Once upon a time, Arlo worked at a bookstore. While Arlo wasn’t hard at work in the bookstore or hard at work going to USC, he was in a rehearsal space making up songs with his friends.
One day Arlo said to his friends, “There’s this writer, Jonathan Lethem, he has this really neat idea, and in the spirit of this idea he started a project.
And you know what else? He’s coming to the bookstore to read from his new book. Why don’t we actually write one of the songs from his book and play it at the reading?!”
Arlo made it happen. We wrote the song Monster Eyes from You Don’t Love Me Yet and played it at the reading.
