horsemouth would be there but he's out of town

so triple negative will be at the cafe OTO christmas fair today from 11am -6pm (allegedly).

horsemouth would be there but he's out of town (as with the coltrane home gig in brooklyn last night). 

at cafe OTO today you may pick up triple negative's  records, cassettes, CDs, books and drawings (horsemouth guesses) but probably not this recording (which is download only) horsemouth guesses. maybe there's a way to do it. 

horsemouth particularly likes the cover of this recording because it shows (what he presumes is) matthew's drawing/ lettering style. 

there is something undeniably filthy about their recordings (and even their text). look at this sample title return of the living dirt. look at all that excessive detail not aimed at providing a warm life-affirming counter-cultural experience (what is the point of it? it's just sound or scrawl in the wrong place). 

they are kind of the anti-ECM/ the anti-wyndham hill. they have found the secret stash of toxic musical waste. the work done on the garment will not vanish into the coat it remains hideously apparent.

the nearest thing to it horsemouth thinks it some sort of cross between african headcharge  and PIL circa the flowers of romance.

there's other stuff from other bands there but horsemouth would mainly want to pick up some of matthew's drawings. he has some cassettes from the time of feral wingwalker in a box somewhere. 

earlier (saturday evening) zoom beers (two) with howard (and howard had some baileys too plus he'd been for a pint up the big empty pub earlier for a read).  howard is talking about a release schedule for all his stockpiled stuff. this would be good opines horsemouth. 

earlier still horsemouth was off up the forge (and back). 

this morning he has slept poorly due to a mixture of paranoia, anxiety and poor temperature regulation. he worries that he has bollixed something up, similarly he worries that he has blabbed and that now the forces of repression will develop an interest in his misdemeanors from 40 years ago (frankly this is a bit  unlikely). 

a friend has reassured him that his name (horsemouth) has not come up in the inquiry and for horsemouth this confirms the essential correctness of living his life as a donkey.
