Mexican proverb saying "If you're not cheating, you're not really trying"

Dedicated to every BowTied account on Twitter/X trying to get people to wake up before shtf.  This one is for all of them as a unit.

I don't have the balls to do precisely what they're doing but at least I am doing music finally.

It's not really like a call to criminality just, don't be a frickin' pushover.  There's plenty of healthy room for that.

Put differently, if you aren't good enough at your job to take it -apart- in a way that you could seriously cheat even if you Are a straight arrow, then you fail to be good enough at it to go down in history using the same skills to fundamentally transform your work role in a way that you get mentioned in company correspondence that usually wouldn't mention -any- individual contributor.  That's the -constructive- wholesome meaning of the phrase.
IMHO.  Take that how you will.  Don't be -merely- medium and an asskisser and a rule follower.

Mel Gibson's line in Tequila Sunrise : "smart enough to be a cop but far too dumb to be a crook" so, to be a full useful human you should be able to 'tear it apart and put it back together' = implies you know enough to rob a system blind, yet ethically in practice are not-doing-so

Theory Versus Application IV

2024 needs some kind of answer to Sting's "Russians" from forty years earlier.  I gave it a decent try.
First thought is "why did you not put an instrumental intro"
But if you hear this thing about 3x then it grows on you

Lyrics:

Give me an abstraction
And I will show you that it's a mistake
A mirage in the desert, a trick of the mind that we make.
Possession being nine-tenths of the law
was bound to stick in someone's craw

The terms do well as a matter of course
Until they hit a counter-force
Legalisms tend to pall
When speciousness smacks into a wall

When the tables turn,
And the balance shifts,
The rules that once seemed solid,
Begin to drift.

The unruly state of nature
In which nations chart their course
Born of cold calculation
Without compassion or remorse

So we must be wary,
And we must be wise,
For what we think we safely hold,
Can quickly turn to lies.

This was written and finished on the same day, June 1st when Donald's felony counts were read-out in court.

Being clear here: this doesn't exactly take sides:

Except it's ridiculous that we're in the situation in the first place.

Just aghast that both candidates should be far better candidates, we're in some awful alternate timeline.

Lyrics:

so gather round you sigma males
i've got a rather interesting tale

the thing that confounds the ruling elite
is men needing to do a heckin' felony for a treat

something's rather less than sublime
when the charges are as sticky as the crime
if you face the prospect of doing time
don't be such a statist bro

when you know what it is to be
a justice impacted individual
it's tough to purge the stench that's residual
to overcome the knock-out blow

if they ban the box then i can shake it
there are times you know i just can't take it
as much as they say fake it till you make it
my upbeat manner might not save me
felony stigma grindset baby

if you seek to ostracize yet more
don't crime shame, man... it's twenty-twenty-four

積ん読 / Tsundoku

Bear in mind that this is fictional as well as firmly autobiographical all at the same time.  Because that's the way with human experience - we make up a story that we tell ourselves until we believe it.

There was some inadvertent manipulation by the educational system which was real, but I was also guilty as hell of being stubborn about individuality and also a pretty hardcore video game addict right back to the Atari 2600 and this extended into online addiction in the 90's before they had a name for it even.

So people that I may have felt were less than helpful, also rolled out the red carpet for me more than once -- just on terms I refused to swallow.

So mainly this is an anti-bureaucratic piece.  The footsoldiers in the faculties doing the teaching, and my fellow classmates both have my sincere sympathies.  A distinction has to be drawn between making music just to get the ick out of my system and what I truly think upon more sober reflection.

Also: well aware this kind of whines like "Allentown" re: 'vote with your feet dummy'

Lyrics:

When the H.R. folks say that i irrationally resent
But then the merit raise was two percent
Then let's review the course of the gradual descent
That got all of us where we are now

At the start they said well then, we'll skip you one grade
But hem you in by constraints that we already made
You'd be better adjusted if you only had stayed
Where conformity's all we allow


As I traversed past grade school to the stuff above
The real shock came when, push came to shove
There came things I didn't particularly love
Like rejection from the occasional cow

I escaped from that scene seeking resolution
But the worst place to do it was an institution 
Playing redistributive games
I pushed my way through it
Though my hope was diminished
If no other result, well I proved I could finish
But they were bitter returns all the same

Getting out in the world from the ivory tower
I found that things out there were not much less sour
The retail grind at five eighty five an hour
Doesn't cause you to climb to much fame

I needed the time, to heal, to mend
But the length that it took seemed to really depend
On chewing through this or that online crutch
And that seemed to drag on for far too much

Advancement comes slow when your job doesn't match
The inclinations which are your true path
When suppression has become the order of the day
A lot of time gets burned away

And then came a shift in the mood of the nation
Making it tougher to alter your station
Where even if striven with all your might
They'd just have said, can't promote the budget's too tight
If you were lucky they'd come at you with euphemisms
If not they'd tell you the stark reality 
That you just don't fit intersectionality

I only seemed lazy because in this domain
The only way to stay remotely sane
Was to ignore that they ignored me
While dreaming of where I really should be
Pointing out that my worth's in arrears
Perennially falls on deaf ears

If they get an abrupt shock one morning
Well, they've only had forty-five years of warning
Playing games with people's lives 
Is bound to end in a nasty surprise


I only seemed lazy because I missed the basic rule
Not to wait for someone else's say 
And so I no longer play the fool
As I breach the walls of the cage
And take control of my own way

And so folks then herein lies the rub
Just like don't wait for a corpo to cook your grub
Don't wait for prefab lesson plans
Take destiny back into your hands

An Unacceptable Degree Of Seriousness

Title from an odd Twitter conversation i happened to be drawn into.

