From the awesome Maynard lead Cleveland rooted/routed TOOL - from hands-down one of the greatest albums ever - Lateralus - very interesting website - they toured with a concert to die at... now, remember that the pieces fit:
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing, pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion disintegrating as it goes testing our communication the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down no fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over. To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between, And the circling is worth it. Finding beauty in the dissonance.
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away. Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting I've done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication
cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers between supposed brothers.

Crossroads, by the East Side's own Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, from E.1999 eternal - too bad we couldn't help them succeed here in Cleveland, and they couldn't keep it better together.
Here's one of the best songs of all time, about life in Cleveland still today, for so many:
Bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone Now tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to run When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you Tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to hide When judgment comes for you 'coz it's gonna come for you
Let's all bring it in for Wally, Eazy sees uncle Charlie Little Boo, God's got him and I'm gonna miss everybody I only roll with Bone my gang look to where they lay When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease well then please Bury me by my grand-grand and when you can, come follow me
God bless you, working on a plan to heaven Follow the Lord all 24/7 days, God is who we praise Even though the devil's all up in my face But he keeping me safe and in my place, say grace For the case to race with a chance to face the judge And I guess my soul won't budge Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs Oh, what can I do it's all about our family and how we roll Can I get a witness? Let it unfold We living our lives to eternal our soul
Hey, and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray Still we laced, now follow me roll stroll Whether is tell of his heaven Come let's go take a visit of people that's long gone Wally, Darris, Eazy, Terry, Boo It's steadily creeping up on the family Exactly how many days we got lasting While you laughing we're passing, passing away So y'all go rest y'all souls 'Coz I know I'ma meet you up at the crossroad Y'all know y'all forever got love from them Bone Thugs, baby
Now Eazy's long gone Really wish he could come home But when it's time to die Gotta go bye-bye All a thug could do is cry, cry Why they kill my dog and man I miss my uncle Charles y'all And he shoudn't be gone, in front of his home What they did to Boo was wrong Oh so wrong, oh so wrong Gotta hold on, gotta stay strong When the day comes Better believe bone got a shoulder you can lean on
Hey and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray Everday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Chorus See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads So you won't be lonely (4x)
And I'm gonna miss everybody And I'm gonna miss everybody when I'm gone (3x)
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven That's how we roll (3x) And I'm asking the good Lord "why?" and sigh It's I he told me we live to die
What's up with murder y'all, see my little cousin was hung Somebody was really wrong, everybody want to test us dawg Then Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall, you know why we sinning And Krayzie intended on ending it when it ends Wanna come again, again and again Now tell me whatcha gonna do

From one man who understands "Ohio"... Neil Young... next, check out "Living with War"... too bad he left Cleveland off his tour this summer (can you blame him?)...
"Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)"
Round and round and round we spin, To weave a wall to hem us in, It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes, To mend the tear that always shows. It won't be long, it won't be long.
It's hard enough losin' the paper illusion you've hidden inside, Without the confusion of findin' you're usin' the crutch of the lie To shelter your pride when you cry.
Round and round and round we spin, To weave a wall to hem us in, It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes, To mend the tear that always shows. It won't be long, it won't be long.
Now you're movin' too slow and wherever you go there's another beside. It's so hard to say no to yourself and it shows that you're losing inside, When you step on your pride and you cry.
Round and round and round we spin, To weave a wall to hem us in, It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes, To mend the tear that always shows. It won't be long, it won't be long.
How the hours will bend through the time that you spend till you turn to your eyes, And you see your best friend looking over the end and you turn to see why, And he looks in your eyes and he cries.
Round and round and round we spin, To weave a wall to hem us in, It won't be long, it won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes, To mend the tear that always shows. It won't be long, it won't be long.
Save the complaints For a party conversation. The world is loaded, It's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop...
No one... No one! No way! Gonna stop, Now; go!
Farm people, Book wavers, soul savers, Love preachers! Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop.
No one...
One come a day, the water will run, No man will stand for things that he had done... Hurrah! And the water will run... One come a day, the water will run, No man will stand for things that he had done... Hurrah! And the water will run... Will Run! Will Run!
Gimmie that! Gimmie that - your automobile, Turn off that smokestack And that goddamn radio Hum... along with me... Hum along with the t.v.

