I miss Nice Nice. I miss my friends in this FUCKING AWESOME BAND. I haven’t seen them in forever, and contact has been somewhat strained (I just mis-typed “stained,” and I’m pondering the signifigance, if any). I was to move out there and continue musical endeavors we’ve shared and gone through in the past (many of which have been “interrupted” or just plain ruined by various drug habits of mine), and after spending a good amount of time in Czech, I returned to the States confused and somewhat wary of cross-country travel (it was just post 9/11). Conversations got sparse, surely with tremendous influence by my reluctance to have them think I was letting them down. (Shit, I’m listening to their recent 7″ “There Will Be Slogans”, a particular song entitled “Call Reluctance” … is it a coincidence? Is it about our reluctance to break said ice?) Now it’s become plain embarrassing. I have dreams of my conversations with Jason (Buehler, guitarist…my first great Jason…my second and current is Cooley).
Anyway, this isn’t what I started this entry for. Well, in a way it was. Having just finished the new CD, it feels empty without having some people you really love listen to it, share it with .…
Go now immediately and seek them out, buy their shit! For their latest 7″ and an MP3 you can check out, go to http://www.whitedenim.com.

And whatever you do, don’t stain or strain your ties with those who you love.
