So this is a neat thing...

At work today, I was searching for some words. I needed some interesting weird words that haven't been used too much before. I knew the vibe I was going for but couldn't find the words to match so I turned to the internet for inspiration. I was reading through Shins lyrics to get the juices flowing and I found this interesting line from their song "Phantom Limb."

"And we're off to Nemarca's porch again,
Another afternoon of the goat head tunes,
And pilfered booze."

I don't know why, but I kind of figured there was some mythology in that name, Nemarca. I figured it was a reference to some dark figure in history but I did some sleuthing and guess what I found out? It's some little girl who walked up to James at an autograph signing and asked if he would put her name in a song!

Look! Here's the proof!

Nice move, James! You never cease to impress...

And just so there is an image attached to this post, here is the hilarious cover of The Willamette Week from several months ago that features some of my polaroids in the background. If you squint hard enough, you can see James cutting his hair in a bathroom mirror.
