[Lyrics]
High tears bout you, so I cried myself a river
Took a branch and floated down it
Touch the water, then I shiver

It be getting extra deep, think about you all the time
I'm a mother-fucking creep, I can't get you off my mind

I just float through the mist, tried to stand and I slipped
Then I fall into the water as I close my lips
When I shut my eyes I woke up as is
In a room all white with a beat so crisp
Microphone's that live, interface so lit
With the red button flashing felt I had to do this shit

It all started with a verse when the river found me
You can watch me fill the room, you can't do without me
As the M-box float and the macbook too
When that water run in, it feel like it chosen you
Better hold all your tears, cause that shit'll make you drown
In my soul I feel you near, all this love I think I found 

I think I cried myself a river then I drowned up in the water

Could give a fuck bout a lame I only care about my fam
And I might go make an example for they ever try to air
But I would never hurt no body before my own I play it fair And I ain’t even proud of it I fucking hate the way they staring at me
These punks want come at Schimo so they gotta go through LP Jackson
But I’m worried about Daky, fuck you up before he catch it
Give a fuck about the law we running round your fucking address
Two bags now we active, fuck all of the rapping
Singing while I tap it, no eye contact after
I wish I could laugh with her but she know too much after
Lost all of my friends now all I’ve got left is the comrades I’m still making moves but for a minute I wasn’t really on that
I’m lazy when I’m off that, she ask me if I want that
Ask her if she want that, she said nah I want that one
That’s three hundred for the good bag, you know I got that good snatch
And my plug came in clutch with that, cause he the homie and we been sharing that 
Those diamonds take your body over like Uzi Mane, you losing weight,
Can’t recognize you anymore like Gucci Mane
So while you losing soft I’m moving trippy with the drix and the blues like I was Juicy J
I just took your bitch to the Eastside boy whatchu gon do you not Lil J

Me and Jackson we like Walter White and Jesse in the trap
I been smoking on the type of gas that got me off the map
Life’s a marathon but you can always see me running laps
You can say a lot of things but you can’t tell me that I lack
Im so painfully aware of everything I lack
I’m so stuck up in my head you know I can’t be keeping track
I don’t have a lot to give but what I have is for the Mac 
I’m Balboa down in Lancaster the city’s on my back
Eyes red know I’m slumped up off that gas pack
My bed is a symbol of my setbacks 
So fly but it’s rarely that I’m jet lagged 
Sent the text through my phone I said bet that
All the time that I wish I could get back
2 blunts in my Louis Vuitton bag
Talking music then you know that I’m on that
Talking money yeah you know that we on that

For the fifth instalment of Pet Projects, we are thrilled to welcome Alice and Jeff to the show. Much in-demand as a highly original, multi-disciplinary artist, Alice Evans trained at the Royal College of Art and Chelsea College of Art, and now works from her studio in Lancaster, a city we are unembarrassed about singing the praises of during our chat. 

With at least as broad an outlook as her loyal, mischievous and museful cat, Jeff, Alice’s prodigious output encompasses filmmaking, painting, poetry, photography and music. Today, as well as the irascible Jeff, we focus on her band, The Arcane Hope, who have just released an eponymous album and performed their first gig. 

Snippets from the following Arcane Hope songs appear in the second half of the show: (30:35), The Best Sci=Fi (36:45), Do Not Cry (38:49), Laundry Isle (42:54) and Heavy Sky (50:49).  

Blessed with autumn sunshine, this episode was recorded outside at The Storey Institute’s gardens in the heart of Lancaster, where we suspect – without solid proof – that Jeff may have been watching/listening to us from a nearby tree…

Pet Projects is a collaborative project devised by writer and editor Peter Humphreys and artist and filmmaker Ana Rebolledo, who provides the artwork and video content. It is available on Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes and elsewhere. If you’re enjoying the podcast please like, subscribe and share.

[lyrics]
And the only thing I need
Is to get it at my home 
And I know I'm trying to be 
What I told you I was on
And I know I'm trying to see
Where this goes or just belongs
And the only thing I need
Is to get it at my home 

I'm just puffing weed, got me caught up all alone 
Why you hating all on me, I've been trying to get you on
You must think that I'm a creep - that's okay I get a lot
I be going in it deep, now I'm lost 
come get me out 

I've been crossed, shit 
lost, shit
I think we taught that 
Black-balled, black-listed
I'mma get it all back 

Blaming no one but myself cause I won't get a call-back
Blaming doesn't really help if it don't change at all, yeah

You can do complaining, shit
You can go and judge that
Something feeling strange and
I won't really touch that 

Gave it up to play the side
Go and get your buzz back 
Gave it up to play your guys 
Tell me who just does that

I've been hating, need to go and get my trust back
I can't place it, need to go and get my love flat 
I just walked in and I asked her where the drugs at
I'm so lost here - I don't think I'm gonna come.

Let's get it

A seed of a seed of a seed of a seed...

Lyrics:

If we don't know better
If we don't know better
Well, did my parents know better?
No, but they tried

'Cause we all need
A sense of lore sometimes
Like I need a silent mind
In a consumer flood

And if I'm lucky
Maybe a glass of wine
And if I'm lucky
Maybe a hand next to mine

No, if we don't know better
No, will we try?

If I get lucky
Maybe a simple life
If I get lucky
Maybe some free time

No, if we don't know better
If we don't know better
Well, did my parents' parents know better-better?
No, but they tried

For the sixth instalment of Pet Projects, we are chuffed to welcome Ollie and Pixel to the show. As well as being a renowned author of speculative fiction (in the SFF genre), Dr Oliver K. Langmead (aka Ollie) is a Creative Writing tutor at Lancaster University’s world-famous Creative Writing department. 

Ollie describes how he first met Pixel, the importance of play, the shared health problems that saw them taking the same medication, and how ‘yard time’ for cats doesn’t have to mean putting wildlife at risk. 

Turning to publishing, Ollie discusses his research into (de)anthropomorphism and personhood, and his widely praised verse novel Calypso, a stunning piece of sci-fi, created with help from real-life astronauts, his longstanding editor, and literary influences including Milton and Homer. We discuss writing techniques, how to get into ‘the classics’, northern SFF events and publishing scams, among other things. 

Pet Projects is a collaborative project devised by writer and editor Peter Humphreys and artist and filmmaker Ana Rebolledo, who provides the artwork and video content. It is available on Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes and elsewhere. If you’re enjoying the podcast please like, subscribe and share.

Based in the sun-soaked High Desert of Southern California, indie musician Dominic Parker's musical project/persona The Sympathy Of All Things blends rich guitar tones, thoughtful lyricism, and psychedelic soundscapes together to find an emotional resonance.

Came up from the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Straight out the gutter having nothing and surviving in an environment infested with violence. Most underated artist in the city who doesn't get recognized enough. Expresses emotions and pain in his music. Most talented artist locally. Hands down.

I'm a writer and editor based in Lancaster. Check out my podcasts Pet Projects (in which I interview creative types about their pets - and their projects), First Impressions (a surreal slice of literary cheesecake), and Monkey Scribbling (two older blokes reflect on their youth in the '90s through the letters they exchanged at the time). 

Pet Projects is a collaboration with Ana Rebolledo and Monkey Scribbling with Richard Pye. 

The family band I formed with my brother, Decaying Leather, in 1989 continues to write and record. Our music can also be found on SoundCloud and elsewhere.
