"you know, American Jean Le Carre shit.  Steely Dan, but counter-intel."
Vaguely about a guy bouncing around with unique skills for weird niche gov't stuff getting interviewed by a fairly high up yet also obscure administrative-state lady he's decided is a creeper who just let some people go but is embroiled somewhere in the fight between Elon and Trump and the Epstein List not being released yet.

And in that way it's like another chapter after As The Say In England, Allahu Akbahr "it's nice to be in demand but the people i meet are wacko" kind of stuff.  Interesting grist for movie plots i suppose
And perhaps with Jump-Ball For Sodom And Gomorrah it's a loose trilogy? :)
N.B.: "misericord" here is in the archaic sense of a dagger like in dungeons & dragons

Lyrics: 

I heard there was a secret cord
You plug it in and you meet the Lord

From the black art of electricians
We turned to the follies of politicians
And we set our selves to seek within
But ended up scratching our gourds

She explained she was in a mire
Of having to replace a couple of DUI hires
I declined to inquire as to the reason to fire
Her previously shining direct reports

She queried my views on corporate vision
And my leadership style position
Was that my internal stance was rather patrician
I interjected after being asked my favorite vice
That the gap in my resume was 
When i was stepping in the same river twice


I'd won my rather politic argument
But she was butthurt that her rhetoric was outclassed
And then she came back and sassed
People are really pissed
That we don't have the list
It's all the evidence the government amassed
On the guy who was amassing evidence
On people in the government

It seemed these deficient people 
Couldn't afford
To survive this lady's misericord
For being insufficiently on board
So that was how it went

though my answer had to be no
and the interview was a miss
as i got up to go
it was plain as far as i could see
that they should tokenize her demonic energy
and distribute her on the chain as a service
and that conclusion was time well spent

Hi - I write songs - here is a selection from over the years - thank you for taking the time to listen. More info on the links below. Thanks.

A self-taught composer, who has found his voice in older and traditional forms and styles of music.
Currently mostly composing for piano, but I have grand ambitions for writing chamber music and symphonies.
My music has a lot of variety in a way that expresses all kinds of sentiments, both intrapersonal and extrapersonal, kept in a cohesion by an underlying narrative; every composition is its own journey or a adventure, and I invite any guests who stumble upon my page to take part in it. 
All my music so far is written in Sibelius 7 (recordings of live performace coming down the line)
My music is available for purchase on Bandcamp: https://dinoljubi.bandcamp.com/music
Sometimes I might write an essay or two:

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

Blane Bent is a visionary hip-hop artist and storyteller from Ithaca, New York, whose music blends Caribbean soundscapes, NY and Atlanta energy, anime, gaming, and raw autobiography into something entirely new. With a melodic flow and a sharp narrative voice, Blane turns his life experience—including time spent in foster care—into powerful stories of resilience, ambition, and transformation.

Previously known as “Bravo Blane” and later evolved through self mastery into “Bravo Bicasso” at the suggestion of his art director “Get Designs Here”, Blane recently returned to his roots, reclaiming his original name and sharpening his focus on his singular vision. Blane has also worked side by side for over a decade developing his soundscape with his personal engineer/good friend “DBrown Sounds”. Together they’ve created a blueprint for many artists in the upstate scene with a wide range of music to help diversify his audience. 

An innovator, trailblazer, and trendsetter, he uses his platform to be a beacon of light for young people growing up in the system, showing that creativity, courage, and vision can carve a path forward. His albums “Final Form”, and “Captain Black Jack Sparrow” chronicle his artistic evolution, while his latest work “Digital Butterfly”, pushes even further into uncharted sound and storytelling.
Blane Bent isn’t just part of the future of hip hop—he’s building a new legacy for those who come next.

Steve Cohen’s first album was released back in 1997 to critical acclaim from Billboard Magazine, Philadelphia City Paper & The American Society of Musician’s Composer’s & Publishers. The Philadelphia native has since released 10 albums and multiple singles featuring his original songs recorded under his birth name and his alter ego Elton Costello. The music embraces various genres including Singer/Songwriter on “Silent Too Long”: & Rock on “Crazy” where you’ll find a full band with a horn section mastered by Grammy Award winner Glenn Barratt.

A simple Americana influenced Piano/Voice demo written around the time of the 911 attacks named “American Troubadour” found itself embraced by Pandora Radio and played 1,000’s of times (a respectable feat for an album recorded with one mic on a piano).

Steven Sean Cohen released “Summer Jams” in 2013 with a music video by Victor Mignatti for the song “Thinkin’ Bout Leavin’. The album was followed up in 2014 with 4 singles including “Springsteen” a tribute to the artist, “Bradford Country” focusing on the environmental hazards of fracking and “Colorado” in memory of those who continue die to to the mass shooting epidemic.
