understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals

what would happen if england was actually russia...depending on to whom you are inclined...enclined...reclined with...
perceptions of the last four weeks brings on a slight headache>not that it was german or russian or english but it was certainly boeing>>it brings to mind the first of the 'big offence deals'...the union of unions barks now and we might see ten percent of what they get>>>it's always been that way...
and what of france...a mexican ex-pat told me about his villa where everyday of the year it's 75 with 'lots of germans...'
drifting along during monday's scape i find only five pounds off the weight of that monkey but that's half a tenner anyway...more later...

lydia, oh, lydia, oh, have you met lydia, lydia the tattooed lady...
i spent about a hundred hours, calling, visiting, requesting tunes of, and generally becoming a speed bump to stu whitmer before he granted me ninety minutes air time a week to produce an all reggae show which i named 'cool runnin's'...saturday afternoon/evening break...5:30 to 7...just before david ossman and his ossman's audiola...
back then, when jack straw had the license and deep pockets and a lavish (by current standards) budget...budget for staff...and we had plenty...ask ed...ed was there...along with nancy and stu and a sawed off firebrand named joni...innovator, bold idealist, and part time music director who became a regular listener to (and caller of) my little reggae show...
after months of calls between us, i developed an affection for joni and i joked with her many times about running off together to somewhere exotic...as it turns out, she made it there for both of us...and then called the game due to rain...our loss because we didn't know and the one's who did, didn't act...and left her too alone, too close to the edge...
i'm sorry lydia...you see, that's what i suggested as an alternative name for her...we both agreed that joni was just too '70s for someone so obviously a 1940's soul...i thought lydia worked far better...she liked sofi and i had to give it to her...i've reinvented my handle some five times in my life...just for revenge against being named bob...
today is being spent in conversation about her and how my life was enhanced by knowing my sister, joni/lydia/sofi...good night sweet lady...

one system to rock, another to roll...if it comes down to me, which is bloody impossible, i'd go blind...in a drought of happy, sexy, hoppy, snakey...all oral, all done better without teeth...oh, blessed, furry...i can see you with your hands flying, i know it's own thing is much larger than it needs to be...helplessly pondering punching bags to no avail...how did i know...
what a hoot/been looking in on a brit series called 'danger: uxb' having to do with 'delay action' ordinance dropped on london during the blitz of ww2...also, as i remember explained in the film 'shindler's list', the slave labor used in the camps during the war did it's best to screw up the bombs and such they made so as to do the same to the gerris that used them in the effort...what a hoot/
to those who also 'stand and wait', i salivate, leaves me cold (&wet)...

oliver and lucifer were slimy down the street one day when the pope drove up to say he was sorry and all about the buggery and if anybody wanted to talk about it why come on over so we did...o&l, surprised as all heck, wondered what the old nazi was on about anyway and how would he know anything without being told so they split....him...up between them while all the time going back at him with the truth mixed up with stories they had been hiding for years...under their...hats...
days later...
gone sleekly with the hot red orb - up over the plateau on the bluff of the butte...plainly perplexed pertaining people plugged with old pipehair...
goodnight and goodluck...and thanks to the lady in red for the rescue...

'get this one here and we'll get to work' he said while sliding down the hall toward spain...last night got a hot groove to it with all the dk's stuff and then i did my best to 'plane it out' as it were...monday on it's heels...sunday sauntered by like diamondback in the sun...thanks for the fur...

afternoon sly shy simple and fly...
spoke with jim for the first time since the great lost kinks episode...he is better now...turns out that in the last three years he became 'partially dead' as most of his systems were shutting down and he had blown up to three hundred and some...turns out to be mostly water as he changed doctors and got that second opinion...
thinking about another jim now and hoping he is doing his best...and then there is michael...his loss is deep and he's tired but we all could all be a bit fresher...just the breaks mon...just the brakes...

Edit, my friend, edit…
you find me remembering many voices, saying that same thing, while I considered
my own place in the world. Read, read, read…everybody…old and new…ravish,
consume, tear into any and everything you can get your hands on. Daily rituals
like ‘the times’ in the morning and rw emerson at night… like an english with
marmalade and a steaming brown liquid… like rolling into her arms with wiley
delight… like getting to know yourself in some radically new way…
I am ‘one in twenty’ when it comes to ‘getting it across’. More than imaginable,
less than likely, my words go farther to confuse than clarify. I have no more
‘education’ than my own. No training, experience, or opportunity other than my
own. When you talked about being ‘on a level’ and the difference in our styles,
you made reference to quality with which I disagree. If you ‘like’ something it
means you had fun with it or found out something exciting or cleared up some
mystery or other. A little tunnel between you and pleasure, traveling straight
to the point or over the valley and through the woods to grandma’s house…
You have no idea how exciting it has been considering the opportunity to ‘do
something’ for music by writing about your band. Now bump that up by ten grand
thinking about a nice large venue for those thoughts. I have been published
before but always small (and with much love) and I have been happy…and
lucky…even after demanding edits, my stuff seems to stay intact when printed.
Weird considering my low points …non stop wonderment…
There have been more than a few miles and days between meeting you and now. By
sheer number, the faces blend for you now to the point of giving me blonde hair
(instead of the actual silver) and Lin, her of long neck, is a good foot taller
in your mind than actual. Final trick here is the review of the rather mundane
questions I offer and mild observations, if not cynical, then deadly. This it
not a sin…its normal…memory clogs with new events daily…difficult keeping even a
great orgasm in the ‘temp file’ with any accuracy.
What I am trying to say are these:
Thank you…with hopes for all the continuing luck and success…life altering
experience…all goodness flowing your way.
Success by the ton made possible by your considerable talent and the fluid
on-stage communications between you and your bandmates.
Love, mostly love all of your days.

it's the eighth and looking good for the swinging mariners...if we have that 120 win season, my 'happy valley' will have a 'happy ending'...perhaps in the lot...
thanks for paying attention girl...and yes, it does look good in black...good luck back home...back in the boeing cold...

