to see what he is thinking (revisited)

good morning! good morning!

horsemouth is awake and he has his coffee. last night 'the fog' on the TV (well after a little blake's 7 on the laptop). as usual with john carpenter the soundtrack is amazing. some of the shots were amazing too.

horsemouth is missing hawkbinge (their latest episode on church of hawkwind is overdue) and their however-many-year mission to listen through the entire hawkwind studio discography. the team is someone who knows their hawkwind and someone who has never heard them before (except for seeing them live twice). 

currently they are bogged down in the early 80ies (not the neophytes favourite decade and there's a lot of it to go).

 

as you can see here horsemouth is also heavily biased towards the 70ies. tyranosaurus rex, french film soundtracks about housing estates and space travel, san francisco psych folk, debussy, inner city unit, hawkwind in kitchen table electronica mode, nusrat fateh ali khan and michael brook... 

next friday, june 17th (from midnight to midnight pacific time), bandcamp are holding their third annual juneteenth fundraiser, where they donate 100% of their share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a racial justice organization with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education. 

so that would be a good day to buy something opines horsemouth (even if you don't make it as far as buying any musicians of bremen). 

saturday afternoon howard and horsemouth plan to meet up. 

seven years ago horsemouth was discovering (through his blogging) a potential new musicians of bremen  lyric (from the overlooked volume two). 

horsemouth supposes he doesn't do enough to bring the phrases he discovers in writing this blog into the lyrics of musicians. he agrees with jarvis cocker here, lyrics are basically the homework of songwriting, they alibi the song, they tend to get neglected, or done in a hurry. 

further, he suspects he doesn't do enough to extend his writing out beyond the blog format. 

yesterday horsemouth chucked out some papers (some from his time at beachside donkey rides, some from his time in the communal endeavour). if horsemouth is to get mobile he must lighten up. he must thin down his books.  he cannot really afford to pay for storage. he must chose between his guitars. 

yesterday he also found 3 picture frames (and brought them home). one displays a postcard howard got from india of a drawing of a leopard. another the map of the administrative regions of portugal that ze gave him. the third the photo that denise took of him up in clissold park sometime in the early 90ies.  he also picked some wildflowers and put them in water. he will identify them soon. 

as horsemouth writes he hopes to see what he is thinking.
