lyrics

I started sleeping in the stairwell of an older time
Two flights of stories more fleeting as I
gather up the days gone by
So buck up young soldier
don't cower under the weight of time
Embrace your fate, not the tempo, attempt to syncopate

It was all right, by a landslide (we were not ready to go)
From our vantage point, it was fine (we were not ready to go)
Noted all there was to say

Be wary of all these things you can't describe
these things that cling to you
More than ordinary is what everyone thinks that they are
So open wide to see eye to eye to those that dont sync to you
Publish the words that press upon the cogs of time

It was all right, by a landslide (we were not ready to go)
From our vantage point, it was fine (we were not ready to go)
Noted all there was to say

26 years under the purple pumpkin sky
with nothing left to do but carve out your own slice
when there is nothing left under the purple pumpkin sky
there's nothing left to do but die

about

Hums + Haws Chicago, Illinois

Basement mining for sonic gold: a trashy sound polishes the one beside it.

I captured all the sounds I could and put them into a Tascam 58 tape machine. I sent waves flying into the air:::

I also play in House Sounds ... more