Now the sheriff wants more and I just ran out…
From time to time I notice the drain like today when the
words just blend together…wrapping around like a run-on sentence…making less and
less sense as the clock keeps shrinking…
The time may be short (especially the lead singer) but the
experience has been phatpharm happy…in that I remember ‘the thrill of it all’
like our tongues met only yesterday…there on the hill behind the park…all ten of
us making out like mad while getting ‘floor direction’ from one five years our
junior…
Or that projection booth in Tacoma during the convention when
you let me under your dress for the first time…it was always the first time,
with my brain on fire…you would have known you had received that day…
Now my lungs rattle and what’s left of my hair is going
blonde but I still remember and I still deal with it the same way I did when I
was fourteen…
Fancy that…
ゴジラ
G vs The Sea
Monster 1966
Did you ever
have a dream date that somehow went pretty good but the wrong girl showed up?
This movie is kind of like that. Originally the script was written to involve
King Kong but things did not come together so it was decided to go with the
biggest shrimp possible. Thus Ebirah was born.
I try to imagine the story meetings and script reviews for an outing such as
this one. “I think this is a good time to put out a movie with terrorists (The
Red Bamboo) and a marathon dance contest!” or “How about an adversary that make
you want to clarify some butter!” Words never spoken?, perhaps…
But then, when dealing with fantasy, we know anything can happen. We depend on
that condition. The welcome flash of light either on the surface of some ocean
or bay or mountain top, shifting to reveal our favorite lizard bellowing that
familiar sound reminding us of time spent in dark theatres or around bowls of
cold bran flakes on the apartment floor late some Saturday night. Places where
anything can happen.
So what to do…what to do…
Let’s cruise through the dance, pick up a couple of rejects, trek to the marina
and look at the boats – outside and in – “I wonder what the owner looks like…”
“Just like this…” the weapon bearing fellow bellows…
What reveals next is the reason for all this. Our hero (?) is looking to find
his ‘lost at sea’ brother. After spending the night aboard, at the owner’s
request, the next obvious thing to do is raise sail and take off before the
owner wakes up. Well, at least it keeps the plot moving along…
Of course, there’s a storm which breaks up the boat, and a handy island to be
all soaked, sandy and bitchy on, looking to survive. And what an island…Infant
Island… Remember Mothra? Remember our terrorists? This is where they hold the
native population hostage, forcing them to make a variation of the famous ‘red’
sauce, a ‘yellow’ variant that just happens to ‘control’ a certain
shellfish…fiendish huh. Oh yeah, and they are making nuclear weapons as well…
Now you have the setup for the ‘Monster Battle’…Ebirah against Godzilla…which
begins with a rousing game of catch between G and the big seafood buddy…a
surprise visit from the Giant Condor (Dai-Kondoru)…a tired looking Mothra…and
the Air Force!!!
Fun Godzilla Fact:
The sound department tried numerous animal roars for Godzilla but felt they were unsuitable for an animal of such immense size. Akira Ifukube came up with Godzilla's roars by rubbing a coarse, resin-coated leather glove up and down the strings of a contrabass (double bass), and reverberated the recorded sound. Also, Godzilla's thunderous footsteps were made by beating a kettle drum with a knotted rope.
ゴジラ
Gojira 1954
There are a few things I don’t remember. A few things I might remember. And some things that I know I have painted with bolder strokes than really happened.
Today, my thoughts shift to the memories of Raymond Burr speaking low, almost in a whisper about the destruction of Tokyo. The shame of this is that the first time I saw this movie, Godzilla, it happened on the small tv screen which did not in the least provide the needed power of image to bring the story across. Heck, I didn’t even know what I was missing. Things like that don’t cross the mind of the pre-teen boy. Only later did I find out the truth.
What I was watching that day wasn’t the way the movie came out in Japan. Not even close.
Years later, when I did see the original release, I also saw it with the original Japanese language without subtitles and even without the aid of being able to understand the dialogue, I knew I was seeing a totally different, more powerful and meaningful, Godzilla (or Gojira as the original film and monster were called).
OK, I realize this movie is now over fifty years old and in some ways it shows. Something you find out as time goes by is that only in context can you truly know the total experience. By that I mean that in order to get all that is available in this movie, one must watch other films of the era (1954). Whether it’s American or Japanese, you will soon come to the conclusion that despite the low-tech special effects, you are seeing something special.
The pace, the acting, and even the texture of the film say this and, if this works, you will come away with a feeling for what it must have been like to be in Hiroshima during the a-bomb attack (which is what this film represents). Dig the desperation and society busting destruction here. Now watch for the unusual way the threat is dealt with.
Here is one aspect that is never repeated in the Japanese series (the only American production did not follow this element). Godzilla is actually killed using something called an ‘oxygen destroyer’ and is turned into a stack of floating G-bones. A myth is a special kind of story in that the main characters can be indestructible and even come back to life for little or no reason. Early in the Japanese series, it was deemed that the nuclear threat around the world will never die so, it figures, that it’s icon, Godzilla, will survive to make life scary for the rest of time.
For the first time it is now possible to get a package of both the original release from 1954 and it’s American redo from 1956 (the one with Raymond Burr) and compare the two. Happy viewing youngster, you get to start in the right place.
In the coming months, I have been invited to review each and every release which I will attempt to do with my own personal view of what works and what doesn’t.
