Surface Euphoria
September 30, 2009 at 9:26 am
…. She dives into the lake and comes up with her head covered in muck and great kelpy strands of green pond slime - and beaming in a way that practically radiates out over the face of the lake and the desert. She has surfaced euphoric -
‘Ooooooh! It sparkles!’
-Pulling her long strands of slime-slithering hair outward with her hands and grokking and freaking over it -
‘Ooooooh! It sparkles!’
-The beads of water on her slime strands are like diamonds to her, and everybody feels her feeling at once, even Sandy -
‘Ooooooh! It sparkles!’

This list reflects what consistently sits in my record crate. A warm up set of sorts, the list contains slow grooves, loops and samples. Gil Scott said that he could always count on Lady Day and John Coltrane to wash his troubles away. As for me, I can always count on Moody and Theo.
