My leg jerking up n down, my blocked nose, the computer's own little voice, foot steps from the flat above, the lone finger that types out everything ever written here and the sound of the writing itself, the refrigerator, a heavy intake of air, noise from outside, there's a bleedin storm or worse out there, could be hurricanes, sound of taking a sip of redwine, moving the chair, sound of a cheap plastic cigarette lighter spewing flame, and all the odd sounds that usually come as no surprise, a neighbor, unusually sober, sipping my wine, talks, steals my concentration, the door closing, tinnitus is what blend so nice with the lapping top.
Band of Gypsies (Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox & Buddy Miles) - Live at the Fillmore East.

Hey. Everybody do their own version of John Cage's work "4,33". Check out and attack...

Cannibal Corpse - Necrosadistic Warning
Isn't "necrosadistic" an anachronistic word. A sadist derives pleasure from the feedback from a conscious victim while necro suggests that something dead is involved.
confessions of a stupid person...
Anyway, I'm listening to Ex-Spectator by Fugazi.

Fugazi is a nice group I used to listen to in the early 90ies...
Ade Fenton / Gary Numan - Healing :
"ive seen all mine
falling, fall down, do you know?
do you know?
obscene, i followed, ive seen some lies,
do you know? do you know?
sometimes i fall down, to you now, do you know?
sometime i feel, like i belong to you now, to you now.
and now sometimes, it feels like i lie to you now,
do you know? do you know?
i feel nothing,
i feel no pain,
you cant hurt me,
you cant touch me,
im not bleeding,
i am healing,
you will not steal,
my dignity
sometimes i fail, she protects me, she makes me feel humility,
she made me clean, she made me see, all i could be, my sanctuary,
sometimes i know, some whores kneel down, do you know?
do you know? sometimes im low, sometimes you fall,
do you know? do you know?"
Cold - I used to have this album years ago and managed to find it again...
"Ugly" :
"All the world loves things of beauty and intrigue
These 2 things I've never had one
Born in this old skin. I'm too sick I can't win
I've lived with this damage 2 long
My eyes can't behold it I cannot control
This this feeling that's left in my heart
I've never done no wrong. I don't deserve these bones
Please burn up this sin when I'm gone
And I said that this is ugly to me
The world is ugly to me
You are ugly to me
And I am ugly to me
I haven't become all I want to be
I haven't become anything I need to be
I haven't become all I want to be Suffocate with me
I haven't become anything
Suffer
Why can't you look, why can't you look at me
See what I see
Why can't you feel, why can't you feel like
Me feel what I feel
Why can't you hurt, why can't you hurt like me
Taste the pain I feel
Why must I die, why must I die for you
It's the ugly truth Well it's ugly
It's making me painless"
"Strip Her Down" :
"Everybody played a game
How come you won't tell me the rules
I'm tired of tryin on a new skin
I never listen; I'm a fool
And everybody ran away
How come you won't tell me where
I guess I treated them too wrong
Now the sun won't shine on me
Now the rain won't even fall
Could of stripped her down
And made the world a mess for her
Never thought she could be this way
Could of stripped her down
And fucked the world all up for her
Never thought she could be this way
Could've stripped her down
Now that the love has gone away
2 blind to see my way to live
I waste away from all the pain, for you I'd kill myself
Again
I hope you get to play your games, I hope you
Get to see your friends
I hope the guilt mixes the pain, I hope you
Never love again"
Gary Numan - Time To Die :
"And I have seen wonders. And I have seen miracles
Oh, I have seen some things. Its all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And I have seen sadness and I have seen time run out
Ive even seen men cry. Its all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And my memories. I cant give them away
So its easy. Like a long long sleep
Im so tired. Now its my time to die
Welcome home
Welcome home
No exhibition
No screaming war songs
No conversation
No more opinions here"
Totally amazing B-side and yet again demonstrated Numan having an inability to release his best songs as singles and usually left them as album tracks or B sides as in the case here.
A great artist whose naivety led to him falling out of the mainstream. The plus side to that is that since 1994 he has never released a bad album
Gary Numan: The Skin Game
Numan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best tracks from machine & soul, although that's not saying much.
What do you think to the Numan/Fenton collaberation, I think TLS is a wonderful song and will make a good single.
Gary Numan: The Sleeproom
Machine & Soul is comin' up next. Havent heard the Fenton-Numan collaboration yet.
M&S is his worst album, closely followed by Outland as it does not even sound like a typical Numan record.
Best Numan albums :
1. Pure
2. Telekon
3. Replicas
4. Exile
5. Pleasure Principle
6. Sacrifice
7. Jagged
8. Berserker
9. Metal Rhythm
10. Dance
The Numan/Fenton stuff is hit and miss. Healing was a good piece of music but not a song as such, the vid is on YouTube if you have not already seen it. As for the album, The Leather Sea is the next single, written about the suicide of a person and how peopel around them feel afterwards, not the happiest subject matter. Slide Away is a great track but overall it's an album that does not get that much play. It is listenable but it's very much like a Nine Inch Nails tribute act.
Very interesting taste in music Ziyaret
