48 days...

(09/14/2004; 12:06am) - John Coltrane - "Mr P.C."
The take that made it to the Giant Steps album just might be one of the greatest jazz songs ever written. Coltrane's tenor sax is all over the (rapid, and at times one might say the predecessor of jungle) beat - in front, behind, on top of. He sails and darts, and his soloing, along with those of Paul Chambers (bass), Art Taylor (drums), and Tommy Flanagan (piano), are truly The Right Stuff. Check it out, along with the rest of the album, next time you're in a record shop.

(09/13/2004; 01:05am) - Having consigned...
...most of my life to green boxes
packed in Shanghai and handed,
held together with white plastic,
to men wearing teal uniforms,
who promise me boats for my personal
ambitions of ocean-crossing,
i have remarkably few things.
Or nothing...

If anyone is willing to hire me to do nothing at say 35k+ a year send me a private message. It seems that my dept is saddled with dynamite and on a collision course with a concrete wall.
kaboom anyone?

The world keeps getting smaller and smaller.
until something breaks
and the heels of progress dig in and we're back in the past.

It's been a busy past few days here at meLougne. Wil has forged another link in the chain, and Elliott has told us about Monkey Mountain and the Earthquake Cherry. If that doesn't sound like a good time, you don't know what fun is. He's been riding his bicycle in typhoons too.
Typhoons.

(09/06/2004; 01:02pm) - and in the quiet morning...
Back in LA after a brief sprint to
San Diego, a city i'd never seen,
and a bunch of friends who live near the beach.
Good weather, little traffic, and
a bit of absurdity.
Just what this holiday needs.
Now? Kev's south, so i'll take north.

(09/02/2004; 09:42am) - one foot in the grave
it's not that i die tommorow, it's just that tommorow i have a good view of the open abyss that is death. i mean 25!! that's almost 30. Once you're 30 it's a just a wild downhill tobagan ride til you're crapping yourself in an old folks home. maybe if i get drunk i won't notice.
and the worst part is that i see the reaper. ol' bony sitting in the bleachers, with a go team pendant. but whose team is he one.
Fucking 25

Today, more than 20 activist groups will answer a call to action at various locations around Manhattan. Events planned include nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action as a means to demonstrate against the Bush administration and the Republican National Convention. No matter how the media shapes events, they will be open forums for debate, stages for street theatre, a voice for the silenced.
