PUSH IT REAL GOOD!!

So, I was cleaning out the jam space and I was looking at all the tablature I printed up a while back when I came across a couple of old emails from a couple of Grifterfriends, (Dan & Morten Swint), who had tried to write up tab for me.

I do not know how accurate the tab is, but the emails were cute:

From: Rosa Daniel Filipe <rosad at MAGELLANMontreal dot CA> Fri, 17 Dec 1999
Subject: Here's Rosad!

Hi there, Matt, how the hell are you?
First things first: my name is Dan Rosa (Rosad, get it...), and I'm 26. I'm finishing a Geology degree at the U. of Montreal (rock is my life... I know, lame joke), I'm a complete science geek, and my english is a little shaky sometimes. I'm not a french speaker either. I was born in Portugal and I came to Canada exactly 11 years ago today. I was 15, and I found it hard to adapt to this country. Oh, by the way, you don't wanna know my middle names. I was at least 10 years old before I could remember them all. I must warn you, I have 3 languages all mixed up in my mind, and sometimes I say very strange things. As I've already told you, I started playing guitar when I was 16. I started playing because I loved the Pixies, and Joey Santiago was one of my heroes. The Pixies and my guitar we're the only thing that keep me sane during my very lonely teenage years. I own a Gibson "The Paul" (looks like a bastard mix of scaled down Les Paul and a SG), and I...[unintelligible guitar geekery]...I'm just mentioning all of this because I thought you would be interested in what equipment I have. Sorry if I bored you...[more guitar geekery]...

As you know already, I love the Grifters,The Pixies, Man or Astroman? (saw them at their last show in Montreal, they were great!), a New Zealand band called Bailter Space, My Bloody Valentine, I'm a sucker for the shoegazer thing, The Kittens, The Velvet Underground, early Jesus and Mary Chain...

I used to like the Jesus Lizard and the Afghan Wigs, but they have disapointed me severely lately, so I don't know anymore ... I've always had a thing for Devo and Kraftwerk, and I listen to a lot of electronica (I prefer the the melodic stuff: Michael Paradinas, Solvent, Boards of Canada). Oh yeah, the Younggods (I prefer their french stuff), and a belgian band called deus. Early Stereolab...

Right now, I'm listening to a lot of Guitar Wolf: they're just so retarded, I can't help myself! I like anything Will Oldham (Palace, etc) ever did: good downer music, I think. I love picking up my guitar and singing the few songs that I know. Can't think of anything else. We very probably don't share the same tastes, but I want you to know what I like, so that you have an idea of what to expect. [...]

Anyway, better stop here. this message is already to long. Hope to see you soon. I will be calling in a few days: school's almost over.

Dan
