Who Gives Kudos:


Tuesday, August 26, 2008 
Late one summer evening. The road speeds by, the lines a blur in the incandescent glow. Behind the wheel, the sound of music in my head. Justin sits in the seat next to me. The acid just kicked in. 60. 70. 80. We get faster. California landscape flying by. We are only 18. Someday, I think, I will make music like this. Someday, somewhere, someone will drive the road, hearing my song. They will share this moment, transdimensionally, across the years. We will both be the same, at different times. The same atoms swirling towards decay. The same breath. The river flows for you and me. And everything. The future is the past now. The road is the same. The river, still flowing. Are you behind the wheel? Do you hear my song? Has the acid kicked in yet? Fly fly fly away….We never need to get where we are going. Just keep drifting downstream. We all come out in the same place anyway. I’ll catch up with you later on. And I hope somewhere upstream, someone is playing my song. Behind the wheel…..

PHILTH

in 1995, at least 5 years after the acid had kicked in,
I listened to underground copies of your music. . .
as well as FURNACE - on the road,
still on acid, and so on.


In 1996, after watching you perform live on a KORG prophecy and another unknown KORG, WAY WAYWAY WAY in front of cEvin Key at the FENIX in Seattle, I did my research, and 2 years later got hooked on THE ESCAPIST.

.

I don't own a car, nor do I drive much anymore, but I will say this: Whenever I AM behind the wheel, it's usually a PHILTH related soundtrack. . . .

continuing downstream. . . . .

i drop and listen to either you, or you and mR. cEy. and if i am behind the wheel, i push the bass up so your tones cushion the flow and flux of my atoms expanding beyond my own comprehension.


beauty.

MANY MANY or your songs have been playing when I was behind the wheel and the acid kicked in, or more properly the entheogens, so many landmark moments in my life and you were the producer, the DJ, the maestro, the aural pulse to my existence. You've given one of the best gifts that is possible and transcends all things, YOU were the soundtrack to my moments in my life.


I thank you for that and I hope to continue these wonderful new sounds on various roads....

Catching this late...really late.


Either way, we're all there. Some of us just don't need acid to go there. The music brings me.


In one door, walking ghosts of myself on a path forever changed.


What did you and cEvin do to me?

I like how the headlights in my rear view mirror turn into big round O's from the bass kicking.


They oscillate from fat ovals to tall ellipses... bouncing along to the beat.




Must, keep, eyes, on, road, ahead, of, me...



Cirrhotic Psychotic for sure!
