'this song'

Scratch Kelly: beats, synths, production 
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars, foolishness

You're incapable of love, I've found.
You've been turnin' these smiles you've made into frowns.
I must've been blind because I was down.
And now I'm just another fool of yours that's hangin' around. 

I know what I want to carry on.
I know what I need to keep me strong.
I thought our stars shone but I was wrong.
And now I'm pouring everything into this song. 

It's hard for me to accept.
I don't want my heart to be full of regrets.
But this is fucked up, you must admit.
And I'm the only one that's giving a shit. 

I know what I want to carry on.
I know what I need to keep me strong.
I thought our stars shone but I was wrong.
And now I'm pouring everything into this song.

The photograph was taken,between periods of rain, in my suburban garden in late September. This beautiful hoverfly is Sericomyia silentis (the Yellow-barred peat hoverfly) feeding from Japanese Anemone.. First time for the garden. Infact two female Bog flies were seen several times over two days.

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
