re: kid a...............chris bose and a decade too fast......

at last, i'm home, the past five weeks, i've been home for five days. i'm kinda tired, kinda happy to be home, but as i walk around the streets of kamoops, i think back to a decade ago, when an album came out that was trippy, calm, beautiful and strange all at once.......Radiohead's opus, "KID A". It seems difficult to believe it's been ten years since that day i woke up and ran down to "Spinners" record store and paid $25 for the CD, ran back to my place across from the park, watching orange, and gold leaves fall from trees, and listened to the album excitedly. time has passed too quickly i think........

i hadn't heard anything like it, and loved it. off and on over the years, i go through phases where i listen to this album, and the radiohead catalogue. it's powerful stuff, and if i listen to too much of it, i get depressed! ha ha!
it's so beautifully bleak, and captures a kind of melancholy that is soothing, gripping and deeply dark. then i'll listen to slayer to bust the depression! ha ha!

anyway, what i think i'm trying to say about this album, and this period of time, is that i was at some kind of milestone, and ten years later, i'm looking back and trying to figure out what i've done with my life the past ten years. i think i'm definitely a late bloomer, and i'm going to start writing and recording some new songs to hit the music road for awhile.

a decade has passed unbelievably quickly, and now i've got responsibilities, and children i love so very much, but i still struggle to find my way in this world. waiting for an answer, a reason, or a door to open, something....anything......ha ha!!! so i keep slogging it out, creating new art, i'm writing some new poems, and i've got a couple films to get done........time is ticking past, sometimes silently at night, beneath a sky full of stars in the summer, and sometimes time roars forward, like a jet rushing towards the runway, screaming towards the sky and everything else.........

until next time friends, fans, foe, lovers and the like.......