The concept actually dates prior to 6/14/2024, you can find clusters of talk on X from October of 2023 and then supposedly its a 4chan greentext too from before that (like a lot of cool urban legend concepts)

In the continuing tradition of Contains: Squirrel and some other weirdness prior to that and since that, comes another let's-take-a-risk multi-layer electronica piece.

Haters gonna hate, loyalists gonna be loyal, here we go folks!

Toaster-Fucker Problem

This was after DanikaXIX's Twitch watchalong of Dreamgirls when I made two vocals really quickly inspired by that experience.  Of the two, Kick Rocks is where I consciously tried to do an Eddie Murphy impression as a laugh, and then She's Got A Great Face For Philosophy (CCCV) is more done in my own voice.  The latter got an Alpha Remaster a number of months later to get rid of the awkward 2 second gap after "modus vivendi"

The closest I've come to an R&B vocal.  I didn't expect that writing the lyrics it just started to make sense.

Lyrics:

Women love strategically

And men love romantically

If you expect to be both ignorant and free

You expect what never was and never will be


Any fool can make a rule And any fool will mind it.

Any tool can mask their cruelty forcing you to find it.

Circle jerks of any size

Tend to scotch the intended prize

Hence the warnings of the wise


Women think intuitively

And men think logically

I saw how the ringmasters tend to their flocks

And that's when I told them that they can kick rocks


If you expect to be both ignorant and free

You expect what never was and never will be

Shit rolls down hill but eventually

It ends up on my boots and then we shall see

Kick Rocks

You know this experience.
She's got a face that's a '4' and perfect athletic muscle tone that's a '10' everywhere else.
And unbidden you have a revolutionary uprising in your system.

Lyrics:

She's got a great face for philosophy
Though occasionally we disagree
About the nature of reality
That's well and good, but as far as I can see
Right now she's barking up the wrong tree


You can't make guacamole without an alligator pear
There was an offputting vibe in her blank stare
That would be sniffed out most anywhere
So it's a good thing we were still in her lair


I'd bet an eleven pound slab of deli ham
That before we started this conceptual jam
She'd engaged in a futile attempt to cram
For her turgid instructor's last exam


What's coalescing into certainty
Is that for a very, very modest fee
She'd hired an expert, and that was namely me
To solve her conundrum logically

Suddenly her speech took off like a rocket
As if fire had lit her nature's pocket
The time had come for me 
to ferret out 
what her idea was of modus vivendi

She thought she'd picked the ideal man
Without my stunning dungeon tan
But like Riker's leg, he'd jumped the couch
And anyway had proved an unworkable grouch
So she'd seen that it was high time for her to flee

The confidence of a yogurt male
Apparently had seriously begun to pale
In relation to my questionable rummage sale
Of attributes which in sordid detail
She then harshly listed out for me

I listened with almost perfect pretendance
In the center of her floordrobe's gritty resplendence
To her very clearly imperfect remembrance
Of my shining virtuosity

First came Parmenides with his hatred of beans
She explained while tugging manically on her tattered jeans
But when the ancients went to tell us what that really means
It fell to Zeno to breach the veil with paradoxical schemes

She said I had a knack for unlocking the past 
And proceeded to say a thing that left me aghast
My performance, she said, could consistently outclass
Yogurt guy's dismal grasp of themes

Reaching to the era of scholasticism
She said Albertus Magnus fueled her cynicism
And she'd ditched her robust specimen of hirsutism
When he'd proved to be not worthy of esteem

aliquod ex nihilo
inpensam quod punctilio
quamvus genus arietibus
da pauper puella, alea dis

(something out of nothing
I'm counting on that point
although she kind of rants
Give the poor girl a chance)

In a sudden gush of of words she turned hysterical
And with what seemed to me to be a miracle
Rattled on about how this led into empirical
Conclusions that David Hume had cast abeam

She's got a great face for philosophy
But the rest of her form, believe you me
Would grace the annals of human physiognomy
And that just might be enough, we'll just have to see

This covers the first phase of the battle in the west, when Gwindor charges down the hill forcing Fingon to follow, up until he's on the stairs of Angband and banging on Morgoth's door and the exits close behind him and he's trapped (and is the sole survivor of the vanguard).

Sharp observers will note that in my track lineup the predecessor to this track is Lining Up For The Nirnaeth (track XXI) created early in my SoundCloud existence in late spring of 2023.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad Part I : Gwindor's Charge

The four-part playlist link is this:
https://soundcloud.com/doug-stoothoff/sets/of-the-fifth-battle-nirnaeth

completely unmonetized track, no intent to infringe upon the owners of the I.P. of the Middle-Earth Franchise in any way

As suggested, this covers the second half of the battle from Turgon realizing he needs to come north from where he was stationed guarding the Pass of Sirion, to Fingon's death and the final retreat back to the Fens the other way.

The fourth and final piece is Aure Entuluva! (Day Shall Come Again) which was recorded in summer of 2023 last year.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad Part II : From Linking Up To The Final Retreat

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.
