I Can't Tell What Truth Is Anymore by Andy Partridge

If you are a casual fan of the great British pop/new wave band XTC then you'll certainly want to dig deeper than Dear God and get to the real good stuff and the good stuff can be found on the box set by XTC frontman Andy Partridge entitled Fuzzy Warbles. This tune is one of my favorite of his and I think you will enjoy it as well. Have a listen...c'mon, what do you have to lose eh?

Second Best (A Poem)

she taught
me to
never
settle
for second
best

to hang in
there until
perfection
(in my
eyes)
comes my way

little did she
know that
she was the one
I wanted

and like
a
fool
I want
her
to settle
for me

Updates...Photos and Nothing Else.

Enjoyed a swell birthday on the 24th. The wife had made for me a Ween box that totally ruled. Check out the pictures of it. It will store my secret stash of stuff. Also got a Big Lebowski mouse pad and a cake that may have melted but was still tasty as hell. The boys got me a Pixies DVD and a Black Francis CD and XTC’s Mummer album…which is simply fantastic. Thanks to all who made my day a fine one.
Yesterday I alphabetized my entire record collection which will simplify my life considerably. Found a few records that I had forgotten about and was quite pleased with the results…once again, check out the picture of them.

RCA "Sophistication In Stereo"

I found this box set the other day at a Salvation Army type store here in Binghamton, NY and I could not find any info on it online. It is called Sophistication in Stereo and it is chock full of great tunes but as I said…I don’t know anything about it. So, I will ask my visitors here at the blog about it. Anyone know a thing about this set? It is a ten records collection in a great sturdy box and has artists from RCA’s stable of musicians such as:
Ed Ames
Eddy Arnold
Chet Atkins
Arthur Fiedler
Jefferson Airplane
Living Strings
Henry Mancini
Peter Nero
And others.
There are 112 tunes all together and my set is in near perfect condition. Can anyone help me out with this set? Any information would be helpful.
Thanks.
Kevin

Playing Pixies (A Poem)

I want it loud

it's the only
way I can
get off
anymore

the louder
the more aroused I get

this music
this feedback ballad
kills me

I shake it
across the room
a-
lone
and
I like it
that way

not a judge in my
stands

not a finger pointed
in my direction

just me
partially naked
in socks

waving my
majestic arms
filthy with
muscle and
steel

my legs
dance
my feet
flip me off
and out of here

I am weird
at my home

when only the cats
can tell on me
with their stupid
little
meows

loud though
the way
I
need
it
to
be

I do the
swim

I do the
bump

I do the
Manta Ray

t
o
n
i
g
h
t

under the cover
of nighttime
and
music
always music

I let out a razor
crazed screech

as the windows rattle a bit
and the light bulbs
have all
gone soft on me

chicken shit they
are

I want tongue
I want thigh
I want white noise
to come from you filthy
little mouth

now,
at my call
let it all out
just for
me

I promise
I will not let
you
down

did you hear what I said?
did you now?

I'm not a fool..
I know I'm alone
as usual
but for these
speakers
these needles that
shine under the stars

it's all I need

honestly,
I'm telling you the truth

it's all I need

This Metal Opera (A Poem)

this metal opera

of ours

shivers

like a good taste

on my face

and

screams in my

ears

(which happen to be

my all time

favorite

body part)

and so

as you remove your

blouse

and my birthday

has arrived

I take you in

like the music of

a thousand planets

singing simply

for me

and you

with your horned helmet

and robotic brassiere

does something

smooth to me

and I can sing your praises

all fucking night

and now

with glasses

the color of winter flowers

sitting on top of my forehead

I squint insanely

at your nude figure

in the blue walls

of our lovemaking sessions

and flip it over once

to the other side

and sing for me

a new song

and you

captivated by my

mellifluous croaking

(a honey frog)

you call me the style of the year…

you whisper my

hidden nickname

as I penetrate the

walls of your tender mouth

with my crazy soft tongue

singing

as always

singing

to you

to me

to us

and the night

is young

and the fat lady

she ain’t showing up

(my ears

wouldn’t pay her any mind anyhow

that’s why I love them to pieces)

so dear heart

flip it over twice

and we’ll have another run

into the wild flesh

that burns hot

with scented lust

as the tea seeps

inside of mugs

underneath

the New York moonlight

that pours into our song

that only the two of us

know the lyrics to

so one more

amazon kiss…

a bravo jungle with flowers

hitting the ceiling fans

before showering us

with sliced pedals

and laughing

we continue on

and on

like a needle stuck so sweetly

into the groove

of the perfect record

which plays at every speed

with grace and gusto

so say a prayer for that wax

in our collective souls

and don’t let the tune

fade out

to crisp December air

keep it warm

keep it hot

keep it alive

and most of all

keep it

coming

dear,

keep it coming
