fabulous and funky and dark....testament to the range exhibited in your work. Well done.

I've cancelled pro because all these FAKE listens that come with the package only serve to make my music look unlistenable; listens and no feedback suggests the music must be shit!

Rescued from poor quality cassette tape; tape of a tape of a tape, which, in turn, has deteriorated over the years.

“The Drifting Rose”  by Luke

Phat Landing

A short(ish) instrumental sound-doodle inspired by a dream I had...

Dreaming of Storms

Incessant Needs.

My coffee doesn't
do it anymore,
Liquid Demerol's great
but it requires having surgery
as a side effect.

Liquor is quicker but
vodka gives me headaches,
after four hours
of a spirited mental void.

Water has to be bottled
to be any good
and green tea is just
a watered down version
of what you wish it could be.

Coke is a temporal fix
but things seldom go better,
whether up your nose or
right out of a bottle.

and Qualudes are.....................????
Damn, I can't remember,
but my grass was always greener
then the other guy's bag,
back when it was offensive
on a federal level.

All my beer's been canned
cause with its larger chug hole
it still gives lousy head.

Sex is out there but
you need affidavits
to score a healthy fix,
plus you have to be committed
or the world disdains you.

and Heroin never was heroic.
It steals all you have and then
leaves you with a Jones
you can never keep up with.

Nitrous oxide is a gas,
but laughing till it hurts
defeats the purpose.

and Speed kills, but
at least it's quick.

and my Hash was always better
with corned beef added.

and Love is my biggest high
but it seldom comes in
the same strength,
it can't be bought
and its gift can often
cause you to take
up all the things
that I've listed above.

and Cigarettes are
breathtaking..... literally....

Because Happiness can't be injected
ingested or inhaled for any longer
than a brief oasis, in your day.

and Ladies are nice
but I'm having trouble
getting into them lately.
Lately??

But Children still
brighten my world
especially my son

and poetry is my refuge
from the sober world in
which I now exist.

Creative juices are my
drink of choice now,
yet I'm still haunted by
my old, incessant needs.

Roadway Stains - The Tower

While we wait for BARDS: Of The Shimmering Seraphs to finish physical production, in the meantime we are forging ahead with a new crop of songs for the next album. The next album will serve as a continuation of the oracle deck concept, featuring songs about "objects" - the first of which be this little song about the magical horn of the elusive and beautiful Aardvark Girl. It is also about a recently discovered strange dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of our solar system.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà  was discovered on 19 Oct 2007 at the Palomar observatory in California, at 9:09 UT. Gkunhomdima is a member of the extended scattered disc and is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). Its orbit is inclined 23° off the ecliptic and is quite elliptical. It was knocked out of a normal orbit early in the history of the solar system, probably as Neptune migrated outward to its current position, which gives the high  inclination of Gkunhomdima’s orbit. However, there is no known orbital resonance with any other planetary body, except for its binary companion. Its ‘moon’, or secondary is called G!o’e !Hu (pronounced GOH ay KOO). Goeku means ‘horn’, or Oryx horn. And that takes us to a bit of mythology.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is also the Beautiful Aardvark Girl of Juǀʼhoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python girl or elephant girl; she defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gǁámígǁàmì spines [devil’s thorn plant], a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.

LYRICS:
-------------------------------
Aardvark girl, come trumpet your horn
Bellow your clarion call
Summon your dark and impenetrable cloud
And let your hailstones fall

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound

Scatter the poisoned thorns in their lane
May they tread upon those in their path
The stinging in their feet shall remind them
They’ll be dead before their next bath

Aardvark girl burrow down in your den
The night will be ending soon
The Oryx are gathered at the watering hole
And your face is in the moon

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound
We are just ants crawling around on the ground
We are just termites in a crumbling mound

The Oryx of the Aardvark Girl

electric guitars...hot bass...swing rock drums...warm and slightly lost voice...blues solos...thrilling riffs...I really don't know how he managed to do it...and yet it's my new job... it's called sparkle... inspiration... divine breath...

OLD PATTERN

I CAN NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE...BABY
I CAN NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO...BABY
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO
I AIN’T NO MUNTER, MORON, HUH
I AIN’T NOTHIN’ LIKE YOU

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK, THE WAY I TALK,
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH
THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW

DON’T TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES
DON’T COME IT WITH THOSE LIES
YOU ALWAYS WERE ABUSIVE
BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHY

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY CONFINED TO MY BED
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY, AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

MY MEMORY IS HAZY
MY THOUGHTS A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNOSIS, CRAZY,
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

THOSE MANIC MOMENTS PHASED ME
THE AIR WAS TURNING BLUE
ATTEMPTING TO ERASE ME
WITH THE CHINA THAT YOU THREW

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY, CONFINED TO MY BED,
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY,
AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

NOW I SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW


MY MEMORY IS HAZY
MY THOUGHTS A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNOSIS, CRAZY,
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

THOSE MANIC MOMENTS PHASED ME
THE AIR WAS TURNING BLUE
ATTEMPTING TO ERASE ME
WITH THE CHINA THAT YOU THREW

I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
FOR ALL ETERNITY, CONFINED TO MY BED,
I’LL KILL YOUR MEMORY,
AND SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CAN’T DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO

I WOULDN’T IF YOU PAID ME
YOU’RE NOT THE CHOSEN FEW
REMIND ME OF A BABY
ONE WEEK BEFORE IT’S DUE
LIKE MISSES NOSFERATU
BEFORE THE INTERVIEW
YOU PROVE THAT EVERY NIGHTMARE
EVENTUALLY COMES TRUE

I CANNOT BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CANNOT DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

THOUGH YOU ARE HAVING FUN NOW
I WILL ESCAPE YOU SOMEHOW

MY MEMORY, HAZY
MY THOUGHTS, A DEEPER BLUE
MY DIAGNISIS, CRAZY
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

I CAN’T BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
I CAN’T DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO
I COULD NEVER WALK THROUGH FIRE FOR YOU
I COULD NEVER DO THE THINGS YOU ASK ME TO
I AIN’T NO MUNTER
I AIN’T NO MORON
I AIN’T NOTHING, NOTHING LIKE YOU

DON’T TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES
DON’T COME IT WITH THOSE LIES
YOU ONLY WERE ABUSIVE
BUT NEVER EXPLAINED WHY

YOU DID NOT CREATE ME
BUT LATELY
YOU HATE THE WAY I WALK
THE WAY I TALK
THE WAY I PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH

SLEEP WITH THE DEAD

I say it the way I see it, not the way THEY want me to see it!

Influenced by Gothic Music, lots of Funk, lots of Fusion, Post Industrial, Psychedelia, a smidgen of Post Punk, elements of Death and Dark Disco, traces o Trip Hop, Trap, EDM, Trance, Techno, House, Glam Rock, Nu Disco; Dub; I think you get the picture!
