We Will Fall

Driving home today I was thinking a lot about cars, and how mine has gotten me through some shit, albeit it's not in the hottest aesthetic conditions. Someone would need a chisel to even write 'WASH ME' on the windows. Oh well. Cars. Metal. Dirt. Detroit. Michigan. You know how it goes.



Detroit, Michigan. Ann Arbor. I've never been, but I'd like to. If anything else, to be in the city where my second nickname, Motown, first came about would be truly an experience. I yield the city respect. Whenever I used to read about Iggy Pop's influences and how he would always mention noise and sounds of metal, humms and drones, screetches, the harshness of the automotive industry based city - it always allured me and guided me in the direction that perhaps there is something truly special and amazing underneath the filth. Not that filth is bad, I mean come on, I live in Los Angeles and all I can ever think about is Repo Man or Blade Runner.



So yeah, Im dedicating the following songs to Detroit. Ann Arbor. Michigan scum bags - you too are my friends. Strangers to me. But god damn man, you guys really thrash it up.

Strings

For now bass and lower guitar strings. But I'm thinking of other tunable materials...

Sound project cont'd

Wish I could post these pics all under one post but my phone doesn't allow it be so.

Chumbawamba!
To get you through the day.

The Sonic Tabla

Here is something I am in the process of completing. It's a simple build using guitar parts from a BC RICH Warlock guitar. My hopes are to basically make some what of a drone sound and in the least, make an interesting sound. I'm also thinking of not using traditional guitar/bass strings but I've put some on to make sure the pick-up still works post-guitar gutting. I'll post sounds later this week.

ABUNDANCE OF GUNS

With the everlasting war on terror, it seems some people are JUST barely starting to realize the effects of war on all fronts. The terms enemy and target are easily interchanged, humanity is lost and even more so our psyches are damaged with all of this senseless brutality.

Here's an article about the increase of SUICIDE among soldiers:

Generals Find Suicide a Frustrating Enemy

Spazz - Crush Kill Destroy
Abrasive Wheels - Banner of Hope
Discharge - Realities of War
Doom - Sold Out/War Crimes

Is This Thing On?

Well I hope so.

And I hope that I get the opportunity to share, explore, scream, and denounce all matters of the all mighty ear. And maybe the eye.

Im not talking ear wax, but perhaps the other kind of wax. Harr. Harr.

Thanx,

DEEGZ
