[Steve]

Well Matt, you've done it again. You've got me on the edge of my seat.

[Frunobulax]

Gooooooood.
My job is done.

So far: Buckingham Whatever is in the works. A fast little ditty in 13/16 time. And DD2-14, from BW is partially composed in notation form.

[Steve]

A crazy idea hit me today . . . maybe an album based on ARCHIPELAGO?

[Frunobulax]

Maybe. I could see graphic scores or experimental scores.

[Steve]

Well, you're the genius. You know what the people like.

[Frunobulax]

Maybe a bleak score for low woodwinds, white noise via mic and amp, and metal percussion.

[Steve]

(as Quagmire)

Yes. Yes. Do it. Yes. Oh God. Yes.

[Frunobulax]

Probably once the novel is done.

[Steve]

If that ever happens.

[Frunobulax]

It will--I'm certain of that.

[Steve]

Well, I'm writing it just to write now. If it ever seems like I'm getting distracted from BILLY SAID KEEP GOING (which is actually in final draft now), and KATRINA, YOU DONE A HECKUVA JOB, I don't know what'll happen.

[Frunobulax]

Awright.

A Bajillion CDs has been delayed to July 4th due to homework.

Also, I have changed my electronic music project's name:
I was Takuro Spirit.
I now am DD 2-14.
DD 2-14: the official number for military discharge papers.
All EPs and LPs made under the original moniker will retain the name, all new releases will carry the new name. All re-releases or reissues a la Fugazi's 13 Songs will carry the name they were released under.

[Frunobulax]

OK, a link has been posted at .net for the download of Bajillion. And here it is:

Remember:
Side 1=me
Side 2=Dave/Callahan
If I remember correctly, two of Dave's songs have weird static present as maybe a digital artifact or maybe from peaked meters. Dunno.

[Frunobulax]

Ouroboros
Am I to repeat
This vicious cycle?
Hi's and lo's but not bipolarity.
Ouroboros, a lemniscate
Of happiness and depression.
Forever returning to the same spot.
why?

[Frunobulax]

Yessum
Looking up
Seeing clouds caressing
The faint powder blue sky.
Yessum, this is the life.
Yessir this is for me.
I wouldn't move if you paid me.
Looking sideways at the grass,
Blades a-plenty.
A fountain spurts and sputters.
Children ring bells for ice cream.
Cream and ice and milk and sugar.
Replenished energy.
Kinetic movement propelling their
Broca's areas.
Chiropractice helps their parents
Carry the strife.
Propelling.
An airplane with a banner flies low
And I have the urge to consume
What it advertises.
Yessum this is America.
Yessir this is marketeering.
And now that sky turns
A bruised purple of sunsetting times.
Leaving am imprint on the grass,
The grass an itch on my flesh,
Like a fleabite with mosquito garnish.
Yessum, this is the life.
Yessir, this is a day of waste.

Crass
Crass cramming of facts.
Abstaining from usefulness and venturing
Into the obscure nothingness,
The world of daguerreotypes and mimeographs.
The body of capitals and currencies.
Of saffron and water.
Bread and gravy.
Crassly spotting stupidity.
Of mind and body.
Now speaking loudly,
A million lira idea.
Libra pondo, libra pondo.
Irescunt vitum est.
The argument, the answer,
Neither is clear nor needed.
Crassly coming up with nothingness
And calling it solutions.
E pluribus unum
E pluribus assus.
Nolo nolo nolo.
Q'est-ce que c'est?
Yo no say.
Crassly creasing curses and clothes.
Cockuhthewalk.
Shuddup.
Crass blocks of liberty and freedoms,
Who needs 'em?
Crass and cowardly.

Carjack
Hoisted upon our own petard,
Mental growth slowed to an absurd ritard.,
And crawling through slime and
Digging through the collective grime.
Clocks and glass show
As the faint sound of a flow,
Water? Acid? Waste?
Faintly leaving some acrid taste
In our mouths as a burn.
All hope spurned
For our fallout shelter.
In the darkness I felt her
Skin trembling in cold and fear,
Nothing is near.
All we hear
Is the faint hydraulic thud
Of a carjack.

— What was the hardest thing to determine in the vinyl era?
— Whether a Brian Eno LP was warped or whether a Philip Glass LP was skipping.

This made me laugh for no reason.
