Music Recommendations
But first, a phone pic of my new guitar :)
First up, a ‘new’ song by The Doors, found on some recordings made for LA Woman.
I’m enjoying Bitcrush quite a bit, moody, textured, emotive and lush music.
This tune by Lemon Jelly inspires me to reminisce about old ‘70s pick-up lines I never used (I swear). “If I could rearrange the alphabet, baby, I’d put U and I together.”
The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld turns 20. The Orb – Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld on Spotify.
Drowner, from Houston, is Fabulous Shoegazey Dream Pop. I know I’m hooked.
I recently remixed The Foreign Resort’s new song “Orange Glow.” Here is the entire EP. If you like good shoegazey new wave, this band from Denmark hits all the right spots.
Last, but not least, here’s a song I wrote a few years ago for “In Silico.” I wrote it while sitting at the Coffee House on Cherry Street. It was a nice vacation day, I recall.
That’s all for this round. See you next time.

Holy Crapola. Old Poem Discovered - "The Body"
The Body - 8-29-94
The brain is machine
a creaking
leaking
torture device
floating in smoke signals
The leader of the feet
I dream
Symbols float down
and determine what dreams
are scrolling to the body
a tower
a river
an ocean
a valley
a hollow oak limb
The hands
do what they can
to break rules and boundaries
before they are tied back
What the arms can't reach
the feet kick dirt upon
The body tries to grasp
the mind is
together, they travel through the vortex
becoming alien
returning to the ocean at death

The Angel Oak
(Photo found on subreddit ITAP - not sure of photographer)
It's the "Angel Oak," found in John’s Island, South Carolina, and it's estimated to be over 1400 years old.
I visited the sad tree with my family in the mid-80s, having the good fortune of residing in Ladson, SC at the time (close to the home of my Cherokee ancestors in NC). I recall the park surrounding the tree sporting rusty playground equipment, and the tree branches were supported by struts rather than be allowed to break or touch the ground and rot.
The land owners charged $5 to see it (the new owners apparently do not charge), and I must say the experience left a sort of breathless/pathetic impression upon me, as if the tree were begging to be allowed to die, in a sense, but man was fighting to preseve it. Hurricane Hugo took care of some of that in 1989, but it is reported that the tree has recovered from the damage.
The Angel Oak made it into a poem I wrote as well. I should post it when I find it. Meanwhile, here’s the link to the official web site: http://www.angeloaktree.org/

Pac-Man Pancakes
I made these on a whim tonight while Talon, my son, watched in total perplexity.
