But I Won't

I could tell you someone else's story about their roommate's immense porn collection which apparently contained a tape of amateurish, black and white and quite raunchy gay porn inside a straight porn cover which had been found accidentally...

Or I could tell you about the flash of a movie scene that came to me this morning: A man crosses a freeway overpass as monstrous squid tentacles begin to wrap over the safety railing from below. A young woman who had been walking about twenty yards ahead, suddenly turns, clutching what appears to be a box of Hostess Ding Dongs to her chest. She throws out the sort of snarl one would imagine a cornered mother badger would, clutches the box tighter to her chest, turns and runs. There has been a sort of aural mix of Angelo Badalamenti score and seedy bar, honky-tonk piano through this, but now a distortion heavy guitar picks up. The man looks over to his left to see a fairly conventional looking rock band playing on a makeshift stage made of plastic milk crates. The crowd surrounding them dance in a pagan frenzy, somehow setting concrete pillars on fire...

Or I could tell you about the odd, calm, but melancholy feeling I have after the raging frustration that had built with the man period I had been experiencing the last couple of days, and how it feels made and built by the odd combination of things; excitement for the unknown and being tired of looking for things to be angry at, the inane chatter around and the lonely wail of the train whistle outside...

Or I could tell you that I really want to be at home on this rainy and cold day, wrapped up and watching a movie, drinking coffee and eating a chicken pot pie...

So that would mean this month is officially:

Heck-No! ...vember?


Still I think the category--while quite challenging for one in your musical listening space--is still quite viable.. think about it!? There are tons of bands that you enjoy, who employ technology of some sort in their music delivery.

Just think about it. Out of the box, please.
