As this hand makes typing sounds the sounds that are "typing" are typing to the brooding joys of the Danger Mouse Sparklehorse collaboration. The new music was to be accompanied by a book of photos taken by David Lynch. Maybe? maybe not? O the legal hassles, & O the crestfallen. The songs on Dark Night of the Soul were written by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse, but feature a different singer on each track.

a poem by Chris Nealon:

(I know prose ... )

I know prose is a mighty instrument but still I feel that plein-air lyric need
to capture horses moving

Surplus of capital; economy tanks; you get called a faggot more

On red seats all around me children learn abstraction and heckle each
other in affordable new media

“This cold world we’re in is full of fresh champagne”

Un snack sólo para mi

When I was a child I thought, In Homeric fashion I will speak to each of
you in turn while laying you low

Now I stick to fragments transmissible, perdurable and the
crossword beauty you can make from them

To all the young Apollos: I’m aiming for the intersection of your swagger
and your ashes

Not that I don’t get it: looking eagerly offends the lords of scarcity

But check those dactyls, fabulous

It’s just too hard to live as though there weren’t some other kind of
surplus

To the masters of prose: Greetings!

I will die before I worship your god

this is what you want, that is what you get

2009-04-09T22:03:00.005-04:00

PINK MOUNTAINTOPS new album, Outside Love (05/05/09) on

Jason Lytle's "Yours Truly, The Commuter" (the song) is up on iTunes. the album is forthcoming. yes, orchestration.......

is it true as it has been rumored that I am currently on recess, retreat, escape, leave and break? Without a doubt. Maybe I'll make a dent in D.F.W.'s Infinite Jest. Decrease the amount of alcohol available to me in my apt. Tease people who include their middle name in their pen name.

this afternoon into evening

1) "I've thought how strange it is that people believe they know someone from reading their work, as if to know a fin is to know a shark, for indeed that is not a fin of a shark at all though it is a reproduction shark fin strapped on a boy's back and the boy with the reproduction fin does very much want to be a shark, wishes it a great deal, dreams some nights of being a shark in a great fleet of shark in some unexplored sea where sharks are in fleets and somewhat even more powerful that the sharks of the daytime world, say have shark banks full of money and minnows." Anne Boyer

2) pj harvey

3) joseph ceravolo. READING April 11, 2008 10:00 pm. The Poetry Project at St. Marks Church presents Spring in This World of Poor Mutts: A Reading for Joe Ceravolo.

album of the weeks:

here my dear, recorded by marvin gaye for tamla records in 1978 to generally dismal sales (it flopped) in comaprison to his earlier work, is a human chronicle of pain, the break-up kind. court-ordered to hand over the cashola (alimony) from the sales of h.m.d as well as a cut of the next record to his x anna (sister of berry gordy, owner of motown records), marvin gaye stripped bare in a confessional double album that finds his three-octave-vocal range inhabit, ransom and possess songs that are at the same time bitter and naked, belligerent and tender, churlish and reflective, ireful and seductive, petulant and pleading, sarcastic and threatening. even the album art work suggests as much.......................check it out.

last night was a reading at the stain bar hosted by Amy King & Ana Božičević. regrettably i was unable to stay beyond the first three redaers, but i did catch tony mancus. tony's poems are now experimenting with tone, moving from a romantic quasi-confessional lyric to a ashbery-inspired attention to a thought's movement. or it could not be like that at all. check his poems out.

What is great?

1) There's snow on them thar Alps! It's a great day for skiing!
2) Great job on your presentation, Woodrow!
3) Aw man, this goulash is great! You gotta try it, Eleanor!
4) Oh, be sure to watch the bonus materials; they got some great outtakes!
5) Great Scot, is that the reanimated corpse of Richard Nixon, come to eat our brains?!
6) Say, I've got a great idea for a new invention, but who will help me fund it?!
7) Mmm...this sliced bread is the greatest thing since...OH MY GOD. IT'S THE GREATEST THING EVER.

happy birthday, morgan lucas. it is also H.R. 's (Bad Brains) birthday (good company).

if jamie stewart/xiu xiu is the just the right electric guitar, bird call whistles and a stylophone (a late 60s toy synth that one plays with a pen), then take a looksee here below.

a subscription series that Stewart will offer via the Xiu Xiu website. ambient, experimental, and minimalist works will be yours for a $100. Stewart will send you one CD per month for a year. He'll hand-number every one of these discs, hand-wrap them in felt and yarn, and stick a different leaf under the tray of each CD. This subscription even comes with a "deluxe edition": For an extra $10, he'll throw in an additional disc and some of that homemade chocolate. But he's only selling 50 of these subscriptions.

