when we were cool the cool kids now 
were just starting school
So they could learn to be cool 
before they could say
when we were cool

the time for Tolkien has passed
everybody here's from some place else

Sidney Padget 
was Sidney Padget
not Charles Dickens 
who was Boz

Don’t shed one tear
if I show up gone
I'll wait up ahead
 as you carry on

and we"ll have a party 
the saint's ain't never seen
Laughing an’ talking
how things mighta been

the time for Tolkien has passed
everybody's on their way to some place else
We'll dance the night away

when we were cool

Seen Through The Window

"One of the most famous associations of the Deadly Nightshade is its connection to mythology, folklore and witchcraft. In antiquity, the plant was associated with the cult of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and ecstasy, and it was allegedly mixed for a drink that could induce a trance in worshippers. On a more sinister note, it also features in the myth of Odysseus, whose men were - legend has it - poisoned with nightshade and then turned into pigs by the witch Circe.

In times of the Roman Empire, Deadly Nightshade was rumoured to be Livia’s ‘weapon of choice’ to poison her husband, the Emperor Augustus. Allegedly, the Roman troops also coated arrow-heads with a paste made from the plant to poison their enemies.

Deadly Nightshade featured heavily in so-called witches’ ingredients and was closely associated with the Devil. For example, parents on occasion told their children that if they ate the plant’s berries they would meet the Devil in person - this was a tale told to help them avoid the berries. It was also apparently one of the ingredients that allowed witches’ to fly, something they experienced in hallucinations caused by a combination of plants."

Siren Standing Alone/Oritsuru

Sound reflections 
on impermanence
on everything that ends
which disappears from sight
on the oblivion of memory over time

the time that overwrites everything 
like a tape machine that play and rewrites 

endlessly

you still hear a few background noises 
like an echo

before they disappearing 
dominated by the universal background noise

the nothing advances 
and contains everything 
that has always existed 

in other shape.

AS MY MIND DRIFTS BACK IN TIME
I GO BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
WHERE THE BLACK TOP ENDED
AND THE DIRT ROAD STARTED
A PLACE WHERE THE BOYS HUNG OUT

CHORUS
I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
WHERE WE LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME
NO CELL PHONES OR LAP TOPS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
JUST JESSE PLAYING HIS FLAT TOP GUITAR
I MISS THOSE LAZY SUMMER DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

IT WAS THERE I HAD MY FIRST RACE
WITH GENE AUTRY TAYLOR
IN MY DADDY'S PICK UP TRUCK
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BRIDGE 
STAYED AT THE BRIDGE
THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS (2 TIMES)

JUST JESSE PLAYING HIS FLAT TOP GUITAR
I MISS THOSE SUMMER DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

“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)
