Bring on the slide guitar...

Dear Steve,

Pimento, honey, pimento...

Yours, not obsessed with olives at all,

Sho xx



Dear Flist,

What the hell? It was the weekend, y'all went nuts and posted a million and one things! (I'm skip=100 already and it's still Sunday posts...) I'll try to get caught up, I really will, but it's a helluva daunting prospect right now!

Yours, slightly overwhelmed,

Sho xx



Dear Steve,

Your new album? Rocks. But dude, I'm thinking she broke your heart, whoever she was, do you need a hug?

Yours, reminding you again - pimento, dude.

Sho xx



Dear Jensen,

You like your country music dontcha?

Yours, appreciating the slide guitar,

Sho xx


Dear Wench,

Underground tickets. Knew there was a reason to get a zonecard...

Yours, nine pounds lighter,

Sho xx



Dear work people,

I'm not in the mood today, give me a break, 'kay?

Yours, PMSily,

Sho xx


Too late on that one, didn't even make it half an hour after posting. And no, I'm not sharing.




(Later edit:)

Dear [livejournal.com profile] bellatemple,

You're trying to kill me here aren't you? You should have mail now.

Yours, trying to get the hairs on the back of my neck to sit back down again,

Sho xx

oh gosh I really do think Steve needs a hug! I mean I love love the songs but so much heartbreak. poor boy *pets him*
sorry for the work people love!!

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
The songs are just beautiful aren't they? There's not one track on there that I do not love outright - and I get to hear them live on Friday! Yay!

He needs lots of hugs I think - and if that's his plan for writing such hartbreaking lyrics? then it's working!

[identity profile] bitterbird.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
they really are! Im curious, which one that is for you? and YAY!!

yeah it really is, my heart breaks for him, being that sad and broken ...

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
I have too many double negatives in there - what I should have said was I love all the songs on it without exception. They're all awesome!

(I was at Wench's listening to it, and she said just before the final track started "This is the other one he wrote with Jensen." I said "Bring on the slide guitars then!" ... just as the slide guitar started. I spent the whole song giggling away even though it's a heartbreaking one. On the second listen I fell in love with it, on the third listen I wanted more slide guitar!)

that they are! nice explanation!

lol its fab!

oh random question, my friend [livejournal.com profile] katysam was curious and thus made me curious. do you know why he likes to use add sons on cds e had realeased before? not that its an issue, its just interesting, you know?

hope the flist is going ok! I feel your pain! I was off on Firday and was like skip 5 trillion!

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you mean why does he rework the old songs? I'm not sure. I read on his MySpace a while back that he just enjoys revisiting them and that he would be doing it again for this album so...

I don't know, is the short answer! *g*

Yours, not obsessed with olives at all indeed. It's the wee red things in the middle of them you're obsessed with.

do you need a hug? I think he does. And I'm thinking he'd not refuse one with an important bra involved anyway...

- pimento, dude. see? the wee red things

Yours, appreciating the slide guitar, *snorts* mwhahahahaha.


Underground tickets. Knew there was a reason to get a zonecard... Arse.

Great minds think alike, clearly!

I'm half-tempted to find a jar of olives with pimento just to show him them on Friday. Problem is, I love olives so they wouldn't last long enough to show him...

Well, you know me, I'm weird.

When was the last time you tried olives? I know loads of people who tried them when they were young, hated them, and then got convinced to try them years later and are now hooked. (Including me actually!) They're definitely an acquired taste, but in my opinion they're definitely worth it!

fair enough. Give it about five years then try them again. *nods*

Dear bellatemple,

You're trying to kill me here aren't you?


Uh oh, you're on to my evil plan. . . .

You did volunteer to beta, darling. And I so very much appreciate it. And if it makes you feel better, the hair on my neck has been on end for months. . . .

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but you see my secret plan in betaing is that I get to read it first. Win!

It's awesome. In case I didn't say that enough times in the email? *g*

Well, [livejournal.com profile] maisfeeka actually read it shortly before you did. But yes, you are among the first to ever see it in its entirety.

And I'm pretty sure that "it's awesome" is something you can't say to an author too many times. . . . THANKS!

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well one of the first to read it then.

*g*

[personal profile] bellatemple 2008-04-28 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And I really can't say "thank you" for that enough.

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
My absolute pleasure!

(oh - all the Steve stuff in the rest of the post? Is the Steve from this icon, and he and Jensen have co-written a couple of songs on Steve's new album which is streaming on his site now (http://www.stevecarlson.com/) if you're interested! And it will make you say "Pimento, dude, it's called pimento..." as well, I can all but promise you!)

Ooooo. I shall definitely have to check that out. But, yes, I think I've finally figured out who this mysterious "Steve" you're always on about is. . . . ;D

[identity profile] angelnetgirl.livejournal.com 2008-04-28 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor poor Steve, at least there is a long line of people ready to offer hugs, OK I need to listen to the album now, at least for the slide guitar :)
