(the goal in doing this is, hopefully, to come up with something original, innovative and personal instead of it just being an obvious distillation of your influences. work on developing a voice)

i think i'm a decent songwriter. the best advice i can come up with is to not try to consciously emulate a style or sound-- try some automatic writing, and get to the point where you can express your emotions in an unfiltered way on paper. be uncontrolled. it doesn't even matter if it doesn't make sense. just make it genuine and not contrived.

it seems hard to imagine it's not intentional. i eventually settled on it as sort of the book of revelations through the lens of southern california celebrity culture, sort of an impressionistic portrait of a particular time. but it keeps shifting. i keep thinking "or maybe it's just awful" and then "no, it's too perfect to be awful. perfectly awful?"

one things for sure, and that's that i'm a pimp. and pimps don't commit suicide.

i think the premise under discussion is the idea that the law might be changed, you densoid.
