New Mix



Here's a new mix I made today. For the un-initiated, these are mash-ups (bootlegs, if you will). This means two or more songs "mashed" together to make a new song. Pretty neat, huh? It allows me to see (hear) the music in a new light.

The Music filled me up... Like my ears could breathe it in.

Something felt changed in me... I felt like I was part of something bigger.

I could taste magic and speak art... Hear the turn of the universe.

At least, this is what music means to me.

Wax Audio - Whole Lotta Sabbath
G3RSt – Take Off The Beginning
The Illuminoids – Should I Stay Or Wait For The Man
G3RSt – Smells Like Runnin’
The Illuminoids – Teenage Electric Lobotomy
G3RSt – A White Guy Is Playing At My House
The Illuminoids – Gimme Suffragette City Shelter
G3RSt – Pretender To Heaven
Voicedude – Turning Sukiyaki
G3RSt – Surrender All Your Lovin’
Pytski- We Will Rock With The Flow
G3RSt – Very Voodoo
The Illuminoids – God Save The Thief
G3RSt – The Ballad Of Chasey Pain
The Illuminoids – Pretend We’re North American Fun
G3RSt – E.C.D.T. Japan
The Illuminoids – Dead Mongoloid Loser
G3RSt – Bloom To Me
Leebuzz – Should I Go Around The World

"The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing. Anyway..."

Just one of those days...



Halloween always makes me think of the Bauhaus. Post-Punk, Goth, call them what you like. Their music has always coincided with the fall weather and Halloween especially.

"White on white translucent black capes...Back on the rack...Bela Lugosi's dead

The bats have left the bell tower...The victims have been bled...Red velvet lines the black box...Bela Lugosi's dead

Undead...undead...undead

The virginal brides file past his tomb...Strewn with time's dead flowers...Bereft in deathly bloom...Alone in a darkened room...

The count

Bela Logosi's dead"

See what I mean? It just fits. The time of year, the season, the darkening sky... it all just fits. Now and forever. Bela's undead indeed.

Ciao.

Crossroads...


Have you ever come to one of those points in your life that you suspect will end badly, but you have to forge onward on principal? I've come to that crossroad. I'm not sure how it will end, but you never know...sometimes, principal is all we have to stand on.
I'll keep you posted as this develops...

And..........The Fall





It's that time of year again. Falling leaves, falling temperatures, falling stock markets...What? You think I make this stuff up? Read any newspaper, watch any news channel; ask me, I'll tell 'ya.



It was once said (or sung) "The futures' so bright, I gotta wear shades...". They lied. The world's going to hell in a handbasket...well, actually it's moving at warp speed Mr Sulu!!! Towards the most obvious depression (obvious to me anyway) to hit this nation in quite some time. This used to be a nation of Innovators, Inventors and Leaders. Now...not so much. We have become a nation of "where's the next hand-out coming from". I have but one thing to say to people who want hand-outs....Get up off your arse and WORK for it!!! I will now get off my soapbox. Wouldn't want to sound too preachy, right?




On a much brighter note, I found this picture of our very own Columbus Blue Jacket, Captain Rick Nash...

It's for the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation. I'm not so sure that I could pull off wearing pink as well as he does, but, there you go.

And you thought that all hockey players did was fight. Do you feel properly chastised now?

Chelsea FC won again this past weekend. Go Blues!!!

The Columbus Crew is still on top of the MLS standings and are very close to winning the Supporters Shield for the season. Go Crew!!!

And, for now, I do believe that is all. Work, sleep, play if you have time.

Ciao.
