the philosopher owned

‘surface…the sense…to make sense…’




the carnage of pop.

out of Context;
‘pop implies that a cataclysm of conformity will bake us inside of our skulls in a way that we shall never really recover from.’




AssassiNATION

original songcraft by C.Michael Keaton

excerpt; ‘Ratta-tat-tat of machine gun fire
breaking it all down for one earnest desire
soldiers ‘kill or be killed’ while generals retire
then burn all the bodies in one big pyre…”




i refuse the humble opinion

‘whose…to deter…the sleeping becomes…’




waxing bummer.

out of Context;
‘the massive bulk of human meat spends long hours staring into blank space on purpose. but is there anything to be seen there in that hapless void?’




Alchemical Manipulation

I feel like some sort of wizard with my new gizmo, energyxt…

A thumb drive with sequencing software and enough free space to save hours of music, drums samples, and hopefully more instrument patches….

I’m giving serious thought to setting aside the hard rock/metal genre for this… It’s easy as hell to write, just point and click, drag and drop….

I must say though, once I have a real handle on the software, I’ll be using it to create sonic backdrops to live guitar and bass.  The wonderful thing is the ability to sequence beats then copy/paste them as needed… No more dealing with subpar acoustic drum recordings and the fact that the beats I hear in my head I lack the ability to play live.  I never said I was a drummer damnit, and drummers around here all suck for one …




Quote of the Month; July….2009

“Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.”
~ William S. Burroughs; american author and artist.




Obsessive Craving

original songcraft by C.Michael Keaton

excerpt; ‘… overlooked in dormant genes, past lives
failed to get past where I succeed
tearing the hole out through the flesh in dreams…’




Hell is a Daydream

original songcraft by C.Michael Keaton

excerpt; “Did you hear the new disease
is now the autonomous apathy
cringe with your fears and lock yourself away
disappear and accept your fate”
