Music

Dead Confederate

Heavy petting and more songs of innocence, experience....

Sugar was recorded by John Agnello (Hold Steady, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), during a record-setting blizzard in New Jersey,

The album also features a special guest appearance by J. Mascis (singer, guitarist and songwriter for Dinosaur Jr.) on the single "Giving It All Away.")

Dead Confederate, from Wrecking Ball:

'All the Angels'.... it stands up to a radio head full of psychedelia of epic proportions.... methinks would make for very good accompaniment for animation.... I just saw clips of 'Constantine" in my head...in the graphic novel state.... and a whole lotta William Blake...:)....

'Wrecking Ball' has space ghost elements in it…..Escher....

Sugar.

Title cut is one slow, sweet taffy pull. It drip, drip, drips onto a photo album Holiday heavy with amber burlesque images.

A clean metal writing tablet.

A bionic, brave new world.

It’ll cure what ails ya...it's aimin’ to sweeten the world up...one bottle of Proactive at a time….a little dab'll do ya.....

So sweet, that Sugar.

It’s music to "paint" a Tesla mural by..."Nikola Tesla perceived the earth to be a conductor of acoustical resonance." -- Coffee and Cigarettes, Mr. Jim Jarmusch. 2003—

--And yes, like Mamma's little baby sings the words the White Stripes told us: “I can tell that we are going to be friends……” –

--(Fade out and into the sound of waves, music and a mighty, mighty El Camino waking…”Last night my baby wanted to talk to me about art…but I said no…let’s just close our eyes and watch Bob Newhart…”Hi, Bob”..”—Surf Machine, Spot 1019).

So tap in, kiddies….;)
