...all along these Nantucket songs have gone together as one.  the spacefolk sounds are characterized by structured and repetitive progressions, framing the space for lyrical and instrumental liberty.  this is not chaos and confusion music, but chaotic and confusing words and noise are captured and celebrated.  eternal realities, eroding privacy, the ever fading past, pretty eyes, success culture, travels, truths, half-truths, untruths, and being stranded alive.  Noises are effected and affected, unexpected and detected.  Nantucket is isolated.  Nantucket time is constant, repetitive, and clocks are rare.  Nantucket men see clear.  The end is known, the rest is trusted. ...a collection of 20 songs, recorded in 2 stages.  first, to get an acceptable recording of each song with the main duo.  then, post production sessions to enhance and diversify sounds further, primarily focused on additional guitar tracks, percussions, keys, limited ...

Like I said, lead head, got fed, instead. Greens upon greens, upon greens. Loaded plants and vines. My mind, oh my mind, oh my mind. What's real, how I feel, how I steal, it's my deal. What's a clock, why not, match the pot, take a shot. Watch it rain, came up lame, took the pain, insane. Up a creek, keep the beat, soak your feet, take the streets. Get loud, lose the crowd, do it now, do it now. Long bow, too slow, at the Rio Blanco. C GFC chosen by the voters. eb7da .you're the sweetest queen that I ever seen, make the wo...

.the whole room was ready for tunes. .the smiling charity gang finally arrived. .billy falcon was performing. .washing the red down with Tupps black. .deeeeeelicious. .a defining moment. .exiting the hospital wondering what to say. .the dude everyone knows. .a builder and replicator of European towns. .its true about the hundred dollar bill. .magical and significant, always. .the windows have a mucky film all over. .one at a time. .the words come easy and fast. .capture the essence through mysterious means. .stained glass room, like a sanctuary. .shhhhh the talkers. .hush the ruckus. .met the humble brewmaster. .a team effort is always the best answer. .the day brother twisting iron and folding tin. .really worked that world word over good. .came out in rough pieces that fit perfectly. .like home. .

Positives are hard to find with a tie.  A 10-10 Saturday morning mahut result against Joe Vita was no different.  Up 8-5 after 13 games, he roared back to take 5 of the final 7 games, including the final two, and we walked off 10-10.  Tied 29-29 going in, we finish the day 39-39, on our way to 70.  The Isner Scoring Method produces long term competetive tennis conditions.  There are numerous battles in the eventually war.  The next 3 or 4 mahuts with The Lion Duke will be interesting.  Our previous, and first, Isner match went to Joe, 59-70, and, of course, I've never beaten him in a match using vintage scoring either. The stakes are high.  This is relevant tennis.  Some positive developments, beyond the tied score, included the introduction of an elbow wrap.  Damn tennis elbow had afflicted me for the first time and the wrap helped tremendously.  Minimal progress on the development of a two handed backhand, but it still has never ...

the incredible stories of how it's made. rust proof plastic chippers tested by cool girls. spring loaded contraptions with a snug tight fit. green lawn commercials promising 100 square feet. tapping music and a knowing narrator. artistic glass mechanically formed. the only cutting material available is diamonds. layers of sand designs ready for baking. completely scratch resistant and heavy. looping percussions and wiz bang noises.

..this circle of relevancy is shrinking. ..only traditions and obligations to keep it intact. ..only supernatural forces to keep it effective. ..only a few truths are even known. ..some, like ever expanding space, are largely ignored. ..the thought of the possibilities too much to take. ..others, like death, are obsessed over and fretted. ..when the minds get involved, nothing is pure. ..motivations of the selfish and greedy. ..the soul contains empathy and sympathetic instincts. ..true benevolence is never from the heart or mind. ..it comes from outside of us, taking over for a moment in time. ..directing the heart and mind against their will. ..genuine and authentic and true, we are only being used. ..there is nothing in return, nothing to gain. ..we cannot gain anything greater than what is already attained. ..we are made men and women.

..to know that billions of minds are active. ..scheming, lying, manipulating, justifying. ..not one pure thought in the bunch. ..free of satisfaction or pride. ..memories become exercises in selection. ..picking out the magnified parts. ..the theory of primacy applies. ..brilliance too, the creative instinct. ..made in the creator's image for sure. ..discovery is exponential. ..which leads us to now. ..communicating instantaneously. ..considering other minds constantly. ..what they think and what they know. ..the jealousy trait and Cain's blues. ..the heart must take over for now. ..chugaboom, chugaboom, chugaboom. ..amen.

again, the prime is not fully cooked. low and slow makes it easy. all the verse I ever heard. the importance of what is said. the authenticity of what is thought. the standards are high. perfect and blameless only. worthiness is relative, so to speak. as are most things. the poverty line is moving. guarantees are impossible. anything could wreck it all. not better, but bigger. had the reach. like Holmes. with his eggs and Volkswagens. this place is filled with light.
