Yesterday It Felt Like You Were Breaking Up With Me

art by Justin Degarmo. subjects are The Black Keys. they just released Magic Potion, their fourth album. it's not fun this time round, it's dark. or maybe i'm soundchecking the album while waiting for a downpour [it's going to rain, yay!]. i remember telling someone that it's best to hear the entire Thickfreakness album when it rains. puts the 'B' in blues, you might say. my friend, she suffers from the blues and when she doesn't know what's bringing the blues, she talks to her old friend. she doesn't tell her old friend what's bothering her. instead, in her head she compares herself to her old friend. and as her old friend smiles at her, my friend snaps, scoffing and scowling. it is so easy to depend on an old friend to be the bucket you need to shit in, isn't it? that old friend is about done being that bucket.
I TRIED GODDAMMIT!
