About Me |
|
I am the last of my species. "Avoid contact with all people in whom there is no possibe resonance with what touches you most deeply and toward whom you have obligations of 'kindness', of politeness. There are certain people who end up frequenting and even calling FRIENDS those they denigrate constantly." | Laure (Collette Peignot) | 1937 "There is a time to stop reading, there is a time to STOP trying to WRITE, there is a time to kick the whole bloated sensation of ART out on its whore-ass." | Charles Bukowski "We must give up trying to know those to whom we are linked by something essential; by this I mean we must greet them in the relation with the unknown in which they greet us as well, in our estrangement." | Maurice Blanchot, Friendship |

Music:"... the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song..." - Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather. Currently playing: "The Excellent Sides Of Swamp Dogg" Joan As Police Woman - To Survive CocoRosie - God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me Coil - The New Backwards "Garden Of Forking Paths" compilation Bonnie Prince Billy - Easy Does It Sublime Frequencies - Radio Morocco Crystal Castles - Courtship Dating Otherwise I like to play "In The Pines" and "Ramblin' Man" on my banjo and sing. And this year I want to learn "Sea Of Love" on ukulele. And I like to sit in the yard and listen to birdsong and windchimes with my one remaining half-decent ear. |
