Plastic bags by themselves are surprisingly luggable!

God, I'll bet you were a hateable child.

How do you build up the stamina to ride up and down hills?

How do you outfit yourself and your bike for maximum visibility?

I ask as I've been feeling guilty about using the car to pick up our FCF CSA box.

But please tell me you put those pants for the ride up the hill. Because going to a *professional event* wearing ripped jeans... Oh, honey. No.

What are you, like a 6/8? If so, I have a few pairs of pants that I could donate to the Erica cause. It would practically be recycling.

And I say this from a building where most people bike or bus to work. Or walk.

tell me Joni, am I the one
to see you through?
In this broken town can you still jack in
and know what to do?
I remember our youth, our high ideals
I remember you were so uptight
that time in the trees, we broke that vice
we took some steps and now
we can't think twice

tell me Joni, am I right by you?
Tell me how yr gonna lose this hard luck?
Hey Joni, when will all these dreams come true?
You'd better find a way
to climb down off that truck

shots ring out from the center of an empty field
Joni's in the tall grass
she's a beautiful mental jukebox
a sailboat explosion
a snap of electric whipcrack

she's not thinking about the future
She's not spinning her wheels
she doesn't think at all about the past
she thinking long and hard
about that high wild sound
and wondering will it last?

Kick it

Hey Joni, put it all behind you
There's something turning, Joni, turning right to you
my head burns, but I know you'll speak the truth, hey!
hey Joni, put it all behind you
hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
forget the future
these times are such a mess
tune out the past, and just say yes

it's 1963
it's 1964
it's 1957
it's 1962

put it all behind you
now it's all behind you

@14 That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title to this post.

FYI, it's official: we just signed to Matador records! Same label that originally put out Exile in Guyville! Sonic Youth are indy again! Fuck yeah!

pike market, on the other hand - it's not falling apart. they should hit up tourists for donations. renovating it will increase the number of fat tourists who stand around and won't get out of my way when i've got to buy fish & veggies.

Joni at least is a real journalist, who if sent to cover a debate, would write about the debate, instead of boring the readers with how fucking self-righteous she is for refusing to drive a car.

Besides, at the Times, insufferable self-righteousness is Nicole Brodeur's beat.
