The Floating World
Written for a girl I was in love with, a long time ago. FLOATING WORLD The others are sleeping now, Cold as comfort in their Eddie Bauer blankets And the loft at the top of the honest Yankee cabin Where Bowery mothers come to tan their ankles in mountain sun And kiss the air that […]
Ice Age Coming
More poetry. I thought this one was lost…I always liked this. I love Radiohead. Ice Age Coming Somewhere alongside the freeway It is possible to hear birds outside your car window Thick, soot-covered birds Cackling in Ornette Coleman harmony As they perch on plastic buildings As they perch on the antennae Of the rooftops that […]
Rain Coast
Did I mention I used to write poetry? Rain Coast Prelude. See where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament Bright curtains for a boy to slide down, Great masts to support the world where it has grown a little antique. I. The father is out of his mind, And has been thus since the cannons […]
Untitled Poem
Found this in my Documents folder. I have no memory of writing this. The sound of the horn and the drum Keeps us all awake into the night. They are praying to gods we do not understand. But there is solace in the heat and the sand And the breaking of bones that should have […]
Nine Inch Nails is now a free agent
Nine Inch Nails ends contracts I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label.
Loud-Ass Guitars
Because you said we didn’t rock: a thirty second snippet of the new version of “When You Get Here”. (Notice the resemblance to Jesus & Mary Chain, MBV, Sigur Ros, et al.)
On A Side Note…
I got my free eMusic downloads, and you know what eMusic is fuckin’ awesome for? Old ass blues. I’m currently listening to, and enjoying the hell out of, Junior Wells (thanks for playing him in the car, Thom) and Skip James, who is my motherfucker. And if I can ever get off of this here […]
Talib Kweli – Ear Drum
In direct counterpoint to Kanye’s humdrum Graduation, Talib Kweli’s newest album, Ear Drum, is intelligent and way groovier. Better flow, better beats, better everything. Go buy it.
Kanye West – Graduation
Got this, listened to it. Aside from a couple of high points, it’s basically a snore-fest. Lazy lyrics, boring flow, and the best things about it are the people he brought in to help him. Where does this guy’s rep as a major talent come from? Give me Mos Def, Talib Kweli and (Kanye’s fellow […]
