Oracle of an Obsessive Orphan
Oracle of an
Obsessive Orphan
Placid
complexion..... Whom among you is intimately acquainted with that subjective gargoyle
in a benevolent disguise? Who's microphone was mute, arising in instant flashes
of emotion! & detoxing in dull doorways of crumpled paper. As these fields
of philosophy
saunter on a racetrack of confusions. Quoting great minds but with little understanding
of their words, & these normal notes are numbing, but jail birds always thrive
on pulling one over on the warden. Funny how the facts were just another work
of fiction, stiff as any loose limb, A mate to a mantis! & Our alchemy occurs in the
echo of
early hours, curious as caterpillars coiled on bluish broomsticks, welcoming
this wanton
cycles golden harvest!
The Eyes
The Eyes
Can’t help myself when I
stare into the eyes, speechless I see many different things. Only through
discovery can I figure out which ones are true. Onward I travel into the
mysterious beyond. Attracted by beauty only to be detained by the savage beast! The eyes have imprisoned me will I ever break free?
The Shooting Gallery
The
Shooting Gallery
“Still
life” portrait, you've focused these cameras angles off your shooting gallery. As
these nurses taped up that pale blue door so you could function as a physician
to yourself,
& The type sheets blank... Curious & clean, but are these notebooks numbered?
For they seem taken away in a green eye of flirtations, redialing for relapse!&
Your just so unable to label what we have. Betrothed as you are to the past, as
our present
moment seems but a mere pinprick, & those watermarks brushed past your cheeks
in perfect strokes. Centered in a place as unstable as your folks, & these traveling
cities sleep in cycles, where winters were warm.Resident to a flightless bird,& you were a dock of dopamine, nevermore now but a dream. For erasing is at first
a gamble
before it becomes an art, as these smudged stories of paper figures are collections
of its proof, & those sewer rats were shy in barrels of sunlight, that
territory where
their wavelengths were out of tune, but oh how they were taken in by those moments
of a simple pleasure. That sense of acceptance I have yet to unearth inside,for
he'd always been a man of words rather then a man of the world. As those
stories of his
forefathers were the only sentences that seemed to strike a chord, dope sick
& bored,&
They've eaten away our ambitions. Leaving only one motive. Perhaps only mystics
or the
magi could relate, & obsessive patterns ink the blank stare of those walls
containing this
shooting gallery, oh how I wonder if this place will ever be closed?
Restless,Hopeless
Restless, Hopeless
Disconnected, feeling
hopeless left pieces of myself in various places. Time awaits no one the master
is the slave. Breathing in new life to discover your down at the bottom, to
awaken one must see past the illusion.
Motley Crue "Too Fast For Love" LP Review
Motley
Crue “Too Fast For Love” LP
I still remember years ago being younger and
seeing my sister’s cassette tape of Dr.Feelgood and wondering what and who this
was? The demon face with the sword on the front cover got my attention and
years later I would end up finding out more about Motley Crue and growing an
appreciation of the band. I bought Dr.Feelgood around this time and also bought
this album which is still one of my favorite records of all time. “Too Fast For
Love” is basically an audio version of the band’s story of the recording, but it
also marks the period of time the band was going through. In a nutshell, living fast, dying young, and
having no regrets. From the opening riff of “Live Wire” to the hook on “Public
Enemy Number One,” I don’t think there’s a song on this record that I don’t
like to be honest. The one thing about this record is you can tell the band was
young and still very new- in a very good way. They just went in, hit record,
and played, probably not even giving any thought that they would go anywhere. They were just having fun being young, and
seeking out trouble wherever they could find it. The band has complimented each
other since the beginning, with the snotty bass lines of Nikki Sixx, the
thunderous drumming of Tommy Lee, the insane guitar licks of Mick Mars, and Vince
Neil’s ratty vocals. Sixx has a knack for writing catchy lyrics and songs,
which he made apparent from this record onward. To sum things up, this record
puts you in a state of nostalgia, remembering how it was to be young and not
give a shit if you lived or died or if you became successful or what was
happening tomorrow. You just lived in the moment and
every time I hear this record it makes me think of that time. This will
definitely be in my top 10 records of all time no matter what, and this record
will always have a spot in my black heart.
Path to Death "Self Titled Demo 2014" Review
Path to Death “Self Titled Demo 2014”
Tampa D-beat/Hardcore Punk act Path to Death recently recorded a nasty offering of noise/punk/ aggression, featuring members of other notable bands in the Tampa scene- Eating Machine, Von Dagger, Arablast, Blood Wave, and more. The best part..? No effects, no pro tools, no bullshit! Just straight in your face, kick you in the teeth heaviness that seems to be lost in our current music scene. I’m not saying I hate things that have clear production, but recently, I’ve acquired a love for stuff that sounds like it was recorded with a microphone hanging in the room and everyone going off. The album’s feedback drive, raspy vocals, fast groovy drumming, and throat cutting riffs will be a favorite for fans of the Japanese/Swedish Noise Punk genres. In 9 minutes the band tears you apart and leaves you wondering what happened??
