Van Bass (Dying All The Time) - bETTER eVERYTHING

Dragons In My Mind (Angel Cut)

All Is Fair In Dreams

Dangerous - bETTER eVERYTHING

I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?

Help Me

Nackt - Scheherazade (City Mix)

Sun to Rise - bETTER eVERYTHING

Miss you T!! Can't believe it's been 7 years... I remember when I first heard the news that Labor Day weekend, I was driving down from the canyons and it started to rain... I just kept driving back and forth on PCH in the rain, listening to this rough iPhone recording of a song that reminded me of you... You've been with me ever since (and you always were even when we lived in different cities)... thank you for watching over me, and your family too, over all of us really.... an angel glowing in the aftershadows. 
***solar hugs***

(This eventually became a United Ghosts song... you can hear Axel's gorgeous 12-string on there, but this recording was really rough and pre-drummer so please forgive the drum machine... ;)

Aftershadows rough - dedicated to Tom O'Meara R.I.P.

LYRIX:;;;;;;

theres a portapotty
an empty bottle of wine
an abandoned bicycle 
with one wheel
 a man in a wheel chair
with a suitcase 
the suitcase breaks when it hits the cement
it opens and space invents
300 orange pharmaceutical bottles
and Chaos Dossiers
flying around tax returns
court summons 
declassification requests 
emails from his mom
invitations to his daughters soccer game
in 1978
a receipt for a Basquiat painting 
300 pages of printed out Ebay adds
duct tape 
4 cell phones 
stock listings cut up into tiny pieces and glued onto (manilla) envelopes
and stuffed inside tattered pissed on manilla folders 
a VHS tape of a romantic interlude with a Hells Angel
an Altoids tin with dollar bill pyramids cut  out
16 sets of ear plugs 
mostly worn
934 cents in change
42 bottle caps 
from 13 different countries
two knives
one glass eye
the keys to the helicopter

collect all the photographs
cut them in pieces 
and reveal something bigger

the globe 
a map 
not the territory 

i shake his hand 
and get in my armored tank
(and make money)
drive down the the dentists office 
talk to the secretary
who knows a guy
at the court house 
says he can get me in the back door

collect all the photographs
cut them in pieces 
 reveal something bigger


Dynamite on the shore
i walked to the abandoned train car
there a girl was crouching
she was writing
she wrote about the sideshow
she wrote about the dayglow
she wrote about the embryo
she wrote about the noosphere
words that sew
words that reap
words that set up
words that move in for the big kill
books that bleed 
through centuries 
if trees could talk
pulp synapsyses
train car littered in symbols
poltergeist graffiti
the drugs are setting in
i speak with a man in omaha
i speak with a man in wyoming
i speak with a man in arizona
i touched the cracked paint of a girls hand
from Saint Louis
i breathe the same molecule as confuscious
things tumble in 
i smell the ship
i smell the sails
i smell the breath of conquistadors
i see the contemporary conquistadors