for you, because i am concerned. you don't sound soo good. the gift is a poem by mr shinoda and ms browning:

The Blowing Versa (II Fucking Space)

India stepped out

The parking lot was long and cold

She pulled a shotgun from her purse

Listeria in the lights

Your name flashing
I take out the trash. Encephalic
men flipping meat, clowns
on the weenie wheel

You are damn

Enormous and I

am small. Inside your inhalant arias

conjoin, then separate. This the pattern

Browning, the casino
wolves buckled into the ship, shedding into the wind

Deep echoes, splinters
I sleep in the rain, over the covers

In me, warm goo
Final likenesses mopped. Children in case

Monkeys, urchins, elephantastic

Tell my story backwards, legging
the edges when middles
Midwives elevating the chimney. Saturn is fucking

I have not seen since Hawaii

Infinity of circles
stacked atop varnished wood. A soldier’s wonder
and coincidence

I sink seawater into a pitcher of Bud Light
Hegemony, the way I pronounce it
makes money. Big building

Dropped by aliens
Lanes I will see you

brrrrrrrrrrrrr, its chilly again.

some teachers were talking today about layoffs. our school will let some teachers go. don't know when or which. for those young in the system, it is a nervous time.

"In Albany, the deficit for the upcoming fiscal year has reached more than $15 billion and grows by $60 million every day. State workers face layoffs, salary deferrals and benefit cuts.

New York City entered the recession later, but the deterioration has been so rapid that the mayor ended the property tax cut six months early, made mid-year cuts to agency budgets including the Department of Education and modified the financial plan two months ahead of time. A budget gap of $4.3 billion (10 percent of city revenues) is expected for the next fiscal year, and that will grow to nearly $7 billion -- almost 16 percent of city revenue -- in 2011.

Between the city and state, education is slated for more than $1.5 billion in cutbacks, which will translate to reductions in individual school budgets of 8 to 12 percent."

EVERY NIGHT (CD/LP)
Polyvinyl Records, September 14, 2004

The ‘difficult’ third album, recorded during the harsh, wintery end of 2003 by Warn DeFever and Fred at Brown Rice Studio when it was above C Pop in Detroit. The LP and CD have the same songs, but some of them are different versions, mixes, vocal takes, vocalists, etc. Everyone asks “Which version is better?” and it just depends. The vinyl version was made to be more scrappy and rough around the sonic edges. The CD version is a bit more subdued.

Since You Stole My Heart
Until The World Stops Spinning
Keep Walking
All Over Town
The Girl's Distracted

Empty Room

ALL YOUR SUMMER SONGS (CD/LP)
Polyvinyl Records, March 18, 2003

A patchwork of recordings made in transit across the United States over a two year period from 2000-2002, this album was meticulously arranged and produced, and still stands as a one of our most beautiful, glowing offerings to the world.

The vinyl version was originally pressed with different cover art on clear wax in an edition of 1,100. Later it was re-released with the same artwork as the CD, this time on 180 gram vinyl, and the first 500 came with a bonus 7” of “Christmas Blues” and “Will U Still?”. All versions of the vinyl had two bonus songs not on the CD, “Can’t Ever Sleep” and “Light Bulb Heart”.

SATURDAY LOOKS GOOD TO ME (CD)
Ypsilanti Records, Feb 2, 2002

This CD re-issued the original self-titled LP, included some songs from the "Cruel August Moon" CDR and a couple extra, newer songs. Some song titles were changed to eliminate the poorly conceived "First-Person" concept that ran throughout the LP.

Ambulance
I Wish I Could Cry

A Feminine Ending/MARK YAKICH

The body of work had such a limerick kind of beauty,
a way of making friendship satisfactory.
One time, with a piece of seaweed that the body
of work had worn as a cummerbund to the prom,
I saw it walking in Central Park with five dogs
on leashes. I knew my sister would have been envious,
amid all of autumn's leaves, so
I didn't bother to say "Hi there, deary."
After dinner, I mostly lay in my bed, like Gogol,
and wrote about the body of work. Expressive,
like the dirt-filled fingernails of my sailor's
wave, I soon grew breasts, sores on my belly.
I needed to cathect my childhood urges
on a new object. But before I had
chance to find a new body of work,
I had some chores to do. In the stable,
I fell through a crack and a horse
sneezed back at me, "Stay in Hollywood a little longer,
Madam Schwitters, you'll be able to act soon.
I mean, look at me, I've not gotten close
enough to find out whether the war
in Europe and those cute little tin can finger
sandwiches can sustain life. Besides, Lady
Godiva ate her horse, which wasn't made of
white chocolate and, I'll have you know,
she didn't even have to chase it."

AND IT IS HERE AGAIN, ENJOY.
