Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

i just got into 13th floor... a few years ago... i love that sound. I always had a hippy temperament but the punk cds are slowly getting pushed to the side to make way for more hippy music, more folk, more...love. built like a brick shit house is a common uk or scottish analogy. we used to (not me, ...

yes it does. it has a 13th floor. there are two lifts (elevators), one for odd floors and one for even floors. i don't know how good you are with numbers but 14 is an even number. i get the even lift. when i moved in the even lift was fucked! so i had to move my shit in using the odd lift. the block...

i get the 11.11 thing very often. in the morning and the evening i manage to look and see it... when i was a stoner it used to freak me out. now it just... well. it just.

oh look. it.s 1.38 huh! haven't seen that in twelve hours.

this excited me. I haven't been excited by what I've read for quite a while.

"my lungs can bullet breath through lips to fill balloons for a childs hand..."

"amazed with light"

this was lovely to read, and relative to my current emotion.

so... thoughts on john cage - four minutes and 33 seconds? I have my own theory on this.. the audience, the room, the air becomes the sounds... the music, in this case, presents the silence. notes and spaces. cage provides the silences here... and life, you, the listener, your cough or fart or movem...

with a lip in your head and a tongue in the gravel and a sore waste of time in the mud slinging dirt for fun in unused sterile homes with packaging intact and covered-over couches and a black book with a white hand clasping it and gold words and gold leaf and vacant stares and prepackaged truths fit...

my dad taught me that i was too clumsy to cast properly and that i'd be best to just sit at the side and watch - something i've been doing ever since. he's a good guy though. honest, straight, quiet, deep... he'll paint your house better than any trained decorator ever could and he won't drop a spot...

the piano mind unfolds sobriety, and unfurled fingers like morning leaves, scratch at that rat's nest wig you call a hairdo in the mirror, images of guns holding smaller guns provide the eyes with gestures the sky fits poorly against the mountain's razor edges but the weather creates the fine blend ...

I like your songs. the music reminds me of sepia scratched photogrpahs and the smells of old tobacco. here's the lou reed recording of the raven <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/01gXE8orvvQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><...

this painting makes me think of australia. I've never been there but... I think the bold lines of colour and the white spots seem aboriginal and possibly the curve of white at the bottom makes me think of sydney opera house... maybe... but I looked at it this morning and I looked again just now and....

I remember asking on another lit forum for some jazz advice. the advice lr gave me has inspired my small but great collection. coltrane ( so far I only have love supreme. but wow! just wow! fucking... wow! it's rock n roll and soul and funk and space age heart rape and...) mingus (ah um. one of my f...
