Devendra Banhart is guest blogging for JANE magazine right now, and he'll be doing it for the entire month of October, which is either a cruel trick or a delightfully stinky, hippie little treat, depending on your tolerance for "stream of consciousness" blather.

His first entry was yesterday, but we've printed it here in its unadulterated entirety.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by freak-folk:

"Here i am,
is it October ?

i Love this month,
it's very
round, it's round and fun to say in your mouth,
it rounds out your mouth in a nice round way.

i'm listening to Neil Young's Living With War,
it's like a letter,
adressed to the human family.

ain't we like a family?

i don't like that thought,
just right now,
because i'm thinking about the Traffic in LA.

rather think of us as all connected by something, by a thread we
can't see,
you know what i mean.

my Friend Awalt has just told me to invest in a pumpkin , he's gonna
win that carving contest and we are gonna start the month off right,

pppuuummmpppkkiiinnn,
it is a lovely word.

i'm headed to Big Sur right now to meet up with my buddy Anti,
to write, and wander,

that's all for this evening,

over and out,
Devendra."
