no one knows who this is and I don’t too
androgynous face with two mouths stacked
full lips
four for more
I’d imagined this face before I even started the underdrawing
the underdrawing came from years ago and was derived from
irl human sitting in front of me for a portrait
I have hidden layers of knowledge in me that I forget about
who is it
I like the idea of reworking past sketches of portraits into
slightly off and imagined characters
sampling the real to ramp into the surreal
time to go dance for money though
i guess the jig is up for now
—
fantasy tits in the morass of this arm pit
i think i found once how to dig a fucking art pit
timelessness hits in the deadest hour i sit
picking part the pages of a sister satan target
n i think i found once how to make it through the garbage
eight times a day or so if any one should know it
digs at myself for taking up and walking up
to keep my fixed position n remain a moving target

when fixed to the list
the attention is twisted
and time takes its toll and its tax
why you might ask
and try though you might
to take time from a sip from your flask
the list rushes past takes it's place in your vision
and again you’ve begun a new task
patience for days
at the edge of the land
at the ledge of the language
time’s token in hand
and the novel pursues
though in mem'ry
you muse
my demise, I’ve decided
sink sunken in slowly
little heart in the grave
and the gravity weakens
looks good on the plate
time takes back it’s token
and a new thing is made
of the battered and broken
slow entropy, dull blade

A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great!

go to album
Truly oddball pop from Sharif Ali combines smooth synths, groovy electric piano, and Karoke-style crooning into a strangely catchy whole.
