Garden Variety: Greatest Songs of the 1980s (50-35)
2008-01-25 06:32:00
(Just looking at this picture makes me feel glad all-over.)I'm not sure what complex algorythm that VH1 employedto calculate the following "Greatest Songs of the 1980's"way back in 2006 but I think that it's gorgeous thatTwisted Sister can sit comfortably wedged between theBruce Springstein (did you catch that?) and the The Police, and Motley Crue between The B52s and The Clash. It somehow describes the '80s for me.As William Gibson, author of the popular 1980'scyberpunk classic Neuromancer, once said,"The future is already here, it's just notevenly distributed." I'm not sure what he meantbut it sounds clever and odds are he was watchingMtv when he thought that one up.I wouldn't want to opine about this or thattime period being more or less diverse or betteror any of that nonsense, and certainly don't knowabout Mtv being a good index for much of anythingsubstantial, now or then, and even though I didn'tlisten to any of the music contained herein in anyway but peripherally,...

About a Girl (Rearranged, Regurgitated, Summated & Expurgated) Pt. 1
2008-01-22 00:44:00
Out of order (or)triple entendrea little background:(from: July 26, 2007)"A couple of weeks ago while looking throughthe few remaining pieces of detritus of my formerlife that were left at the cabin at Stinson Beach,I found a series of four mixtapes that I had givento a certain girl. I had taken them back at the endof our little run together. I quasi-permanently"borrowed them", not so much out of immaturebitterness and retribution, but because theywere really good; it is amazing how that nebulousand arguably insane feeling of "true love" cancontribute to creativity, albeit, in this case viaa sophomoric medium. During my stay at the cabinall of them got eaten by the tapeplayer there. I vaguely remember stuffing the wholeshabangle into a box then, four years ago, thinkingthat I would repair them at some point, along withthe maudlin ex post facto liner notes regarding themotivation for the inclusion of each song that I hadfitfully written one night at the cabin remorsingover the murder...

The metaphor refers tothe regions not normally occupied during "normal" states of consciousness by the statistically normal person, so-called. Bringing on the altered states can be achieved by meditation, mold (taken deliberately or inadvertently) or by other drugs with psychotropic effects or an organic incidental imbalanceof the physiology of unknown origin etc. These areas can be cast in a brilliant effulgence and perhaps make manifest nirvana(heaven) or the ersatz feeling of the self-realized mind state, or contrariwise, a visit to these nether regions can, in the case of a "bum trip", make one feel as though they have entered into hell, depending o...
