well i was standing in my room
with an impending sense of doom
my charger was broken and my iphone was almost dead

was my backup charger in my desk?
i guess there's nothing left but to check
and when i opened it up, this is what i saw

bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer
and now i'm really not sure what i was looking for
bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer 
and i have never been more deeply frightened before

well did i need the charger that bad? (YES)
it was the only one i had
and my battery was under ten percent

so i took a book and smashed it dead
wondered what was running thru its head
when it realized that it had crawled into the wrong drawer

bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer
and now i'm really not sure what i was looking for
bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer 
and i have never been more deeply frightened before

no life is worth taking, human or bug
sometimes we should chill out and just not worry bout our plugs
that bug's life was worth way more
than a temporary charge on an iphone 4

bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer
and now i'm really not sure what i was looking for
bug in a drawer, i found a bug in the drawer 
and i have never been more deeply frightened before

SPACE...
THE FINAL FRONTIER -!
These are the voyages of the college station, "uclaradio.com"
.... :)

So a couple days ago NASA announced the discovery of a nearby solar system with no less than 7 (!) earth-like planets. And it's begging the question... what influence will space travel have on the future of music/sound in our own civilization?!

Look forward to a conversation with Nate Schwartz, a known "galactivist," on gravity frequencies translated to hertz (so our ears can hear them)!
You'll also hear from Liam Collins who'll unpack the sonic earth messages currently passing the far reaches of our solar system.

With 2 (!) guests, WWCS has set its proverbial phasers to STUN! 
Dont miss this Saturday morning's SPACE SOUNDSCAPES show, at 11am on uclaradio.com ~!

here's a place I'd like to be...

close your eyes... 

breathe in another space, maybe apart from time...

a great hall, carved into a granite mountain...

and full of sound and light...

transcript:

the air is cold
stone walls shine, but not brightly, its more of a dull glow
you cant quite see anything reflected in the thick rock, but light from the yawning arches plays off the purple and black and grey like water 

looking through - past the columns, strong and tall as pine trees
a sharp valley drops to a dark green hill to the west
above it, there are some clouds but the sky almost matches their color, so it just feels empty
-

it was built into the face of a granite mountain
each upper level grows smaller with the slope of the great outer face, and it might feel like a massive tower, an open half-pyramid, if not for the feeling of the inner wall when a hand is placed against it
a touch thats full, the wall simultaneously stretching far away back into the earth and also reaching up toward the mountains peak

looking up - rings of walkways line the inner rock face, shelves just big enough to house little storefronts, merchants, corners where handiwork is shared
some spots are further away and quiet, others face the main hall
those soak up the sounds of commerce and play from down below
-

in the center of the main hall is a fountain
a large, sturdy, sculpted goat drips, marbled and deep
its a water source, but its also a place where people meet, where kids show off the little machines and toys they've built above
a place to talk and drink and suck on sticky nectarines
most days the fountain itself just trickles, enough to wash up a little
a small stream follows the goats horns, swirling, slow
only during a heavy rain, with horns slick and dark, does its belly fill, and the fountain bursts with clean, cool water

looking in - from the north side of the promenade, an evening sunlight fills the hall with an orange light, textured like baked fruit
as dusk fades over the western hill, everything that moves shimmers, then settles

San Francisco, CA - Drop the needle and start navigating the heat of a Backyard Rumba with Los Intocables, led by Gilberto Rodriguez. We present Modern Chicano Soul creased down the middle of Bay Area Guanguanco street rhythms accompanied by over driven bass and expressionist trumpet lines in full color. Groove laden tracks bring the cruise to life and steal a kiss on the tropics of an eternal brown-eyed summer.

"Totonita Encantadora came together in the studio after dinner. We wanted to spend the rest of the night unwinding on a cumbia arrangement that would eventually become the condensed 13 minute track you’re listening to now. Looking back on the album, there's a rare sonic experimentation delving into the depths of weird Latin-Soul that takes no precedence over any specific genre but rather is as fluid as the shifting demographics of the U.S. today. Lyrically, I wanted to approach the track like an incantation using as minimalist an approach as possible with room to improvise over erotic verses. Multi-percussionist, Ahkeel Mestayer dominates the rhythm with timbale giving light to cumbia sonidera territory while Ruben Sandoval’s Rhodes keys hypnotize the listener, break after horn break by the Rodriguez brothers, Carlos and Jorge. Totonita is an invitation to infinite pleasures, whispered caresses and tropical sweat perspiring amongst the most intimately aroused flesh. " - Gilberto Rodriguez

Los Intocables are Ahkeel Mestayer on all Percussion, Ruben Sandoval on keys, brothers Carlos and Jorge Rodriguez on trumpets & Gilberto Rodriguez on guitars and vocals featuring guest vocals from Ilia Correa Sepulveda on the track "Bahiá Caliente."

The album was produced by Greg Landau and Gilberto Rodriguez. Recorded and mixed by Gabriel Shephard at 25th St. Recording Oakland, CA.
