Study Rain 04:53
Annotate the capstone and prepare— three days' walk, milk scattered cows. Sign your name on the shattered— Cart before, swept behind. March to grotto, banjo fence (Barrel a peck...) Who needs calamine? (...and the sugar of lead technology refines—) Air to blur and settle... Chimney-pots and slate removed (Under the old state who?) Depth and volume define— (desert and skies blue, undraw a sanded line) I can study rain. Whose face on the coin the ransom bought? (Signify to the water...) Civil twilight, resent the shadows (Testify to the ground.) Counterfeit the dictionary (Understate the frequency—) Bury armies, harvest fountains. (Who will beat, beat the drum?) Testified to the puma—(understate... I saw Montgomery wince. (under the old... Nail the wind to the water, (under the old state... Tie the flame to the ground (who?)

He rides a donkey through the city – He wears trousers ’cause his knees aren’t so pretty – in swerving traffic, past oil derricks, under bridges to his Uncle Eric’s… He carries compasses in leather satchels, in canvas, corduroy…and smells of burning matches – a switchblade ego, a turnpike mind, an appled oranger spilling coffee grounds and rinds. (He’s…) Lance Crocker Lance Crocker Lance Crocker Almanac cracker!

Not so high and lonesome as a question mark implied Not as wild as mercury, but close Doesn’t get much lower than the waterline at Doubtful Sound Driving rhythms drive me to the coast Sally showed up in the mail When I helped her post her bail Looking spotless, looking pale Sally followed me around To the shore and back to town She drew the crescent, drew it down She took me down to Doubtful Sound Poisonous and venomous marine organisms Clothbound books embossed with skates and rays A butterfly distraction on a Sunday in the plumbing shop The ringing in my ears goes on for days Sally’s long and tall and blonde Sally plays me like a song When we turn each other on Sally fits me like a crown Sally sure does get around She’ll be my verb and I’m her noun She took me down to Doubtful Sound Sally’s dance is messed around Sally rides her legend down ‘Round the roses, alley-bound She took me down to Doubtful Sound Look into her cat’s eye, you can see beyond the deep But she’s higher and she’s brighter than the moon Doesn’t drive a Mustang, but she overdrives with overtones That rise and fall like swells in the monsoon Sally joins me at the hip Sally goes down like a ship Turn her up and let her rip Sally followed me around To the shore and back to town Can’t help but wonder where we’re bound She took me down to Doubtful Sound She took me down to Doubtful Sound She took me down to Doubtful Sound She took me down, she took me down She took me down She took me down She took me down

Monkey Typing Pool Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Just one guy with minimal gear whose main goal is to produce songs that sound like things he wants to hear...which, for some reason, no one else has bothered recording yet.
