SONG OF THE DAY: Let The Music Play (kudzu'd)

This might be my favorite track to play slow in my patented 45s at 33 style. (It’s not actually patented, lol fuck the law and fuck paperwork.) I have 3 excellent copies of this 45 and probably another 4 or 5 that are pretty good, and I dream of hooking all my turntables up in a circle and playing them all in sequence and just spinning around, letting the music play, slowly, while lavender sage stick burns, summoning the spirit of Shannon herself, who shall appear before me and usher in a bold new age of everybody chilling the fuck out. Finally.

SONG OF THE DAY: Rattling Along the Freight Train (To The Spirit Land)

Whenever I practice vandalism, I always keep my trusty camera in my pocket, so that if anybody of an authoritative bent ever shows up, I just whip out the camera and look, I’m just an obsessed middle-aged white man that loves train culture. The youth around me often times are militant (as youth tend towards at times) and believe things should be a certain way of fairness and just. But the world is a giant piece of shit, because men did too much shit on the surface of it all this time. So you have to adapt and learn to blend and mix and camouflage your true intent as much as possible, especially when you’re a natural born piece of shit up to grey area legalities just by being alive.

SONG OF THE DAY: Somebody's Gone

Brother Theotis Taylor is a nonagenarian (dude in his 90s) down in south Georgia, who apparently for decades has had a piano and an old reel-to-reel tape recorder set up, so that when the mood struck him, he’d record some sounds. He toured as a gospel singers, even played the Apollo, and with Sam Cooke for a while. But mostly he’s just been living his life down in Georgia, feeling the creative spirit as it hit him, and making his art as a conduit from wherever it comes from for whoever might hear it. Even if they don’t hear it, it’s more about a relationship with creation than an end result of consumption. People lose sight of that too often. I lose sight of that too often. (My kids are always like, “why are you saying ‘people’ when you mean us?”) Creation existed long before consumption did, and will continue to exist long after this system of mass consumption – which has poisoned every possible creative outlet you could think of – is dead and gone. Anyways, this song is pretty fuckin’ great.

SONG OF THE DAY: I Heard a Voice, Pt. 1

what a blessing

to hear a voice

of spiritual

significance

inside your own head

all the poisons and

pollutions and

toxicities put

into your own head

by this culture

which apparently

you accepted the terms of agreement

by being born

what a blessing

to still have a morality

your heart can throb with

not compromised by

the brain’s misalignment

by the poisons

injected from all angles

the blessing of

hearing a voice

that makes far more sense

than all these

fucking

rabbit

holes

of spirit afflicting folks

thinking the end's far too close

Aki Basho 2018 Honour Tanka Day Nine: HAKUHO (9-0)

[Hakuho manhandling last basho champion] 

had a nice tanka 

about Hakuho's return, 

but lost that shit 

fuck it though, suffice to to 

say Hakuho's the greatest 

Mitakeumi may 

win basho when the bigger 

stars are laying out 

but Hakuho proved he's still 

the fucking man when healthy 

stood patiently as 

Mitakeumi thought about 

how to finish this 

but ultimately for naught, 

since Hakuho's the greatest 

Aki Basho 2018 Honour Tanka Day Seven: MITAKEUMI (6-1)

[everything that is great about giant dudes slap fighting in a ring] 

if there were any 

doubts young Mitakeumi was 

a beast, this squashed them 

of course he won last basho, 

of course he's a budding star 

my friend Dan (who is 

an accurate sumo star 

rater) had forewarned me 

this was perhaps sumo match 

of the year (at least thus far) 

