amplitude modulation palpitation conundrum

SO
I got to meet BEN KWELLER! (and photograph his armpits)
and I got to GIVE MY CD to the lead singer of Deer Tick!

if you haven't heard of either of those people i don't care.
i am somehow filling up the emptiness in my heart by schmoozing with indie celebrities because i'm a dirty hipster.
they're not going to remember me/listen to my music anyway.
but isn't that just the holy grail of my ambitions, huh?
to get SOMEONE to actually listen to and/or appreciate my music.
i don't know WHY i have these motivations.
but all i know is that doing this is somehow connected to my larger dreams and slightly controlled by my subconscious.

in other news i finished my first calculus essay and it was about the inner workings of AM, or, amplitude modulation radios. last night, as i was writing, all the sudden my heart started beating really fast and i got all of these crazy ideas to create my own electrical circuits, i.e. loop pedals or modified electrical accordions or amplified saws or photocell shadow-sensitive instruments and whatnot. calculus, i know, is helping me to understand these things, though it is a long, slow, torturous process. at least, i mean, today as the deadline drew nearer and my understanding of electrical circuits grew not at all, my heart started beating really fast so i went for a walk and then got really depressed and then recorded a song about me v. the system, about how i hate technology but how i am at the same time giving in to it. i wonder if calculus will ever release me from its cold clutches, or if it will suck me in to the system forever? i guess we'll see. but regardless at least now i've ordered a loop pedal off of ebay, and i have some new crazy ideas to mess around with once i get back to oakland.

I am in Providence, RI right now, visiting my mom and taking pictures while she interviews Deer Tick & etc. Maybe I can strategically place a copy of my CD in someone's hands.......

Things in the music world are looking up.
In the math world, however...
