I once argued that this was the greatest Pop song ever written. I was committed to this position, so it was convincing just on the basises of my conviction. I was wrong. but I still love it. totally love it, the swells, the contrasts, the duet harmony, the piano, the explosions of sound the wind effects. To me it sounds like the end of an era of music. They never made a song like this again. It's like what '18 and Life' was to hair metal, Grunge and Alt took the metal heads away. Nirvana was the executioners axe to metal, GnR hold bearly hold it together against them. the truth was GnR was a great metal band but nirvana was better music. sorry wife beater your out. Jane's Addiction has you beat... anyway this song has something seventies in it's production that was past its prime so kind of hits a softspot with me. Like fistful of wilted daisies or Arriving muddy and late to the prom. Like the perfect sad faced clown of pop music.
me like.
(I can't believe they use sleighbells!)
Today's Song of the Day is "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler off her 1982 album "Faster Than the Speed of Night."
Crazy Fact: Nodules on her vocal cords prevented her from singing full time until 1976, when she underwent an operation to have them removed. The surgery left her with a fucking cool, raspy, husky voice.

Justice.
I couldn't imagine being strapped down to a table in front of a dozen people and killed in front of there eyes. I couldn't handle knowing someone payed 150 bucks to be the guy to do it. The fact that the state is doing it would be surreal. but the idea that I was innocent yet stood convicted and put to death for the murder of my own children would be...I am at a lost for words.
wow. texas might be the worst place in north america.
Today's Song of the Day is "Requiem: i. introditus" Performed by Herbert Von Karajan & The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Agnes Baltsa, Werner Krenn, José van Dam, Wiener Signverein, Recorded in 1976, Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Listen buddy, it's about the Music.
The most beautiful song I've heard in a while.
Passing Afternoon by Iron and Wine
There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms
There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from the piles of fallen leaves
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children until she let's them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds
There are things we can't recall, Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
Today's Song of the Day is "Passing Afternoon" by Iron And Wine off there 2004 album "Our Endless Numbered Days."
Crazy Fact: Iron and Wine is the stage name for one Samuel Beam, a Florida native that made his name by releasing lo-fi tapes in miami.

At Night.
'Is Sarah Calling the Police?'
'Yes.'
'Fuck.'
'I think he is moving, I saw him moving.'
'Fuck.'
'Tell them there mugging him now.'
'Jesus.'
'Jesus.'
When I got to him he was breathing.
He was lying flat on his back. naked from the waist up. his bloody shirt was a few feet away. He face was swollen... badly swollen all over. I asked his name. he didn't repond. His face was covered in blood in varying degrees of drying or bleeding there was a puddle of blood on the pavement, bigger then anything I'd ever seen.
I looked down the street and waved down a police car coming around the corner. The Police Officer asked him his name. I saw the ambulance down the street I waved them over. She asked me more questions, maybe it's a generational thing but giving the police personal information makes me nervous. Authority is not to be trusted. Esspecially not at face value. But this guy was bleeding everwhere and I saw almost everything.
the ambulance guys asked me what happened, so they got out the neck brace and the stretcher, I was relieved they got his name out of him. 'ok ricky we are going to get this brace on you. ready?'
man if I was lying there... jesus.
She said someone would be by to talk to me later so I went back in the bar and waited.
I thought about breaking the law. We do it all the time. Not just jay walking either. I was with a guy earlier than night buying drugs. I know of at least two people who drove under the influence. I saw at least four joints sparked up. I ripped off the ferry by 25 cents. I was definitely publicly intoxicated. And it's not the first time for any of this stuff. It makes you wonder if anyone gets caught ever, and if they do.... If you happen to be the sucker that's in the wrong place at the wrong time and you get arrested then you only go to jail if you don't have the money to get away with it. (OJ you killed the mother of your children.) So Jails are filled with those not just unlucky or just poor, but only if you are Poor AND Unlucky. Just like monopoly.
I still remember the look on the guys face as he walked by me, fear masked in agression. Fear held static by fists clenched. Eyes looking at me through the glass unsure but ready. Jaw clenched, body stiff with rage. Not ready to ask questions, but ready to answer in anyone in raw agression. He was acting as his own Bodyguard, under the orders of fear. He walked at a quick pace, away.
Hey, they want to talk to you again...
'Are you willing to fill out a sworn statement?'
'Sure.'
Wow cop vision makes me aware of how drunk I am jesus.
'ok well There were two groups of guys arguing a group of two and of four over there on the corner. The bigger group started running the smaller group gave chase. I got the fuck...er I got out of the way. I came in here. When I looked back out there was a man lying face down on the ground, not moving, arms by his side, I thought he was dead and then the other man was kicking him in the head repeatedly. His head was like a coconut in a potato sack. It was fucking awful. He was just lying there not moving and the guy was taking steps back to wind up for huge kicks at his head. I checked that Sarah was calling the cops, she was I gave her an update. They took his wallet and his jacket and his shirt. I went out and everyone was gone accept the guy on the ground lying on his back not moving. I could hear him gurgling so I knew he was alive, he face was a mess. Then you guys showed up.'
'Well the hospital says he is ok.'
'Good good.'
It was dawn by the time we started home.
Today's Song of the Day is "Requiem For Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs & Orchestra" composed by Gyorgy Ligeti, Conducted by Francis Travis from the 1968 album "2001: A Space Odyssey Original Motion Picture Soundtrack."

