100 per cent





Le Noise
"Details about the recording sessions for the album fuel the legend of Neil Young: He only recorded on nights when there was a full moon and brought out his infamous big white electric Gretsch guitar, which was used to record some of his most famous records in the late '60s and early '70s."

some say phila. is a dirty city.  Filth.
My attraction with philly started with the watching of David Lynch's Eraserhead.
In his philly induced film, he created something beautiful, the buzzing, grotesque, damaged.
"There was a sense of dread pretty much everywhere I went. I didn't live in any good parts of Philadelphia, and so dread was my general feeling. I hated it. And, also, I loved it."

Neil's album, which includes a real nice downloadable J'card booklet, won't be played as one of  his, thee Beloved albums.
but much like Mr. Lynch's movie,  this searching, in the dirt, something glimmers, in the distortions.



  records and movies...
they stand alone in there finished effort

a race? the feelings are fleeting, but embedded.

that pain

a release, a way to fight back,  a need to conquer
ourselves, or others
a simple stupid joy
diversion
