He Knows you Know...
What are you listening to this evening? I am listening to Script for a Jester's Tear while I write.

He Knows you Know (Marillion)

Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wall
Singing psychedelic praises to the depths of a china bowl
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
You should have listened to the priest at the confession
When he offered you the sacred bread
He knows, you know, he knows, you know
H e knows, you know, but he's got problems

Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind
Chilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blind
You've got venom in you stomach, you've got poison in your head
When your conscience whispered, the vein lines stiffened
You were walking with the dead

He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know
He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows, you know
But he's got problems, problems, problems

He knows... slash wrist, scarlet fever, crawled under your bathroom door
Pumping arteries ooze their problems through the gap that the razor tore
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
You should have listened to your analyst's questions
When you lay on his leather bed

He knows, you know, he knows, you know
H he knows, you know, but he's got problems

Blank eyes, purple fever, streaming through the frosted pane
You learned your lesson far to late from the links in a chemist chain
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
You should have stayed at home and talked with father
Listen to the lies he fed

He knows, you know, he knows, you know,
He knows, you know, but he's got problems
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know
He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows, you know
You know, you know, you know

2. LOL feels like it
I tend to be one-album-oriented when I write.

3. Me, too.
Haven't written much lately, but I do the same thing. Guess if I get back on the horse -- I have a long-form freeverse poem/story I really need to get back to (finished it in November and it's been resting for six months), I'll have to find something to weld into my CD player.

I remember the first time I actually took writing fiction seriously, back in the early 80s. The album I got stuck on was Kim Mitchell's 'Akimbo Alogo' -- it's a great album, don't know if you've even heard of Kim. If not, he's a Canadian guitarist who used to be in Max Webster. They did a duet with Rush called 'Battle Scar' that was on the last Max Webster album, 'Universal Juveniles' -- which I've also played repeatedly.

Now, when I drop something in, it's usually Sloan. I haven't beaten their new one to death yet, maybe I'll kick that in over the holiday weekend and get some editing done!

Time for bed -- but I just had to nick in here and blow you some shit about that, since you'd just posted about it over the weekend. Good luck with the writing!

4. thanks
I started with freeverse poetry way back 15 or 16 years ago, and used to write almost exclusively to Dead Kennedy's. Lately I've alternated between Quadrophenia, Kronos Quartet and Philip Glass' Dracula score, and Script.

I am always writing something. If only I was as diligent about marketing my stuff as I was about creating it... then I might get somewhere.

Sleep well!
