The Dream passes by the window,
And Sleep by the fence.
The Dream asks Sleep:
“Where should we rest tonight?”

From there to here: Based on a thousand year old Ukrainian lullaby named ‘Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon’, in 1926 George Gerswin wrote one of the most copied songs of all time called ‘Summertime’ – (Ella does it best). In 1966 Billy Stewart put out his skatted-up heavy barn storming version of Summertime, and 40 years later it got the Guts treatment…

Where the child is small,

And rock the child to sleep.

In all grotesque irrelevant honesty, hip hop has lost its flavor to me. Maybe it was me a few ‘mes’ ago – and now it does less than grab my ears and throw my neck. Still – some of these tracks are good time music. Mood. Dood.

Of course I considered posting Mr. Kirks Nightmare, but I couldn’t find the remix that I wanted to post. However, I did find this most ridiculous Kid606 video.

For a society that would rather imagine themselves a god than an animal, it’s not understandable that they act like animals instead of gods.  Growl at the sun, bark at the moon, do what you need to do; or be brave and love.

Macbeth: Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
raze out the written troubles of the brain,
and with some sweet oblivious antidote,
cleanse the stuffed bosom of the perilous stuff,
which weighs upon the heart?
Doctor: Therein the patient must minister to himself.

nine long nights,

wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,

myself to myself,

on that tree of which no man knows

from where its roots run

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those
who really apply themselves in the right way to
philosophy are directly and of their own accord
preparing themselves for dying and death. If this
is true, and they have actually been looking
forward to death all their lives, it would of course
be absurd to be troubled when the thing comes
for which they have so long been preparing and
looking forward. – SOCRATES, PHAEDO

Its always refreshing to know that no matter how weird of a thought I have – someone else has had the same idea and written about it on the internet. Not that off shore bank accounts are weird by any means, and thats not even what I was thinking about when I wrote that first sentence; but now that I’m thinking about it, I might as well try and figure out how to shield my $22 in liquid assets from my government’s greedy spoiled-child-like entitlement.

Nothing signals the beginning of snowboard than the sweet sweet basslines of the technique ricocheting against my jeep windows and I once again become the alchemist of soup in the Royal House of Plantagenet. I don’t care if that doesn’t make any sense. Just like Corey Daye foreshadows springs arrival, Eric B & Rakim are always the harbingers of the snow season.

Educating you against your will:

He (Periander) had sent a herald to Thrasybulus and inquired in what way he would best and most safely govern his city. Thrasybulus led the man who had come from Periander outside the town, and entered into a sown field. As he walked through the corn, continually asking why the messenger had come to him from Cypselus, he kept cutting off all the tallest ears of wheat which he could see, and throwing them away, until he had destroyed the best and richest part of the crop. Then, after passing through the place and speaking no word of counsel, he sent the herald away. When the herald returned to Cypselus, Periander desired to hear what counsel he brought, but the man said that Thrasybulus had given him none. the herald added that it was a strange man to whom he had been sent, a madman and a destroyer of his own possessions, telling Periander what he had seen Thrasybulus do. Periander, however, understood what had been done, and perceived that Thrasybulus had counselled him to slay those of his townsmen who were outstanding in influence or ability; with that he began to deal with his citizens in an evil manner. – Aristotle’s Politics (Book 5, Chapter 10)

Take anything you love and make it a responsibility – eventually you wont love it like you use to (children excluded. That is biological). I’m not going to expound on that idea. If you’ve been coming here for any length of time you’ll know that I like to explore. dig. dive. dust. understand ideas and their perplexing attributes at askew angles. Maybe it’s all junk though.  I don’t know. I’m burned out on thinking about it.  And So… I’m not listening to as much music either. Again say, burned out. So posting is less frequent – I’ll post when I feel like I’ve got something to post. Hopefully It wont feel like such a responsibility.

All these songs are top notch. & Unkle’s new album is pretty darn good. Gilbert Grape.
