In my last trip up to the big city, I got word of this newly constructed elevated park, officially named The High Line. The park’s been constructed on old rail lines from the 30′s and it’s amazing how serene the park is, even though it’s amongst the metropolis. It’s beautiful.

I’m a little delayed on posting this, but there’s been an awesome exhibit at DC’s African Art Museum by Yinka Shonibare. He takes classic scenes portrayed in previous art works (literature, operas, paintings, etc.) and reconstructs them using colorful textiles, headless mannequins, or erotic positioning to show a completely different perspective. Although, no photography was allowed, I snapped a couple shots. Don’t tell anyone.

Changin times, changing tunes. Here’s a new one for the faithful. The as yet untitled track is somewhat of a departure from my old style of sampling and looping old vinyl. It’s been inspired by some other stuff I’ve been getting into lately, but nothing worth mentioning because I don’t want to beg the comparisons. It’s still in a rough draft state; I can’t seem to stick with one thing long enough to consider it “finished.” Just getting some ideas down….

Untitled Rough Mix

A fallow summer night

Choleric heat under a bright red devil moon

Crickets chirp

Underneath the Big Sky

Thirteen years underground

I have a friend, kids

Oh, he is a friend of yours too

Look around you

At the blood

Flowing like torrents
As merrily as if it were champagne

No longer will man be responsible

For his actions

God is dead, kids

God, is surely dead

Your Father is asleep on an easy chair

Bathed in the television’s spectral glow

The evening news announces

Cowboy accused of killing his parents

I remember several years ago

Mission on the Embarcadero

On our way…

Going opposite directions

Jack Kerouac Street?

Hand in hand

A toxic purple sun

Smoldering overhead

Lost the first time

Thinking we could beat the world

At its own game

Did I break your heart again?

The answer is undoubtedly

No

just watch…amazingly…bizarre maroon 5/swizz beatz remix/eric warheim video
