"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Dropped white robe . . Blade of the river. Moving foam.
Flagging fluid capes on a dragon's (false) teeth . . Escape from umbrage beyond parasol umbilical symbol . . Giant mushrooms from the filled bath tub . . Water waits there for me.
Welcome springs for tight corners . . Sample abstract . . Definition glowing through an eternal haze . . Magic cats steal their own glances and gaze at the running river . . Man becomes undone at long since forgotten Can of Worms . . Sings hymns of Glossolalia, Forgiveness of Haste and Memory Washed Away . . The thought becomes rubbed out and the rods walk covered . . Festive mud pies stuffed with freakish lullabies blanket the faces with glee. Joy at living, zeal for blue woe and frosted allegories for hungry thoughts about the sun. Pagan gems. Christian fumes.

@steveo, I remember hearing channel 6 on an FM car radio at the Del. Water Gap 15 or 20 years ago, but is that still true in the digital TV age? I think they all broadcast in some wacky encoded way now, plus "virtual" channel 6 is not always "real" channel 6.

@steveo, I just read that WPVI-TV 6 in Philly actually *does* still broadcast on "real" channel 6, and it's caused them reception problems. In the old days, VHF (2-13) had the best reception, but with digital TV, UHF is better. Most VHF channels are now actually on UHF. For instance, WCBS-2 in NYC is only "virtually" channel 2, and actually broadcasts on ch. 36. Confusing!
