… What binds me thus in my singularity to the absolute singularity of the other immediately propels me into the space or risk of absolute sacrifice. There are also others, an infi nite number of them, the innumerable generality of others, to whom I should be bound by the same responsibility. -Derrida. Gift of death. pp. 68.

note: Bittersweet tracks, my imagination what perfect blues mood ought to be. Road weary, aware of that tension of push and pull of sentimental other. I need this after listening to so many abstract rock (you will get to listen to that messy list. hah.) at anyrate. I hope it is listenable in sentimental way. The list has tried and true blending balance with various blues in all its night form. A mixture of old, new and the classic. Short and bittersweet. enjoy.
