Maxilla Blue November 21st

fall to winter…

Thinking about it…

updated bailouts

I updated my bailout section with links to the “Quid Pro Quo” digital/vinyl release. As well as mp3 versions of “Truth of all Evil” on cdbaby.com. Still trying to figure out some video content updates.

A few things on the horizon for me production wise.

I am working with Asphate and Touchnice to really finish up the Maxilla Blue project. It seems that once we hit a groove with it, things just pour out and we will probably have all of the lyrics recorded by the end of the month. Release date is up in the air, as we don’t know how far the production will go.

Also, expect a release of GaiDen Gadema’s “The Jim Kelly Acquisition” instrumentals before the end of the year. This will feature all of the Aeon Grey and Bashir produced tracks, as well as a few new exclusives that were not on the album. This should round out well and be something funky to keep you warm through this cold Iowa Winter.

awake and working, determined to break this fate from our purpose/ surfing deterrents inching face to face towards our terms ends/ for a saviors sake satiate the ignored flesh/ can’t save an ape in a cage that’s the plague we paint for illusions/ can bear greed smother the canary?/ rearranged our faith to shape our servants/ ideological/ but none of these ideas seem logical/ a candle in the dark disappears behind the obstacles/

As an artist in Iowa I have become numb to disappointments.  The music scene here seems to shift as much as the weather and expectations are almost impossible to maintain. And it can all be magnified even more so being involved in hip hop, and it’s relative forms of music and art. It is a strange feeling fighting against the distortions that still linger from well over 10 years ago. Perhaps I am just running out of ammo, going numb in the fight for something that’s roots are becoming brittle with age.

I spent most of the morning today putting together some of what might be the final writings for Lead Breakfast. I am hoping that I can now force myself into record mode and honestly get this thing finished up by the end of the month. Then start the circus of things that matter little to me.

samoa cold crush

don’t like the public or strobe lighting substance/ no light when a low life’s dug in/ dungeon hacksaw curmudgeon/ slack jaw disgust and rack raw the grey matter/ busted/ rusted to rustic depends on where you stake your bum camp/

i don’t tango with the nova/ on a soapbox strangling your cobra/ stones to break the stained glass soul and mumble opa/

November.

LeadBreakfast.

IOWA

I uploaded the Iowa song from MarionetteWorkBench. One of my older songs, that if I could find the instrumental for, I might actually perform again at some point.

The song was a collection of thoughts I had during the time making MWB. It seems in Iowa that a lot of people are down on themselves and their situations, even though everything here is relatively good. Something about this place however makes us very pessimistic. Iowa was my attempt to move past the conflict and start to do something.

Foundation bricks are heavy, and Iowa winters tend to break the concrete.

What’s Left of Right?

I finished the second verse for this song this morning. Going to record it sometime this weekend. Still working on a couple of other parts for the song, but it is turning out to be one of my best.

we exist fears heightened/ pacing the edge/ basically dead/ reanimated with no basis for breath/ in a world where the staples are stretched thin across our waste and our mess/ we smoke despair laced with our stress/ and safety’s a stretch/ they walked a bomb past your agency’s desk/ overhaul the way a patriot acts/ unbelievable/ believing what we pay for defense/ that some would even hope that change is what’s next/ we’re holding on like the undead/ self embalmed barnacles bartering laissez faire against a guns sight/ tomorrow’s martyr’s march like life ain’t fair/ carpe diem/ so what’s right?
