The Drake Equation, Hubble's Theory, Bauer's Postulate, and Other Significant Mantras of the Cirque du Jour

Reading an article about sick building syndrome, and how it may be related to Infrasounds, I stumbled onto the elephant, and their mysterious social circles. These creatures host greeting parties, laugh to express joy, may possess some form of E.S.P. to communicate to each other, and have more emotional range than most human beings.
The infrasound: a sound with a frequency too low to be detected by the human ear, often occured naturally from ocean waves, avalanches, earthquakes, volcanoes and meteors. The sound itself is known to cause feelings of apprehension and fear without conciously knowing. It it can at times make people feel vaguely that superntural events are taking place, and as you may already know certain animals, and media conglomerates already exploit it's very boundries. Living life on life's terms, but keeping it a little loose.
The explotation of the instant gratification of today's way of life is already passe, though what is not, is the sensation of downloadable music. Acknowledging the fact that there is no degredation of quality in copying digitel music, which seperates it from any other method of reproduction, the abandonment of the album is troublesome. (Many main stream artists excluded) The release, or album desires a listen in it's entirety. The emotional peaks and valleys of song arrangement, the anticipation. Though very few still touch stylus to vinyl these days, or know what a good side is, for it is a time when synthesizers virtually mimic the process of playing every instrument. To pick and choose cuts so easily deflates the entire industry, as you have taken the mystery out of the artist's latest composition, the album. Plus whatever happened to these arguments of analog warmth, or the frequency cutoff and quantization noise of digital music? What is the expected lifetime of our civilization?

Stony Flagella In The Era Of Fossilized Conjugation

1. Theoretical Impinging Inertia: the passing of creative Chi though direct inspiration. Artisanal currency. Not wholly organic, (or wooly for that matter), but possibly with synthetic, or modified addititives. Pragmatic, woolly, thinking, lacking bitter malady, though the brilliant crimson of Autumn's maples has faded, and the morning wakes bearded with frost. A salve for modern media's promotion of anti-intellectualism.

Album in Review:
Extraordinary Machine/Fiona Apple: Another contemporary masterpiece for Fiona Apple. She is the sultry interpretation of Nina Simone woven to a Post-Modern Tom Waits riff machine.

Adventures in Carnelian Jewelry

Faint whispers of Winter in the November night air. Is the planet crying out to us? Tsunami, earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes, red tide? Bird flu mad cow? Is the reckless abandon in which violence is weilded globally the result of grazing upon our poisoned soils? Cat food. Cats I'd say have a much deeper appreciation for epicurean finery, more so than any other domestic animal. Maybe, save man.
The work above is entitled "Soulfish", a watercolor from '03. It seemed a fitting piece, for this piece.
Lyrical Overheardature:
More housing developments go up,
Named after the things they replace,
So welcome to Minnow Brook,
And welcome to Shady Place.
