[Malt Refund]

PDFs are the easy way out! I'm gonna keep on truckin'! Here's the next color [COLOR=paleturquoise]aquamarine[/COLOR].. hardest one I've had the pleasure of reading but its well worth it, its a great big hole into Karl's head not to mention his writing and music-making processes. ^__^

"I progressed swiftly to the personnel service
and 'personnel' adds in the back of the Village Voice
Was handed hard-core fliers from Jackie 60
a famous gay, lesbian: tranvestitish club in the meat packing district
And was curious about my instant revulsion to copies of 'Screw Magazine'
they were literally strewn around the studios of Electronic Lady Land of 8th street
by its editor. who had a regular slot on Public Access TV
that he punctuated thoroughly by yelling
'So Screw You!'
That was the obvious place for me to begin picking up the fragments
The dialogue and images around me were sort of 'easy'
They just sort of 'appeared'
As if they'd never been there before
Street-speak
Not slang
Not that shit
No
I got tired of that really fast
I mean everyday common-or-garden 'Local dialect'
Fragments so changed you could take them thousands of miles away
and they'd still come out stinking of the places you got 'em

NewYork.. like most of America, is a film with the contrast turned up
It was 'the easy place' to get started
I could see them 'fragments' clearly
pick out the stuff that grabbed me
and get it on paper
Write it down
sample it

That's where it began
And for the next 4 years thats where everything 'began' for me
Always returning to NewYork
whenever it was time for us to start making a new record

All I needed was a little booze
and the night
and I could write
happily
collect everything
everything I encountered
Spitting it out
moving thru the beautiful dirty

And in the morning
It was all there on paper
One half of the deal 'kept'
and all I had to do was be the 'straight head' and decipher the scrawl
That was the deal
It worked
and we stuck to it, me and the 'night worker'
Producing our more resonant and financially successful work to date....

Suck the fragments out of the mouth of the woman in the pink jumper
Sweet autumn air dressed in the contents of her lungs
In the sun
Then 'another'
A bloke in a Bulls Cap sticks wires in his ears"
