This was just coincidental fusion, wherein the finale from West Side Story fused well with pieces from Ginsberg's "Howl", assuring the "best minds of our generation" that "there's a place for us" (which is actually from WSS's "Somewhere", also my parents' wedding song).








I forget the criteria that led to this being called "Isopod" (insectoid theme here,what with "Aphid Twix" and all), but it had something to do with how disgusting Rush Limbaugh, heard here, is. His stuttering here has been mixed with the intentional stutter of the Flying Lizards



obviously, this is the infamous "invisible hand" speech from Network, which was absolutely revelatory when I saw it. I fused it to an old MIDI which was originally called "MIDI Eastern" for its eastern tinge.



I was studying notes for a midterm or test or something and I found the lyrics to this song, which don't start until nearly halfway through the song, scribbled in the side of a notepad. I have no recollection of ever writing them. The most automatic of writing.

You're Sweet
It's dark
and i live in the river
snake uncoiled
violence in mind
is never accessible at hand

your ivory whites
are gold to my libido
and i chase by choice
the fabled virgin













this is a piss-take on the raving standard "I Can't Stop Raving" made to sound as if this phrase was not euphoric, but nightmarish. Years later, I learned that there was a whole genre of music like this called "darkside"
