requiem for w.c.fields (who died from acute alcoholism)

'the script was written after the performance by chance methods for possible repeats' - rose lee goldberg writing on cage's variations V in performance art.

this morning horsemouth dreamed about the co-op having a radio station. a girl from the english language class many years ago came up but wouldn't speak to him (it was then that he woke up, reasoning that there was no point in staying asleep to be ignored)

yesterday horsemouth was out babysitting (at the park of the mini-me). (people if this is what we call staying at home  and being on lockdown then we are fucked). meanwhile work are posting horsemouth off to sunny kingston twice this week (wtaf work?).

horsemouth listened to two classic rock bands he doesn't normally listen to - he listened to  uriah heep's demons and wizards (most excellent) and doctor doctor a track by UFO (this one he had as a kid on k-tel's axe attack compilation). uriah heep were widely mocked as a poor man's deep purple,  both are heavily in debt to vanilla fudge and that big organ sound but the balance of forces was different in each band and so were the results. uriah heep were lead from the keyboards by a singer-songwriter (er. who was also a good slide guitarist and also played acoustic guitars detuned to c) plus everybody in the band could sing (in the style of sweet or queen). late on he watched an albums ranked show about them - he's as far as the live album. 

he also watched werner herzog's bells from the deep (as part of his werner herzog series) - russian babies are baptised with drama and full immersion, once each time for the father, the son and the holy ghost, people crawl out along the thin ice to try and hear the bells of the lost city of kitezh (sunk beneath the waves to escape the mongol hordes).  

horsemouth has just worked and is now grumpy. tomorrow the anniversary of the recording of black unity by pharoah sanders, wednesday the recording of thembi  and astral travelling  at the record plant in LA,

today is the anniversary of the death of judee sill. (right now horsemouth is particularly taken with linda perhacs in particular this demo for chimacum rain).
