CitizenMofo

Hi again, SoulMaaaan, I dig your music video, both the music and the video - you're working with some stunning images there and you're beyond me in video capability. I use Windows Live Movie Maker and just do basic mash-up things using video bits freshly borrowed from youtube or images from my rather large stash from when I used to make weird T-shirts. I love it, it's a blast, and adds a cool dimension to the music. Check out some of my vids on youtube if you're of a mind - I've got 7 there, 3 political ones and 4 just my weird music, under CitizenMofo. Rock on.

Thanks for the listen and comment, crucethus. I wasn't familiar with Laurie Anderson and so watched her video "O Superman" on youtube. Yes, strange, wonderful stuff, and I can see a definite lining-up of sensibilities there. Thanks for turning me on to this and helping me learn something.

Dear Carole, thanks for listening and commenting. Yeah with this one I was going for the combination and conflict of a sense of dread and delight that desire and longing can bring into one's heart. I wrote a bleak song once that attempted to express the same dichotomy of attraction (it's gonna be good) and repulsion (my heart will inevitably be broken). I wrote it when my marriage was ending a few years ago - along with a lot of other bleak tunes about the impossibility of love lasting. Here are some of the lyrics:
All living things
Contain a room
Where darkness grows
From the seed of doom
And this is true
Of love as well
Inside of heaven lies
The seed of hell

-But maybe it's just me. Take care.

Yeah I had a blast making this one - glad that came through. I always do. I watched the "Pump Up the Volume" video on youtube - brings back the memories, so thanks for that and for your comment!

MStokes, your comment made my day. We spend endless hours making these things, or I do, and wonder, "Will anyone hear it the way I do? Does anyone out there share my sensibility, or am I just a weirdo and an oddball?" Well, yes, I am a weirdo and an oddball, but then again so are we all, and it sure feels great to connect with a kindred spirit. Thank you!

Thank you, Indozizz. I had a lot of fun making this one, especially since it was a complete remix of an older track that had failed to catch fire, and I felt it did in this version and so crossed that piece of unfinished work off my list. Thank you for listening and commenting - that's what makes it all worth it.

Thank you, Carole! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, man, for listening, commenting, appreciating. Much obliged - much respect.

Thanks, man. I like rhythmic aspirations embedded with vocal exercises too. And killer guitar makes me weep. The thing I've found with guitar licks, by the way and for what it's worth, is they usually sound great reversed as well, and so I do that a lot and then mix them together with unreversed for variation and build.

Thanks, man. I appreciate the listen and the comment very much.

Thanks, Shatner. Appreciate the comment.

Hm, I just noticed a little cache of comments on this song from 4 years ago that I must have missed, or something... Thank you for listening to my weird thing!

Thanks, Ed. I missed this comment the first time around for some reason, so circling back 4 years later. The NSA, by the way, is still doing the same shit, and no one cares. Oh well. I guess my song didn't work.

Thanks, man. Missed your comment the first time around 4 years ago. And what a strange 4 years it's been. The NSA stuff is still going on of course, but no one's paying attention anymore since there's bigger craziness to rubberneck. If only music could change the world...
