mostly hip-hop with a few switch-ups thrown in to keep the listener honest. total time just under an hour. made for brian but i think anyone would enjoy it. well, except for marto. might be a good cd for a party but i'm not sure seeing as how it's been so long since i've been to one. if anyone would like a copy, speak now or forever hold your penis.

extended involuntary creative hiatus

mixing match

in this age of the ipod, i still believe in the value of a good mix cd or tape. luckily i know some people who enjoy receiving mixes. i haven't made any in a while though and i'm feeling like i want to fix that. so, who wants a mix? (brian, your order is already being processed :)

if you'd like a mix, let me know. also, if you have any requests (single artist mix, selections from my 2003 favorites, a certain style, etc), i'll try my best to fulfill them. if you feel the need to try on some funny and request a celine/yanni mix or anything else ridiculous, please spare me. also, feel free to take me up on this even if you've never met me. yeah.

the lapse co.

the door reads "exit"
but he is already outside
standing before it
imagining them
watching him
through windows
he cannot see
he looks at his feet
hoping if he stares long enough
the door will be an entrance
when he lifts his head
but he cannot bring himself
to look up yet
he hears faint snickering
and wipes sweat from his forehead
once more
as he starts to step backwards
s l o w l y
he knows
if he turns around
or steps backwards
too quickly
they will realize
he is no match
and the snickers will
become laughter
and his ears will
scream for silence
and his mind will
beg for mercy
and his heart will
hop out of his body
pulsating its last beats
on the ground
where he will
squash it
in his haste
to find
a place to hide
he will
collapse.

talkie walkie

should be better
than 10,000hz legend
from the buzz
i'm hearing.
nigel godrich
on the knobs.
no guest vocalists.
return to form?
12704 knows
virgin suicides
will get a spin
tonight.

empty goldfish bag spilling water
from its hole onto kitchen table

when programs worked
the phone feelings expressed
in honesty forum haunt
by fingersnaps more
up and down if
possibly relieved to
some degree tom
remembered to stick with
records of bagels in lands
visited once head almost
shaved to tire and distract
at 2 am drunk on
insomnia over nyquil
three more before twelve
thirty one two thousand
three cookies and brandy before
bed if spotting gerunds
is her skill i've got your
liabilities right here storytime

you mind little.
