alles ständische und stehende verdampft (bandcamp friday)

so an instrumental version of fallen angel by king crimson has emerged from the vaults. you can hear much more clearly  the harmonics of the guitar, the flugelhorn, the clarinet. fallen angel isn't horsemouth's favourite track from off red (but it's pretty fucking great). (horsemouth is following it up with a listen to the vocal version). 

a year ago horsemouth was waiting for the arrival of the musicians of bremen volume four CDs (and when they arrived they were beautiful). now he is waiting for an email. he gets up, he surveys his email box, nothing.  he's been offered a smidgen of work too but he's not convinced by the scale of it. 

yesterday horsemouth did a little business planning (or rather he tried to work out what was going on in the world of social housing, for this is the communal endeavour's field of operations). for this he finds inside housing's podcast thoroughly helpful. horsemouth has come to the conclusion that his critics and their demands for affordability (aka. charge me less rent than everybody else) will have to be addressed. 

horsemouth (as he has mentioned before) has succumbed to the romance of development. he positively welcomes that moment in capitalism where all that is solid melts into air (as the english translation into the language of shakespeare has it). but of course the original german has it differently as  alles ständische und stehende verdampft which seems to have a pun involving two varieties of standing in it (horsemouth is indebted to a podcast about robert curgenven for this belated discovery).

of course (stockholm syndrome style) getting the hostages to identify with their captors is the big thing (thereafter the hostages will have quality circles where they will sit and discuss how they can be better hostages - did horsemouth mention the business plan). 



horsemouth's favourite band have a gig coming up (october 23rd. cafe OTO) and seemingly a new album of grit  on cafe OTO's 'record label'. horsemouth's musical outpourings are with the proles on bandcamp. 

it is bandcamp friday when they 'waive their revenue share' so should you purchase any musicians of bremen music in this period horsemouth and howard will get a few shekels extra. but horsemouth is convinced you (all of you who know him and are likely to purchase musicians of bremen's music) already own as much musiciand of bremen as there actually is so he will probably advertise other people's music instead. if anybody in the seaside towns wishes for a CD drop horsemouth a message and he will womble one over.
