"There were times when I had great times with my brothers, pillow fights and things, but I was, used to always cry from loneliness."
- Michael Jackson

¡Que en paz descanse, Eduardo!

Yo sería el rey
Y tú serías la reina
Y nada los alejará
podemos vencerlos
Un día nada mas
Podemos ser héroes
Un dia nada mas

Y tú podrías ser mala
Y yo me quedaré borracho
Porque nos amamos
Es la verdad
Sí, nos amamos
Y nada mas
Mientras nada
Nos mantendrá juntos
Robaríamos el tiempo
Un día nada mas
Podemos ser héroes
Por siempre y siempre
¿Qué te parece?

Yo quisiera nadar
Como nadan
Los delfines del mar
Mientras nada
Nos mantendrá juntos
podemos vencerlos
por siempre y siempre
Podemos ser héroes
Un día nada mas

Yo, yo me acuerdo
Estuvimos allí en Berlín
Y la pared cayó por las manos
De la gente de paz y unidad
Y los guardias
Ya no disparaban
Y nos besamos
Bajo cielos quemados
Los vencimos
Un día nada mas
Estábamos héroes
por siempre y siempre
Nada mas!

I would be king
And you would be queen
And nothing will keep them away
We can defeat them
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day

And you could be mean
And I'll stay drunk
Because we love each other
It's the truth
Yes, we love each other
And nothing more
While  nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be heroes
forever and ever
What do you think?

I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins of the sea swim
While nothing
Will keep us together
We can defeat them
forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day

I, I remember
We were there in Berlin
And the wall fell by the hands
Of the people of peace and unity
And the guards
Were no longer shooting
And we kissed
Under scorched skies
We defeated them
Just for one day
We were heroes
forever and ever
Nothing more!

Héroes (D. Bowie/Parálisis Permanente)

All sounds are samples of Humpback whales, dolphins, beluga whales, gulls, and waves.  Humpback whale samples from "Songs of the Humpback Whale" Produced by Dr. Roger Payne, 1970.  All other samples from random internet sources.  Sounds are not modified in any way from the original recordings, and no additional instrumentation is used.

Whaleophony

Is this really a cover of Cris Isaak's "Wicked Game?"  Only if he can legally copyright the chord progression v-IV-I, so no.  I translated Izaak's chorus lyrics roughly into French, but a midge darker.  The verses are a patchwork of lines from Charles Buaudelaire (Harmonie du Soir) and Paul Verlaine (Chanson d'Automne).   All guitars, vocals, production, drum machine programming:  Dane

Pas Tomber

Which came first, Pink Floyd or Dr. Who?  Or do both share an ancestor with the Mars theme of Holst's The Planets, and a descendent in the theme for Mars Attacks?  Either way, the Red Planet figures heavily into this hyperpsychedelicon of sound!   Guitars, loops, drum machine, synthesizers, production:  Dane.  NOTE:  Some of the tracks feature temporal distortion, so PLAY THIS SONG LOUD!

Dr. Floyd

Each chime was sampled individually, then loaded into five temporally incomensurate loops.  With loops of 300 sec., 277 sec., 257 sec., 217 sec., and 197 sec., the loops only align to repeat a pattern once every 30,000 years!!  But you only get 4 minutes here.

Long Bells

Just a nice synth pad, with some guitar loops and a solo.

August 24

The jubilee is the biblical precept that no person shall hold power over another person or claim another person's possessions.    The law of jubilee is that all such powers or claims be totally relinquished every seven years.
