Turn off your mind,

relax,

& float downstream…

Try to realize
it’s all within yourself;
no one else can make you change.

Song of the Day: Blind Willie McTell - Searching the Desert for the Blues May 11, 2008

You may search the ocean,
you might go ‘cross the deep blue sea…

'Hot Shot Willie' - Atlanta, 1940

But Mama, you’ll never find
another hot shot like me.

Apollo 15 lunar mission - July 1971

i followed my baby from the station to the train,
and the blues came down like dark night showers of rain.

recorded February 22, 1932 in Atlanta, Georgia

West Valley, Mars - November 2007

i left her at the station,
wringin’ her hands and cryin’…

oh lordy lord --- lord, lord, lord...

i told her she had a home,
just as long as i got mine.

Victoria Crater, Mars - Fall 2007

that's why i'm searching these deserts for the blues...

Song of the Day: Björk – Innocence May 5, 2008

Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Sounds, Song of the Day , 1 comment so far

When i once was....

.

i once had no fears,
none at all.

And then when
i had some…

To my surprise,
i grew to like both:

scared; or brave
without them.

.

.

fear is a powerful drug. overcome it, & you think that you can do anything...

The thrill of fear —
thought i’d never admit it…

The thrill of fear —
now greatly enjoyed with courage.

should i save myself for later... or generously give?*

*

Neurosis
only
attaches
itself
to
fertile
ground,

where
it
can
flourish…

*

*

innocence..

.

When i once was

fearless,

innocence roared.

.

.

let's open up...Still amazes…

.

.

.

.

Untouchable,

innocence.

It is still here —

.

.

.

.

but in different places.

YouTube Video of the Day: DRONE - Strange Craft April 28, 2008

Posted by ~V~ in : Uncategorized, Video, Sounds, YouTube Video of the Day , 1 comment so far

Is it live? Or is it…

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened
are always interesting to me, because as we know,
there are “known knowns”:
there are things we know we know.

We also know there are “known unknowns”: that is to say,
we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also “unknown unknowns”
the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

KNOWN: music | video | samples

UNKNOWN

Song of the Day: The Shins - Young Pilgrim April 27, 2008

Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Sounds, Song of the Day , add a comment

A cold and wet November dawn,
and there are no barking sparrows —

i sink & then i swim all night.

just emptiness to dwell upon.

another slow train to the coast...

i fell into a winter slide,
and ended up the kinda kid
who goes down chutes too narrow…

'The Eloquent Young Pilgrims'

But i learned fast
how to keep my head up,

fate isn't what we're up against... there's no design, no flaws to find.

’cause i know there is this side of me that
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
fly the whole mess into the sea…

modern thought can get the best of you.

Surrounded by empty souls,
artificial courage used.

so this is how it feels to be free.

Man’s beside himself,
man’s below himself.
Man’s behind himself —
am i inside myself?

Odeo player UPDATE ***UPDATED*** April 7, 2008

Posted by ~V~ in : Uncategorized, Sounds, Song of the Day, Web Resources , 1 comment so far

*UPDATE*: Odeo’s all good now. Check the comments for the latest info…
DON'T PANIC.

Don’t worry, people - the Odeo player isn’t gone forever.

It’s appearing and disappearing intermittently, and when it does appear,
sometimes the songs load and sometimes they don’t, but this kinda shizz
happens whenever they’re upgrading the system or whatever, idk…

i’m sure it will be back up 100% again soon, so in the meantime, please
enjoy the many other fine posts here @ opw that don’t utilize the player.

Maybe you could even leave a comment (hint).

i’ll delete this post when Odeo starts behaving again.
