A guide in anarchic seduction
The motionless air expands like the breath of someone who might speak, then falls silent.
Each day is the same, the same voice not breaking the silence, hoarse and always the same stillness of memory.
The bright window accompanies, with its brief tremor, the calm of that time. Each gesture jolts the calm of that time.

Thursday, January 8, 2009. Fire craves air and will leap leagues to find it.
Everybody was paying attention to your dellusional speech about anarchism that night, but I wasn’t convinced. Destruction is a continuous process, not one of finite duration to which the natural conclusion is creation.
How could you light up our way when you think the whole world should burn down in flames?
You drove us miles outside the city, looking for the perfect spot. You wouldn’t stay put until the last one of us was seduced by your words. You were very enthusiastic about ethanol and some techno artists from Tel Aviv while we drove there. You thought it was astounding the Israeli’s drive to dance when bombs were being blown a few blocks away from the clubs.
I’ve always found electronic music to share an aesthetic affinity with apocalypticism, so I didn’t find it very unusual or particulary poignant.
The last words you said in the car were ‘now let’s see if its true that water doesn’t put out ethanol fires’ before dissapearing into the night with a bottle in your hand and a crazed chuckling behind.
We never expected a house would look so lovely when its burning down.
Fucking love Pavese. Nice.
Moka is still tripping with her new headphone. lol. (wet accoustic with rounded bass.)
Moka,
Love the list and especially like the writing following the list, is it yours? Couple of spots need some clarifying–clearer writing–but liked it overall.

Was he that water?
I like the cover track… it wakes up my memory.
love the flying lotus track.
i post a lot of similar sounds on my site, swing by sometime
if any have the time
Wow this is my first time on here and about your last 5 posts have all been music i have been listening to lately. great taste
Oh so you are a She?
I keep coming back on your blog. I can’t help myself.
Beautiful playlists in general.
Thanks.
Seconding the love on the Flying Lotus track, but the Tayo is straight fire as well. But it’s the writing that I had to comment on — beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you, readers! Glad you liked this one.
Billy Angel: Yes. This is what happens on an ordinary Thursday at my ordinary city and everybody is too drunk to think. I’m aware the writing is a tad… obtuse. I wrote it quick without rechecking and afterwards I noticed the pacing is all wrong. Thanks.
jungle: I’d say Buddah and other philosophers in eastern civilization made the biggest ideological revolutions thousand of years before him, but course he didn’t made a bad job himself.
DOPE. Great mix. BTW, I was the guy who dropped in here a few weeks/months back trying to figure out how to play the entire page. With songbird it is a breeze.
moka, do you write this?… said again i like your music selections but the way you write is amazing WOW
Your physic body is important, but its not the most important criteria that woman use to avaliate men. Charm is the key of success. Seducers that are good looking are capable of seducing a woman easier, once that attraction is already present. However, looks are Lost the most important thing in the seduction game.
