Jiminy Cricket

The Crickets

Tom Waits (on Robert Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."


Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright:
the spiral light of Venus
rising first and shining best,
From the northwest corner
of a brand-new crescent moon
crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune

Wilco Loves You

So Out of Tune

Following in the footsteps of Listen to the Dead and Phish Tracks, here's a Wilco website where you can stream what appears to be the majority of their shows: http://sooutoftune.org/
Looks like it also includes solo shows and side projects by various members. 


Rejoice, Wilco fans! The Spiritfather has bestowed upon us a great bounty of kind tunes to groove in the fields to. And all was well throughout the land.

Drugs are bad

The Rational Choices of Crack Addicts

 “Eighty to 90 percent of people are not negatively affected by drugs, but in the scientific literature nearly 100 percent of the reports are negative,” Dr. Hart said. “There’s a skewed focus on pathology. We scientists know that we get more money if we keep telling Congress that we’re solving this terrible problem. We've played a less than honorable role in the war on drugs.”
