flaky flake

flake music; that pre shins shindig that Chiara threw my way once.

Hope everyone is having a great weekday segue in to weekend; I personally am doing great; a period of intense listening has begun anew!

much love all

Latin Prescriptive Grammars

Hey, remember putumayo?

I once purchased a cd of theirs while having a sleeping pill related trip in Buenos Aires; you can dl it here.

Phil Spector is GUILTY

now look at yourself

I put up a fake link for an album I recently completed yesterday; that was wrong of me, but I don't really think anyone is reading the fine print carefully enough to care about these kinds of things; whoever said, "jews have no rhythm" should have thought about non-metered aspects of timing.

Mom hoped I'd become a writer; it's not looking likely. Dad wants me to be a hard worker; a diminishing return. Max is always excited, but cynic in the grand scheme of things; that's life.

A few thoughts on this album, life and the process of placing oneself in the vast continuum of cultural identity;

I am 0.
Rosa is number one.
One minus zero is harmless
Zero minus one is only games in your head.

I want to thank the following people for making this hour or so of digestion possible; Adrian Pacia, Nick Koenig, Lena Leson, Taka Yasuzawa, Saul Flores (You're still a young man!), Mike Blumenthal, Joel Handley, John Bennum, Mike Garcia, Barry Sanders, Darren Dutch Daulton, Mickey Rooney, Mickey Rourke, Louis Weiss, Alex Visotzky, Burton L (the holy sprit), Samuel Crane Newhouse, NOT Rafa Capo, Derrick Tuttle (you shredder, you think I forgot you cause I was drunk...), Baron Davis, Tango & Cash.

I want to thank the following animals; The Iberian Lynx, The Elephant (a process unto itself), and Mick Foley.

Can you tell I'm stalling while it uploads? Damn stolen Spanish Wi-Fi in sterererero.

There's an "artist statement" in the genre section of the album if you listen to it in iTunes; or read it in installments with your media player of choice.

Everything is in parenthesis in this phase of my life here in Huelva, Andalucía.


My girlfriend is going to China and then Bangkok, she is a nut and that cracks me up.

newsworthy or James worthy, you decide...

hmm...

fuck you

Ok, pre-release party, but first: Harvard has problems, yikes...and now, birds of a feather; I wrote a poem in the genre section, kind of. Thank you's and other things tomorrow, until then, listen up!

and check out minnie ripperton at Nice Guy Eddie's joint, those who know know, or so said a great sage of the college age daze once, we thought.

Berlin?

Wow, you are like, hot and good all at once...

Oberlin at large

First of all, I have no comment as to the tendencies of Oberlin College graduates; that shit is nobody's business but themselves.

St. Francis loved the birds
so it's only right
to head on out to capastrano
even if it's for just one night

I can't spell too well
especially not digital
toes and fingers
feign inertia
read a book

who is this bird? I found out about her here: LDP KOO KOO!

I was at my free beach house flat earth piso México, with Germans, A French gal, a finnish-american princess (a frog and a princess together, just like Tom Robbins said...) and of course the entire Italian Royal family.

The team is all here again in Huelva, it's pretty magical, that is to say, magical things are happening.

Rafael Capo García Rodon

That's it.

I love Ten Years After, I know not everyone will, but the album WATT has taught me everything I ever needed to know about my life as an aspiring musician/pirate.

Lead singer/lead guitarists are cool, and Ten Years After has a great one.

'Gonna Run' is my personal favorite, but 'Think About The Times' is a close second.

WEll Well Well

I am not a hiphop fan. I am not a rap fan. I am not sure of anything anymore. I don't care.

Here's Tupac's album that came after "All Eyez on Me", the one that most people don't have a copy of but have mix CDs, labeled with words like "Middle School Dance Party".

It's pretty pretty good. Why would I lie to you? AMG gives it 5 stars, I didn't know that.

Working Out

Basketball is the best form of meditation available as things currently stand in this industrial hovel in the dirtball dirty south of Spain. Slovenia is producing 3/4's at an astonishing pace. I have noone to talk to about Tom Tolbert blowing dunks on the Magic nor Bill Walton having a conversation with Greg Oden after three swishers and a gravity bong built by Nate.

The Kinks wanted to make a movie, and why not? The idea was that they could base it loosely on real events, and somehow incorporate Australia. You can read about it anywhere but here. So, by that logic, they made a soundtrack to the movie before they could secure the funds for shooting the darn thing. The "concept" album that emerged has some elements to it that I am highly fond of; they turn the drums up and let loose on a few tracks as well as including horns in a totally distinct manner, vis-a-vis "Muswell Hillbillies" or "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, part one"

They called it Arthur.

Graham Chapman rest in peace, 20 years that's fucking crazy.

Speaker Wire

This basically explains everything, I think.

Tom Robbins is a rollicking good time for this reader when he's under the influence of small town spanish isolation.

Listen to TAKSTAR, he actually has something to say; at least the message reads loud and clear when amplified.

Keep living, start breathing with some vigor.

shame on you

shame on me?<

Morning Wake Up

I don't want to go to work. I'm petrified, sitting stone-faced in a cafeteria with headphones on.

New Jersey Nets Basketball is once again dismal and lottery bound.

Do I have wisdom teeth coming in at 22?

Berlin gaga is all exciting, I hope I can actually muster up the courage to go to work.

R. Kelly's "I Wish" remains atop my most played songs that I don't have in my iTunes.

Watch here, now that it is unembeddable.

Dick Cavett blogs movingly over his love affair with magic.

I am in love, yes yes yes yes, love.

It's perhaps a young love, but that's ooooook.

Naivete is a friend in this day and age of cynicism.
