crack rock planet...

Below is the first verse to Crack Rock Planet, a song I am getting ready to record this week. Hopefully I will be able to finish up the production by getting Max Plenke of Cleo's Apartment to come in and record the live drum piece.

Live from a planet of rocks/ mars face progress mandible smirks/ unicron cannibal earth/ walk the sun and your sandals will burn/ suburban cage to animal turf/ charred trains wave mechanical surf/ fashion police baton master grip/ Graviton bio clock with an asterisk/ iron lungs under collapsing ribs/ captive in drug trafficking crossroads/ iowa cattle tints/ breakaway for cali blend/ happy cows and better cheese/ nasty crowds of leather sheep/ belly of the beast fire antacid tablet/ aeon grey worker ant acid blend/ vega grey magnified massive lens/ morale status check/ Put em up/ savage mastodon/ cut his tusks for the ivory/ saber tooth shaved smooth with lazer cadence/ abrasive cave nature simians spitting like wild beasts/ and while they eat/ predators turn prey/ like crack dealers seeing remorse in the smile of a fiend on their first taste/ Like humane traits are a sign of the weak/ check a silver back spine and rethink what your inclined to believe/ there's intelligent design in the themes/ scripted from evolved simian digits driving the ink/ my knuckles drag and grind till they're pink/

Baby Steps... and Chinese Toys

It is Friday, I have grown accustomed to waking up late for work, skipping breakfast, avoiding doing all the things I used to thoroughly enjoy in the morning to avoid thinking about the day ahead of me. It is easier to sleep through the alarm, and wake up in a panic, since that seems like the most American way to start off my day. Biting the bullet, eating the Lead Breakfast.

This blog will be a collection of my thoughts, and a journal to follow the steps I am currently taking in finishing up Lead Breakfast, my third full length release. For those that know, the project has been talked about for a few years now. It has become a part of my routine, and lead me into a lot of isolation, as well as brought me towards a lot of new friendships. It will be unlike all my other works, more collaborative, more layered, more depth, more dense. It is the swell of energy, relative to our current social, political, and economic state. It is my growing headache.

Here I am going to be sharing the steps taken in the albums creation, as well as insight I have never really before given to people about the songs. There is simply too much purpose wrapped up in what I am doing to not explain it a little bit. So throughout the process I will do my best to help you understand, what I still might not.
