Flying Fox Youtube Channel
January 23, 2010
Like lots of people growing up in the 70s and 80s, I was really into my record player and tape deck. I would go to thrift stores and for a couple bucks could pick out a short stack of 45s…since they were cheap it wasn’t really a big deal to go out on a limb and just buy something random. So I built up a pretty good collection of weird, funny and just plain unusual music. And then I would create mixed tapes from them…sometimes just using bits and pieces of songs…looping and stuff, I’m sure you get the point. I decided to start a Youtube channel to share some songs I’m fond of (new discoveries and old favorites). So here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/flyingfox7727
Feel free to subscribe and if you are into this sort of music, check back regularly bc I’ll be adding more songs and rearranging my playlists.

I’m proud to announce I’ll be marching w/ the Vaudevillains Brigade this New Years Day! The theme this year is food…if you’re in the area come out and show your support; we’ll be marching on Broad Street, then down on Two Street. Or check us out on tv…

Halcyon Days
December 15, 2009
A few quotes and a link, in honor of the Halcyon Days…
Move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude, from macrocosmos to microcosmos: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/
Walt Whitman, Halcyon Days:
You Tides with Ceaseless Swell
You tides with ceaseless swell! you power that does this work! You unseen force, centripetal, centrifugal, through space’s spread, Rapport of sun, moon, earth, and all the constellations, What are the messages by you from distant stars to us? what Sirius’? what Capella’s? What central heart–and you the pulse–vivifies all? what boundless aggregate of all? What subtle indirection and significance in you? what clue to all in you? what fluid, vast identity, Holding the universe with all its parts as one–as sailing in a ship?
Archibald Lampman, Alcyone
… the great and burning star,
Immeasurably old, immeasurably far,
Surging forth its silver flame
Through eternity, … Alcyone!
Been playin’ music with Horsey.