On My Return
I went up the back stairs palms sweaty. I didn't know what to think. She had become a memory and an abstraction in the Ten Days I've been away transforming my mind in Europe. I knew that would happen, the transformation I mean, and I worried this sweaty palm thing into existence somewhere over the Atlantic.
In England, I pictured seeing her again, many times in my head and in the plane and the airport and in the other plane and in the other airport and in the car and at home and then in the car again and when walking down the street and now going up the stairs. Everytime I ran through it it was a little different. I thought that 8 hour flight was long... jeezus how many fucking stairs are on this stair case, too many and not enough.
What if I was crazy? What if it's nothing. It's a bag of hot air puffed by hope soon to be slowly deflating with the high pitched whine of dissapointment. God what if it's not what if this is one of the 'big ones.' jeesus. I've been getting used to the the dissappointing kind for a while now, maybe I'd perfer it was one of those. I think I could handle that. Disappointment requires very little commitment. But worse still what if she's THE big one. I'm getting old enough to hit THE big one. terrifyingly promising. This thought is too big to fit in my head, so let's hose it down, cool it off and stick it up in the clouds somewhere beside the winning 649 ticket.
Reconnecting is strange. There is a tightness in your chest that releases, there is a opening somewhere in your gut and a rising up of something and then a warmth. it's really something. You can only feel it after a real distance and with a mutual desire to reconnect. It's been a while since I've cooked up those ingredients. if you think it smells good, well shit you should try it, deee-licious.
We were at the rock show, The Weakerthans. It was really good. So was the band, but I could see the music in her body in her fist and her smile and her neck and on her lips. It was on her skin, it was rewarding. Her eyes flashed with it. IT was encouraging. I wasn't crazy, and more... it keeps coming. All that I saw before was still there, Paris didn't take it away, nor did my fear and even better, more, there's more she's still happening. Not frozen in my mind like she was but I could take her off pause and see more. I forgot about that. She'd spent so much time on pause in an emotional statis. I was half expecting to come back to judge what I'd already seen, but I didn't get a chance. She was still happening. I can get so stuck in my head sometimes.
Fear is frozen in time. It's a moment of fear, the fear is the cresendo of an awful turn of imagined events. It a bottle neck in a path. The squeeze on a choice. Fear is trying to help, but you have to try to make sure it doesn't squeeze the life out of you, you can't let it get too strong, you gotta take it on every now and then, or that imaginary fucker'll kick the crap out of your choices. haHA! I am Zorro!
Today's Song of the Day is "Left And Leaving" by The Weakerthans off there 2000 album "Left And Leaving."
Crazy Fact: The Weakerthans took their name from a line from the film adaptation of Marguerite Duras' The Lover: "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine."

Think Old
Conservatives are idiots. Whether it's the new pope, who according to the New York Times is "John Paul II, without the imagination' (wow. a new low, I didn't know it was possible. I thought the same of George Bush though and then they voted him in again. double wow.) or our own king idiot the next Prime Minister of Canada Preston Stockwell Steven Harper III, there's the zit on the longest list of dumbasses in Canadian history, an ass that is going to take a shit on civil rights faster than you can say 'vote of non-confidence.' Even then Offical Canadian Jackass Brian Mulroney, let we forget, would only take our money not our rights. Take the worst of both camps and form a new sub-creature of stupidity. I would say he'll never win, but I said the same thing about George Bush.
Remember the Spanish Revolution, comrades.
Today's Song of the Day is "Fight for Your Right" by the Beastie Boys off there 1986 debut "License to Ill"
Crazy Fact: I still can't believe they toured with Madonna on her Like A Prayer Tour... Jesus. Whose bright idea?

