“And Helen says, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Posted: February 7th, 2010

Just whatever she wants it to mean, I say. She’s the one pulling the strings here. She’s the one planting her little seeds. Colonizing me. Occupying me. The mass media, the culture, everything laying its eggs under my skin. Big Brother filling me with need.


Do I really want a big house, a fast car, a thousand beautiful sex partners? Do I really want these things? Or am I trained to want them?

Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now? Am I just under a spell that says nothing is ever good enough?

The gray in the mirror is mixing, swirling, it could be anything. No matter what the future holds, ultimately it will be a disappointment.”

i just finished lullaby. i suggest you all give it a twirl

“we’re killing people to save lives?

Posted: February 6th, 2010

We’re burning books to save books?
I ask, ‘what is this trip turning into?
‘What it’s always been,’ Oyster says, threading some hair through an I Ching coin. ‘It’s a big power grab’.

oh, i actually read an e-mail

Posted: February 4th, 2010

a nice person contacted me from the gold robot label (they released the album of the guy who did the lightness cover). well, apparently the oakland based outfit has them a solid roster. he sent me over their free mixtape and it’s got some good stuff on it. it’s working wonders while i take care of business at a coffee shop on this cloudy day. haven’t got through the whole thing yet because i got stuck on this song.
