#952 The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

I have definitely heard of the The Flaming Lips. I even had a copy of their tenth album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. “Fight Test”, “Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell”, “In the Morning of the Magicians”, “Are You a Hypnotist??”, “Do You Realize??”, and all the other songs on the album are my […]

#229 Leonard Cohen – Songs of Love and Hate

Leonard Cohen has not been an artist that I have yet to appreciate. I do not like his voice. His third studio album Songs of Love and Hate might be a game changer. I like songs about love. And songs about hate. Honestly, I could not wait for it to be over. The music is good, but the […]

1001 Albums #83 & #84

I have just made a decision. Since the band Love has two albums in the year of 1967 according to 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die I will change their order and review them together, but as #83 and #84. Also, according to Wikipedia the book is wrong. Da Capo came out in 1966. I have lost faith in humanity getting the facts down correctly. Love. What a nice name for a […]

1001 Albums #79

Psychedelic music tend to be a hit or miss with me. Electric Music for the Mind and Body is Country Joe and the Fish‘s debut album, which sort of hits and misses. I was afraid when I saw the band’s name Country Joe and the Fish. I really hate country music. The only thing worse […]

1001 Albums #16

I think I do not like the beginning of rock and roll. It was too simplistic for me. At first I thought I do not like old music, but I realised from listening to Billie Holiday and remembering that I love classical music that is not the case. I actually prefer Holiday’s 50s voice over […]

1001 Albums #7

Oh no, Frank Sinatra has another album in the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list that I am working my way through. Wasn’t one depressing album enough? Songs For Swingin’ Lovers! has a title à double sens. I will let you figure that one out. It is definitely different than I expected, […]

THE BUILDING AND THE OLD MAN (OR HOW LIFE IN CENTRAL EUROPE DESTROYS LOVE)

This is a poem, in the non-traditional sense of poetry, which i wrote in creative writing at Colorado State University. The building is on campus, but it reminded of Hungary. I thought about this building being the other man who came between the Old Man and his wife. I decided to make it into a […]

Winter

Winter knocks without invite enters, It is I who leaves the open door, it is I who anticipates his return, it is I who Loves his presence yet it is on his terms. Winter surveys decides it’s time to settle deciding where to settle d o w n he spreads himself across the land […]

Narrow and Void (Yellow Sparrow)

My life has played out as a prefabricated illusion It’s time for me to end my illegitimate intrusion Around me there is too much dissonant confusion You and i must not procrastinate our conclusion It’s time for you to sever our attachment this day But a world without you will be forever dull and grey […]

this is the day you fell from grace

Another old poem, i use this word loosely. i do not claim to write poetry or at least good poetry, but i have to express how i feel. Sometimes, it feels more like a song, than poetry. i have had people tell me that i express exactly what they are feeling, so that is why […]
