new medium

not totally new, but first-time setting out with a youtube-playlist at the center of something bigger/different...

So, I sketched it out as an 11-song list, but Yoko Ono's "7th Floor" is not on youtube, so we are left with just 10 songs. Numerologists please let me know what that means...




Executive Summary:

 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
    poker with god
    god and angels and the city of angels

2. Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
    cooking safety
    what turned out to be my "baby' mama" cut her finger real good

3. Tal Bachman - She's So High
    random thoughts from 2012 GOP USA presidential primary debate
    Michelle Bachman was in the debate. The line that sent me back to this post was "Beard
    services. In exchange for live-in psychologist to make sure you don't blow your
    cover as a complete mess."

4. Sarah McLachlan - Angel
    yes, man!
    convoluted enigma, be sure to click the links at the bottom!


5. One Direction - Story of my Life
    pandorasdijimewzikhopechest presents heart of a lion
    pandora really is behind pandora #royals98 #destiny #inshaallah

6. Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun
    crosstown playfight battle rap
    first listen to all of his songs repeatedly, then read everything i've ever written, then i'll try 

    to explain it...

7. The Kinks - I'm Not Like Everybody Else
    nuthouse in a nutshell
    and i went back six more times to prove it!

8. Atmosphere - Trying to Find a Balance
    strengths journal entry for mds 3001w
    as a libra very attached to the twin cities and in love with local hip-hop, i sometimes think that
    i might just be the balance that atmosphere is trying to build/find

9. Doomtree - Beacon
    naive scheme fadeout poem
    i dropped this neo-luddite beacon on the world many moons ago #realmagic

10. P.O.S. - Fuck Your Stuff
      environmental autobiograpy
      maybe i should just move to the styx, let these alpha mails role in they're OWN SHIT




Deeper Linkages/Inspiration:

 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
    poker with god
    god and angels and the city of angels

sometimes i feel like i don't have a partner
it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
at least i have her love, the city she loves me
lonely as i am, together we cry

but usually i feel like a whole crew of angels is on my side

down by the river east lake
is where i made a fire
i gave my life away
to the great mystery


2. Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
    cooking safety
    what turned out to be my "baby' mama" cut her finger real good

marvin gaye played on my friend brad's pandora earlier
they played it a lot in occupational therapy at the hospital
but we were told to keep our oral expression "appropriate"
no drugs or sex or controversy, eggshells and PC BS


3. Tal Bachman - She's So High
    random thoughts from 2012 GOP USA presidential primary debate
    Michelle Bachman was in the debate. The line that sent me back to this post was "Beard
    services. In exchange for live-in psychologist to make sure you don't blow your
    cover as a complete mess."

as a minnesotan and someone of swiss heritage
i find michelle endlessly fascinating
i know a lot about mental illness

ivory tower and hard knocks
she's a bat

tal bachman was a gift from pandora


4. Sarah McLachlan - Angel
    yes, man!
    convoluted enigma, be sure to click the links at the bottom!

This was "our song" with my first college girlfriend
anjuli, the shah's daughter
the photo is on the corner of leah's bed

as we prepared to leave nola


5. One Direction - Story of my Life
    pandorasdijimewzikhopechest presents heart of a lion
    pandora (and pan?) really is behind pandora!! #royals98 #Johnnypohlforhobey 

   #destiny #inshaallah

pandora brought this to me (via brad's top hits?)
i would not seek out any 1D, in any reality
but here it was on a silver platter
amidst a collection of music that really feels

like the story of my life
thanks, kid



6. Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun
    crosstown playfight battle rap
    first listen to all of his songs repeatedly, then read everything i've ever written, then i'll try 

    to explain it...

i'm flying just beneath your radar
no ego, climbed the ladder
real thyme? rite meow?
my DJ has been bashing hope for years
i speak with the voice of the voiceless
nameless natives with their braids clipped
johnny cash and the appleseed metaphor


7. The Kinks - I'm Not Like Everybody Else
    nuthouse in a nutshell
    and i went back six more times to prove it!

i know i should know the kinks but i don't

pandora is trying to fix that
i'm not like everybody else
but there are more like me

than john lennon might imagine



The last three songs are not from pandora, they are my 89.3 the current song of the day
for today at least
or maybe it was yesterday

8. Atmosphere - Trying to Find a Balance
    strengths journal entry for mds 3001w
    as a libra very attached to the twin cities and in love with local hip-hop, i sometimes think that
    i might just be the balance that atmosphere is trying to build/find

vampires and psychic vampires
sometimes it's just so scenic when you seen it
been to cinci, got lost
baton rouge tecumseh

simple shit, cheapest sleight of hand
i'm a bit rational, too. where DID the passion go?
less than a lot left after this song

takin my chance every day (all in)

i've played the jester

ready to play king
even on the last day of mardi gras
in the mightiest drainage filter

have you seen my pets
have you made them blind

fake shake of tail
keep writing raps

then play volleyball

guilty, committed, treated like a leper
i was born with a balance
under the stars
named for o'rion

little king needs no ring

none of my friends are famous
i know a bit about the plot
minnesota is the new california
whatever that means


9. Doomtree - Beacon
    naive scheme fadeout poem
    i dropped this neo-luddite beacon on the world many moons ago #realmagic

i took it for a loss but it couldn't have been, could it?
i see now what it is, we were just playing with no bullet
game is less and more dangerous
intelligent creep handy with the way out

carrying fords and locks and keys and canoes
don't need a weatherman to see witch way the winds glows
yall know the ways home, lay your head there
i won't put 'em down, i had faith like a blind otter

don't swear, the kites are fine

gather now ecclesiastes
put your hands down
this ain't kansas


i asked for it
it never came
no coke no opiates
bevvies and many smokes

bike with many spokes
peter and paul robbed what to pay whom?

reborn every crossed eye
every blink wink and z
abstract is only meta
brief flash to father time


10. P.O.S. - Fuck Your Stuff
      environmental autobiograpy
      maybe i should just move to the styx, let these alpha mails role in they're OWN SHIT

ownership society own yours plain old bill pay your bill fortune cookie confession booth

say rhymes, deathsquads
latin legacy, malcom's mother
i ain't seen a shower in a minute
westbank to powderhorn
trying to create some tension
open a book discussing derrick jensen
or how to make bombs with shit up in yo kitchen

bucks love does
ryan's riot
i'm writing scrip, man
smash leaders, spray can

mean mug big players
roll eyes bug 'em out
ttbt i'm your crew
make me a passport

my whip is a loaner
my dj writes prose
spittin teeth fat lip
when's geaux?
