Record of the Day 5-13-2020 - Dose Your Dreams - Fucked Up
Record of the Day 5-13-2020 - Dose Your Dreams - Fucked Up #DoseYourDreams #FuckedUp #music #recordoftheday #punk #posthardcore
Fucked Up’s record Dose Your Dreams is sprawling and diverse. It is a kitchen sink record, they threw everything they could at it. It keeps all the post-hardcore punk sounds that they had in the past (with some minor flourishes) and adds disco, EDM, indie rock, pop and psychedelic elements. Unlike their great punk music of the past, this also utilizes what must be 15 to 20 vocalists including…

Dead Languages In An Encrypted World
Dead Languages In An Encrypted World #Poetry #Poem #Poems #DeadLanguages #Information #Data
Dead languages in an encrypted world
Floating on currents of textual seas
New syntax and context unfurled
Ideas carried by the digital breeze
Mass less data of New Babylon
Still growing ziggurat of a modern age
Non-physical ideas carry on
With or without the page
Language united with math
Following the binary path
What or or who does it benefit
If anything or anyone at all
Are the data’s flows…

Record of the Day - 5-12-2020 - Ocean Songs - Dirty Three
Record of the Day - 5-12-2020 - Ocean Songs - Dirty Three #music #recordoftheday #dirtythree #horsestories #oceansongs #warrenellis #jimwhite #mickturn #postrock
Dirty Three might be my favorite post-rock rock band. I’ve never been 100 percent sure where the category begins and end or when a band is considered an instrumental progressive rock band instead, but when you category includes Mogwai, Tortoise, and Sigur Ros competition to be the best in the small genre is pretty fierce. Warren Ellis’s violin is so diverse in it’s sound and range you don’t…

Record of the Day - 5-11-2020 - Anathema - Distant Satellites
Record of the Day - 5-11-2020 - Anathema - Distant Satellites #anathema #distantsatellites #weathersystems #progrock #progessiverock #music #kscope
I listened to the record Distant Satellites by Anathema many times in 2014. I also listened to 2012’s Weather Systems almost as much that year, but Distant Satellites gets the edge for most played I think. I am not sure how to describe the music Anathema makes. It is definitely progressive rock, but there is a very romantic melancholy easy listening element to it also. The music is emotional,…

Mom
Mom #poem #poetry #mothersday #mom #mothers
She wore a bonnet of significant bees
A fleece of fantastic fleas
She knew black beans and pintos
From her lentils and her peas
She didn’t walk on water
But she glided over nails
Which were strewn across the floor
From rusty timeworn pails
She loved the smell of smoke
But disdained the smell of cinder
She met your father Satan
On Demon and Devil tinder Tinder
You told her happy mother’s day

About the Name
A number of years ago at Barley’s Taproom in Asheville, North Carolina I was talking to a man at the bar. His wife quietly interrupted him and said, “Why are you talking to that Bearded Riff Raff, we are from NEW JERSEY.” I couldn’t deny it, I am the Bearded Riff Raff and I am not from NEW JERSEY. I decided to own it. Bottoms up! Here’s to the Bearded Riff Raff!

Jump Cuts Like Godard
Jump Cuts Like Godard #JeanLucGodard #AlfredHitchcoc #RobertAltman #MartinScorsese #ClaudeLanzmann #poem #poetry
Jump cuts
Like Godard
On the evening news
Your attention is
The one thing
They can’t afford to lose
Stories like Hitchcock
Winding up and down
Twisted stairs
People searching
For secrets and motives
That aren’t really there
Sounds like Altman
Bleeding one into another
Cutting in and out
People trying to discern
Truths they whisper
From lies they shout
Faith like Scorsese
Still present, but

The Monkey Sees God in Bananas
The Monkey Sees God in Bananas #faith #religion #god #poem #poetry #zealotry
The monkey sees God in bananas
The tiger sees the divine in his claws
The crow sees God in the worms of the morning
As he cackles, preens, and craws
Man sees God in the unseen
The preacher sees the divine in his words
The zealot sees it in the crowds that gather before him
As he guides them like an unthinking herd
Let your eyes be your faith and your heart
Let your ears hear the sounds of the…

Everyone Thinks
Everyone always thinks
The other side stinks
And they feel entitled
That which was not earned
With Nero’s curse we are riddled
Dancing to the sound of the fiddle
Never broaching the middle
Whilst we burn

This is Not a Blog Post
This is Not a Blog Post
There was a book a number of years ago written by David Markson titled This Is Not A Novel. I loved it. There was no plot or characters or conflicts or resolutions, but it was extremely compelling. It was more about the strands of thought of the mind and the corridors it goes down and how what we read and see and hear reflect back on us as version of a story itself. Random facts, last words,…

Stay a Little Longer
Stay a Little Longer

Stay all night, stay a little longer
Dance all night, dance a little longer
Pull off your coat throw it in the corner
Don’t see why you don’t stay a little longer
Even the mountain is not free
Battered and bruised by both water and winds
You have not seen all there is to see
Despite your mind claiming it knows how the story ends
Stay all night,…
