BWT31 - Puberty - Traffic

front cover

"When I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking—and talking about his feelings or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic—the sound of traffic—here on Sixth Avenue for instance, I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting, and I love the activity of sound."

The Writing On The Roof, Chapter VIII

With her pipe in lip, the man thought, "This is no thought to be had."

He announced out loudly, "Listen up! I have no statement to make."

A reporter asked, "This is not a question?"

The man stalled, her pipe curling queues in the air. He wondered, "This is not my pipe."

A nother reporter spoke a loud, "I wonder what you wonder there..."

"Wonder where?" Her pipe fizzled and popped in the man's face.

The first reporter repeated, "This is not a question?"

The man quipped, "This is not a press conference. Go now." A scent left her pipe and entered the man's nostril.

The nother reporter stated, "You are in denial."

The man grabbed her pipe and threw it in the water. The pipe exclaimed, "Hissssss!"

The crowd shouted, "Water moccasin!"

The man calmly spoke, "That is not a shoe."

The first reporter echoed himself, "This is not a question?"

The Writing On The Roof, Chapter VII

"There are more ways of killing a cat than choking it with cream..."

He heard a red feather tickle his tooth and he thought to himself sat down in a booth. Up came his buttons and back flipped his tie. Frog skinning soaked the crust of his pie. Please, please, please said the man and sorry to you. You're welcome and thanks and the pleasure's mine too. A mannersome chap and a chappersome man, left to bite crates, he'd rather Japan. I know what they're thinking. I've smelled it before. If you can't buy the battle, keep the war on the floor.

With his bald pate,
almost got in a punch-up.

BWT08 - Amoeba Kids - Jesus Raves

front cover

Long ago, back in the early years of the Totally Awesome Fest. Before the stadium seating, before the village of food vendors, before the platinum-record selling super-stars, before the 3-D hologram of Charlie Slick. There were a couple of dudes inside a pop-up tent making noise and beats in a backyard while tens of people stood around with their arms criss-crossed wondering who was on next. Mini CD released in 2007.
