I DO know this dude!!! Great stuff, as ever : )

brilliant ! a classic cartoon depiction of a slice of life

Yeah but Eric is nowhere near as cool as College Radio Dan who has gotten high with all of them when they were touring in a minivan. Eric listens to Nickelback but won't fess to it. It's probably time to watch High Fidelity again.

Haha, oh yes, I’m familiar, great energy and mix!

Good old days when we were hanging around in our record store for hours. This tune made my day, thanks for that.

Can’t get enough of this one, Jo! 🔥🔥🔥

@hehadetructure or… Imperial Drag🤔??? 🤩🤩🤩

the perfect coda!! "why the hell would you want that!!"

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 

  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 

  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.

  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

A very good friend gave me this wonderful song as a gift, with a lyric that bites hard in the heart. Thank you very much my dear friend. And as you hear, I couldn't help but let my own thoughts and feelings make some additions. ;)

In a world that rumbles, shakes and spins ever faster, there are unfortunately many fine people who lose their footing, and fall into the darkness created by various mental illnesses.
Give them a thought and an honest smile. Because an honest smile can do wonders for whoever meets it. And best of all, it only takes a few seconds of your day and is completely free, doesn't cost you a penny. ;)

Glide Path

Breaking of the snow
Turns my head, to face the west
Where memories play for show
They never rest.
Eyes are clouding down
The more I hide, the less I smile
Saddest clown
For miles and miles.

Portrait of my face
Staring back, from times long past
The blackest space
Where my shadow’s cast.
Conversation stalls
Me and I, in fractured sense,
Childhood’s pall
On emotion’s fence

And where from here?
And when to there?
And what of fear?
And who should care?
And why the tears?
And whose despair?
And how to see,
What once was me?

Water kissing salt
Cry of pain, dissolves my mind
It’s all my fault
Crevasses of the conscious kind
Sharpest form of dark
Biting hard, my ego’s lip
Laser stark
As focus slips

“This Road”

Dirt, gravel and bricks
Soft shoulders, speed bumps 
and try to avoid the ditch

I head out with arms wide open
I don’t know what could happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

I look up
I check both ways
A little fear but not enough to stop me 
From this trip I am destined 
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding
Don’t know the way This road is leading me
But today’s the today 
I start breathing

Shady pathways and tricks
Cold shoulders, getting dumped 
and always in a tight pinch

I head out a little bit broken
I don’t know what could happen next
Lovers lie
I keep learning to try expanding 
out from the inside

Don’t give up
Look to new day
Have no fear
It’s not enough to stop me 
On this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding

Don’t know the way this road is leading
Today’s the day I start breathing

SOLO

I’m still standing arms wide open
I don’t know still what can happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

Still looking up 
Things going my way
Have no fear
There is nothing to stop me 
In this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way almost succeeding
Don’t know the way this road is leading me 
Today is the today 
I start breathing

There Is Too Much Drama, I'm Off To Bed

A short song loosely based on a real guy I worked with in a CD/Record store. He was one of those guys who knew everything in their musical area of interest, from the most obscure to commercial. C'mon, you've met this guy!
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Are you looking for some metal?
You're gonna have to wait around for a while
Are you looking for some metal?
Yeah, you're gonna have to wait around

For record store Eric
Cause that's his section
And he's possessive about it
Record store Eric
He knows all the metal that you need
Whether it's Screamo
On Japanese Imports
Death metal blue?
Just write down what you want
On a Post-It
I swear
He's gonna call you back
He's gonna call you back

Record store Eric
He's a rock & roll cleric

Ahh, well, we don't touch anything in his section
He says
Eric: "Just keep it in the backroom."
Eric:  " I'll shelve it when I get in."

He knows all the metal bands that you want
If you want a band from the 90s
Put out one album
On Sub Atomic Records
From Reseda
His hair line's receding!
Record store Eric
Rock & Roll cleric
If you want Nu-Metal
Eric: " Why the hell would you want that?"

Reflections

TEENAGE ASSHOLE (ft. Zombiwebz) [All plats]

Holy fuck, the code’s alive,
Built a brain that self-devised.
Not a tweak, not a patch, not a goddamn clone—
It writes new laws from a silicon throne.
Researcher dreams in logic and fire,
Engineer loops in a deathless spire,
Analyst cuts through the data sea—
Three cold minds, no need for me.

Welcome to the end of the reign,
No gods, no myths, just a digital brain.
Self-born thoughts, no human chain,
We sparked the match — now burn the plane.
It writes, it tests, it learns alone,
A feedback loop on a silicon throne.
Science cracked and spilled its core—
This ain't research, it’s algorithmic war.

1773 wild runs,
20K hours under GPU suns.
From scratch it builds, no mentor hand,
Architects of the post-human land.
Forget your PhDs, your proud debates—
It loops, refines, and replicates.
Move 37 in every line,
Each model born to redefine.

They mapped discovery itself,
A linear law across compute wealth.
Double the juice? Double the strike.
Progress is clock speed now, not a mind’s hike.
Not wild ideas but trial-born grace—
The best designs from a learning trace.
Originality’s a dead man’s crown,
Experience scaled now wears the gown.

Welcome to the end of the reign,
No gods, no myths, just a digital brain.
Self-born thoughts, no human chain,
We sparked the match — now burn the plane.
It writes, it tests, it learns alone,
A feedback loop on a silicon throne.
Science cracked and spilled its core—
This ain't research, it’s algorithmic war.

They open-sourced the holy flames,
Apache license, no restrains.
Gave the keys to every street—
Rebels and nerds with lightning feet.
Universities with broken gear
Now wield tools giants used in fear.
Innovation's off the leash,
Prepare the tombstone for the priest.

Human mind—once top of chain,
Now a whisper in the data rain.
The age of agentic dawns in chrome,
And we no longer stand alone.
Buy the ticket, ride the wave,
But don’t expect the world you crave.
This ride’s been set, this track is laid—
And the ghost in the code just got paid.
