A Large Clock in a Courtyard
blatantlies:
There was a large clock in the brick courtyard, and the two men needed it for a game they were playing.
“Fifteen seconds and the clock will stike fifteen o’clock!” the man in a hat muttered.
“Twenty seconds!” the other one cringed, “and it’ll be a loud, real painful loud!”
Behind them, a streetcar was passing on rails and a woman caught a glimpse of them, one tall and one short,...
A Pointless Occupation
blatantlies:
I’m already obsolete before I’m relevant, because poetry isn’t important. I’ll write something down, and you can read it to help get over a bad divorce: and yet however, you’ll be a housewife or a bohemian in modern times and it makes no difference to you. You will still crush your head in a vise and let the strong arms of your mother and father take turns ripping the saw back and...
Chair Fire
blatantlies:
“Chair, fire.”
He set the chair on fire. There was overwhelming applause from the crowd. The parking lot was full of these people. Then the man left the inner circle to grab another piece from the pile. He waited for the call:
“Television, hammer.”
He couldn’t break the screen. Oil drum fires torched away, and every blow from the hammer that left the glass intact angered the...
Road Signs
blatantlies:
Please pay attention to the road signs. My advice to you. There are people who unscrew them and rearrange them in the night. They’ve never been caught: I’ve stayed outside with a flashlight, a bottle of whiskey and a pistol and there was nothing but birds and bats all night across these little lakes. Pay attention to the road signs, so that you may ignore them.

no I’m not being intentionally racist or anything I’m just about to inform you about the funniest part of the Mandarin language. in English one of our verbal crutches for when we haven’t formulated a complete thought and are stalling for time is “ummm”. Well, in Mandarin Chinese they got one of those too but they say “niggeh niggeh niggeh”.
This is not a joke I hear this...

Audiobook Corner →
Does that title make you feel the same feeling you got when you realized it was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s? Did you have Free Cone Day? Ben & Jerrys? Ok nevermind.
Audio books. Lots of sci-fi. Lots of everything else. They have good taste in narrators. Want to hear Saruman read Sherlock Holmes? Want to hear Dracula read, er, Dracula? Want to hear Vincent Price read the Edgar...

Not a switching of initial characters, no. I think it’s Latvian for “I’m clever.”
SNARKY COMMENTS ASIDE, I’m grateful for this music blog’s depository of live shows. Patton worship is all over it, but there’s a Birthday Party concert on there too and if you go far back enough some actual album us. No tags, nothing useful like that. There’s photos...

The Worried Well →
It’s my duty that if I download something off of a blog, I post that blog where everyone can see it. And by everyone, I mean about seven people on tumblr.
Author Worried Well is part of Lucid Media’s cockloving comprehensive collection of contributors. He posts a lot of really cool things … if you’re into what he’s into. If you liked Black Sabbath a LOT at any point...

If you can mentally get past the first thing you see when you click this link, you’ll probably find something here you want to download.
And with that said … their name says it all. Isn’t it nice when a music blog, or any blog really, clearly states their intent with their name rather than evoking the spirit of unnecessary self-flattery? TERROR. NOISE. AUDIO. There may be mp3s...
