From this day, and forward.

Your roller coaster's been climbing the hill for quite some time


hold on


the ride down


will be quite a thrill


hold on


no hands in the air this time


hang on for dear life


remember who loves you


remember who cares


then comes that crazy corner


the one that tries to throw you out


and after that


all those other ups and downs


one after another


but the big one


once over


is always behind you


glance over your shoulder


take a look at the past


it


is


gone

the BIG idea

I say, let's put sandwiches in plastic boxes, that you throw into the landfill so that there's something long-lasting and durable for all the other trash to rest upon. I say, everybody drive cars! Screw the atmosphere. I say, let's invade countries, develop miracle weapons systems, shoot for the Moon - or maybe even Mars while children suffer and die of malnutrition, poor sanitation, you name it - we got it. I say, "ad slogans solve everything.TM" I say, give everyone a video camera, have 'em all make movies of themselves, and post them to YouTube. I say, the sun is shining, I'm growing older, I'm going to go on a ride.

acts 8:23

i was remixed and came out better, again

lightning flashed in the western sky and the evening air was solid and sweet with summer rain - the smell of the tall grass and weeds filled the air - the months had moved along and now it was June - on the overpass, beyond the new interstate, the pavement was growing wet from a sudden shower unexpected and volatile in the moment. This was another evening in the stream of time known as you.

i was remixed and came out better

take track one and drop out the bass

then add some crystal bells and a synth loop


it is your life


just take control


and adjust the sliders


yourself


all it takes



is the effort




all it takes



is standing up to



the man



within.

in the silence

in


the silence




lies hope





in this





moment





lies your future









we





must






hold







on

Loop Guru and my Synapses

Music motivates. Loop Guru's "Through Cinemas" will take you away from Centerville, Utah, or Tualatin, Oregon, or Boise, Idaho, or Whitehorse, Canada. I promise. And if you're in the mood, try Gorillaz "Dare" from "demon days" - so much genius and so little time left. After all, gas is past $4 a gallon and more than 3000 US troops have died in Iraq and your tax kicker check isn't enough to cover your enormous credit card debt and tsunamis and earthquakes abound. Mere coincidence? You be the judge. And then there's that issue with your own deterioration and collapse. This is inevitable. So listen to "'95 (aka make things right)" by Lemon Jelly or "Starry Eyed Surprise" by Paul Okenfold or, yes, this sounds crazy, "Together" by William Shatner and Ben Folds. This is one elegant piece of performance art. Music enthralls. Pick up that ipod and plug in and start listening. Maybe you'll get somewhere. Maybe not. But the journey will be amazing. I remember lying between my large stereo speakers (100 watts rms) and listening to Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" - now that was mind blowing. And then comes Bill Shatner and Ben Folds with "Together." Hold onto your heart and smile. Wake up tomorrow, try a little harder, and smile.



and smile.

Legendary Pink Dots

If you can listen to the track "Super" by the Legendary Pink Dots, I suggest you do so. It is raw, mesmerizing and borderline insanity. I can't help but be moved. Emotion in music is everything.
