Song I Wish I'd Written

Flagpole Sitta

I had visions I was in them

I was looking into the mirror

To see a little bit clearer

The rottenness and evil in me

Fingertips have memories

Mine can't forget the curves of your body

And when i feel a bit naughty

I run it up the flagpole and see

Who salutes (But no one ever does)

I'm not sick but I'm not well

and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell!

Been around the world and found

That only stupid people are breeding

The cretins cloning and feeding

And I don't even own a TV

Put me in the hospital for nerves

And then they had to commit me

You told them all i was crazy

They cut off my legs now i'm an amputee (God damn you)

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And it's a sin to live so well

I wanna publish zines

And rage against machines

I wanna pierce my tongue

It doesn't hurt it feels fine

The trivial sublime

I'd like to turn off time

To kill my mind

Kill my mind, mind

Paranoia paranoia

Everybody's coming to get me

Just say you never met me

I'm runnin' underground with the moles (Digging holes)

Hear the voices in my head

I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring!

But if you're bored then you're boring

The agony and the irony are killing me

I'm not sick but I'm not well

and I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well

and it's a sin to live this well

One, two, three, four

I still don't understand why girls scream at concerts, but anyway...

The Kinks -- Low Budget

"Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times."

Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five

Bill Laswell, Karsh Kale & others

Throughout three decades, Bill Laswell has been a constant innovator, fusing seemingly disparate genres into a whole new sound. Touching upon everything from worldbeat, funk, rock, hip-hop and jazz, there are no limits to his experimental approach. No matter what the project, one thing remains a constant - Laswell's pretty basslines provide a rhythm to which all sounds connect beautifully. The Grammy winner is one of the most prolific artists in modern music, fronting his own band Material and serving as producer, label owner and performer on other's albums. He has worked with many respected artists, including Herbie Hancock, Mick Jagger, Peter Gabriel, Yoko Ono and Laurie Anderson. Among his many talents is his ability to bring together well-matched singers and players to create a distinct style that defies easy classification. His Soundstage episode embodies his unique approach, transcending any genre boundaries and delivering an engaging performance. From the World Beat of Tabla Beat Science, to the jazzy flavors of Pharoah Sanders backed by Material, it's an exciting mix. Other surprises include a rocking Buckethead set that includes a little breakdancing and songs by Praxis. The show culminates with an all-star performance, funked up by Bootsy Collins.