For an ideal NEO July Fourth, warm and sunny, birds singing, flowers blooming, picnics in the grass with friends and family and watching fireworks in the evening, Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumble Bee" seems perfect to me. Classical music is so NEO!

This is personal choice, inspired by the great Dylan documentary on PBS rerun today - I love Dylan and he makes me think of my older son, so is all good, and his lyrics and music are as good as has ever been... and in them I find a message to my former partner Peter Holmes, a Frankie Lee, and I hope he learns from this Judas Priest before life takes him out in jest, everything revealed...
The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
They were the best of friends. So when Frankie Lee needed money one day, Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens And placed them on a footstool Just above the plotted plain, Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy, My loss will be your gain."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down And put his fingers to his chin, But with the cold eyes of Judas on him, His head began to spin. "Would ya please not stare at me like that," he said, "It's just my foolish pride, But sometimes a man must be alone And this is no place to hide."
Well, Judas, he just winked and said, "All right, I'll leave you here, But you'd better hurry up and choose Which of those bills you want, Before they all disappear." "I'm gonna start my pickin' right now, Just tell me where you'll be."
Judas pointed down the road And said, "Eternity!" "Eternity?" said Frankie Lee, With a voice as cold as ice. "That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity, Though you might call it 'Paradise.'"
"I don't call it anything," Said Frankie Lee with a smile. "All right," said Judas Priest, "I'll see you after a while."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down, Feelin' low and mean, When just then a passing stranger Burst upon the scene, Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler, Whose father is deceased? Well, if you are, There's a fellow callin' you down the road And they say his name is Priest."
"Oh, yes, he is my friend," Said Frankie Lee in fright, "I do recall him very well, In fact, he just left my sight." "Yes, that's the one," said the stranger, As quiet as a mouse, "Well, my message is, he's down the road, Stranded in a house."
Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked, He dropped ev'rything and ran Until he came up to the spot Where Judas Priest did stand. "What kind of house is this," he said, "Where I have come to roam?" "It's not a house," said Judas Priest, "It's not a house . . . it's a home."
Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled, He soon lost all control Over ev'rything which he had made While the mission bells did toll. He just stood there staring At that big house as bright as any sun, With four and twenty windows And a woman's face in ev'ry one.
Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee With a soulful, bounding leap, And, foaming at the mouth, He began to make his midnight creep. For sixteen nights and days he raved, But on the seventeenth he burst Into the arms of Judas Priest, Which is where he died of thirst.
No one tried to say a thing When they took him out in jest, Except, of course, the little neighbor boy Who carried him to rest. And he just walked along, alone, With his guilt so well concealed, And muttered underneath his breath, "Nothing is revealed."
Well, the moral of the story, The moral of this song, Is simply that one should never be Where one does not belong. So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin', Help him with his load, And don't go mistaking Paradise For that home across the road.

From the greatest band in Cleveland History, Pere Ubu, still a major force in the art music world, led by Clevelander now Londoner David Thomas, who is just plain amazing in many ways... they still make a point to stop in Cleveland when they tour - I saw the concert for the timeless album I pulled these lyrics from, Dub Housing, in 1979, seen them in SFCA and NYNY, and I saw David just a few years ago for the amazing Rocket From the Tombs show... and they'll be back with another Rocket From The Tombs in a few weeks - WOW... start the Ubu Dance Party now
Ubu Dance Party
I did not see the darkened sky I did not feel the pressure drop I walked down the primrose path I strolled along the garden walk The rain fell and washed away I built on sand I got swept away
I went out and stirred the air (My soup was steeped in strange ideas) I breathed in, I breathed out I breathed in, I breathed out The rain fell and washed away I built on sand I got swept away
I went out and looked around I went out And I came back! I walked down the primrose path I strolled along the garden walk The rain fell and washed away My bed of sand got swept away
A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful. Is this a test? It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on. Draining patience. drain vitality. this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.
But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here. But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here.
I'm gonna wait it out
If there were no rewards to reap, no loving embrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now.
I'm gonna wait it out
If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now.
I still may. And I still may. Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this...
If there were no rewards to reap, no loving embrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now. And I still may. And I still may. And I still may.
I'm gonna wait it out. I'm gonna wait it out. Gonna wait it out. Gonna wait it out.

