Made with the ending excerpt from Runaway off of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. I heard it as a duet.

Runaway (ending + sax)

Kelso

Updated mix, thought it was a relevant time for a re-post.

Song inspired by an audio sample from a video shot by a friend at a protest in front of the OPD station over imposed curfews on marches after dark under Mayor Libby Schaaf that were imposed on the #SayHerName assembly a few days prior, circumventing certain 1st amendment rights..

Very powerful chant organized against police violence enacted on women of color, as well as against the attempts to silence that organizing.

"Don't fear the revolution, black power is the solution."

Black Power Is v2

Wanted to make one song but came out sounding like another song.. a song about machines skilled at taking your allowance money.

Day zx94.2.q: Continue dot dot Question Mark (instrumental)

Song about arcades taking your lunch money...or is it...? (metaphor anybody?)

It probably is...

Was working something else out, but this just sounded too much like machines convincing me to give them more quarters to stay alive.

Lyrics:
*sounds of defeat*

Computer Voice: Game Over.  Continue?*

If you don't continue the monster will eat us, defeat us x4
defeat us, defeat us, defeat us, defeat us (yeah)
defeat us, defeat us, defeat us, defeat us (yeah)
If you don't continue they'll,
Defeat us (yeah)
If you don't continue they'll,
Defeat us (yeah)

*computer voice has no inflection, but it's supposed to be a question

Continue dot dot Question Mark

		DORIAN
No, I’m not losin anything. Except maybe some extra baggage around here.
