Now I need to find the subway station lost in-between the keys of my piano

For many years now the Savage Young Taterbug has wandered America’s hinterlands, bewitching drugstore clerks and gas station attendants with his balladry. “Ragman Transmissions” cobbles together songs he raw-dogged on the road, left in the tape decks of friends and fellow freaks, and abandoned or simply forgot about. A few songs carry on his signature swirl of transistor static and scarecrow spirituals. Others catch him in private, tinkling on the piano and crooning deliciously. Still others are bona fide studio slammers buoyed by thick licks and harmonies. Who knows how many Taterbug tracks still lurk out there, like old jellybeans wedged between cushions. Volume one is our humble effort to round some up and savor their strange flavors.

I walk into the bedroom
And I see his goofy fucking hair cut
Waving back and forth

The band in the other room
Is the Saint Mary’s Jazz Club

And in the room downstairs
All I can think of
Is the lacrosse team playing Settlers of Catan

The jazz band is inaudible
From the room in which I stand in front of
And I’m looking at you under him
And brought to one question

Do you like it?
Do you like it?
Do you like it?
Do you like this?

Original text:

Movement I - The apparition of these faces in the crowd...

worn-down, faded bench 
companion to weary travelers 
catching their breath between stations
we sat together
laughing into each other’s shoulders
as we ducked beneath neon-singed clouds 
of rush hour smoke
rolling, tumbling down
old-town alleys turned glass walkways 
noodle bars turned Apple Stores

Taoist temples turned shopping malls 
teeming 
thrumming
into the night
our hands nearly touched 
amidst the rhythms of the crowd 
as indefinite and fleeting
as the skyline around us 
my train arrives
I rise to leave
looking back through tinted plastic, I wonder 
in this city of forgetting
will you remember me?

Movement II - ...petals on a wet, black bough.

when I returned
the bench was no longer there 
they turned it into 
a Starbucks
the largest in the world 
I went in
a ghost among the rows of emptied Gravitas blends 
silhouetted against the Roastery Bar’s harshly gilded tones 
floating up the escalator past smoky mocha updrafts 
and glimmering Tom Dixon fixtures
when through a tinted mezzanine glass panel -

I see us
          past coffee-stained mugs and soft curls of wispy steam 
     together, sitting
undisturbed by the surrounding rush 
of raindrops and unfilled orders
the moment suspended
     a gentle warmth about us
unconcerned, content
as we laugh, sip, and remember -
hazily I saw their outlines rise
the pair evaporating with the last of the moisture 
into the crowd, out the doors
as a gust of smog blew in 
and filled their void

they built a bigger Starbucks in Chicago.

The weather was beautiful and I wanted to try out my new Aquarian H2d hydrophones. I upgraded from the H2a's in the spring, but haven't had a chance to try out the new ones...
I went to Helsminde Harbor, not far from where I live in Southern Denmark, as I've been lucky catching a lot of cool sounds there in the past. I have found that the most (and best) sounds is right where a body of brackish water connects to the ocean through a small canal. It didn't disappoint this time either ... enjoy

This minimal music is a loop cut from a guitar performance, stretched out with "Paul's Strech," and gradually changed with filters and time stretching.
