I AM IN THE WEST OF THE EAST
I AM IN THE WEST OF THE EAST, largely hiding from the Internet in the Mountains of Internetless Hills, MA.
FROM TIME TO TIME, however, I will descend to buy copy and steal bandwidth from the Progressive Valley coffee shop.
IT IS A WONDEFUL COFFEE SHOP. They are very nice here, the coffee is great, and the vegetarian sausage is SURPRISINGLY GOOD.
BUT THEY VERY BOLDLY WALK THE CLICHE-LINE when it comes to progressive coffee shop stereotypes.
FOR EXAMPLE: this morning they are playing Nina Simone. Specifically: SUGAR IN MY BOWL. I love this song. It reminds me of when Bridget Fonda was a movie star. But if the Gypsy Kings comes on, I don’t know what I’ll do.
I JUST DON’T KNOW.
That is all.
UPDATE!: The owner of the cafe just came over to say hello. He was very nice. I felt very ashamed for writing this post. I really do enjoy this cafe a lot. MARK, IF YOU READ THIS: I AM SORRY.
I thought you must be at Elmer’s in Ashfield….until you said they were playing Nina Simone. Nan (the owner, my boss) would never play anything so hipster-friendly. She has the most recent Harry Connick, Jr. album on the store ipod. It makes me want to stick forks in my eyes. But the veggie sausage is quite good.

Ah, Internetless Hills. I know them well. They are also the hills of Zero Cell Phone Reception, Lots of Dirt Roads, and More Hippies Than You Can Shake All Their Homegrown Weed At.

When Nina Simone is playing I always take my shirt off, you should too

Don’t dis the Gypsy Kings! They are without a doubt the best Gipsy Kings tribute band currently touring this great land of ours. Now, if the coffee shop starts playing the Gipsy Kyngs, run! Their version of “Volaré” is pure crap.

“When Bridget Fonda WAS a movie star?” What the solid criteria here? Though no recent films does that a movie star unmake?
