HOLY SHIT THE MONK -> HARDMAN (piano to trumpet) solos in the middle of this comprise some of the most expressive, inventive yazz I’ve ever heard! Straight shoutin’ ‘bout it!

The Cars / Ry Crane

Who’s gonna’ hang it up, when you scream?

EHH

Probably

I’ll be sleeping

when you get this

 

but last night

I cooked three eggs.

 

You’ll wonder why

there are only two

left in the half dozen

you bought with your 

hard-earned wampum

 

and there is a good reason.

 

I don’t feel embarrassment

about anything ever such as and

not limited to seven years spent high

on marijuana 

 

when 

still

 

I never did the 

thing I did 

last night

with the

eggs.

 

I forget whether

I cracked them 

on the counter 

or the stove

but each one

hit the pan 

precisely

I promise.

 

I drank 

a little more.

It was really late.

The dog was back

and forth.

 

When they were done

they looked so good

          not too chopped up

          salt

          pepper

          and so on.

 

I wanted a little

oregano

just for

some 

kick

(flow)

I took it

          from the

          cabinet

unscrewed

something.

 

When I did

          something

was everything.

          I swear

          it was a ton.

         

          2000 lbs.

          of herbs

dumped onto 

my beautiful

scrambled

(eggs).

 

I blew some

of the flakes

into the trash

          some more 

          I pinched

          off the top

while the dog

licked the

kitchen floor.

 

I didn’t know

what to do.

          Baby

          I didn’t!

 

There were three

eggs left and originally

I almost cooked four anyway

but I didn’t want to leave you just

two for your

waffles.

 

I think maybe since

I already thought that 

           and I do think about

           your waffles

           always 

my recourse became clear.

 

Stirring what had already been

fried into a fourth egg minus

some of the initial three

          I salvaged a meal

          (more oil

          some milk)

          from the

          diluvial 

          oregano.

 

It kind of worked.

COVERLETS / Mysterious Ways / U2 and RC

Screws, a minimalist piano record by composer, Nils Frahm, is perfect, perfect writing music. This track, however is so beautiful, sometimes it’s distracting—especially at 1:47. That tiny phrase just kills me.

TILT

_ In This Corner Weighing In _ ep. 8 _ TILT

Wr… Uh… It’s Not Personal, It’s Just Business

After the confessional years, which then, typically, are supervened by a flange period of jaunty hubris—a writer, maybe, becomes a creature filled with such remorse that the last and only recourse is to dedicate his or her life to coming up with a suitable apology or, at the very least, a good excuse.