Best of the best - Velvet Underground (1969) - lyrics by Lou Reed:
Beginning to see the light
Well Im beginning to see the light. Well Im beginning to see the light. Some people work very hard, But still they never get it right. Well Im beginning to see the light. Well Im beginning to see the light. Now Im beginning to see the light.
Wine in the morning And some breakfast at night. Well Im beginning to see the light. Here we go again Playing the fool again. Here we go again Acting hard again. Well Im beginning to see the light. Well Im beginning to see the light. Now Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light. Im beginning to see the light. I wore my teeth in my hands So I could mess the hair of the night Well Im beginning to see the light. Hey Im beginning to see the light. I met myself in a dream And I just wanna tell you - everything was alright Im beginning to see the light. Here comes two of you, Which one will you chose? One is black, one is blue. Dont look just what to do. Well Im beginning to see the light. Well Im beginning to see the light. Now Im beginning to see the light.
Well Im beginning to see the light. Well Im beginning to see the light. Some people work very hard But still they never get it right Well Im beginning to see the light. There are problems in these times But none of them are mine Baby, Im beginning to see the light. Here we go again, I thought that you were my friend. Here we go again, I thought that you were my friend. How does it feel to be loved? How does it feel to be loved?
Mom threw me out til I get some pants that fit She just don't approve of my strange kind of wit I get so excited I always gotta lose it, then they pack me off & make me take the cure But I don't need a cure, don't need a cure don't need a cure, need a final solution
Final Solution is considered to be one of post-punk band Pere Ubu's finest songs. It was their second single, and proved to be a massive success, helping propel them to a recording contract. The song itself dates back to the precursor of Pere Ubu, Rocket From The Tombs. When the members of Rocket From The Tombs split into the artistic Pere Ubu, and the punkThe Dead Boys, Ubu took the songs Final Solution, Life Stinks, and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo. It ended up on the set list when Rocket From The Tombs reunited in 2003.
The song itself, however, deals with a case of suburban isolation. In Ohio, during the early 70s, the generation gap had begun to grow. While the rust belt began to form, disaffected youth took over the unwanted, abandoned downtowns of cities like Akron, and Cleveland. They helped rise to a new culture, spawning art and music movements. Music was especially prominent in the Ohio scene, creating some of the most legendary bands of any era, Devo, Pere Ubu, The Numbers, The Dead Boys, Rubber City Rebels, and a host more that never made it.
Of course, outside of the cities, in depressed suburbs, teenagers living with their folks were unaware of what was brewing in town. Either through their own ignorance, or parental disapproval, there was a rift between the youth of the suburbs and the cities. When someone in the suburbs was turned on to the growing scene, it was liable to distance them from not only their parents, but their peers as well. The lyrics of Final Solution deal with the narrator's reactions to his peers, his parents, and the world at large.
Because he's weird, the girls aren't interested. He stays out at night, and is pale. He doesn't understand the reaction, either. He just wants to have a little bit of fun! Even worse, is the reaction of his parents. He's thrown out for flaunting the fashion of the punk scene. They try and pack him off to military school to make him conform to society's demands. The lyrics draw a parallel between parental disapproval and Hitler's Final Solution to deal with the Jews. Just taking care of one punk isn't enough. They had to destroy the society.
In the end, our narrator sneaks to a concert, and escapes the drudgery of suburban life. He is among his own kind, in another world. This is his own final solution. It is a story in which any teenager who has felt ostracized for being in a subculture can relate to. Be they a geek or a goth or a punk, Final Solution is a timeless classic that will always speak to the disaffected.

