It WAS my early intro to SY at 17, taped off WSMU, and I loved it! The humor, spontaneity and chaos.. Still inspiring! Bless them for not taking themselves too seriously

I started recording the piece at 4.25 in the morning, hence the title. And what I was trying to do was interact with the space through my voice and listening -- a kind of unheard intervention in the roar of the city, which even at this time of the morning is quite loud. I was working to blend my vocalizations with the environment, blurring the boundaries of what was being "performed" by me and what was being happening in the environment. An interaction which had perhaps more to do with listening as much with me making any sounds in reaction to the environment.

Recorded for Cartopodes / Episode 3: Eclosions

A Quiet Night on the Mooncam

A quiet night on the mooncam
Another visit to the morgue
A crowded place but it's okay
There's always room for one more

And Calaban has been busy
He is hands on
No matter how much it's never enough
But God is all and all is one

All the colors of the spectrum
All the dollars in the bank
Examine your risk assessment
You worry about all the wrong things

A quiet night on the mooncam
The silence of the stars
Saturn and Cassiopea
Ganymede and Mars

Making plans with a deathwish
Dodging in the nick of time
Everytime someone saves your life
You spit right in their eye

You can embrace surrender
So we are taught by the wise
But let us do what people do
They satisfy their desires

A quiet night on the mooncam
The silence of the stars
Saturn and Cassiopea
Gantmede and Mars

Calaban has been busy
He is so hands on
No matter how much it's never enough
But God is all and all is one

A Quiet Night On The Mooncam

Analise I'm rolling on the ride
I've been waiting now for all these deadly days
To fall into your eyes
But sure as a tide the tempest rise
And wash away the light
Sure enough the morning star came right on time

Analise there was nothing there at all
But I went on a little run tonight
And it spun into a fall
So close to overdose but missed it by a mile
I'm a wounded soul and I'm out of fight.

There's a devil inside
There's a devil inside
There's a devil inside
Let him die

Analise can we turn back the hands of time?
Can we sing so hard that everything makes sense and somehow rhymes?
Or fall away, swim in azure waves
Escape to a place where I can't find you to darken all your days
Sure as the tide I'm on the ride blind without a guide
Maybe I will be your morning star tonight

There's a devil inside
There's a devil inside
There's a devil inside
Let him die

YOU DON’T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don’t know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don’t know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).
