Jason Falkner Photograph & (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Video) Song by Jon Brion

Jon Brion ~ The Strings That Tie To YOU ~




video Jon Brion


"Your Dissappearin' act, well, that's an old standby..."

...and so is the title and above quote;
borrowing words from an American Music
Club song title hopefully does not diminish
the "meaning" and import of them, as they
are meant in a self-referential way.

Relying on other's words, admittedly,
serves as a bit of a prophylactic, so to say...
but may they serve that purpose,
for now at least, as I find no affinity,
at present (if ever anymore) for the gift
(read: illusion) of original thought
and more particularly it's conveyance.

However feebly, half-heartedly and
ham-fisted-ly I attempt to force fit the
borrowed words, the perhaps out of
context, often ambiguous metaphor here,
the coyness, real, feigned or even imagined
there, the cliches, the over-riding lack of
structure throughout (and not to forget the
ambivalence masquerading as a ruse
or visa versa) I am sure as I can be, dear
reader, you will not be able to help taking
all of this as you please, including and
perhaps especially this admission,
in spite of, or even despite, all the might
of a forced empathy.

With this held (loosely i trust)
in mind...

Jason Falkner: Miss Understanding



Live at The Mohawk Austin Texas June 19th, 2010

Earlier Jason made reference
to his later 1950's "Alamo
Fiesta" guitar made in San Antonio,
which is 90 minutes by car from Austin,
saying it was coming home.

Here he looks down, chuckles and
smiles after I crack wise, telling him,
as he struggles with the out of tune
antique, to "Bring it home to
San Antone."

happy birthday old man

confetti by evan dando
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
The story's getting closer to the end
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've
He'd rather be alone than pretend
She just wanted him to love her but he didn't
He took to the woods and wandered in it
Walked along and on until they couldn't
Stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't
Walked along and on 'til his legs couldn't
Stole her voice to tell her that he wouldn't

Biog of the day.

(pictured john, john, maybe another john- and
most importantly here and for me john roderick
lead throat face etc. of "the steely dan of alaska"
et al et al ad infinitum
ad nauseum...)

(*photo credit some pinched tweet or
some such other social ntwxnonsense)

Quite by Happenstance, Most Actually.

Odd co-incidence, Indeed.

"Tomorrow night" as my nephew, best
friend and most frequent commenter
put it, "...God willing and the creek
don't rise, you will be standing with
some 'I was theres' listening to some
awkward aural heartbreak"



You really gotta meet my nephew.
And handsome too.

Frankly, between those variables
handsomeness notwithstanding, the odd, the
interesting, and good tenor of my day,
which is a whole 'nother story as somebody
once said, "it was a real kick in the head
the old queen ain't dead, twer 'er usband
instead"


cherubim, seraphim here in unison

(sad refrain even sadder the fact he did not
even marry well...)

I was not going to go see, the nephew here
interpolating, "The revered patron saint of
lo-fi and mental illness" especially after
seeing the not quite as low fidelity, not quite
as sad, and apparently not quite as mentally ill,
and honestly, more esteemed by me,
and less covered by anyone,
the "friendly minstrel that isn't very friendly"
(Truth told, he is quite nice. And did sign
a shirt that I brought in as well as another rock god's
(lower-case mine) c.d. image's faccia...




and who is only smashing minimally, like lemmings,
these days, the soft skulls of (college aged hipsters)
on the rocks of his of his bitter sarcasm...





ladies and gentlemen... the pieces of meat... erp
sebodah, sebadoh...erp, lou barlow, earlier this week, I wasn't going to attend, but alas and alack Transmission stopped
blowing its L on my T's and allowed me to purchase
one ticket for myself (p.i.l. for they are at will-call)


(all night, by the by)


long story short, after looking yesterday,
to see if by some odd chance they were gonna do
some more u.s. dates, posting the video below,
meandering into Waterloo Records, overhearing
that they had just gone on sale HERE,
i got 4 pavement tickets.

Nick Drake "Northern Sky"




"I scarcely know where to begin, though I sometimes
facetiously place the cause of it all to Charley
Furuseth’s credit. He kept a summer cottage in Mill
Valley, under the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, and
never occupied it except when he loafed through the
winter months and read Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to
rest his brain.
"from: The Sea Wolf ~ Jack London (1905)

The Statler Brothers "Flowers on the Wall"




Gang of Four "Damaged Goods"



Vangelis "One More Kiss, Dear"


more from the sea wolf: ""One kiss, dear love," I whispered.
"One kiss more before they come and rescue us from ourselves,” she completed, with a most adorable smile, whimsical as I had never seen it, for it was whimsical with love..."

What makes a hometown a hometown?
Is it where one was born? Is it where a person
passed through puberty and on into adulthood, or is
it a place where one first feels "at home",
truly at home in the world?

Sparing the autobiographical details, I
have settled on the latter of the three. The
place that I consider my true hometown, a
iplace with a sense of place, a home in the
world as opposed to the place where the umbilical
was cut, the place or places where I got
taller, and or first grew hair on or near my
"naughty bits", or of the any other incidental
criterion...

One day I hope to make "wherever I lay my hat"
one and the same.

Hell is the jazz guitarist noodling endlessly in the house next to me. His nimble fingers are racing up and down, down and up the scales, Such inspired improvisations!!! Hell.
