Unemplyment abounds and my gas bill keeps going up, St. Valetine’s Day is on the horizon and blah, blah, blah.
I hate February with a passion, writing 10 songs a week during this month is a challenge to be sure, but it is also a way of trying to focus that hatred and tap that passionate disgust for this stain on the calender.
For my part I shall not be giving away anythign but song titles for the moment as songs are finished. I will report more later as my will to live improves and my stress level increases the nearer we get to March, but, the work thus far has been rewarding and has produced:
1. The Februarian Revolt.
2. Mother/Daughter Dominatrix Team
3. "A Headlong Jump to a Predetermined Conclusion"
4. Vultures on LSD
5. Climb Back On My Horse
Holla!
Onarga.
p.s. If you see me and Carly soon and we’re wearing track jackets, please, don’t be taken aback by this, we’re just awesome, so awesome it’s kinda unreal.
So, Onarga and I have decided to attempt writing 40 songs a piece in February.
this is a chronicle.
I’ve requested that we do not devulge the actual demos of the songs until a listening party at the end… after whcih we will most likely post many of the songs in a rotaional fashion (is that sensical?).
But I’d like to chronicle song titles and maybe some lyrics.
Here goes. song #1 Cold war months
I much prefer the threat of an atom bomb attack much more than the threat of a "terrorist act".
Can there be a cold war if terrorism is the threat?
It’s cold now. it’s february and winter has grown so old and so dizzying, so mezmerising in it’s stale, stiff, dry, crushing cold. Giving everyone in Chicago a liscense to bitch and moan about the weather with full sanctioning.
I don’t discourage the bitching. I think it’s a form of hope. It’s a frustrated delusional form of hope that in some completely impossible way, the bitching will convince enough people out there to stop all functions of society until it gets warmer.
Which is why i welcome another cold war. People need incentive. An H-bomb is a great idea. I think terrorism is too "miochael Myers" to take it with the kind of urgency it deserved.
This is of course this isn’t the case if you’ve been involved in a terroist act, somehow, somewhere… you might feel differently. but to most of Americans and most of the world, unfortunately, it’s all happening on TV. And as long it’s on the screen, we want a mushroom cloud with great effects and a dramtic love story (Obama?) and a villan (Blagojevich?). We wanted Saddam to have the WMD’s… it would have been a leat a reason. if nothing else to show Chicago that a Chicago winter is nothing compared to a nuke-you-lear one.
