So, do you like your coffee [(not picky, fishes and fences)+(for lack of a better title)]

I’d forgotten what a great song Limo Wreck is!  Cool bassline too!  All those pug and foot fetish videos (oh the glorious hosiery!) must have distracted me!  12 beat thing wrapping around 15 bars or something!  I have trouble with all time signatures because I’m a terrible magician!  And a terrible musician for that matter!  Need to read some penguin paperbacks about magicians at sunrise.  Pop by U2 is a very interesting album!  Haven’t decided what I feel about it even all these miserable decades later.  If God Would Send His Angels is beautiful though, that’s for sure.  Listened to the Joni Mitchell album Hejira yesterday while driving through grey and then pink skies.  Joni’s work is growing on me in leaps and bounds.  Beautiful bass playing on that album too! Our boy Jaco if I’m not mistaken.  Loved that Nine Inch Nails rehearsal video that was posted the other day.  These EP’s have been great.  Groovy lighting and photography too on that one. The Day I Tried to Live has even more great bassmanship!  Shepherd, you’re killing me here!  Sumptuous playing!  

Ah, everything is going all blue and pixilated right now.  We’re at the turn, love it.  The feel of the Precision in my hands is so inspirational.  As is Unknown Pleasures.  They go hand in hand.  Someone keeps shining a flashlight in my face.  Primitive but innovative.  At the same time.  Perfection.  Our Mother is there on the back.  Colorful and caring and emblazoned on a humble stick of wood.  John Frusciante’s solo albums are beautiful.  It’s hard to pick a favorite but I love the raw beauty of his debut.  The interviews and footage are tragic; the music the pure sound of a tortured self destructive and dying soul.  Really great guitar playing too.  

I need to start listening to my Savina Yannatou albums again!  I’d forgotten how vital and beautiful that music and especially her voice is!  

You know I’m a bad writer for how often I fall back on using the word beautiful!  The Maries of the world. I wonder how that sounds.  

Is that next to last song played on a fretless bass?!  I love like suicide.  

I was looking through the glass and someone who looked familiar was looking back at me but he or she could not actually see me and in the end I could never be sure if that person was really the person I knew or someone who looked exactly the same but was actually from another dimension or another time.  

The O writings are amongst my very favorite.  It was necessary.  I thank you again, John, for the needed idea.  It worked as much as could possibly be hoped for.  Yet, she is still present.  It is not bad though.  He may again know himself.  he may again know her.  I deleted the photos but they exist somewhere.  White and red on Valentine’s Day (he’s got something to say).  Heston?  

I keep waiting to see if the mythical city of gold has been cancelled.  

The bunnies in the red room with the cross on the wall and carrying those candles still frighten me.  Then I realize it’s not a cross.  

I love the album Body Count released this year.  Bloodlust has been a mainstay in my car and my posh flat since the day I purchased it.  It’s a real raw and uncompromising and vital release, really tapping into the vein of the cultural zeitgeist!  Just really tapping the fucking shit out of that fucker!  Yeah!  Love it!  

The UPS man showed up at my doorstop recently (was it the middle of the night?!) and I realized for the second time I knew him well.  I’m sorry I wasn’t quick enough with those pull boxes!  I truly am sorry!  Please forgive me!  Still, you didn’t have to be so damn snarky about it!  it was a good boxing match though, wasn’t it?!  Oh, what a world!  And what a writer (Patterson!)!  
But what did this tall man bring?  He’s not actually that tall but his name evokes that response from me.  Of course, he brought me Jodorowsky’s new film Endless Poetry.  I’ve been renewing my Jodorowsky love and am excited to dive into his latest work (still need to check out the Dune documentary).  Love Streams.  It’s time to do that deep dive into Cassavetes work and this is as good an entry point as any.  Or is it?  A single disc edition which has Hostel and Hostel Part 2.  Alas, I did not read the fine print and now I see this disc omits all the special features which would be found on their individual releases.  Roth does great commentaries.  Worry not though because I can regift this particular disc to a short but proud and overall great man.  I think he’ll enjoy it.  Danny Elfman’s score for Justice League (also includes the pop songs which were featured in the film including a great cover of Leonard Cohen’s Everybody Knows by Sigrid.  I’m looking forward to filling my driving space and living hole with Elfman’s orchestral stabs (the Wonder Woman theme never sounded better).  After seeing the film twice it does feel like minor Elfman but minor Elfman is still a great listen.  And lastly Blur’s classic album Parklife.  I must confess to being a Blur newbie and most of this album is a mystery to me but I am eager to remedy this.  Also, the lyric books seems to have some of the chords written down next to lyrics so I’ll be interested to see if I can works some of these songs out on the bass.  I doubt it, he said.  

I sometimes go by the name snake.  I’d forgotten my receipt book you see.  She made me nervous.  Pregnant?  Need to watch Barry Lyndon again.  and some documentaries.  I cannot dance like the little man.  Allgoodthings.  That did the job today.  It was perfunctory.  Evaporating satisfaction.  I don’t mind perfunctory.  I may go back to that ugly city this weekend.  Of the entryways, I have 1 of 6, 4 of 6 and 6 of 6.  I think it’s time to fill in some of those odd numbers.  The odds on favorite is 2 of 6 but 5 of 6 could certainly pull off an upset win.  Only time will tell.  Time, patience, the right berries.
