the design looks chinese

a flashpowder tattoo

in the beginning... there were rocks

and on those rocks with harder rocks we learnt to make a million bruises

spell out things like "we were here" and "watch your water"

the idea of bruises adding up to something

for rocks to skim

a tendency towards... motion pictures

Ian I'm telling you, 'Private Lives' video is gold but the 'Atalanta Strategy' video is one of the reasons I don't throw out my VHS player

ian, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 00:56 (fourteen years ago) link

ian, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 04:33 (fourteen years ago) link

sides 4 & 6 of atalanta on one side & 'private parts (the record)' on the other = most played ashley cassette

yes lovely sells it for top dollar. or drop me a line next time you're in SF.

I think my christmas present to myself is going to be that new 700 page book of lectures / scores. It's really not ok how much they're asking for it, but it's only money

Milton Parker, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Just saw that book... yikes it's expensive, but it's only gonna be more expensive once it's totally unavailable and gone, i guess? maybe if i cut pack my lunch for a week i can justify it.

one month passes...

the numbers on the telephone, the parts of the book, the notes of the scale:
they are the same, are they not?
they come from the sameness of the idea of the outside-ness,
not the alongside the outside-ness,
the different-ness.

she thinks about the two things that i know if
one of them is elevation, and that comes clothed in light so to speak.
she loathes the dark.
she sleeps in light.
she likes highness.

4,218 feet there.

having seen them play 'The Backyard' for about 9 years now, including once sitting right next to Ashley, it's been amazing to see Martin begin by interpreting very much in his own voice (with his own occasionally more snarky tone bringing an edge to the more ironic lines) and very gradually move closer and closer and closer to purely inhabiting Ashley's original persona.
