Our Departure Sunday Remix

several years ago I recorded some samples
from bill cosby and sesame street.
they were then assigned to beats and scratched with a turntable.
here were the end results...

on restraint...

...Building Off Words Of Sinatra
if I could just press rewind maybe I could read minds
and know the right lines to work with anytime_
learn exactly what to say, know what to do
whenever I fall through conflicting views_
id never walk again with freezing cold shoes
id never feel let down from any kind of news_

Illusions Dominate What Cant Be Seen

11.10.07 Peninsular Park at Night
past entities, forgotten and remembered have left behind
what was once revered in stories and monuments through time
unexplained happenings do have reasoning
tracks and trails have been developed and seen
there is no fear greater than itself
issues without resolution soon fall south
stone is proof, certified type
hardships only play a part in the process of life
strife populates amongst intelligence and ignorance,
hypothesis' help pinhole reality and indifference

Evenings Bob & Weave

The City Listens To A Broken Social Scene
shortly after making plans to meet downtown
falling rusty leaves spread colors and sounds
faces appear behind books in windows
scarves wrap themselves tight as wind blows
music plays in a low lit theatre
happiness lies in the state of being there
simply settling for a brief meeting downtown
words, headlights slowly dissipate abound

Upper Deck / Lower Level

Ten Words for Displacement
clouds are where ideas are stored
this is why they are so big
some of my ideas get rejected
and end up in alaska

Repetition is Elite

A Disposition of Space
echo. reminds me of the past
reminds me of the viscous cycles that can be fallen into
echo. makes me feel alone in a quiet hall with no one there
a brief icon with a fading resonance
echo. makes me feel overwhelmed and unidentifiable
like hearing a foreign language
the past reminds me of an echo i once heard
reflected off a pane of glass in a room
where the door was shut and locked for the last time

Slo-Phaze Collapse

11.03.07 Downtown Ann Arbor at night
I moved into a house next to a bottomless lake
so I could have somewhere to dump all my mistakes
a faucet pouring constantly
to drown them all in 1-2-threes
winter approaches and freezes the stream
memories crash through making a scene
I cover my eyes and stand in the snow
hover over the water, purge mistakes in the cold
