THE FUNERAL


why is it that we rejoice at a birth 
and grieve at a funeral ... 
It is because we are not the person involved

mark twain

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind 'the funeral'

no one knew ... what was in the will
except his lawyer

he's worth billions, a basket case - pill popper widow (write-off) 
2 smart sons/bros (on the make) who have never worked a day 
one (estranged) evil uncle (hot mistress) and well ... Jacob
the oldest brother - not the sharpest knife in the drawer 
and thus the VW ... that he washes every day
long story/doesn't matter
anticipating his tidy sum
right


could go any number of ways
depending on who does what
to whom

in this undisclosed interim


(ok my interpretation)

HUNGER GAMES


this is the moment 
when we must come together to save this planet
let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world 
where the oceans rise and famine spreads 
and terrible storms devastate our lands

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind 'hunger games'

thanks for getting this far
this one is 2 years old
I found it trolling the bottom of my youtube channel

I don't think I ever posted it
no record of it in my blog that goes back ages
I listened to it and thought "wow - it's not bad"
resurrecting it and now officially here

to sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub
for in this sleep of death what dreams may come

VALLIAS


that pleasure which is at once the most pure
the most elevating and the most intense, is derived
I maintain, from the contemplation 
of the beautiful

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind Vallias

forgive me Father Vallias
for I have sinned

ok, for those of you out there
wondering if I'm beginning to lose it
ok, guilty pleasure

how did I get here?  ... don't ask
losing it?  ... maybe, just maybe

sometimes I see things, I shouldn't be seeing
thinking things, I shouldn't be thinking
doing things, I shouldn't be doing
but it's always been like that
ever since I can remember

getting to express it ... like this is a blast


I just found the sounds, then the pictures in youtube, joined them
and started remixing everything, together
in a semi-random fashion at first
forming a new picture
a few fine touches
the final buff
blog it

just fun

being able to scream in my dream
whilst watching her moving like that?

cathartic

ØFDREAM - TRILOGY




Ø F D R E A M  -  T R G Y
volume up


in May 2019 a gifted young Parisian DJ took his life
he went by the name - øfdream

he had/has very little internet presence
stumbling across a YouTube clip w/his beats on it
masterfully executed







it was like they were unfinished pieces
brilliant and yet crying out for closure
safe to say that he started 
and I finished them

I took 3 of my favourite tracks from the 12 or so I found
remixed and did videos for each
