i think mer de noms[i/] is better, hands down. but hey, that`s just me.

okay, well, `thirteenth step` is also very yummy.. so hard to choose. NO ONE`S REPLYING. REPLY. REPLY. REPLY. (they`re albums from A Perfect Circle.. just incase some were confused.) anyway.. REPLY!

It`s so hard to say. Mer De noms is a classic. 13th step is just as original and you can tell paz is gone but the new guys fill in so well. Maynard is awesome either way. I just wish he didn`t push back the San Diego Concert coming up but hey I`ll find a way out of work, ....somehow. In the end, I`m not sure I could live without either album. I could go on indefintely ... which is why I wrote a song called "letters to Maynard".

i guess you`d have to get used to both of them to actually put them in competition. it`s so hard to choose now, sometimes there`s certain songs that shift with my mood.. not just albums. anyway, both are an incredible-amazing-stunning piece of art work.

oh, and what about that song you wrote? i bet it`s rad.

It`s pretty sweet, and after last nights concert it seems I`ll finish it. I was the last person there and Maynard snuck off in a black suv so there was no catching him at all. I got to talk to josh freeze a little bit but he was on crutches and an old neighbor of his got his attention before we could. I took notes the whole concert and got a set list. If you want me to list it I will. I saw Iha chillin on the bus as it left. When all the buses were gone I took one last picture to show I was "the last fan standing" which is another song I`m writing. www.mindrain.net is where I`ll eventually put the lyrics and then the music once I`m out of the Navy.

As far as the song I`m writing -The only way to get Maynards` attention will probably be through song. It makes sense the more you think about it. He believes in the art more than the fame so I`ll just work along those same lines, which sounds like the best route to take anyway. I also think that if I make it in the music industry I`ll do more for the fans, but thats just how I am.

Later all

rad. i`ll check out the website. i`m supposed to go to an a perfect circle concert may 15th, in atlanta. i doubt i`ll get to meet anyone in the band though. :[
but hey, i hope maynard hears your song.. and you do well on your other song.

Hey,
Atlanta is where I heard them my first time and it was great. They were with Nine Inch Nails on "the fragile" tour. Hopefully it`s at the same ampitheatre I loved that place.

Hey

I think Mer De Noms is better, its got Magdeline and Rose on it!! They are well written songs...