Eat Sleep Man Woman
While in Florida watching Spongebob on Nickelodeon I learned a little something my girlfriend prooved to me in bed. I'm not sure that sentence works but WHATEVA... I fart a lot. When your in bed you fart, you take a sniff make sure all is well down there and hit the snooze bar. Add a girlfriend and it's a little different... insert fear between fart and sniff and keep the fear cranked until you are sure it's bad. Then sheepishly murmer:
P: I farted and I'm sorry, it's bad, quite bad. Sorry.
S: I'm sure it not tha -GOOD LORD!
P: but it was SOO littLE! I had NO IDEA...
S: Jesus SAVE ME!
P: Yeah... it's bad. The thing is you don't want to breath through you nose 'cause of the smell and if you breathe through your mouth... well then you are tasting air that came out of my ass... even if you can't taste it...
S: (stunned pause) GROSS!!
P: Sometimes they're quiet and DON'T STINK I can't figure it..
S: Dude, you fart ALOT!
P: Really?
S: really.
As I lied there I remembered something I saw in between episodes of Spongebob. If you eat Meat your farts smell really bad and are small and if you eat vegitables you have a lot to fart but they don't REALLY smell. I think it's only Fair to the Girlfriend that I become a Vegitarian.
Today's Song of the Day is "Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas" by Bud Powell off his 1953 compliation "The Best Of Bud Powell."
Crazy Fact: In a racial incident, he was beaten on the head by police; Powell never fully recovered and would suffer from bad headaches and mental breakdowns throughout the remainder of his life.

Your, like, Ten!
Romeo and Juliet were like 13 years old. That's the joke. That's the Joke that no one really gets. When you were 13 you fell in love with the love of your life on a weekly basis, passionately, with all your soul, how could you not. You've only knows like 2 years of sexual awareness and like 10 years of life. It's amazing. Life is still happening to you for the first time and This 'love' thing is so new and intense, it's immpossible not to feel it as much as your little hormnoally flooded body is capable. I've never been so in love in my whole life, oh and look I've started growing pubes.
It's not like you gone through years of romantic disappointment, it's still in it's purest form untainted by fear.
If Romeo saw juliet's dirty underwear and barbie doll collection she might have become a little less cool, a little less on the star-crossed love side of things.
Juliet: And then I went to Saks with beth and portia and... well anyway and this yellow skirt and you would have loved it, I almost got it, but, you were with mercuicio and I think you should shop with us again it was SOOO much fun... Oh Romeo, Romeo.
Romeo: yeah, I ment to bring this up yesterday but...
Juliet: my love you know you can tell me ANYTHING, please tell me your hearts...
Romeo: Actually Juliet, I think I gotta go. There is this girl in science class that has these really cool jeans. And those braces of yours are really smelly. anyway I asked her out.
Juliet: You suck! I hate you! I hate boys! I hate everything. get out GET OUT!
Romeo: What? You're freaking out! what's the problem? jeeze ok pycho.
Juliet: oh heavy day!
Romeo: Catch you on the flip-side, baby!
Juliet: I hate you. I hope you die. Dad was right monteques SUCK! my dad's gonna kick your dad's ASS.
Romeo: Whatever. Later.
Juliet: I have to go shopping.
Today's Song of the Day is "Thirteen" by Big Star off their 1972 debut album "No. 1 Album."

The bad mood goes WAAAY the fuck back. At least as old as emotion itself. I got a scoop of that this day. It's predictable. It's your garden variety 'up all not doing a paper' kind of bad mood. The worst is that when your done and you say, 'that's a piece of shit.' At least when I put in all the effort procrastinating, I like to have something I threw together at the last minute I can be proud of. Not this time. Cracks in it the size of the Grand Canyon. I'm having that expectation adjustment limbo. How looow can I gooo?
I hope I don't fall down. In this course it would just be embarrassing. This course is so lame I'd rather change my major than take it again. The worst part is I wish I was joking. If this course was Hobbiton and I, a Hobbit, I'd give Sauron the one Ring if he promised to wipe it out and make me an Orc. If I fail this course, it's like I'm at the 111 birthday party of Bilbo Baggins unable to get a drink, truly, outside the realm of natural law, challenging gravity itself. Nonetheless, here I am drinkless, almost floating, limboing low, willing myself into an Orc. I'll tell how it goes.
Today's Song of the Day is "Sympathy For The Devi" by The Rolling Stones off there 1968 Album "Beggars Banquet."
Crazy Fact: As reported on the CBC, the City of Moncton is trying to get the Rolling Stones to headline their Canada Day festivities. (celery says this is going to happen right after barbara streisand sings "people who need people" at the micmac friendship centre on gottingen street)

