list #1

as part of writing this book about frisbie, i'm also going to keep track of all the endless lists i took while seeing them at pops highwood (i will tell about pops highwood at some point....it's not that noteworthy, yet it tells a lot about the way things were all at the same time).

as i look back at some of these lists and the handwriting that accompanies them, i see several things....how my ocd was flourishing even then...the meticulous need to chronicle, take notes, document. every song, everything. it was just manifested in a flurry of frisbie. music has always been my saviour, and i was just pouring it out in a frantic scribbling of note taking.

sometimes, the handwriting is messed with the speed and need to get it all down on paper (i.e. mania). sometimes, it is slurred with drink. the lists reflect the new songs that frisbie were writing and into then (both of the classic rock variety, the obscurities, and the new indie stuff they were into). they shaped my listening habits and still influence the stuff i dig today.

i initially just started this post so that i could rip these pages out of my notebook and be rid of the scritches and scratches, but maybe i'll want to scan them and put them into my book, right? visual clues. (lol. the grandeur still persists, people...)

for now, these are just lists. maybe they'll have commentary. sometimes, they'll just be to rip them out of a notebook and to put them in a folder for compliation and safekeeping. here goes:
