camera cord from my parents, i'll post a picture of me with my bundestag representative here in pforzheim, katja mast. -- i visited her office today! there's also going to be an article about me in the pforzheim newspaper!

i want to hear you play that song! "everyone you despise will die, so smile!"
I absolutely love the NPR session with Stephin Merritt!
Reminds me of my favorite scene in the Gus Van Sant movie, Last Days, where Kurt Cobain spontaneously writes a four track song. Certainly not nearly as eloquent, but worth a watch none the less.

Count me in on playing music when you get back!
love,
Dad
