Appreciation Post: Jaimeson Lowell
Lots of politics and tech and life up here, but through it all I keep the music spinning. We are the music makers and the music lovers. An example of one of the finest lyrics from my favorite 'wrapper' Jaimeson Lowell:
want it, need it
program you deleted
no need for cheating
when a heart's not beating
no mouth or attitude
one plug, one love
last chance connection
I hope you've been debugged
raise the rug
cryin' buckets full of truth
my little sugar triangle —
who's feelin' who?
-- taken from "Who's Feeling Who?" by 2MERICA [Sensors & Switches & Buttons LP 2007]
Books and Music – So much on the way
So many opportunites with so little cash, so much fun to be had makin the dash, but I have big billskys, crying babeskys swirling around.
On I march through thick and thin living the best in the skin I'm in. I borrow old song lines when I post as a crutch, I know, but my crippled ass is on a mission. What can I say I have no rhyme but lots of reasons.
I have two books in the works because I want to publish something beautiful for the shelf or the table or your bag: 1 is a book of 2merica imagery and lyrics, the other is a book of my writing, mainly poetry. Both are in production now but I have no firm timeline. They will of course be for sale online.
Also, the next 2 tracks from Scherzo Elskorpion are almost ready for mastering. Like the debut "Never Met Tomorrow", they are full band let's go all the way affairs and I think you will dig both "Keep Steady" and "Mass Entertainment".
Now if I could only finish the remaining 2 tracks and put out all 5 on vinyl I'd be the most happiest boy alive. That's a nice long term goal, please check with me on that one later.

Words for a Nearly Spring Weekend
I have been dragging ass through February but March is here and it looks like we might have all survived another winter. Time to rock and roll for sure. I had two songs on the iPod the last couple of days that kept me going, particularly the lyrics, so I wanted to post them for your enjoyment:
"Nightrain" [by Slash, Izzy, Duff & Axl]
Well I'm a west coast struttin' One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey You can make my money tonight
Wake up late Honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card To the liquor store
That's one for you and Two for me by tonight
I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain One more time tonight
"Elevators (Me & You)" [by Andre & BigBoi]
Got stopped at the mall the other day Heard a call from the other way
that I just came from, some nigga was sayin somethin
talkin bout "Hey man, you remember me from school?" smoke some
Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
facial expression lookin silly
And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got buku of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been goin through tha same thing that he had
True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
to the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
If you don't move yo' feet then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck
Yes we done come a long way like them Slim ass cigarettes
from Virginia, this ain't gon stop
so we just gonna continue