The song The W.A.N.D. Will Negates All Defeat
"(You've got the power in there) (Waving your wand in the air)
Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world Telling us all it's them who's in charge of it all I've got a tricked out magic stick that will make them all fall We've got the power now, motherfuckers; that's where it belongs
You've got that right (Power in there) You know that it's... (Wand in the air)
They've got their weapons to solve all their questions, they don't know what it's for (Cause they don't know what it's for) Why can't they see it's not power, just greed, to just want more and more? (Just want more and more) I got a plan and it's here in my hand but it's all made of rights We're the enforcers, the sorcerer's orphans, and we know why we fight (And we know why we fight)
You've got that right (You've got the power in there) (Waving your wand in the air)
(You've got the power in there) (You've got the power in there) (You've got the power in there) (Waving your wand in the air)

Since the earlies days of Roxy Music through all music-time since, Brian Eno has been one of my favorite forces. The following song, Eno acknowledges as a self-portrait (inteview note floows lyrics), is perfect for NEO and REALNEO today... "Lay My Love"
I am the crow of desperation I need no fact or validation I spin relentless variation I scramble in the dust of a failing nation I was concealed Now I am stirring And I have waited for this time.
I am the termite of temptation I multiply and fly my population I am the wheel I am the turning And I will lay my love around you.
I am the sea of permutation I live beyond interpretation I scramble all the names and the combinations [I] penetrate the walls of explanation I am the will I am the burning And I will lay my love around you.
I am the will I am the yearning And I will lay my love around you.
Interview notes about the song:
References:
Michael Engelbrecht: You have written some kind of ironic 'self portrait' in LAY MY LOVE? And it's a love song, too.
Brian Eno: Well, it's quite interesting, that you are the first person that noticed that it's a self portrait (laughs), which was so obvious to me. But I never said it to anyone, because I don't like to tell people things like that. Nobody else ever mentioned it. And I mean, it says: every line begins "I am", "I", "I", "I", "I", "I". So that song was kind of a joke on myself. I've always said in the past, I don't like to write songs in the first person singular. There are so many rock songs with "I do this", "I want", "I need", "I woke up this morning", "I gotta get next to you, girl" - that kind of thing, "I gotta feel your body". And I've always said, I don't want to write songs like that, 'relationship songs' I call them. So I had this idea, I didn't want to write songs that started with "I". I didn't want to write songs that ended with "you" - that was the other thing I didn't want. And I didn't want "love" in between. So I didn't want "I love you" as a message, how ever it was filled out and disguised. I didn't want that as a message.
And so, partly through John Cale's influence, he said "Oh, come on. Just do it!" And so I thought "Well, maybe I break my own rules for a change. And not only will I use the word "I", I use it at the beginning of every single sentence!" (laughs) So I realized this was going to be some kind of a love song. But I thought "How could you do something with the love song form that is maybe original?" The first part of the song that I had written was "I'm gonna lay my love around you", which in English has a nice feeling: it's like someone laying a bouquet of flowers around somebody else, or laying a cloak over the shoulders, or something like that - this notion of surrounding someone. But I thought "That's nice, but it's too sweet alone, it's too simply romantic". So these other images starting coming up, and they were kind of nice, because they undermine the romantic quality. You start thinking "Would I really like to have this person laying his love around me, this person who is 'the termite of temptation' and 'the crow of desperation'?"
And then, of course, I should say, there are all the autobiographical parts of it. The way that the song is written is described within the song: "I spin relentless combinations", "I multiply and fly my population", because within the song I'm spinning, I'm shuffling the same cards over and over again. So it's not only an autobiographical song, it's a - what do they call it - a self-referential song.

