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.

Ez
Welcome to Rustopia
We built it and they left.
You've gotta be tough
In a forest city full of steel mills.
Undo your belt for the old gray lady.
A Shanty town covered in oil.
Rust stained trashy nightmare.
I love this town.
It's February in Cleveland
So fuck off I'm alive here.
In 2 months it all blooms again. ---
Ezzy mobile : get fluxed now!
Fuel for the Fire
You have your fuel.
Then there's your vices,
and your accomplishments.
You have your work,
and of course things that payoff in other ways.
Don't ever forget the groundwork, that's key
...most to all of it on the clock.
I know that big brain gets used for something.
Time costs money and money takes time to get.
Everything else on that list above just has to fit.
I juggle without a crowd or a funny hat.
I juggle because it's the only way i know.
Focus is not lacking... some resources are.
Focus has brought us here / so very far.
I, me, my writer of this piece --
I continue to be too uncommon,
too unfortunate,
too busy to really care.
I make my art though thick and thin.
I can only live the skin I'm in.

Spring has sprung!
So its been a long while i know
But much has been happening around me
Since i last opened my space
And your face to my reality
A new studio has sprung
Bigger harder stronger than the last one
The Flux-adel Recording Division
Is open for business. As they say,
Recording is progress
2merica is as vital as ever
Better late than never
El motto de skorpions!
Pedal hard my darlings
Cuz the devil is on our tail
Too many corporate bands biting
Our sound style idea hope
I ain't mad at this compliment
It's my fave way to cope
These days.
Although i admit no shortage of hope
In town and around the globe
I am watching the former foreign fear peddlers
Spin themselves into an American
Dream turned nightmare for their corporate sponsored
Worker fearing apocalyptic vision of our very beautiful
Present. Tense sense of relief.
And oh yeah we started a bad ass new band.
The Bushes have quietly waved
Goodbye and returned to Texas
and we survived.
God Bless us all, hallelujah!
Only stronger and perhaps
Smarter... yeah right
But at least our new prez
Don't get stage fright
And talks to us like we've actually
Been walking on this earth more than a decade
Hot Story Action
Life is hard...
such an understatement
slash obvioustatement
A function of the calendar maybe
but it still hits you hard
Daily, weekly, seemingly every single season
someone goes down with an injury
Seasons change, things rearrange
while the collective scar ages ahead of you
Everyone wanting
more more more
Wanting wars to end
Wanting wars to start
Wanting money
Wanting respect
Wanting trust
Wanting a hug
Wanting everyone
and no one
to know
how fugged up they are
Their skins and their scars...
Yet there are flowers.
so it's all gonna work out fine.
.:::}{ on that note }{:::.
LP3 is REAL DEAL holyfield
with a full ear
it will endear itself to you
through tricks from flicks
old and new
all live tracks (who knew?)
Just a little scorpion storytelling for you all
coming soon, maybe by fall.
Who is Jak Rody?
Who is Jak Rody?
and why would you care?
No answers, only ideas
We need a water pistol man
and a traveling camera
for pre-reality documentarization
Whatever is clever
NOW CALLING:
ARTISTS WITH SOMETHING TO SAY
Have fun look young
Think old keep hold
2merica is just gettin started
we are a young nation
Growing pains
knowing strains
mashup games
We want photos
We want writings
We want drawerings
We want moving pictures
We have some and we want more
History is now
Let's make it hot.
10 Years Later…
There's something beyond being the base. Perhaps it's the simple math done by moving the decimal. Maybe it's a obvious as the 10 digits hanging at the end of our arms when we are born. Does someone missing a finger work better in nines? Hard to say.
Point being the term "decade" and it's intrigue. When freed from it's VH1 confines of loving the 1st integer and ignoring the rest, a decade can prove to be even more interesting. Did music change more from 1980 to 1990 or 1984-1994? Well, that's difficult..... music talk is for arguing. What about your life? Surely no one's life is tied to 0-9 but it can change dramatically in 10 years.
Perhaps we just like grouping things in ways we can handle. We might live 80 years but 80 is too far out there. Tell me 80 phone numbers from memory. 80 books you've read. 80 stories about your cute and hyper-intelligent kid(s). Even our favorite topics don't usually go 80 deep. Nor would you carry general reviews of each of your 80 years with you. See 1983 was different from 1985 in many ways..... yawn..... ok grandpa.
A decade though? Well even the best of us won't see more than 9 of those. More like 5-6 full of memories for most of us, probably only 1-3 so far amongst my readers. So yeah, grouping things in 10 doesn't bother me in the least, I just ask that you consider sliding your start and end points and seeing what you find. I just found this, written about 10 years ago. Prescient, eh?
["Synthesizer Man", words by Andre Benjamin]
synthesizer-
microwave me
give me a drug
so I can make seven babies
pump my breasts up
can you suck the fat up?
please make my life appear
like ain't no such thing as bad luck
my nose ain't right
think I need a new one
just take your pick
a yellow, red, black, or a blue one
virtual reality
virtual bullshit
synthesizer preachers can reach you
up in the pulpit
who a bitch?
give me my gat
so I can smoke this nigga
tell his mamma not to cry
because they can clone him quicker
than it took his daddy to make him
nigga's bitin' verbatim
thought provokin' records
radio never played 'em
instant quick grits, new, improved
hurry hurry, rush rush, world on the move
marijuana illegal but cigarettes cool
I might look kinda funny but ain't no fool
now if you wanna synthesize I empathize...
now if you wanna synthesize I empathize...
but if you synthesize
I will understand
your synthesizer man
Hot Trax vol.2
With speakers in my ears
I can't tell why
People speak to me
I speak to no one
Except to my pocket
Crazy is now mainstream
