concept album

"empty"

a concept EP album about a beautiful naive protagonist female immigrant from overseas, who, with pinnochio-like-innocence, upon coming into to NYC (lower east side manhattan) is swept into a whirlwind of sex, parties, and drugs; a chaotic life interspersed with stale, stagnant hangover days; she is often in a daze, and has trouble separating life from fanatsy; she is misled, misinformed, dressed-up, humiliated, and mistreated by various people and in various ways; all the while she wrestles with nebulous but nagging questions about who she is, where she came from, and where she's going. the story culminates with her eventual discoverey of the root of her problems, and the nature of her being, during a nightmarish episode in which she spends hours propped up in front of a mirror, contemplating her reflection, her tearless eyes, left there by her lover/abuser, exhausted, paralyzed, and helpless, after a night of sex a cocaine... she is an inflatable doll, with a soul.

the root of her problems is that, literally, she is an inflatable doll with a soul. so picture it like the end of a twilight zone episode... she looks in the mirror at hear tearless eyes, the fog clears and she suddenly realizes after long examination, she is not human, she is not "real", she is a blow-up doll. dressed up and forced to act out other people's fantasies. from overseas = made in taiwan. but by some pinnochio-like miracle, some sick twist of fate, she is consious, semi-real... but it would leave open the question of: whether or not she really does come into being like pinnichio, comes to life and frees herself; or is it simply a metaphor all along and she was just a girl?

song title / idea

"space echo"

what's that? that's the sound of potsam barreling
through the universe...

the universe is shaped like a keg.
sagittarius is the pump,
potsam is the nozzle,
and the the milky way is the frothy head,
of the vast pint of the galaxy...

for, on manlo day, greg dutifully pumps sagittarius as
god does a galactic keg stand and inhales a quasar.

later on, god is sporting a good buzz and signals
gabriel to call up satan for a kayak case race. ...if
god wins the stock market has an up year, and/or the
american league wins the all-star game.

at this game potsam throws out the first pitch, but
instead of a baseball, it's a globular cluster... greg
is behind the counter at the concession stand, selling
and moon pies and bags dark matter popcorn dribbled
with positron oil and sprinkled with a fine dust of
quarks.

but the stadium itself is potsam's cerebral cleft; the
metal beams are his neurons, linked to supernovas of
gin, splashing into the proto-planetary disk of
seagram's tonic, where quinine comets fizz and burn up
in the atmosphere of the star's sole planet: a
gas-giant wedge of lime...

song title / lyrics

"sky hook"

I've drank the cool-aid, but last year,
my thoughts were entirely superceded
by the big boys, the uber-bosses,
who preside over the hierarchy of thought.

concept: It's about putting peanut butter on a dog's tongue, and watching it freak out. the artist name will be 'dj pb freakout'. it will be a techno song, featuring many muffled, sticky-tongued barks... and it will inspire a dance craze: 'the pb freakout', involving lots of flinching and twitching...like trying in vain to catch the tip of your tongue. dj pbfo will be signed by ASTRAL WERKS.

song title / lyrics

"journey of a tear" or "mysterium magnum"

(a song about a tear traveling down the face of a loved one, describing maybe its origin and composition [not yet written], but definitely describing the path it travels.. but it's really about love and the necessity of evil as an atithesis of good)

...past eyelashes that rattled,
when we squinted in the sun,
o'er cheeks once red and rosy,
in the snows of winters gone.

past the corner of the mouth that
spoke to me and breathes my name
and 'round the chin that nestled in
the hands she keeps in flame

and sweetly, down a slope of neck
and to her chest whereby,
dissolves a rusted heart-shaped locket,
opening it's eye

song title / lyrics

"the imaginary world"

you're not alive, no
you're dreaming
you're sleeping
so it drags on...

the things you wanted
drifting by like shapes of clouds
you know you can't catch them
you climb to them anyhow...

why don't you drag me with you?
why won't you drag me with you?
why can't you drag me with you?
and show me this place...
