A Bifurcated Tale

Sun drawn, under the sky,
We dug in, after most all things

The brine of night and the butter knifes
Sang the grains of light.

Liberty, watched as the glass round
Your neck, caught our eyes

In all the angles and relations
There are so many emulations
Of our hobby and our hearts
Of our hobby and our hearts

In all the ways to be divided
It’s ideal that we collided
In our hobbies and our hearts
In our hobbies and our hearts

Lucinda and your summer hair,
all soft and bright

We walked along the avenue
of a 1000’s smiles

The feathered Wink of altitude
gave up our miles

On the path that we did find
It’s so lucky to have aligned
In our hobbies and our hearts
In our hobbies and our hearts

Sharp as a whisper in the dark
and never to be split apart
In our hobby and our hearts
In our hobby and our hearts

Shackiness Afoot


Just feeling totally detached yet pissy today. So I'm just going to include some photos of people I love.

Carl Sandburg visits me in a Dream

I cried myself to sleep last night
And the ghost of Carl, he approached my window
I was hypnotized, I was asked To improvise
On the attitude, the regret of a thousand centuries of death

Even with the heart of terror and the superstitious wearer
I am riding all alone I am writing all alone

Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition
I am riding all alone I am running all alone

And we laughed at the beatitudes of a thousand lines
We were asked, at the attitudes, they reminded us of death

Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?

Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?

And I cried myself to sleep last night
For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me

Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?

Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?

Birth of Cool

It’s trippy when your city becomes the grooviest places in the country for two weeks every year. All the podcasts, movie 'zines and interactive media that I plow through from LA/Seattle/NYC have been going nuts about this years SXSW for a month. And now, this past weekend the people started arriving in droves.

They're throwing their money around in our neighborhood bars/restaurants/record stores and boutiques in an effort to enjoy the Southwest during their strange little window of time. The students are away and it's almost like having adult swim in Bat City, USA.

All "hater" indie-kid crap aside, it should be fun. All the bands: the unsigned acts, the old acts looking for a new home, the secrete shows, the label parties, the fashions, the half dozen or so hot movies I'll get to see that aren’t out yet and don’t forget about the people. Oh, yes the beautiful and fabulous people who will draw me out of the house and keep me out of some of my favorite venues for the next solid week.

Even Pearl digs it.

Big Doings in Greenpoint


Found these recently when I was looking at begining a new project in my old neighborhood in NYC. I don't know if any of you can make out what going on in these images but where the red mark hits the land is where the last of these pictures was taken. Try referencing the Citicorp building. The one with the large slanted top.
