THE NEW MOON BLUES IN GEMINI

The planets weigh down on us all at once in the sign of Gemini

Everybody seems a little disheveled

I drive an hour down to Roseville to see my Gemini sister

After pancakes and smoothies we go down the road to her house

We binge The Voice, her favorite show

I get a little work done but it never feels like enough

Running around a bit much, answering all those calls, seeing all these friends

But the rhythm picks back up

And i can feel a momentum building

I say yes to the lake but no to dinner and i make it in time to see my new roommates dancing with fire

I play some country love songs on the drive home from Roseville and I remember the silly love i once played with down there

She ordered us noodles on her company dime but

“They still take the taxes out of my salary,” and I feel a little sad

When I’m reminded how I don’t like that’s how the world’s set up-

My baby sister’s getting taken advantage of

And I’m reminded of my own life and how much trust I’m putting into This Company that’s so grassroots while I yearn for both a corporate streamlined role where I thrive in a fancy gym routine or the opposite: nothing except writing my next book

The never-ending story of advocating for ourselves, Magdalene and I mention- is that the Libran/Aries axis?

Contracts with others vs. contracts with the self?

I keep making them and breaking mine around work and writing and smoking and eating

Pining away wistfully, oh for one goal, a single, golden goal, but now I have like seven

It’s okay to be depressed by the repressed but don’t be repressed by the depression, keep moving, keep learning, keep growing

I listen to those country love songs and think of all those partners I lost back in Roseville

Two friends tell me they fell in love because of country love songs

The concept of controlling feelings- the ultimate power

I made this song "Evisceration" a while back. What's fun about it is this track is 100% made with Vital, the amazing (and free) wavetable synthesizer by Matt Tytell. (With exception of the laugh) even the drum hits were made in vital!

I made it just to test the power of Vital never expecting it to be released, but God damn if it didn't come out one of my filthiest tracks.

(and yes, I do make 9/10 of my drum sounds from scratch, and make 99.9% of my synth sounds and fx from scratch)

You can actually find the sounds used in this song and many more in the Vital Preset pack "Napalm"

No Locals par Bob White Via Flickr : Despite what her hat says, this young woman is a local athlete that rock climbs, whitewater kayaks, snowboards, paddleboards and I don't know what else.
