Pick up! It's the innanet callin'

Although it's sad to report, I have no access to the internet, accept for right now. I decided to cancel my innanet subscription to save $25 a month. This of course means that the people who rely on this blog for their total and absolute music input will now be relegated to much, much, much lesser forms of musical consumption. Watch your health. Bad jazz causes herpes and other awful shit.

I'll attempt to post some more music in the near future...

Tennyson's Memories

"A kind of waking trance I have frequently had, quite up from boyhood, when I have been all alone. This has generally come upon me thro' repeating my own name two or three times to myself silently, till all at once, as it were out of the intensity of the consciousness of individuality, the individuality itself seemed to dissolve and fade away into boundless being, and this not a confused state, but the clearest of the clearest, the surest of the surest, the weirdest of the weirdest, utterly beyond words, where death was an almost laughable impossibility, the loss of personality (if so it were) seeming no extinction but the only true life"

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Rain

A teacher asked Paul
what he would remember
from third grade, and he sat
a long time before writing
"this year sumbody tutched me
on the sholder"
and turned his paper in.
Later she showed it to me
as an example of her wasted life.
The words he wrote were large
as houses in a landscape.
He wanted to go inside them
and live, he could fill in
the windows of "o" and "d"
and be safe while outside birds building nests in drainpipes
knew nothing of the coming rain.
