I identify with Steve Miller whom wiki describes thus:

“In 1965, when Miller returned from New York, he was disappointed by the state of the Chicago blues scene, so he moved to Texas in hopes of finishing his education at the University of Texas at Austin.

“He was disenchanted with academic politics at the University, so he took a Volkswagen Bus his father had given him and headed to San Francisco. Upon arrival, he used his last $5 to see the Butterfield Blues Band and Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore Auditorium

“Miller fell in love with the vibrant San Francisco music scene and decided to stay.”

Jesse Strickman, of the band Dear Indugu, on guitar/lead vocal giving us a smileworthy eve at the ice cream shoppe (harmony, Leiya Mahoney).

oh and the DI website has downloadable music, a presskit and more.These lyrics to this sweet little tune are by no means authoritative, but …

“Let’s sleep together every night
any bed, any floor, any where’s all right
let’s let our bodies reunite
stay up on pills
just talking til daylight

“let’s whisper on train rides
and metal birds in the sky
let’s be madly honest
yeah, let’s keep every promise

“Let’s go out and see the world
and just try to understand
how this mess unfurled

“let’s make reality swirl
eating plants
drinking wine
laugh until we hurl

“You can teach me your languages
I can teach you chord changes

“We can just do whatever forever and ever
and never get tired whatsoever

“Don’t wanna have a brilliant ballad
’bout a girl who got away
I’d rather write a simple song
about a girl who came to stay.”

[is what I heard. and my favorite harmony is “ality swirl”]

Ting! an audio magazine, Vol.1-1, 1998

!ting was the name of the first audio magazine I ever conceived of and produced. It was made with Brent Kirkpatrick, Gordon Borsa and several other volunteers – an edition of 5,000 half-hour ( fifteen-minutes a side), cassette tapes to be placed on subways, park benches and buses all over New York that looked like this:

The concept was to collect sounds from the five boroughs in, under and around NYC in Spring of 1998 and eventually in each season to see if there were distinct seasonal changes in the soundscape.

Produced by new friends, meeting in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, for the first time, we created a voicemail for people to call and leave feedback which connected to a onebox e-mail account.

Here is a ten-minute excerpt of the audio with text describing and captioning content :
