I hardly remember this one. It outlived my computer, so I figure that it earned the right to be uploaded. If you are allergic to sentimentality, or the lack of mixing, I suggest you cover your ears.

Drunk, 16. When the time was right we drove the car to the beach in the dark.
Quietly. I swam as far out as I could, ignored the screams.

Pitch black freshwater played the role of headphones.
Even darker sky, my tv and my telephone.
Emma worried, maybe sensed something I did not know.
I do now, though.

Grew up too soon. Brought brick weed and imagined truth. Laughing moon.
Black cocoon. Still the same old water passing time. New kids by the waterline.
And in my head they swim again towards the deepest part.
All their friends back on the beach with hindsight in their hearts.
No, it´s mine, since no one is there. Guess I played the role a bit too hard...

Backstroke - (Keep finding old songs that refuse to die)

If anyone feel like singing or something on this one, feel free.

Fredagsmolnen (Forgotten guitarthingy from the vaults)

54 years ago, I found a bunch of funny bass samples. Forgot the song. Found it recently, and was forced to accept the fact that it sounds like a soundtrack from some really sketchy, Avant-garde, space.....porn. I´m ashamed, and amused.

Konsensusdepartementet - Pizza Delivery

Messy project. Just felt like singing something. It´s 04:36 am, and I guess my neighbors love it. But they are the kind of people who sleep, and therefore they have no right to complain.  Mixing is for quitters. And for people with computers that does not break down when the tracks get too many. I always have an excuse, and I reserve my right to have one.

I remember the stories, the fables far from fear. When you are born you are crying, then you laugh and you die, the circle never disappear. And I miss my old instincts, to lust to, trust and to feel. You saw snowflakes in flight, I saw rain in disguise, accepted judgments singing in my ear.

I remember how simple the questions often would be. Is this forest all trees, are you staying with me? If not just let this animal run free, even if I would get lost in the pines, bushes and leafs.

You saw brightness in snow, I saw Hell down below. 
You saw brightness in snow, I saw Hell down below.

Circles In Circles

Old live cell phone sketch of a cover I was planning to record properly. Original by the genius Taylor Hollingsworth.

I never got to record this cover for real. A piece like this deserves more attention and a less drunken cover version than this, but sometimes one can´t do what one wish to. Logic is a fucking fucker.

Listen to Taylor H. His talent scares me and should do the same to you.

Old live voice memo recordings - Ring around saturn (Original By Taylor Hollingsworth

2007-08-12

Recorded some sort of live test for the first time in ages.  Kinda improvised. I have so many excuses. To low pitch for my fucking stale throat.  

 There, all better..

Keep them eyes locked on the clock today
Chase the seconds that escape
Guess I missed another day


Keep my nose broke, as it should be, I just like the flow
Keep me warm with my own blood, it´s a questionable way to grow
Anyway that´s what I hear, from my inner child too loud
Keep him inside, yeah let him run wild in his black cloud


I keep all of the wrong things, I am bound to my mistakes
Like the post-it note, in the cubicle remain
Anyway that´s what I hear, when I finally ask for help 
Keep my eyes locked on this old clock, until time fade away

I can´t sleep and found this 3 year old "remember this"-recording on an old hard drive. It´s not great (although it seems that basement provided some interesting reverb) , but I could, like you, be run over by a bus tomorrow, so it will have to do for this night. I can´t wait to release REAL recordings. This stuff makes me look like a stumbling boy. I´m a stumbling man now, for fuck sake...

Light up your firehouses we are not coming home tonight, no we are not coming home tonight.

Got plans on other sides, with the weakest boarders you have ever laid your eyes upon, I would fail to raise alarm: Now the breach is long and gone.

End stop. Bus ride. Ends here, still stuck in this ferris wheel.

Brought me to a ticket stand with a wlfare check in hand, left my ego back home man, I have got plans in others eyes, with a man so cold he had no one to lean on when the theme song came and went.

So he went home, and found, someone else on his throne. The big heist, the wrong loan.

The Zeitgeist in his home.

No Name #165 - Old Cell Phone Recording Of A Song That Never Got Recorded

Nope, I did not record the guitar in a big oil drum. 

Ensam - Instrumental Lo-Fi Film Score

Nackspärr

Vad ska det bli

For some reason, years after finding his first album, I listened to Elvis Perkins yesterday while enjoying the sweet nature of an epic hangover after an even more epic midsummer-eve. So I recorded some kind of live cover to keep the stomach where it belongs. A bit too low pitched, but who has the energy to move the capo? Kinda gritty sound since I  recorded both the guitar and vocal into the same mic in one take, and also because my voice was kinda muffed up, but none of those facts are new, so I will stop writing about now.

We lost a great writer, journalist, debater, intellect and free thinker on December 15, 2011. Much can be said about Christopher Hitchens, good and bad, but rather than speak in his defense it's probably best to just let the man speak for himself. No one can do it better.

This 38 minute mix is a collection of audio clips taken from Hitchens' debates, interviews & speeches. Similar to previous Godcasts, the music is a mishmash of various genres and song clips, ranging from very familiar to totally obscure, all arranged and edited by Sage Francis.