Tax junkie CPAC - Community Partnership for Arts and Culture - is on the Cuyahoga County art junk again, so I thought this was the perfect song for the day...
I dont know just where Im going But Im gonna try for the kingdom, if I can cause it makes me feel like Im a man When I put a spike into my vein And Ill tell ya, things arent quite the same When Im rushing on my run And I feel just like jesus son And I guess that I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know
I have made the big decision Im gonna try to nullify my life cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the droppers neck When Im closing in on death And you cant help me not, you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet silly talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that Id sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that In a sailors suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man can not be free Of all of the evils of this town And of himself, and those around Oh, and I guess that I just dont know Oh, and I guess that I just dont know
Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, its my wife and its my life Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then Im better off and dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really dont care anymore About all the jim-jims in this town And all the politicians makin crazy sounds And everybody puttin everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
cause when the smack begins to flow Then I really dont care anymore Ah, when the heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head Then thank God that Im as good as dead Then thank your God that Im not aware And thank God that I just dont care And I guess I just dont know And I guess I just dont know
Dont fade away
My brown-eyed girl
Come walk with me
Ill fill your heart with joy
And well dance through our isolation
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
Turning thoughts to the here and everafter
Consuming fears in our fiery halos
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Ive heard that innocence
Has led us all astray
But dont let them make you and break you
The world is filled with their broken empty
Dreams
Silence is their only virtue
Locked away inside their silent screams
But for now
Let us dance away
This starry night
Filled with the glow of fiery stars
And with the dawn
Our sun will rise
Bringing a symphony of bird cries
Dont bring me down now
Let me stay here for awhile
You know lifes too short
Let me bathe here in your smile
Im transcending
The fall from the garden

NEO in Schism, Tool makes the pieces fit
From the awesome Maynard lead Cleveland rooted/routed TOOL - from hands-down one of the greatest albums ever - Lateralus - very interesting website - they toured with a concert to die at... now, remember that the pieces fit:
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
no fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication
cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers
between supposed brothers.
And I know the pieces fit.

12. Change The World Featuring Big B (ra | wav)
Raisin' hustlas, thieves, and prostitutes.
Young homie think before you shoot
Murderaaaaah.
Where will our children go,
When there no (nowhere, no!) place anywhere they can go?
And trouble may come and some time
You'll get pulled over by one-time
And when in 1999 rewinds didn even make any strides
Murder all around the whole world is nausiating
Everybody hatin' everybody over-rated
Why everybody actin' agitated?
I thought we graduated back in the saddle
Waitin' (board) aboard the battle station
Hation is a birth defect, and you know ain't nobody perfect,
And when the curtains close, open up the door, no more, no more.
See we's losing this world we love.
And it looks like the sinninwon't end.
So I'm reachinhigh up above.

Crossroads
Crossroads, by the East Side's own Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, from E.1999 eternal - too bad we couldn't help them succeed here in Cleveland, and they couldn't keep it better together.
Here's one of the best songs of all time, about life in Cleveland still today, for so many:
Bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone bone
Now tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to run
When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you
Tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to hide
When judgment comes for you 'coz it's gonna come for you
Let's all bring it in for Wally, Eazy sees uncle Charlie
Little Boo, God's got him and I'm gonna miss everybody
I only roll with Bone my gang look to where they lay
When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say
Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease well then please
Bury me by my grand-grand and when you can, come follow me
God bless you, working on a plan to heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7 days, God is who we praise
Even though the devil's all up in my face
But he keeping me safe and in my place, say grace
For the case to race with a chance to face the judge
And I guess my soul won't budge
Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs
Oh, what can I do it's all about our family and how we roll
Can I get a witness? Let it unfold
We living our lives to eternal our soul
Hey, and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
Still we laced, now follow me roll stroll
Whether is tell of his heaven
Come let's go take a visit of people that's long gone
Wally, Darris, Eazy, Terry, Boo
It's steadily creeping up on the family
Exactly how many days we got lasting
While you laughing we're passing, passing away
So y'all go rest y'all souls
'Coz I know I'ma meet you up at the crossroad
Y'all know y'all forever got love from them Bone Thugs, baby
Now Eazy's long gone
Really wish he could come home
But when it's time to die
Gotta go bye-bye
All a thug could do is cry, cry
Why they kill my dog and man
I miss my uncle Charles y'all
And he shoudn't be gone, in front of his home
What they did to Boo was wrong
Oh so wrong, oh so wrong
Gotta hold on, gotta stay strong
When the day comes
Better believe bone got a shoulder you can lean on
Hey and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Everday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Chorus
See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely (4x)
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss everybody when I'm gone (3x)
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll (3x)
And I'm asking the good Lord "why?" and sigh
It's I he told me we live to die
What's up with murder y'all, see my little cousin was hung
Somebody was really wrong, everybody want to test us dawg
Then Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall, you know why we sinning
And Krayzie intended on ending it when it ends
Wanna come again, again and again
Now tell me whatcha gonna do
Can somebody anybody tell me why?
Hey, can somebody anybody tell me why we die, we die?
I don't wanna die
Oh so wrong, oh wrong
Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)
From one man who understands "Ohio"... Neil Young... next, check out "Living with War"... too bad he left Cleveland off his tour this summer (can you blame him?)...
"Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)"
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
It's hard enough losin'
the paper illusion
you've hidden inside,
Without the confusion
of findin' you're usin'
the crutch of the lie
To shelter your pride when you cry.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
Now you're movin' too slow
and wherever you go
there's another beside.
It's so hard to say no
to yourself and it shows
that you're losing inside,
When you step on your pride and you cry.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
How the hours will bend
through the time that you spend
till you turn to your eyes,
And you see your best friend
looking over the end
and you turn to see why,
And he looks in your eyes and he cries.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.

