I am going to seek out 14 artists (well 13 and myself) to include on a live Mixtape. I have yet to find an artist that has a live show recording up here - other than myself. So, all recommendations are welcome.
#####Shameless plug######
I need a few reviews. If anybody has time.
Thanks,

It's just another 'hair brained' idea. I have been mulling over all of my life.

A hard thing to do, is place a word into a tune. And even more difficult is to build a tune around a word - a concept - a feeling. The most difficult thing to do is wait for some meaning to come. This wait is coupled with the anguish that is brought on from the strength of the content and context of the song.
For instance the following line:
'These are my hands.'
To follow this I would probably run through the gambit of ideas like: help, hurt, hold, heal yada yada yada. Those...
The list of Recent Visitors shows up as does the comments and Recommendations. What needs to happen there is an image coding scheme for the recommendations - that section should be split for quick reference as to the songs that have actually been played perhaps by listener or just a culmination of song plays. This would be more intuitive I think. A quick reference on one page. With fan activity, Recent listeners and importantly to an artist and a label - what is being listened to. But, for now...
Music is mathematical. That is a statement which needs no introduction. Scales, modes, octaves are all mathematical components of the aggregate of music. All art forms are expressions of a humans compulsion to approach that which is coldly mathematical. As man, we must measure things. We categorize our music - label our cans - price our liquids - and derive meaning from scrawlings on paper, pinholes, and even light. We give spectral phenonmenon names such as "red", "blue"...
these are the pieces of your
life that you have
scorched and scattered
is this the reason why you turn your eyes away
like broken hands that can not force
incessant teeth from chatter
your lips coat words across a wrinkled lying face
just bits and pieces of me
somehow that's all that matters
were i to carry on attempts to run away
these are my necessary elements
all of the pieces of my soul
i try to read along the page
of life
so torn and tattered
indignant time will never...
so for a while we think
or we think we think anyway
for a while
then for quite some time we think
we think about the time spent
thinking about time
for a while
and if we take too long
thinking about time
and the time it takes to think about time
then we waste our time
oh dear, that is entirely improper.

Sometimes, just sometimes...I want to scream so loud that the paint on the walls peels away and allows me to see the framework. Oh, it's there, it's just covered up.
Sometimes, just sometimes...I want to stare so long that grays all change back to black and white the print no longer smears. Oh, it will, it most definitely will.
Sometimes, just sometimes...I want to sit so still that my bones would literally jump through my skin and take off down the road. Oh, they would, and they...
anticipated faces
alive with sweat
blue eyes tracing
contours
swaying in a dance
soft notes hang above
the night sky
calling
wide awake
and lost some place
warm but not too cozy
in a thick fog
blanketed by the ocean
floating forever
in her one sweet
kiss
alive but close to death
i hang on
for the e-ticket
ride
permitted into the space
where she lets no
one else
go
a piece of mind
to share
but never
own
tranquility in a wine glass
portioned ever-so-slightly
before...
A note is the lemma for a musician just as a word is the lemma for a linguist, and an unspoken word is a lemma for the psycholinguist. It derives a meaning at conception. How profound, some humans do that also. =)
More coffee sir.
I will constantly be adding new material to this site. So check back often.
Apparently I am not limited to the number of songs that I can upload to this site. So, I can put many of them up here.
