pumped up kicks

Aug 24, 2011 11:04

This song I heard on the local radio is called Pumped Up Kicks by Foster [&] the People. I think yeah transitions are low gear and the whizzy noise at the beginning is like a turbo winding up. Reminds me of good things that are good and perhaps otherwise also. Uprising by Muse is in line with those dynamics. But not as refined.

I think the music nowadays will rival or exceed the creepydown dissolution of the 1980s. Now there is some sort of glorious distillation and it makes me feel hopeful. The next generation is supposed to be free-minded and creative. I prefer the burden of the hero. I suppose it's all rather part of a greater wave form. First one step, then another.

Sometimes I want to explain the things that I do, but other times I do not. The human condition is so ridiculous... memories are no better than dreams and that means whatever happened five minutes ago too. Reality changes according to grammar and whim. These are only ones and zeros or little points of light. Everything is the same in these terms, although we can see the infinite mechanism at work on many levels.

And it's no different right now for me as I sit a drone on the keyboard than it is for you the reader. Right now yes. Or even yesterday. As for me, my tomorrow never comes. Probably less a conflict of time than a peculiar lack thereof.
