of the great anti-hate
springtime is wartime
i’ll rise to the crime-boss
electric guitar string
a bed of flowers

note: A list for chilly Tuesday morning. This comes from “Third“, last Portishead album. I can’t wrap my mind around that album. It’s meandering and completely disconnected. I am not sure why. So I made one for myself trying to figure it out, mixing few tracks (modern, DnB, folks and rock), based one one thing, the “choir’ background in DM Stith’s track, trying to capture that “trip-hop” sound again. So here is a list with nothing but elaboration of small background sound sample. One of my darkest list I’ve posted, so it’s very moody.

    oh, btw, the working title for this list was “Wagner on mescaline”

    just so you know what you are getting yourself into. ha haa …

    Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a naturally-occurring psychedelic alkaloid of the phenethylamine class.
