Can’t have Side A without Side B:
State of Contraction – Barry Adamson
Speak Now (Or Forever Hold Your Peace) – Cheap Trick
Short of One Dimension – Exit North
It’s No Game (Part 1) – David Bowie
Korendor – 細野晴臣 (Haruomi Hosono)
Black Hearted Love – PJ Harvey & John Parish
Same As it Ever Was – Class A [except I slowed it down and chopped it up so it lasts longer]
Porno 3003 – Pizzicato Five
Shrink down low
before speaking now
or forever holding your peace
This dimension
the one we inhabit
with and without fear
holds surface, form, and line
When it fails
the revolution makes the papers
but is, as so often happens
mistaken for an average day
Outside, la voix du globe
enshrined in ether sound
a foreshadowing
of something nebulous, torn
from which desire, unleashed
will burst forth
the way it always does
mistaking this latest crush
for once in a lifetime
‘Breathe,’ says the voice
‘Close your eyes and breathe in
let the music carry you along
and exhale
Hold, and release’
