This big dark sound can only come from places where big darkness can exist; cold industrial expanse of the Midwest. The often ignored cesspool of innovation. My Golden Mask cooks up some gypsum warehouse  aesthetics that out echos any straight sub genre; like the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s more punk younger sister who still eats meat.

If Punk had been more honest, it would have hated itself. But that Post-Modern Garage Rock did it instead. We will commodify your dissent, and sell it back to you. NOthing you can do will escape the machine. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Some might be wondering where we are lately. So, Let me tell you. 1999 died a gasping flagrant foul death rattle as P.tone narrowly avoided a high speed head on multi-car collision and an 18 wheeler, but still rolled his jeep at about 70 mph on the hwy (sans seatbelt). Like all assholes that deserve what they have coming, his shit was wrecked. However, he managed to walk away from certain death with just an invisible bruise, doing that thing that you see in movies but think to yourself… yeah right!. Although apparently not shaken, he is as usual, stirred. In addition to car wrecks, Dj gigs, snowboarding, and over exertion… so far 2010 doesn’t look like it makes any more sense to him than 2009 did. I expect he will be back sometime soon, in some sense, probably making us gag with philosophical ramblings and cockeyed diatribe.

I on the other hand just didn’t give a shit enough to post. I did however sit around eating rum balls the neighbor dog dropped, and watching the carnival ride going on in our house. But every new start, imaginary or real, deserves a good christening. So may this cycle be your renewing; heres to our adventure.

Here it is. Year end review revival. The best of the best? Not really. The best songs of the year? Nah. The best songs since Mr.T & Hulk Hogan in Wrestlemania? Comeon. We’re not cool advocaters  around here, so chances are these songs aren’t cool either. Only the ones I’ve particularly enjoyed and that didn’t burn like toxic plastic when I put them in my mouth. Plus, we need breaks too. Actually…Yeah, these are the songs that warm the basement up. Just kidding, thats nuclear fission.  Merry Christmas… Take it or leave it.

I don’t get to post as much jazz as I’d like around here, mostly becasue P.tone doesn’t let me. He always mutters something about it being inaccessible to a majority of people. As typically we disagree, on this point I actually concur.  Everyone wants to like jazz becasue jazz is cool, cool vibe, cool atmosphere, cool aesthetic, but liking it and actually listening to it are completely different.

But since that lamer is gone, and he’s always the first to break his own rules, I’ll do as I please. Chet Baker for some christmas snow slow travels.

Being is. And what being isn’t? What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Continue… I hate when he leaves me instructions. I’ll burn his disco house down.

Being (almost) christmas, P.tone has left me in charge. So some flavor of the ways, I’m delivering from the unfailing good that is known as P.tone’s Heat and Wheat folder. Calm down. Put your headphones on. Know that it’s you. It’s always you. Like deep rooted vegetation (not vegetable pizza), the progress may not always bee seen on the surface; it is there.

Every decision is like jumping off a cliff, we move through an ether of potential states of being, constructed around our observation. How many layers of tints of observation have we been taught to see through, how many tints are our own construction, how many have we put up in self denial, how many tints in self defense. Who are we without our barriers, and how easily could we make decisions, move forward, if we understood that spiritual self.
