Daily fragments
I’m a failed musician. I’ve come to terms that I may never write a ‘complete’ song having absorbed John Cage’s thoughts on music/sound. Here are some of those fragments now. Enjoy (or not).
Influences : Tom Waits, John Cage, Fugazi, Gang of Four, Electrelane, Crass.

cryptozoology
The talent to be found @ Lincoln High School is quite astonishing. This done with whiteout, black construction paper, black & red pen. Now when you overhear an artist mentioning not having any money to express themselves, you can show them this and show them they are full of shit.
Diatribe end.

Ἀταραξία
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent.
Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent.
Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?– Epicurus

right now i really love girl in a coma… they’re from san antonio and have a sound of their own… might not be too punk, but they have substance. last album was inspired by their grandfather’s tejano band.
check ‘em out

Hmmm…. I gave Girl In A Coma a listen and I was sadly underwhelmed. Nothing new or interesting. And their crazy merchandising is rather nauseating.

Duty of work, originally uploaded by un día sin chile es como un día sin sol.
Inspired by a philosophy paper I’ve been working on. Subject being the self, and the ethical cultivation of the self in the face of nothingness.

watch it now!
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs performing “Wooly Bully” ; one of my ALL-TIME favorite songs. First heard it as a kid in the opening scenes of Splash. Turns out the lead singer is a Chicano from Dallas, Texas thus explaining the iconic count-off of:
“Uno-dos! one-two-tres-quatro!“
And I think we can figure out what “Wooly Bully” means
.More oldies I love after the jump:

I love the sound of the organ in the beginning of Wooly Bully. Nothing complex but the sound is hugeeeee. Ha! I also love how his voice cracks, real shiiaat right there. Rosetta Tharpe played some smooth riffs. Had some vinyl of hers come my way for free! Too bad my record player is busted
Good jams though. There’s a comp called Pachuco Soul: Sounds of East LA out there. Pretty cool comp, been trying to get my hands on the vinyl version.