Takakeisho - 

an even younger star, full 

of promise as well 

perhaps this was two young men 

fighting for yokozuna 

Takakeisho 

came hard as fuck - constant and 

most aggressively 

Mitakeumi persevered 

through hard slaps and strong throat thrusts 

Takakeisho 

stepped aside, Mitakeumi 

flirting with ring edge 

somehow after absorbing 

all that punishment, he spun 

as Mitakeumi 

looked to be finished, he did 

one-foot pirouette 

Takakeisho gave push, 

missed spinning Mitakeumi 

Takakeisho - 

perhaps sumo's future - dropped 

both palms to the sand 

Mitakeumi had survived 

toughest bout seen yet this year 

with one loss, still in 

striking distance after one 

week; crowded leaders 

Hakuho, Kakuryu, and 

Takayasu all ain't lost 

one week into this 

autumn basho, four men still 

sit undefeated 

and young Mitakeumi grows 

his legend more, one loss back

World Cup Tanka: GROUP C FINALE (Matches 37 & 38)

not much to Group C 
in my opinion; France won 
as was expected 

I mean sure, Denmark coud win, 
but let's be real here - they won't 

Australia-Peru 
more about pride, although the 
Socceroos not out 

mathematics lies sometimes - 
numbers often come up short 

chose to watch Peru 
against Australia because 
I'll see enough France 

imagine they'll likely get 
at least to quarterfinals 

during the run-up 
fell in love with Guerrero, 
true spirit warrior 

as is often the case with 
spirit warriors, fueled by drugs 

when life is constant 
jihad, self-medication 
will become common 

"nothing is true, ev'rything 
is permitted," spake Hassan 

Carrillo strikes for 
Peru, first goal of Group C 
finale cluster 

I think of Australia as 
weird-talking Americans 

in terms of football, 
this is definitely true - 
they even say "soccer" 

they call their team "Socceroos" 
which sounds almost Trumpian 

also, Jedinak 
is far too craft brew beard oil 
looking for my tastes 

shinefaces gonna shineface, 
regardless of where they born 

international 
gentrification of hoods 
into wealth enclaves 

one corporate luxury 
box replaces thousand seats 

hence my Guerrero 
love - poorly tattooed wretched 
of the Earth football 

perfect European sleeves 
done all at once are no match 

hence my distrust of 
Pogba, because has the mind  
become colonized? 

although penal colony 
as nation is strange story 

as the knockout stage 
starts to develop, my thoughts 
are against Europe 

anybody but Europe; 
oh yeah the games - it's halftime 

Guerrero poaches 
second goal, finally, our 
hero has been heard 

commentators seem mad at 
constant vibration of horns 

jihad spirit war 
continues between "savage" 
and the "civilized" 

when born without a clean sheet, 
the well-behaved always lose 

when the third world is 
first, when the wretched of Earth 
become champions 

when FIFA's corruption gets 
conquered by "degenerates" 

SONG OF THE DAY: gh0st w4lk (45s on 33)

Ghosts walk all around us, though fear-based poison culture tends to skew our thoughts of ghosts towards malevolent demons attempting to cause chaos and pain to our otherwise orderly lives. Life is never orderly, at least not according to manmade maths. Ghosts guide, and each day is one to be thankful for our ancestors still present, guiding and protecting us, watching over, and giving us another day to live and learn and grow. While I enjoy living life very much right now, I cannot wait to also enjoy being a ghost. It's gonna be sick.

Aki Basho 2017 Honour Tanka Day 11: ONOSHO (7-4)

(Onosho rag-dolled for third straight L)

Onosho - after 

eleven days - stood at door 

of strong arrival 

no one since Hakuho went 

kachikoshi first three times 

(a fellow sumo 

enthusiast informed me 

of this on twitter) 

Aki basho seemed like it 

could belong to Onosho 

but eight wins appeared 

more difficult a psychic 

hurdle than he thought 

losses day nine and ten left 

Onosho looking shaken 

Tochiozan was 

his opponent this day - what 

should be easy win 

but Onosho never got 

off the mark, smacked back, stifled 

no forward progress 

after his initial launch, 

young Onosho lost 

pushed out by Tochiozan 

into dohyo-side front row 

Onosho looked back, 

flustered melancholy look - 

psychic weight heavy 

“how to turn this energy 

back to something positive?” 

big boy momentum 

moves in metaphysical 

ways as well as “real” 

Onosho stood in that door, 
but was not ready to cross yet
