Write Me Stories

April 15, 2008 11:39 AM

Paulo in London asks musicians to write him a story on an index card.

For example, the Polyphonic Spree's Michael Musick and Bryan Wakeland, Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry, Jens Lekman, Sufjan Stevens, and the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne.

This is awesome! But the best part is the comment on the entry with the Dresden Dolls cards...

Having seen these, whenever someone accuses my handwriting of being like the scrawlings of a nine-year-old (which happens about once a week), now I can say "No! I have the penmanship of an artist".

There are even more members in the Polyphonic Spree than I initially imagined. Did they charter their own 747 to bring them across the Atlantic?

I thought these were going to be brief, entertaining vignettes from the strange and twisted lives of musicians. They're not. They appear to be odd ramblings of little consequence.

I like them. If you take the time to look through them they are many brief entertaining vignettes