"Flight of the Bumble Bee"
For an ideal NEO July Fourth, warm and sunny, birds singing, flowers blooming, picnics in the grass with friends and family and watching fireworks in the evening, Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumble Bee" seems perfect to me. Classical music is so NEO!
The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
This is personal choice, inspired by the great Dylan documentary on PBS rerun today - I love Dylan and he makes me think of my older son, so is all good, and his lyrics and music are as good as has ever been... and in them I find a message to my former partner Peter Holmes, a Frankie Lee, and I hope he learns from this Judas Priest before life takes him out in jest, everything revealed...

Ubu dance party preview for Rocket From The Tombs!
From the greatest band in Cleveland History, Pere Ubu, still a major force in the art music world, led by Clevelander now Londoner David Thomas, who is just plain amazing in many ways... they still make a point to stop in Cleveland when they tour - I saw the concert for the timeless album I pulled these lyrics from, Dub Housing, in 1979, seen them in SFCA and NYNY, and I saw David just a few years ago for the amazing Rocket From the Tombs show... and they'll be back with another Rocket From The Tombs in a few weeks - WOW... start the Ubu Dance Party now
Song of the day: The Patient - Tool
Always #1 for making me patient - NEO rooted Tool
THE PATIENT
A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful.
Is this a test?
It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience. drain vitality.
this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.
But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here.
But I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. And I'm still right here.
I'm gonna wait it out
If there were no rewards to reap,
no loving embrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
I'm gonna wait it out
If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
I still may. And I still may.
Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this...
If there were no rewards to reap,
no loving embrace to see me through this tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may. And I still may. And I still may.
I'm gonna wait it out.

This is one of may fav' songs of a fav' album by fav' Janes's A (addiction, duh), and it is amazing thet the lyrics have been perverted my society - the album version is below, with the "Some People Should Die" rant, but when you do a normal search for the lyrics, at dozens of sites, even official, you find a cut-down version... how lame is this society?

Some people should die
That's just unconscious knowledge
Because, because the bigger you get

