shoutouts to andy cirzan and dj BC

ten little spider holes

1.

Ground to represent the spider and the aim is as many behind. Catching
Trapdoor Spider, you make a blanket, escape from trouble
burrow or it will drive a relatively cool summer.

Play whenever you make a blanket hold
which hopefully is to hold those with little knowledge

Spider heard her hit, is in the backglass.

The spider presence on wake up a shove — Ai!
the bummin' for nylons presence of the middle of the justice we'll get
cracked the guerrilla axis zone.

10.

out, shooting. But the hole a spider relatively dejected.
Mána the American spider hole grab prey animals out
on Navajo women have her shove scarce
enough to hold a crouch
You'll be bummin', for cigarettes must leave in the hole

No trap door was screaming in a hole somewhere to represent the spider hole,
if you do that, hide out shooting and hole in charge, him

She takes mirror down
into the spider side of small cornstalk. shivering
'Cause you'll be.

the Spy . . . Stalker concordance

Here's all three of those .mp3 footnotes from "A Spy in the House of Love or Stalker on the Street Where You Live" as one file.

Whereas each of the footnotes fails to stand on its own, I feel that all of them together work as one piece (though it may be both a little bit hard to listen to and a little bit hard to not listen to).

Also, speaking as a person who is reminded of a song in almost every situation, this file gives a pretty good, if somewhat potently condensed, sense of what it is like to be subject to a constant associative internal monologue exhibiting such a characteristic.

I hope you, Dear Reader, enjoy it.

peace go with you, brother

In memoriam, Gil Scott-Heron (1949 - 2011)

Speaking of the music of dead and dying stars, eh?

In all seriousness, an (-other) exceptional and exceptionally influential songwriter and visionary revolutionary consciousness has passed on. Better journalists and eulogists than myself will write comprehensive summaries of his life, works and struggles, and their meaning --

(aside: expect good coverage from Democracy Now!, perhaps Tuesday, on the order of their -- or was it Pacifica's? -- coverage of Max Roach's funeral; bitter parallel aside: also expect a perfectly ordinary bio-pic in the mid-term future, and perfectly ordinary merchandising of the back catalog, too. . . . sorry.)

-- and sing elegies, respectively.
