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.

Okay, cool.

I'm uh, gonna try.

[Voice]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Who else is in it?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

That's the part I'm still trying to figure out. [Basically he has no idea what he's doing or how to go about this.]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Well, Curt held auditions, that's how I got involved with Time Bomb.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Right, auditions. I dunno though, people probably showed up for him 'cause he's all... cool and stuff. I don't think I can get people to show up.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I guess. I didn't know him until I auditioned. He put posters up to talk about auditions. You could do that. And maybe just ask people you know that can play?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Posters, yeah. I could probably do that. [He taps a finger against his lip, pondering.] I think I know somebody who plays piano.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Who?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Her name's Jill. Friend of a friend.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh. I don't know her.

But bass and piano. That'll be a pretty cool sound, actually.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Y'think? Yeah, I think it could be.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Plus, there's a bunch of bands that have, what, keyboard in it, right?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Like New Order.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

New order of what?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

No, uh, they're a band. English band from the sorta 80s new wave scene. They use keyboards, 's what I meant. Synths and stuff.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've never heard of them, I don't think.

Well, maybe. I dunno. But yeah, probably something like that.
