Q: augh i cannot get OVER your playing on the scary pockets video. arrange+record in under an hour, perfect eye contact at the tops of the verses, wallowing in the groove but /delicately/. the way the lineup calls for. that 4-in-3 duple vs compound you just casually sprinkle onto the freakin shuffle like it's no big. such structural support. such humble showing off??? how did you fold the whole vibe into the every-beat kick of the prechorus with ricochet snare when the bass and keys were on an unpredictable  2-3, 1-2, 2-3, 1-2 rhythmic unison??? how does EVERYONE not hire you on drums for everything? i guess you don't have time, but do you /want/ to play with other people more? it just looks so satisfying, even for me, and i wasn't there. was it as good as it looks after the fact?
A: being a musician in a band is one of the great joys of life, and i would surely do only that for my entire life if it weren't for the fact that i have an insatiable desire to do almost everything else also
