okay. after you buy the prime okay I’ve been taking every advantage of free shipping but that comes with serious caveat. one it gets to your house but 90% it gets around your house like next door or outside or two weeks ago my wife actually had to confront the driver who is just a dude. and had to stop him and ask if he had my shit. and he was like said he wasn’t ready to deliver it to me. even it was in the truck or car with him…. what a waste of time.

so I’m buying all these Art Supplies like nobodies business and I bought T shirts And My Flash Gordon T shirt the logo Sucked it too small and the Doctor Strange. The Marvel Comic book T shirt. It Smells of Vinegar. which is the most foul thing you could smell.

So You think Craig stop…. No I get these Art Pens that the Caps are stuck on the pen and you pull the cap and you get black Ink all over your hands. half the pens nice the others … Please!!!

Somebody so stupid me I order 2 pads of black paper, a collector Tin of Black Window Coloring Pencils More Water color and Japanese Brush Pens which marked as a deal for $11. put shipped separately? Why? and for Birthday I wanted to get a Type O Negative T shirt like the one I had and wore every day 25 years. I know I’m a Dinosaur But its Peter Steel…. most of the not available anymore so I ordered A Motorhead T shirt . which after I made this big order won’t come till the end of the month? what What the Fuck is that all about?

After I get all this stuff I’m going  to cancel My subscription and just somethings I need not so desperately. Boy When I get Desperate I fall hard.

I MISS YOU MAN

Goth Metal at 4 in the morning after daylight savings goes forward.

Go Forward young man to save the light?

I watched the Shape of Water with the wife last night we loved it. I’ve been quiet lately been watching the tube working with some water color eventually I want to make my own album covers

I’m overhauling my studio space to expand it to record to paint. I got bags and bags of art Markers. and I’m getting Japanese brush pens tomorrow in the mail. Sweeet!!! 

Its to feel in control of the music which when in my twenties my friend had all the equipment and he wouldn’t let me touch anything he had a great set up He even had a Adat Recorder and a drum machine cake walk.

He got all this stuff and by 1995 he stopped  and did nothing He got all this money trust fund baby.

Long story short I have my own equipment my Own Label I release whenever I want

that’s why its important that you buy my newest album I’ve been working on my dream from 1990 I’m going be 48 years old but I’m happy its bitter sweet. I’ve been evolving in this cocoon trying to finally make a mark  Follow me on spotify I get paid if you listen

all these people in places I can’t pronounce on my states and I don’t whose in Columbus Ohio whoever you are Thank You!

Thanks to Daily Dose of Bass for the shout out. check them out and let them know you want hear yours truly

many thanks to Dereck Higgins for his review of my physical disc which is on sale

Laugh if you must, but as I sit here listening to Cannibal Corpse  I remember Back in the day I was on a quest to find

 the Heaviest band The fastest the meanest and toughest to listen

 

I guess I needed some thing to vent an undefinable frustration.

 

but because of the Myth that i was reminded of This Person Was Syd Barrett. The Legend that was creator of Pink Floyd. Now I liked the Floyd. I was was even fan David Gilmour

Solo work. Great Guitar Player but I never heard Barrett version of Floyd. I only heard the wall and several albums that lamented the Absence of Syd from the from the group. He was still alive and the stories about what happen to him was pure Gossip some true some just stupid and just mean. with that said 30 years ago I went into a record store which i miss and I found a double album of both Syd Barrett albums. Not sure what to expect.  I bought it. back the hunt and find in a record store was an adventure I miss so badly

 

so I get it home I put it on my turn table. which the process is barbaric by todays standards. but I loved it. Now the music didn’t go 500 miles an hour and earth didn’t shake or the speakers didn’t fall apart. instread what i heard was dreamy happy. something effortless that i remember my first impression I had this unguarded smile the took over and literally  the hairs on the back of my neck raised when  He sang “Well oh Baby MY Hairs on end about YoUUUUUUUUU!!”  I played both albums stunned I never heard anything like before in my life.  Now 30 years later I would say my fascination with Syd is based that I have come to the conclusion that Syd Barrett was a Haunted Man. This is not my fact I came to this theory after Watching an episode of Electric Dreams based the short Stories. I just saw the 3rd Episode and It opens to Steve Bushemi waking to a song by Syd Octopus Ride. Which I was not recording and I though maybe Pink Floyd refused to allow the song be used for movies.

Not sure why they used this song or the reference to play it 3 times beginning middle and end.  I read 2 biographies about Philip K Dick it seemed to be straightforward Classical music.

the ending is very ironic because it ends with Steve Buscemi being kicked off a Boat holding his favorite record. the irony is according to the first book He divorced his first wife for throwing his Records out the Window. I’m sure that there was other reasons but the Icing on the cake.  I guess the point of this is how our tastes in music is shaped.
