Holograms of Panic and Calm

Who’s to say what is and isn’t real any more? You had asked to borrow my lab notes, here they are:

The wordbox on your shoulders

Immediate state change

The desire of elegant simplicty

Ornamental greeble

Having to open Schrödinger’s box yet again

Collapsing on autopilot

Dayscheming

Allegorical experiments

Perseverance beyond all reason

A farewell before waking

Zoning out and tuning in

We’ve seen it all before

Skilled at eyecraft

Psychically clumsy

Oblique dramaturgies

Pure Acceleration

I’m in a weird limbo at the moment but I’m still broadcasting from the other side.

Thinking about thinking less

The oddest flower can be the most entrancing

Shocking deltas

Pump Up the Volume into the Abyss

Ship rips

Weeding out the misfires

Flesh piston

A spine on both sides

Idea farming

Quantum correctness

Choral integrity

Hidden bliss

Prismic gradients

Intolerable sensitivity

Drake and his equation

Dipping the tip

A mild winder

What’s the difference between sweet rain and slow motion?

Everything begins with the bass and the drums

Some Archived WRFL Radio Shows

WRFL is the University of Kentucky’s student radio station here in Lexington and it has played a significant role in my life over the years since it first started back when I was in high school. I had a weekly radio show there from 2006 to 2016 and also served for a while as the RPM/Dance Playbox Director. Five years of that run were an all-vinyl Dubstep show called The Subset (from 2006 – 2011).

I recently have been going back and listening to some of my old shows and thought it might be fun to share some of them. Also, it’s an exercise to exorcise some of my perfectionist demons. Until now, I’ve never shared any of my shows because I’ve been too embarrassed of my mistakes in mixing but I’m realizing that it is important to also acknowledge my successes so there you are. I may add more in the future but, for now, here’s one from almost exactly 10 years ago.

The Subset July 8, 2009 (10PM – Midnight):

Also, earlier this year, Brian Connors Manke invited me to guest on his Alumni Show so I thought it would be fun to throw that up here too. It’s a decent representation of a bunch of the other genres that I’m into.

Push Pins on a Spatiotemporal Map

Markers and snapshots of my progress across the territory

Delicate warming

Blind, chasing light

Fantasy and longing

And yet, for a dream of her attentive eye, you’d throw so many other dreams away

Rabbit tracks in the fresh snow

She was an idea junky with esoteric, refined knowledge

Blooming in my bloodstream

The loneliness engine

The impulse travels and the hand grabs

Expand your abilities on the periphery

Deadzones and dirtmaps

We exchanged exquisite glances and my cynicism died a little bit

Do You Remember?

Of course you do.

How many roentgens, then?

Feeding the lion

Eyes dancing across one another in the listening booth

Don’t let him get his hopes up

Too-easily satisfied with theory

Touching delicate fingertips

The attraction matrix

Razor blades on fire

Fear and avoidance

Now accepting attention

Hidden knowledge and secret power

Vapor at the gates of the romantic void

Missing – but not missed – grudges

Spectral Threads

Loosening and fraying…

Paint chips floating on the surface of the lake

Intrepid attempts at joy

Unforgettable tactics

Stacking regimens

Natural lift

Piano gangs

I saw it and it didn’t matter

Chordal vision

P.D. Ouspensky as Jack Parsons

Chanting a spell

Soft aftershocks

More fuel for the flames from which to feed

Hello again, The Ache

Floating in the warm currents