Lucky to be in Nova Scotia
Went to Duncan's Cove today in the beautiful sunshine. Amazing. Made me happy to be here. There haven't been a lot of things to make me happy to be here recently. I've been having too much life-threatening amazement 'abroad.' Nonetheless, today I felt very lucky to be hiking up and down huge grantic baoliths (sp? ROCKS) next to the ocean for 3 hours. Only ever seeing 1 other couple the whole time, no houses, no people, no cars, no unnatural sounds, just a sunny cloudless sky, miles of ocean, rocks, moss and Fiver. Fucking super fucking sweet. Colour, light and air forever it was a primal sort of beauty, undisturbed natural majesty.
Canada's OK after all.
Today's Song of the Day is "Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, K.467: ii. Andante" composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785.
Crazy Fact: Before age of 20 W.A. Mozart had written nine operas, five violin concertos, at least 30 symphonies, a sheaf of divertimentos and serenades, a ream of liturgical pieces, six sonatas, and six concertos for Piano. CRazY!

I Think I Know How to Use a Semi-Colon.
School is, like, totally almost over. I'm looking forward to it. Until then I have to find less obvious ways to procrastinate, till then; publishing my procrastination is a bit much.
Today's Song of the Day is "Pride and Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble off his 1983 debut "Texas Flood."
Crazy Fact: In 1982, the band played the Montreux Festival and their performance caught the attention of David Bowie. Stevie Ray laid down the lead guitar tracks for what became Bowie's Let's Dance album in late 1982.

Now With Half the Calories!
Now when it comes to the Pope, I'm not all about the respect. I'm pretty glad he's dead. FINALLY. Hand me the living will I sign it NOW. I hope the Next Pope thinks it's Christian to prevent an entire continent from being wiped out by AIDS. If they cared about African lives as much they care about African souls maybe they'd start handing out condoms instead of condemning them. Perhaps then I could have respect, as it is, they might as be selling Pepsi, the Number on drink of the Afterlife.
I'm keeping my expectations low however. Just look at the track record.
Today's Song of the Day goes out to the Number One Guy in the Sky the Happiest Man to meet his Maker in the last 24 hours, Pope John Paul II, the Song "Better Off Without A Wife" by Tom Waits off his 1975 album "Nighthawks At The Diner."
Crazy Fact: This Crazy Cat was the First non-Italian Pope Ever. Dude! ciao baby!

The European Union at Dudes Table.
I'm terrified of my French on the Metro and their French on the bus, so I walk.
An hour and a half later. I get out of a Cab and I see a hungry Dennis, a sight unseen for 14 months. Oddly it was like yesterday, almost unnervingly so, except for the very first moment, I felt like I was meeting him at the Shoe for a Club Wrap and a Beer, except the Shoe was in Paris and an Italian restaurant and he had a girlfriend and no one spoke English. But the Dennis part was an island of familiarity in this crazy ancient fantasy world I climbed into.
Anjte (Dennis's Girlfriend) is speaking German to Mike, Italian to the Waiter, French to Jan and English to Me and throwing in a splash of Spanish for kicks and all of them to Dennis.
Pif: DUDE!
I said that a lot. Hardly English and Uber-north American. The Europeans were fascinated by my semi-coherent exclamations. I thought it was weird to Eat Italian in France, but it's as close to the real Italy as I've ever been so maybe it would be closer to real Italian food. We ate till forever. And there was much rejoicing.
Why can all these people speak all these languages? For shame North America. I felt so lame. Mostly we spoke English, which seems to be the worlds' lowest common denominator, But I wanted to carry on a conversation in one of these secret codes they all knew. I was SO NOT in there super cool European club. I felt like I might as well be an American. ick. not a good feeling.
Today's Song of the Day is "Metropolis" by Kraftwerk off their 1978 album "The Man Machine."
Crazy Fact: Rumour had it that they were robots.
