Nope - usually instead you get to be in a dark club all night and a smelly, man-infested van all day. Out the window you see pristine coastlines, majestic cathedrals, bustling cities, exciting roadside destinations like "Little America" (which boasts a 6ft stuffed penguin!) but you can't be a part of it. It's like your some sort of vampiric invalid, riding the short bus all day only to arrive in the dark, don your leathers, rock, and then quickly disappear.<br /><br />Anyways, this song is about trying to catch those moments that passed by the windows of a tour van in 2006. It has been resurfacing in different shapes and colors. The newest being this and a similar version yet to be recorded by Wild Dogs, a new project. We debut next week, June 17th at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/unionpool">Union Pool</a>. </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5219486241992929436-8109365266663724700?l=saunztomakeloveto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saunder Jurriaanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01938277668088391153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219486241992929436.post-27251923928341063662009-06-03T07:38:00.000-07:002009-06-03T08:06:20.372-07:00<embed src="http://www.priestbird.com/loveto/gaston_il_comandante.mp3" autoplay="false" height="10"></embed><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">gaston, il comandante - by Saunder Jurriaans and Daniel Bensi.

I recorded it in 2000(?) or something when I first moved to new york, in a dingy basement in East Williamsburg. I was running around with a minidisc recorder and with a stereo microphone and recording all those wonderful noises you find when you first move to New York.. I lost this recording for years and then re-discovered it, and then I keep re-discovering it and losing it again and again.<br /><br /><br />Everything about this piece of music embodies what I lack recently. Patience, serenity, and fascination with my surroundings. argh New York!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5219486241992929436-5998114080633920231?l=saunztomakeloveto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saunder Jurriaanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01938277668088391153noreply@blogger.com0
