Lego white stripes... dismantled and put away in a box, probably organized by white, red, and black bricks. Don't they know we still want to play with them? Seven nations can't put them back together again...tak

So, yeah, listening to this album, "Consolers of the Lonely" I can't wait to buy an electric guitar and start figuring this out... wait, then track 3... and I have a piano. Those lyrics, um, Jacko, what's going on? You in my head,man? You comprehending me? "in the corner of my heart your ignorance is treason"Right on. O - and don't by any stretch feel that this song is indicative of what the rest

Needlecast - I Side With The Seeds, You?

Artist:

Album:
Cpunks,"Dark green enough to be blue" - when writing lyrics/poetry, I believe there is a balance one has to achieve between economy of words and the message. There also needs to be a delicate balance between the abstract and the concrete - the more abstract, the more meaningful however with a dash of concrete, the meaning is not grounded. I have had some issues with Jeff Tweedy's lyrics in the pas

Needlecast - Mysterious Instincts
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Cpunks,Just when I had the universe neatly categorized and tucked into this three ring binder in my office, I thought about a curve ball. Instincts. Huh? Where do they fit in? How can I find the connection between instincts and music...? I quote from all knowing Wikipedia:"Instinct provides a response to external stimuli, which moves an organism to action, unless overridden by intelligence, which

Track:
Cpunks,So, I'm a thinking and when I'm not thinking, I'm writing about thinking. I did the random thumb twirl this morning and stopped on Evanescence. Naturally I had to listen to the new one "The Open Door" and I started to immediately think about "Fallen" the first Evanescence CD that owned me for months in 2003. I had to explore why the music from the new CD was leaving me wanting..."Hello, I a

Boulevard of Clearings at the Broken Path of Dreams
Cpunks,I was running through the gardens when I saw a wooden fence gate surrounded by leafy growths and greenery. You could make out an overgrown path that led straight back into dark overgrowth, you could hear the buzz and tickle of hundreds of thousands of insects and feel the oppressive humidity of oxygen producing water eaters. I ran by at my blistering 10 minute mile pace and the following vi

Needlecast - I focused on Kansas City, miles away...
This is an excerpt from one of my travel journals in '91 - I was on a twenty state, 6,000 mile journey and then I discovered the Blues..."That's where I sit now, the city of fountains and weeping streets covered with slime and dust and the Blues. The city has been a therapeutic experience as well as a mind expansion. I realize how infectious enthusiasm can be. Come with me on my never-ending Ameri

Needlecast - Jeff Buckley The GeniusMythLegendGuy
-
Artist:
Cpunks,This is my second post about Jeff Buckley, specifically this EP. I truly do love this music.It opens to perhaps two people politely clapping, not really sure who this young kid is, obviously an American, a bit snide, and too young to really matter.Jeff Buckley approaches the mic and says - "This is a song about a dream" there begins some of the most emotionally charged rock you'll ever h...

Needlecast - Sippin' Guitar Notes in the Dark
Cpunks,You know what I really like to do sometimes? I like to push my self to the absolute limits of wakefulness, you know to the point where every movement is exaggerated and labored, the state where the eyelids are so at home in the closed position and your breathing becomes so deep that the excess oxygen is just coursing through your body and your thoughts become hard to hold on to. This is whe
