It Took a Lot of Work to be the Ass I am


Sorry I've been away for a while. But much to explain this busyness. I started a band with my friends Leo, Andy, and Caitlin called Blazing Cranes. I was also oyster sick all last week from my own hand. I've gotten food poisoning 3 times in my life, and all from food Ive cooked myself. I was really angry that I got sick on one of my days off, especially as I had been planning to go to the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi, about an hour a way, to see a retrospective of the Turner Prize. So even though my throat still burned raw from stomach acid, I could barely saunter, and my belly was ready to toss anything coming its way, I was soon staring my bloodshot eyes at the inside of one of Damien Hirst's cows. And I've gotten addicted to the Wire.Anyway, on account of not having given you much in some time, here are the melodies that play when a train arrives or departs on the chuo line. I recommend the ones at Shinjuku station, especially number 8, one of the only tunes with a beat, and a progression that's hard to beat. Also the one at Toyoda is hard to beat.
