Idaho (all the diamonds you can eat)

16 Aug 2021 3 minute read 0 comments Nathan Payne

Looking back is rough.  What happened to time?  Where did all those people go?  Why must everyone end up on the bottom of the sea, floating alone through the halls of the Titanic?  Don't tell me it's only natural.  We have a super-nature to which dea...

12 Aug 2021 5 minute read 3 comments (S)llew la Wulf

    Handmade Lies   And as I sit here. Wearing the red lipstick, that you willingly smeared across your face, as you kissed me deep and full, amongst the cotton blooms floating dustily, cinematically, about ourweus in that shitty carpark in June. I’...

Guitarmigan - A Rock Song Made with Rytmik Ultimate's Rock Pack DLC

31 Jul 2021 1 minute read 3 comments Great White Snark

Having listened to a few of Infected Mushroom's reinterpretations of a number of songs by The Doors, I felt inspired to open up Rytmik and play around again. The result of a few hours of mucking around, I made this. (It's nowhere near as good as an I...

17 Jul 2021 1 minute read 0 comments Nathan Payne

Today is the 10-year anniversary of the release of Broken Bird.  Conceived as a spoken-word album (thus the title, which rhymes with "spoken word"), it had other ideas for itself, and morphed into an album about being a broken bird.  During recording...

FROM EMO TEEN ANGST TO MID-LIFE REIMAGININGS; RADIOHEAD (a sycophant's ode)

16 Jul 2021 2 minute read 0 comments (S)llew la Wulf

I spent most of yesterday dancing round to Bjork and Radiohead... After my last post about qualifying, yes, I am in celebration mode, but am also having to isolate due to track and trace. I'm not ill, so been twiddling my thumbs a bit... Here is a li...

  One of the nice things about having so many historical keyboards around the house is the ability to just walk up to something and just start playing on it... we have a double-manual French harpsichord, a 5-octave fortepiano, a clavichord and the...

Sex Theocracy & The Uncooling Of America

4 Jul 2021 8 minute read 0 comments Nathan Payne

  I never actually went to a rave.  It wasn't my scene.  I wasn't into candy bracelets, rainbow colors, or designer drugs.  I never went down a K-hole, or was ever even in the room with GHB to my knowledge.  I did take Molly a handful of times, but...

All The Diamonds You Can Eat

3 Jul 2021 1 minute read 0 comments Nathan Payne

Recorded almost entirely on a broken 4-track on cassette tapes purchased exclusively  at the dollar store, All The Diamonds You Can Eat is a bumpy ride through the lo-fi part of town.  From the soaring, cracked-out "A Beautiful Place," through the or...
