Penisgeek Chrestomathy: The Essential Cubicle Nosepicker
Memo: Ruby, I've gone home.
Dick is all grown up now. He has a job, security
and a lovely girlfriend. He just can't stand one more day. the Essential Cubicle
Nosepicker questions the value of modern employment, personal gain, and the
discovery that one must love oneself before loving his environment. Dick, not
strong enough
to find this, abandon's his adult life and runs to the sea.
Don't let the funny
title fool you. This is a serious adult contempory CD that is smart, sophisticated,
challenging and beautiful. This by adults for adults.
It is pretty and chordant with singing and piano, without being sacharine
or trite.
_____
THE SONGS range from funny and uplifting (although sarcastic and quirky)
to downright sad and pondersome. The lyrics are of adult themes, and by that
we mean self-actualization,
self-worth, love, work, responsibility, goal-attainment, alcoholism and death.
They frame into a story - like a light-wieght opera or a well-connected concept-record.
A couple singing about their love and their intellectual troubles. Its smart
and pretty.
THE MUSIC is sung by Dave Grant, who has a deep, masculine, raspy
baritone (really raspy). He sometimes sounds like Bruce Springsteen or Johnny
Cash or like Neil
Diamond or Tom Waites or like Satchmo - and he sings loud and strong and
with hurt and with humor. Michelle Graf comes in like an angel, a smooth, pretty
high
voice that lulls and harmonizes and lifts. She brings in a sleepy and gauzy,
almost nicely drunkly pleasurely charm and wit and affection to her part
as Ruby.
THE MUSIC is wild hot piano, influenced by classical and punk and
jazz and show music. Its theatrical and grand and hyper and melodic. It has
some frantic,
Listz-like
moments, others are sedate and thoughtful, others are playful like children's
music or a parade. You can still hear Till's maniacal Screwtape and TASM
nuances and humor, just slightly handicapped by the piano's natural chordance
and reservation.
(is this making sense?). The music is punctuated by moments of violin and
fretless bass and classical guitar to sometimes achieve a chamber affect.
Compared
to known artists: its like a newer Elvis Costello record (think Painted by
Memory, Juliet Letters, North - both in lyrics, especially lyrics,
and melody),
Tori Amos (the same intensity measure by pretty music), attitude like
Fiona Apple, Jonny Cash, Frank Sinatra in "Softly" or "The Lady
is a Tramp" and "come
to pappa come to pappa", Niel Diamond, Brian Ferry's "As time
Goes By", Rollinghead with a piano and violin instead of guitars
and drums (because its Dave), Kate Bush in "This Women's Work",
Some drunken sing-alongs, a moment like "hungarian rhapsody",
a melody stolen from Danny Elfman's soundtrack to "Edward Scissorhands",
those pretty parts in "Thing
and Nothing", Elliot Smith, moments like Sting or David Gray. Ben
Folds Five. Harry Connick Jr. Danny Kaye. Dean Martin. Randy Newman.
Dick
is portrayed by charismatic singer, David Grant, formally of the rock
bands "Dead
River Drag" and "Rolling Head". Ruby, Dick's girlfriend,
is sung by the talented Michelle Graf of "Blue Dahlia" and
TASM Lab's Thing and Nothing. The music was written and performed by
Jeff Till, himself. This
is his quiet little record. Usually he likes to scare people with music,
like when they jab you in the dark at a cheap haunted house.

everything is enchanted. enchantment is the more melodic synonym of entropic gravity touching closer to its etheric nature as you see it takes the cemetary out of the song in essence linguistically. take, for example, my radio. it's an inexpensive cd player and am/fm model with no tape player and no clock- i had the option to let my mom get me a pricier model because it was a birthday gift but the other model was unaesthetic. the brand name printed on it demanded attention. this little guy doesn't ask me to look at it. after my mom bought it for me i gave it back then bought it off her, which sounds like nonsense maybe but thats what i had to do for it to be mine. now its in my aparment sitting on the microwave, plugged into the wall (the radio is, not the microwave), but i never use it, nor do i intend to. i never turn it on. i don't own any cds and i'm not interested in the radio stations. it's just important, for some reason, that that thing is there. it's existence and presence in my apartment in and of itself is the manifested expression of the radio station i'm listening to, the radio, at least that part of it that is there merely to act as a mental reference point to the radio, to itself, to the essence of the here and now that is the true raw nature of time as it would otherwise be forgotten in the false context of memory. there is no music that is richer than this. there is no signal stronger than silence as all sound is contained within it. everything is enchanted by silence. the strength of an existences enchantment is measured by the strength of its silence. this is true for all of existence including within the context of music as expressed in the wake of silence.

there's obviously a direct connection between time travel and the dimensions. when a person time travels the first thing that happens is that they effectively erase their original timeline, so there has to be somewhere for te traveller to be wen their originating timeline is gone, and that is the dimensions/dimensional existance, which is the same as the place refered to as the other side, which is accessable by degree of indisposal to physicality, of course. it i by order of the cessation of interest in the expression of the local timeline that the traveller is imparted visibility within this field, and this process may be expressed in varying degrees of speed. the traveller for example may wish to sift bulk from their observed expression or to purge it, perhaps in haste, which would lengthen the process, as more bulk would then be created while attempting to escape entropic gravity which no one can do on the other side or on this one.

in response to "black lentil"'s prattle about sporky:
dude, how are you going to say that it's SAD that a kid named after a plastic fork and spoon combination i ate parfaits from kentucky fried chicken with when i was the same age he was when we were both on the farm does better growing up in the mainstream, using a username that's just a ripoff of kira's, and an incoherent one at that, and expect to be taken seriously? i mean, by anyone intelligent, obviously you succeeded in shutting down the thread and making a spectacle of hipforums moderatorship, but that's beside the point. or is it. heh. nevermind. good job genius.

Revel: (clears throat) Everyone (in the context of this dicussion) IS Arol, and everyone else here for that matter. You ARE a weak masochistic conceited bitch, and a failure at life. I AM intelligent and confident enough not to bother wasting my time either advising or commanding you to "get some class" as I DO recognize the boundary between my responsibility and yours, and that IS the reality you have to face every day of your life, waking or sleeping. I AM the winner of that and any other existing argument for that matter, and I AM at this moment as these words are spoken, a better zendik than you, a better man than you, and a better person than you, BECAUSE my response to life is YES, to knowing that the one bearing the devils advocate excuse is the fool, the martyr, the retard, and the loser, being yourself, in that matter, of course. Cheers (to me). Blan.

god IS us, and wether or not i care about you doesn't need to be ADVERTISED. this dilema is the foundation of the zendik cult, which is founded and led psychically by me simply because i bear that name, and am conscious of it's fallacy, and THAT's what's behind zendik. That's the whole thing.
