The Tug Of Love (Patric Bakkenist)

March: The Worm Moon
'Snow slowly begins to melt, the ground softens, and earthworms show their heads again and their castings or fecal matter can be found'.

Our anti-Kismet song.


Ever since you said you liked the way
I put the words down on the page
We have been insane

No conspiracy, no mystery
We made each other up for sure
But all the same 

I listened to you tell me it’s a necessary sting
But after all these years I know it isn’t anything
But the Worm Moon
 
In an empty space we found a place
Convinced that it’s all destiny
Where we have been inflamed

I don’t wanna beat you up
Or knock myself around
I just wanna pick it up
And put it in the ground

We made each other up
But even so

You listened to me tell you kismet is happening
But now I realise that there just isn’t anything
But the worm moon

I listened to myself about the cosmic wandering
But after all this time I think it isn’t anything
But  the Worm Moon

I listened to you tell me it’s a necessary sting
But after all these years I know it isn’t anything
Or is it that 
We have been explained


The Worm Moon - Phlogiston

DeSirius were my second proper band, formed in the very late 80's in Hackney, London. The awkwardly-named band featured Bill Corbett on guitar, Neil Keenan on keys, Tony Grafton on bass and Erno Veen/Alex Jones on drums.
Stand Up is one of three tracks recently ripped from an old and dusty cassette of our 1990 studio demo.
'Digitally remastered' by CJ Denecia.

2015 verdict: organ overwhelming

Stand Up - by DeSirius

DeSirius were my second proper band, formed in the very late 80's in Hackney, London. The awkwardly-named band featured Bill Corbett on guitar, Neil Keenan on keys, Tony Grafton on bass and Erno Veen/Alex Jones on drums.
What I Really Wanna Hear is one of three tracks recently ripped from an old and dusty cassette of our 1990 studio demo.

2015 verdict: too many words.

What I Really Wanna Hear - by DeSirius

One of the songs which emerged from my dark night of the soul, Longing was enhanced by the talent and vision of Jay Quibodeaux and features Shankarji on guitar.
This is the 'Soul Crusher' mix :)

Longing

Remix of our old song with new drums, scale and polish.

When You Give It All (2017) - Phlogiston

An incubus calls.
Created by Jules Portinari and Kim Christie (Sugarstick, 2005) in the Hewitt Road box room, N8.

Sweetheartwarmbalm (Sugarstick)

Another Phlogiston (Gregg Gavitt and Kim Christie) sensation.  Been working on this for 9 years, averaging once every 3 years for about a week.  The vision moves at its own pace.
This is the first tune in which I become a guitar.  It'll become a great example of work from Gregg's 'Lockdown get down' period.

Any resemblance in the vocal melody to Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America' is entirely subliminal.  As any fule no there ain't nothing new under the sun.
