I’m the only one watching the girl with the mic in her hand
The party is over. The groom has just paid off the band
The girl is stone sober – she must have walked in off the street
And this is her moment as she starts to tap her feet

The gun-runner married the gunslinger’s daughter at noon
The great and the good and the greater good thronged in the room
The champagne was gurgling. The fish-eggs on ice were still-born
The bankers and thankfuls
And diplomats and sycophants
Toasted the couple.
The band played a shuffling tune
And under the lights
Someone offered advice
On where to invest
And build up an off-shore nest

The numbers all added up
Then the girl with the mic shows up

The song in her throat has a dissonant note from the start
The mic takes no prisoners, the sinners are thrown to the sharks
The gunslinger’s slung his last salvo, the gun-runner’s next

The mic is a boom
And it’s strapped to her heart
Until death do them part
In the next thirty seconds or less

No more torture-show talk
No derivative gain
From a deal on a plane
This old school is under arrest

The girl bows her head
No more words to be said
And I’m sweating in cold dread
As the mic self-detonates –

But I have been fooled by paranoid thoughts in my head
The girl is no terrorist. The bride and the groom remain wed
The mic is a mic - it is neither a gun nor a bomb
And as for the girl, when I open my eyes she is gone –
With her song

Just here to have fun and listen to your music. Share it with me please.
 This noise is all about Love and understanding, or something like that jibberish.  Racism and Sexism are not a part of my dictionary/vocabulary.
You are invited to lurk around in my misophoniattic mind for a bit. I love all music in every shape and form, as long as it has passion laced with insanity and a cut of recklessness behind it.
Become fearless in this crafted art while taking out of the box chances.
.Boredom is my enemy. I compensate for this by trying to work with every genre. Even without ears the body can feel fluctuations in sound waves. Without eyes our fingertips can read a story of bumps and groovy textures.  
          I am in love with sound in every form and shape.
Have you ever felt as though music has a flavor? What taste are you leaving behind?
Let me know with Your interpretations. I Love hearing new music from fellow musicians.
       .This noise is what I call Bawdy-Folk-mewsta.
.Or, more easily.... WARM blanket+Cold pillow. Created with whatever is laying around.

I am really interested in the blurring of boundaries between Art, Sound Art and Music (most specifically Electronica) and people who are interested in the role of music, how we interact with it and how as listeners we can collaborate with it.