Song of the day: of Velvet Underground
Best of the best - Velvet Underground (1969) - lyrics by Lou Reed:
Beginning to see the light
Disrupt IT
Song of the day: Final Solution
Final Solution is considered to be one of post-punk band Pere Ubu's finest songs. It was their second single, and proved to be a massive success, helping propel them to a recording contract. The song itself dates back to the precursor of Pere Ubu, Rocket From The Tombs. When the members of Rocket From The Tombs split into the artistic Pere Ubu, and the punk The Dead Boys, Ubu took the songs Final Solution, Life Stinks, and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo. It ended up on the set list when Rocket From The Tombs reunited in 2003.
The song itself, however, deals with a case of suburban isolation. In Ohio, during the early 70s, the generation gap had begun to grow. While the rust belt began to form, disaffected youth took over the unwanted, abandoned downtowns of cities like Akron, and Cleveland. They helped rise to a new culture, spawning art and music movements. Music was especially prominent in the Ohio scene, creating some of the most legendary bands of any era, Devo, Pere Ubu, The Numbers, The Dead Boys, Rubber City Rebels, and a host more that never made it.
Of course, outside of the cities, in depressed suburbs, teenagers living with their folks were unaware of what was brewing in town. Either through their own ignorance, or parental disapproval, there was a rift between the youth of the suburbs and the cities. When someone in the suburbs was turned on to the growing scene, it was liable to distance them from not only their parents, but their peers as well. The lyrics of Final Solution deal with the narrator's reactions to his peers, his parents, and the world at large.
Because he's weird, the girls aren't interested. He stays out at night, and is pale. He doesn't understand the reaction, either. He just wants to have a little bit of fun! Even worse, is the reaction of his parents. He's thrown out for flaunting the fashion of the punk scene. They try and pack him off to military school to make him conform to society's demands. The lyrics draw a parallel between parental disapproval and Hitler's Final Solution to deal with the Jews. Just taking care of one punk isn't enough. They had to destroy the society.
In the end, our narrator sneaks to a concert, and escapes the drudgery of suburban life. He is among his own kind, in another world. This is his own final solution. It is a story in which any teenager who has felt ostracized for being in a subculture can relate to. Be they a geek or a goth or a punk, Final Solution is a timeless classic that will always speak to the disaffected.
Final Solution can be found on the Pere Ubu singles compilation, Terminal Tower, and in the box set Datapanik In The Year Zero.

W.A.N.D.
my nomination for best neo song. The W.A.N.D. by the flaming lips
these crazies headlined blossom at the innaugural kuyahoga festival. it was a steamy feverish night that broke after a thunderstorm
unfortunately, i had to work, but the freetimes reported and the photo of wayne coyne says it all
It looks as if I can no longer upload files, so please email me if you want to me to email the mp3. oUtStAnDInG!!
The song The W.A.N.D.
Will Negates All Defeat
"(You've got the power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)
Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world
Telling us all it's them who's in charge of it all
I've got a tricked out magic stick that will make them all fall
We've got the power now, motherfuckers; that's where it belongs
You've got that right
(Power in there)
You know that it's...
(Wand in the air)
They've got their weapons to solve all their questions, they don't know what it's for
(Cause they don't know what it's for)
Why can't they see it's not power, just greed, to just want more and more?
(Just want more and more)
I got a plan and it's here in my hand but it's all made of rights
We're the enforcers, the sorcerer's orphans, and we know why we fight
(And we know why we fight)
You've got that right
(You've got the power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)
(You've got the power in there)
(You've got the power in there)
(You've got the power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)
You've got that right
You know that it's..."
from the freetimes review:
"Coyne's intuitions were right: When he saw the line-up for Kuyahoga, he said he thought, "Fuck, that's gonna be the greatest festival anyone can put on."

Dont know what I want but
I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passer by cos i
I wanna be anarchy !
No dogs body
Anarchy for the u.k its coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a trafic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme cos i
I wanna be anarchy !
In the city
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy I use anarchy cos i
I wanna be anarchy !
The only way to be !
Is this the m.p.l.a
Or is this the u.d.a
Or is this the i.r.a
I thought it was the u.k or just
Another country
Another council tenancy
I wanna be an anarchist
Oh what a name
Get pissed destroy !

Dead Can Dance - Don't Fade Away
When I saw a friend at Ed hauser's funeral she said "They Killed Him", and that is certainly true.
To those who killed Ed, I believe his spirit lives on - the Dead Can Dance - and Ed shall not fade away, and has the last dance.
Dead Can Dance - "Don't Fade Away"...
