Be prepared: we are bringing you our music. It is a long way through the desert to bring it to you. It will be called "pictures of the moon".

After Yesterday's Crash

Mrs. Benson and Josh have been singing this one since the late middle 90's.

But it never really sang until the Pessah Twirl Solo made it in.

Requiem in pace

Miss Sylvia Krappstein and Anna Nicole Smith, Queen of Silver Lake Pageant, July 13, 2002.


Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing
and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually collapsed
oh Lana Turner we love you get up


--Frank O'Hara,"Poem (Lana Turner has collapsed!)"
(thanks, Darcy)

Madrid, Spain. Bassist Professah Pessah comes within a futbol field of the ETA bombing. If I don't make it to the gig, he thinks, then the terrorists have already won.
