of the great anti-hate
springtime is wartime
i’ll rise to the crime-boss

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 …

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline

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

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
