The other day I received an amazing piece of music. The piece was payment for Three Words: Scrabble, Mac-and-Cheese (Can That Count at One Word?), Burlesque. The stipulation of the barter was that I receive a percussion piece — for the client is a drummer — inspired by a front page New York Times story. The client chose Ruing Exile, Russian Says He’s No Spy, published August 12, 2010.

Dear Josh[ua],Thanks for creating smut with my 3 words. I think you found your calling. Enjoy burning this fresh desert sage in your house. It’s supposed to cleanse the air. I also put some cool rocks in here that I found on hikes.
Over+out,
