Child's PlayPaper, rock, scissors Do equal damage We of deuce court No inalienable advantageChild's Play
Papyrus or pulp A crumpled up caper But not when a rock Is covered up safely
By the infamous paper
Even new ventures Venture negative use Weight concealed by Lines in the suit
Guess which hand holds the future.... Is it the rock Or is it the scissor?
A stone breaks two blades Undone at the binds That when put together Make sinners play nice
And then there's the blade With this way it slice Bleeding

UrbannexThe cement shoreline of graffiti blocks Stays wide awake for double-dutchUrbannex
One part metal, two parts sole A midday dream no nighttime knows
Let boundaries be Where pride must walk For warriors we are Armed and cocked
Among fugitives Like glass once whole We become broken like Moonlight in fog
I go now Where the grass won't grow To end is no end This is a new beginning

Narcolepsy in Slow MotionHalf past eight beats three at night Listen to the hum of highway lightsNarcolepsy in Slow Motion
As the finite world escapes
Into infinite space We
Arrive
Alone
The sleepless hours pick their victims well High speed living equals caffeine pills
Our infant world remains Fantastic destiny Come
Won't you
Ride the concrete waves
As the rising world awakes To plot and then erase
The lines
Of sounded faint

ArachnophobiaA lonely lying in bed Conscience waning to the moon Awaiting the sweet chariot With a full head and many thoughtsArachnophobia
Believing in the russian roulette of nature, I started speaking to the spider circling my ceiling.
I said to the spider, if you move closer to me, i'll stick with my current situation. If you move away from me, i'm going to venture onto new things
The spider continued to circle.
Never listen to anything that has eight legs

I'm actually in the process of getting my Master's in Music Business from NYU right now. One more year and a thesis about using peer-to-peer for record label gain away from finishing...
Keep rocking dude!

You are very passionate about music ! I wish I could understand music, but it is all math, which is to say, incomprehensible beyond gut reaction to me. But I'm learning all sorts of things slowly, slowly about the guitar and music technology because my boy-friend is a guitar player/composer and he is patient.
I was going to read more of your poems but I got distracted by your band's website. I read some of your lyrics and saw the video. The lyrics and the mp3 I listened to reminds me of what i find in your writing.
I can't help but think your writing is meaningful and huge, even though writing in general is something that i can't judge logically the way I can critique art. But your writing pops up off the page with reality and fidelity to visuals and it's fresh.

I live for music the way you live for art, the way that cweeks lives for photography. And to tell you the truth, I can't "critique" any of it on any other level than a gut/emotional level (having not studied the fine arts in any other discipline than music). Having said that, I'll take the gut level reactions from regular observation (mine or anyone else's) over any supposed "critic".
My friend Tyler said it best: "I just go on what kind of emotion it riles up." Some art is eye-candy, some is thought-provoking. My goal for whatever "release" happens with my band/my own music... is to cover the spectrum -- sending up the happy flares and letting them dance with the sad ones. Very few bands do that anymore. Some are too serious, too drone, others are too upbeat, and neglect the other side of life.
I can't believe the video is still on the website
Thanks a lot for all your comments though. Like you mentioned in replying to one of my comments -- that's what keeps us going strong.
On that note, I can't wait for more scans!

"24 Hour Party People" I have never seen that, but now I will.
You are so passionate about music ! How did that happen for you?
Me, I wanted to be a musician when I was little but I was never any good at anything musical. I wrote on my list of goals when I was little "to one day live with a composer." And now I am, so I haven't failed entirely in my quest for music. I'm a muse for toons!
I agree with your gut level valued over critic level. Art history classes have always been painful for that very reason, although I like my teachers, the classes themselves are always rather ackward. You always get punished for approaching the work as a "studio critique". But its a shame when paintings leave their physicality behind and become entirely intellectual in the hands of a professor.
"I just go on what kind of emotion it riles up." Some art is eye-candy, some is thought-provoking... Hmmm, I like this idea of your friend Tyler. I follow that myself, but not even that consciously.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, it's been in the back of my mind, but I've been working at the Walker Art Center on the "Daylight (for Minneapolis)" performance non-stop and doing grants. IWANTAAVACATION. But it is cool to see my art in a great museum...they even have some of our paintings outside of the museum on the roof.
I'm going to check my dA watch and make sure you're on it. I just realized I haven't ever got a single deviantion from you. Maybe I haven't added you like I thought I did. I really hope that is not the case.
Are you a Frank Zappa fan at all? That musician covers the spectrum, as you said.
