Hey man. You said you'd help me out with songwriting sometime, right? I think I'm gonna take you up on that.

Is it cool if I stop by the store soon? Also, do you guys do layaway plans?

[Neil is tapping a pen against a leaf of stationery on which he has jotted a few messy lines of what might be poetry. He's wearing a pair of bulky black headphones, and he slides them to rest behind his ears, nudges a carton of cigarettes out of the way with his elbow, and clears his throat.]
So uh, I dunno if this is the right way to go about this, but if I sit around trying to figure out what the best way is, I'd probably just never do it. So I'm... just gonna go for it. I guess.

I'm starting a music project, basically. I don't... actually play any instruments. Yet. But I actually have it on pretty good authority that I can sing. And I... [He glances down at the paper.] ...might be able to write lyrics. I'll get back to you on that.

I'm pretty sure it'd be good if I could find someone who can play acoustic guitar. And maybe keyboard. But I'm not really picky.

Dunno if the City really needs a new band, but it probably won't hurt.

Let me know if you're interested, basically. [A pause.] That's it.

I'm pretty sure you can save your fire for a more worthy cause. It's not gonna suck.

We'll see about that. What will you call yourselves?

Haven't decided yet. I have a few different ideas.

Jeez, man. You couldn't have narrowed it down a little?

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
This is kind of early in the process. I'll get there.

Sort of leaning towards that last one myself. There's kind of a secret to it.

You know by telling me that you're now obligated to let me know what that little secret is.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sure thing, just don't spread it around until I'm famous and it seems like more of a big deal.

It's nothing all that special, basically it's just the letters of my name changed around. An anagram or whatever.

Holy shit. That is right.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
'S kinda something I do when I'm bored, changing around letters like that.

[audio.]

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Dude. You must have been real fuckin' bored, huh?

[audio.]

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
You know what I get up to when I'm bored? I go out and get a drink at the bar and then if I'm still bored, I burn things. Trash, usually. No one misses their garbage.

Okay, uh, yeah, that's a lot more epic.

You bein' sarcastic? [ :\ ]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? No, I'm serious. Or do you think word games are really exciting or something?

[audio.]

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck no. And you're right. Of course burning shit is epic.

You ever destroyed anything before?

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I put batteries in a microwave once, to see what would happen.

[identity profile] pyromatique.livejournal.com 2011-08-04 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You got into any trouble for your effort?

[audio.]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Completely destroyed the microwave and got an acid burn on my arm when I took 'em out. Plus it smelled pretty nasty for a while there.

It looked awesome, though.

It was pretty sweet.
