17 Pink Sugar Elephants

.
Oldest they are and the wisest of beasts
so they know at last
how to wait for the loneliest of feasts
for the full repast.
They do not snatch, they do not tear;
their massive blood
moves as the moon-tides, near, more near
till they touch in flood.
- D. H. Lawrence , The Elephant is Slow to Mate

note: I am not so sure about this list. Unlike the first one, this one hasn’t been listened back to back several times, it might not flow as well as the first one. Programmatically, imagine soundtrack for a giant parade in the sky, pinks elephants rolling majestically one by one in front of you. The greatest parade in the universe … When it fails, I think the effect is more simple large open space sonic. There is some part missing, but I don’t have time filling it. Tell me what it needs… (maybe I should listen to it several more time, but don’t have time) So here it is, the second trippy list. I’ll make one more with rare dub mix. I have one fav. song I wanted to post for a long time. k. have fun - sq .
btw, the fund drive is over. (Moka will say something, after she gets out of her mid term exam funk.)
