Jeremy's journal

Even now, I persist in believing that these black marks on white paper bear the greatest significance, that if I keep writing I might be able to catch the rainbow of consciousness in a jar.

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Perspex Island song by song: Ultra Unbelievable Love

This song starts out with a hard down beat and a rocking groove -- it pulls you out of the reverie of "Birds in Perspex" and gets you dancing fast. This is the third song in a row about love, here love is a form of prayer. This and "So You Think You're in Love" are probably the danciest and shortest tracks on the record -- they set the stage for some heavy contemplative music in "Birds in Perspex" and "Vegetation and Dimes". Again, tension between movement and stasis.

(Robyn says the song is "about ultra unbelievable love. And the quest for it. That's all.")
