The Strange Attractors: Sounds like a Dandy-Primal Scream-Small Faces-post Manchester

freakout. Good to see the Brisbane tradition of sharing band members is alive and well.

Good night, good music. Thanks for the smoke.

Here's to the Strange Attractors, past present and future members,

Chaos reigns king in the world of rock n roll... braving the raging waves, we played some stellar shows, and blew more than a few minds along the way.

Not much to say, but nice work to all attractors and friends out there navigating this strange musical landscape along the road to the stars.

Happy holidays to everyone, everywhere,


The Strange Attractors... peace

Madonna-whore complex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna-whore_complex

The term Madonna-whore complex refers to a psychological complex in Freudian psychoanalysis that is said to develop in the human male. The term is also used popularly, often with subtly different meanings.

According to Freudian psychology, this complex often develops when the sufferer is raised by a cold and distant mother. Such a man will often court women with qualities of his mother, hoping to fulfill a need for intimacy unmet in childhood. Often, the wife begins to be seen as mother to the husband — a Madonna figure — and thus not a possible object of sexual attraction. For this reason, in the mind of the sufferer love and sex cannot be mixed, and the man is reluctant to have sexual relations with his wife, for that, he thinks unconsciously, would be as incest. He will reserve sexuality for "bad" or "dirty" women, and will not develop "normal" feelings of love in these sexual relationships.

Popularly, the term is used to describe an unsatisfiable desire by a man to have his wife or other female partner exhibit both of these mutually exclusive traits. This introduces a dilemma where men may feel unable to love any women that can satisfy them sexually and are unable to be sexually satisfied by any women that they can love. Alternatively, the term is to describe or attempt to justify the behavior of men who pursue multiple women as a way of fulfilling each of these needs.

Open your heart... free your soul.

I'll see you, when the rain comes pouring down.
I'll see you, when the earth starts turning around
Caught up in a hurricane, all alone on the whirlwind train
From now on, we will never be the same

Fragility combined makes storm clouds in the mind
Temporary lives go flying on the breeze
Coincidence is never ever what it seems
No direction home to what once came before

Like butterflies in the wind
