yeah well, I didn’t listen to you last night about going to bed.It is a strange clash of people though, migrant workers, hippy farmers, newly moneyed silicon valley workers who dream of making wine. I guess I was using some generalizations to create a mood, I keep getting asked to go to Napa and I keep saying I would rather be in northern Sonoma where is it still wild- of course I say all this while staring into a concrete alley with a view of a 7-11, phone wires, the back of unkempt yards and a rotting cherry blossom tree. I guess I am channeling an uninformed ideal of the lonely west.

haha, your description of Salinas still rings true, despite the influx of people and new wealth. Part of the appeal of Salinas is that it’s one of the few remaining areas around here where people can still afford to buy property. In fact, Victor used to live not far from Salinas as well (Rio Del Mar right VS?) And I agree, Sonoma over Napa anyday!

Well certainly the word has some serious etymology! I was fascinated by its biological implications, and how those implications could transcend into a metaphor for certain human paths, and pathologies. But really, these Neurowaxx samples are just so breathtaking, I feel a little selfish in changing them at all.

hey you thnaks, I know you can be particular so it means a lot. I did not upload the vocal harmonies— they had so much reverb on them, when I took off all the fx they sounded like a dog whistle. I am not there yet, technically and don’t have a team of engineers guiding me along, today it was just me, my son, and a hungry turtle sorting through her rocks making too much noise.
BTW if the grapes are that sour they are most likely vinifera- you can probably start making your own wine! Table grapes don’t have enough acidity to ferment into anything decent.

oh…I had to look up lignify in the dictionary. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word in my vocabulary! So have you ever tried the Chateau Chevalier Cab? I think it’s awesome!
