horsemouth and his diary-keeping habit

'I have never acquired the diary-keeping habit - mainly, no doubt, because of my uneventful mode of existence.' - journal of giles angarth, 31st july 1930 (from clark ashton smith's the singing flame finished january 15th 1931.)

ladies and gentlemen for horsemouth the golden glow on mixcloud is over (or nearly). they plan on charging (and horsemouth does not plan on paying). he is often listed as 'guest DJ' or his picture appears in the icon. it will continue on in some other form (but without horsemouth's mixes).you have 5 days left to enjoy these. 

 time allowed: 5 days.

horsemouth very much enjoyed picking the tracks. they were a bit too long to warm to as a whole. but they staked out the corner (or the area) horsemouth was intent upon working. he was listening to the transition between a guitar version of sweet earth flying by marion brown and a piano la fille au cheveux de lin by debussy - precisely and nicely done howard. 

horsemouth (as he has remarked) is keen to get the year done. after the 30th (well after the 1st another decarbonsiation thursday) horsemouth basically becomes free (well  after that sunday). he has no compelling reason to hang about in the great wen. 

stuff rolls in the right direction but it is too slow paced for him. horsemouth would like to get it done and be rid of it. the stress of wondering when someone is going to come along and fuck it all up is telling on him.

yesterday he went for a wander with TG (the sunlight was good). he went for a wander earlier on but his head was still too fucked with the stress of staying reasonable.

horsemouth and the balloon game. in the balloon game the balloon is sinking and you must chuck some historical character overboard to lighten the load (everybody argues for the significance of their favourite). horsemouth has been chucking people out of the balloon for a while now (but it doesn't seem to be doing him much good. the balloon gets no lighter. horsemouth feels no more cheerful). 

last night he retired to bed with the clark ashton smith and john hassel/ farafina's flash of the spirit - ah he thought he didn't recognise it (it has turned into a gavin bryars/ harold budd thing). he was writing his blogpost early (and is now changing a few tenses and generally tidying it up). he did this because it is fun and has a calming effect on him. here in the world of words he makes sense.
