a song by Thom Yorke
(my brother led me looking, which led me back to this. so here)
The Present Tense (live in Boston on the fourth of April 2010)
Oh, most of you have heard this song to death years ago
but as all good songs that become a part of our psyche do
this came up this morning
in me thinking about my friends
”
sure it’s kinda lonely
yeah it’s sorta sick
when your one and only
is a dirty selfish trick
”
but it’s not all like that
and it won’t always be like this
for those of you
who know i’m putting this up for you:
One Man Guy – performed by Rufus Wainwright, written by his father, Loudin
i posted about this about a year ago
but had a resurgence with it tonight.
coupled with the newest Radiohead video for Reckoner (which i posted a few weeks ago)
i love the apocalyptic feel this video has
— as if some crazy old man is gibbering on about shit that has no more importance anymore because it doesn’t exist
(in our post 2012 world where the economy has collapsed and there is no more USA or post office or shopping choices…)
rambling, remembering…
the music was done by Corey Dargel
who i quite like.
you can check out some other songs of his
here: http://www.youtube.com/user/dazedorpheus
from his performance “Removable Parts” (about the fetish he found on the internet: voluntary amputation”
— of the three, i recommend “Castration”
his own website is here:

and don’t worry: i’m not an apocalyte
in fact, now that Obama has been elected
no one is anymore: He has Saved The Future!

i pretty much hated “dance music” until i came back from england
is that because i became a “hater” and then learned how to stop being a “hater”?
i bought the Underworld CD “dubnobasswithmyheadman” because i’d hear “Dirty Epic” on a Wax Trax sampler and thought it was so super cool…
but the rest of the record was such crap dance music
i hated it
but when i came back from england
i’d got swept up in all their “techno”
and had danced on some boat in some quay to “Born Slippy”
Just Like EveryBody Else
and the whole album opened up to me
and i loved it
as well as the New Order songs i thought were crap
and many others…
point?
point:
i was just listening to it through
while i cleaned the house
made dinner
washing dishes while the last track played
“m.e.”
which i remember thinking was kinda cool, once i finally let myself listen to it
but also pretty cheezy/hippy
later
i fell in love with the song
and it often made me feel like i want to cry
as it did tonight
i’ve been so emotionally raw the last few days
let me tell you: no healing work like the burst of love that breaks open a callused heart.
but this song, “m.e.” and james song “greenpeace”
always brings up the part of me that is desperately in love with the PLANET more than i think i’ll ever be with a human or humanity in general
yesterday, when my heart was so open and raw
i kept listening to and singing the Orbital vocal mix of “Belfast/Wasted”
though the video portrays some drunk old guy in a bar almost passing out through the whole thing
that’s not the “wasted” i think the poetry is referring to
“do you like this dust you breathe?
do you recommend yourself to my gentle senses?
— i feel wasted.”
more along the lines of having such great perceptions, such deep feelings and abilities
and living in a world expecting and aware of about 10%
uh….
always saying i want more
but i can’t have it.
