Hi. I’m really busy today, what with all that stuff going on. I’m conferring with friends in high places about what’s happening and how to deal with it.
Be Excellent
Be excellent to each other
Be excellent to each other
Be good as you can be
Be kinder than Bambi
You think you are so cool
Went to all the finest schools
But you look like an old dishrag.
Who cares what you know?
Fancy places you go?
If you’re still nothin’ but a drag
Be excellent to each other
Be excellent to each other

If you’re still nothin’ but a jerk?
Be excellent to each other
Be excellent to each other
Be good as you can be
Be kinder than Bambi

Raising sails, hauling lines, turning capstans, pumping bilge water, or weighing anchor demanded coordinated effort. If twenty men pulled at slightly different times, energy was wasted and equipment could fail. Rhythm solved the problem. Continue reading
Personal Favorites
I’ve spent the entire night repairing various albums to make the songs within them be consistent in sound and general mood. The internet crapped out just as I was getting around to writing something or other, and just now came back on, so this is the blog for today. Continue reading

The Follow-Up:
From Albums → Playlists → Personal Reality Streams
Once upon a time, music arrived as an authority structure.
You bought an LP.

The Song Matrix
Threading the Needle
Imagine a large rather cubic creative grid.
Across the top are ten lyric sheets.
Each lyric sheet contains the same words every time it is processed, but those words are not yet tied to any musical identity. Continue reading

We’re living in a strange and wonderful moment.
