Yuk Bon

i had the worst day at work today

i seriously haven’t felt like this since my boss at fiu spent 45 minutes detailing how he wanted to kill me and the various ways he would do it if he could.

and then i get home and i realize:

oh shit

they hired me because of my political suaveness
i’m fucked

aside: i found a transcription for martin simpson’s “betsy the serving maid”. it’s not bad. (power tab format on ultimate-guitar if you’re interested) and no fucking wonder i coudln’t figure the goddamn thing out, i was trying dropped-D and DADGAD and it’s in some weirdass G tuning (DGDGCF# — seriously, what the fuck). also capo on V. aside to the aside: no actual clips of martin simpson on youtube, but here’s some dude who learned some of his stuff. aside to the aside to the aside: martin simpson is one of my mixtape secret ingredients. no one expects it. my top four songs that you should download (but i will unhelpfully not provide for you, because the man earns his money,) are: “the company you keep”, “betsy the serving maid”, “lord gregory” and “dreamtime”. I actually learned ‘the company you keep’ and ‘dreamtime’ but still kinda suck at them (actually dreamtime I got not too bad at…). if you buy an album (and you should, he’s seriously omfg great), i highly recommend his 1996 LIVE AT OXFORD album above all others (although “when i was on horseback” is a good 2nd).
