PÆRSONALITY

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Karl Blau - "Noah Richards Son" Karl Blau wakes up, covered in sex, and sits aching up in the light blue dust of the morning. He scrapes his vision free from blurred sleep as if from the bottom of a pan and walks stretching to the shower. He showers just long enough for one thought to form: a warmonger is not a breed of dog, that was just a dream. Only one meal remains in the fridge, perfectly timed, as today will surely be his last where he'll be forced to eat like a regular human, a mortal. Check the calendar, the balcony, the street below, empty and stretched like sick vinyl, everything is right and in place. He dashes the remaining coffee in the sink, dons his coat and taps for his wallet, and sails out the window and over the traffic, not a care or worry in his head. Karl Blau (no relation) is an irresponsible so-and-so. [Available March 18th] The Hykkers - "I Want a Break Thru" Play this for all the times you're living in Brooklyn in 1973. [Buy] -- The WFMU pledge drive has started. I'll be pledging big-time tonight during Best Show and I really think you should do the same. They create, and fully store in archives, some of the best radio around. Edit: Tom Scharpling raises 40,000.00 in one show. Incredible. And still next week left.
