A little something I made out of Twitter/X Conversations and a companion for Foul-Mouthed Parrot regarding the present situation in the UK.

Lyrics:

Not much could be any clearer
I'm surrounded by a bunch of retards
Because i'm in a house of mirrors

It's plain to anybody who reads
/bin/true is the Sun Tzu
Of POSIX commands
It does nothing and succeeds

Captain Kirk is suave and debonair
I was there the day he limped the curl in his hair
I'd follow him to hell and back
But i wish he'd just stop going there

Muad'Dib is a Fremen Reepicheep
A man once dug a legal hole too deep
By cloning a massive succulent sheep
He was unjustly levied massive fines
For transporting testicles across state lines

I applied to be the priestess's familiar
At the ketamine pentagram
Having been sumptuously prepared
I sallied forth and declared
I've gone for the gendarmerie madame

She invitingly said, come as you are
But be mindful that nobody likes reverse centaur

The hiring manager with necklace impearled 
Said lets get down to brass tacks
We need the kind of guy 
Who shows up uninvited to the underworld
And then complains to Hades about the lack of snacks

I told her that when I seriously reflect on
How irritating inconsistency can be
I measure out my net positive effect to 
About as useful as someone gold-plating a tree
She said you'll do fine, you'll soon-enough see

Assume spherical cows are rational actors
And a number of other simplifying factors

During these very odd days of potential strife 
I found myself questioning
Is a nut pick generally
A Southern grandma's swiss army knife
A Venn circle diagram of this phrase
Gets us into a weird area
As the coppers rode the tram to the site of the blaze
Perhaps it's all just a cultural hysteria

Middle-tier’s a mirage 
Luxury floats, the bottom scrapes, and the middle gets juiced
It does little good to ape Nigel Farage
More direct methods are needed when hell is loosed

The protesters' tract had on its cover
"Intellectual hipsterism for compulsive contrarians."
And our boys had begun to have read they discovered
Its contents were spastically argumentarian
And tended to passively malign
By preferring von Neumann to Einstein

A sign on the road said
This is the locus of paranoia
There's something uniquely evil about a gas pump that plays ads twenty-four-seven
The fellows who devised that aren't going to heaven
Their contraption felt about as cheerful as the Garroted Man by Goya

Every generation thinks they invented sex 
And utterly futile arbitrary political violence
A nasty looking crowd was rattling the fence
At the edge of the beastly infotainment complex

When all roads are crooked, none are
But these fellows in the middle of the street were taking it too far
Or as they say in England, Allahu Akbar
They were out this fine morning to protest
In support of the man who'd genetically engineered the best
Mutton from Brighton to Brest

I wanted to jump in and attack the throng
But being too early is the same as being wrong

By following the advice of my uniformed cute little bird
I directed to circle the wagons and shoot inward

She screechingly directed the troops 
But they fell short of breaching the barrier
Ask a woman their pronouns
If you don't like their fashion sense
They'll coldly try harder if not merrier

A struggling lunatic raved out clear
If you need some cringe shock therapy, I'm here for you bro
As the lieutenant drew herself up like a pro
Her assailant exclaimed
Where'd her tits go
She fired back Sir, you are in love with a brassiere.

We gradually defeated this truculent horde 
Only to subsequently find
Cassowaries on our left, kangaroos on our right
And the Angel of Death behind

Captain Planet he's our hero
Gonna take the TFR to zero
And after the few have undertaken to bury our bones
They'll finally speak truth about the Georgia Guidestones

My sense of humor, bleak though it be
Saw me through the stress of that misery
Comes meus fuit in illo miserrimo tempore

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.

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!

Kooks Dan’o is the stage name of American singer‑songwriter Daniel S. Passarini.  Based in Johnstown, Colorado, he describes himself as “just a guy, writing & recording music in his home studio.” Since 2021 he’s self‑released a prolific catalog of albums and singles, including Landings (2021), Elements of Past Static Debris (2022), Songs for Lulu, Terra Firma, Single Track Mind, and Islands of Ataraxia (all 2023). His sound blends rock, country, indie and folk‑singer‑songwriter styles, with introspective lyrics and intimate home‑studio production.

Kooks Dan’o’s catalog is built around intimate, guitar‑centered songs that pull from a mix of folk, country, indie and rock, often with a lo‑fi, “bedroom” production aesthetic and deeply introspective lyrics. Across all of these genres, the throughline is Dan’o’s personal, reflective lyrics—meditations on love, loss and longing—wrapped in warm, guitar‑first productions that feel both honest and home‑made. 

Dan’o’s lyrical voice is defined by: natural imagery (storms, oceans, seasons, dust, echoes), melancholic honesty about love, self-doubt, and loss, and a minimalist, poetic style with lines that feel like secrets whispered into tape.

By all accounts, Kooks Dan’o isn’t flaunting flashy shred—he’s a songwriter first, and his guitar work is solid, tasteful and service‑oriented. Kooks Dan’o’s guitar playing — particularly in the context of home‑studio, singer‑songwriter production — is confident and versatile—never ostentatious, but always perfectly pitched to serve the song. 

 Fans have highlighted Dan’o’s intimate, laid‑back performance, strong melodic sense and polished yet personal production, likening his work to cherished folk‑rock and indie‑country touchstones.

After a nearly two-year break, Kooks Dan’o has three projects currently lined up and in the works: two unique concept albums, as well as a “Live at Home” acoustic performance album with accompanying video series. Look for these projects to be available sometime in 2026 and/or 2027.
