- “Rust is futuristic moss”
Two things, maybe three:
1) Words by
2)
3)“The School Robot.
They change for P.E. quickly, excitedly.
I’m more deliberate as I get ready.
I’m careful not to reveal the
three thousand wires
that run down my back.”
“We played chess for 48 hours straight.
I thought it was her move.”
- Porn Sword Tobacco
[singlepic=83,300,,,]
I bought this cd a few years ago, and can’t keep quiet about it any longer. Porn Sword Tobacco is Henrik Jonsson, from Göteborg, Sweden. He combines “Brian Eno’s ambient [sic] and the cosmic trips of Tangerine Dream and the avant-garde parsimony of Eric Satie.” ::article.
To me, it has the flavor of the works of another Swede who could be accused of Avant-garde parsimony. Both are as “chilly and forbidding” as the weather these days in Seattle.
The meat is in the textures. From the same article:
“I LOVE soft noise, for example the background noise on ‘Don’t quit your day job’ is the engine and tape spinning from my old Roland space echo. I feel free when I hear a good NOISE.”
Today’s postsong is Watts Towers from the album Explains Freedom.

- Thanksgiving Breakfast and the Light in the Triangle Apartment
[singlepic=79,300,,,]
I snapped this photo after John’s girlfriend Juliet cooked some excellent pancakes for us, before the steam settled… I’m happy to be moving out tomorrow, but I’ll miss the light in this apartment. It comes in from all sides. Some hits from over the last year:

- Today was like…
…Terry Riley’s “The Pipes Of Medb Medb’s Blues,” and the works of Erik Natzke.
Natzke is “an interactive designer who is constantly trying to blur the lines between design and technology” (see his flickr page and his blog).
Today I lived in the blur between design and technology. From what I remember between riding to work, working, riding home in the rain, there were lots of colorful lines connecting things, and lots of circles flashing, all in 2D static. Then I watched Taxi Driver, which has an urban trudging madness like the attached Terry Riley piece. I can’t explain any further.
- Stina Persson’s Watercolors
Persson says her work is about about “finding the right balance between the edgy and the elegant the raw and the beautiful.”
