And then, as if it were all planned, you see her walking through town. She gives you the face-smile, but here in the sunlight it seems embarrassing to move right up to her with all these bags in your hand and a 5 gallon water jug over your shoulder. You’re not sure if you’re supposed to kiss again, so you just set everything down and stand nearby, studying her face, checking – nervously now – for signs that she really doesn’t want to talk to you, that she’d really rather just continue on doing whatever else she was doing.

“Hola,” you say.

“Hola.”

el bolson video return chords

Bolson video return chords-03 by dahveed

recorded some bossa nova chords a few days ago on my iPod.

on the way home from returning some videos last night i started remixing them, adding some 808 kicks.

i think i could spend all day adding different 808 kicks to whatever i’m experiencing.

the only thing is that the kicks here don’t sound like they did when i was making them. they’re more like blips now.

i can never get the bass to come out deep enough in the mixdown.

like garlic, red wine, and waves, you can never have enough bass.

i used to make fun of those low rider dudes in high school that sat out in the parking lot showing off the subwoofers in their mustangs or IROC cameros or whatever.

whatever you make fun of ends up being your master.

walking into a place in latin america

September 18th, 2011 by David Miller - writing

You can’t walk through a door in Latin America without greeting the place itself. You’ve decoded this the same way you’ve decoded the language. It’s a process that feels subtractive, as if removing certain parts of your consciousness, so that as you step into the internet cafe in Todos Santos, it’s only your 29 year-old body saying (to nobody in particular)  “buenas”  - and what feels like a much younger, almost toddler-age version of yourself listening for cues, some kind of validation that you’ve said it right.
