Someone named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.selinamartin.com\/\">Selina Martin<\/a> made this, <a href=\"http:\/\/s7.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=3D40NA88RRGVT3BK8JTR601VHQ\"><i>11 Ways To Get Into The House<\/i><\/a>. There are some more mp3&#8217;s for download on her site, but she does the vocals on the rest of the available music and though she&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/s13.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=1XZHFUE7057KJ0VE9ZNOBV9MII\">very damned nice<\/a>, she can also be very &#8216;girl sitting in a tavern making people feel nostalgic for love affairs they never had&#8217;, and I&#8217;m hoping that somewhere there is more music that feels like a cross between <a href=\"http:\/\/s10.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=33VQLC4KNMKG41XTTX5PR4GIAW\">Tom Waits<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/s10.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=0IWUENFX8M492QLCDL7NDN0HD\">Ani Defranco<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, I&#8217;d like to toss in some gothy music I found through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~warren_ellis\">Warren<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.warrenellis.com\/?p=1558\">Apparat Programmes<\/a>: Masochist Monkey Circus &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/s19.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=306EJGY0R0FCX1DTIM01YO5E4T\">You&#8217;re An Animal<\/a>. To get a copy separate from the Programme, I tracked down the artist and groveled a bit. (Same sort of deal as when I was trying to find more from <a href=\"ttp:\/\/www.revporl.com\/\">Revporl<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superstring.co.uk\/\">Stuart Crozier<\/a> after being sent the <a href=\"http:\/\/s19.yousendit.com\/d.aspx?id=1NIV55L7ABK7A1RU4JA1BG0Z7A\">Dr. Thirsty<\/a>.). He seems like a very nice fellow. I may have tracked down his journal as well, <a href=\"http:\/\/masochistmonkey.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">masochistmonkey<\/a>, but I&#8217;m not sure. Only friends can reply to his posts. Even if I&#8217;m wrong, I&#8217;m leaving them added because it&#8217;s a pleasant read. I&#8217;m planning on writing him tonight to confirm, however, and to pass on word that I&#8217;m throwing his music to the internet winds. <\/p>\n<p><i>I hung up the phone and ignored the disappointed sting in my belly. Instead, I got lost in my computer and when I looked up, it seemed like there was a wolf in my doorway. A giant gray creature with golden eyes. I considered quietly picking up the reciever and pressing redial, but I didn&#8217;t want to move. I didn&#8217;t want to blink. It seemed the moment I closed my eyes was a precipice hidden in a dark green forest I could tumble down and break my sight like a bone too delicate or clumsy to ever properly set. The wolf breathed out. It stood. I heard paws heavily scraping the hallway floor. One foot swung forward, placed itself firmly on the carpet of my room. I blinked. It was gone.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>On the top of something tall, I don&#8217;t remember what. It might have been a granary tower or it might have been the apex of a bridge, it doesn&#8217;t matter. What matters is that I remember looking down at the sprinkle of city lights and thinking, &#8220;All of this was <i>made<\/i>. Every tiny one of a million million details was thought of by someone. There&#8217;s no where else for it to have come from. All our civilization, all our languages and ideas and music, it all came from <i>some<\/i>one. Humans are so unreal. Every emergency room in the country has a diamond tip drill for popping the vacuum when idiots shove lightbulbs into unpleasant places, and yet&#8230; those are the same people who created the infrastructure that all the rest are taking for granted. What a containment for disparity we&#8217;ve made. How beautiful all that sodium glare.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE AFRICAN KILLER BEE PORTRAYED IN THIS FILM BEARS ABSOLUTELY NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE INDUSTRIOUS, HARD-WORKING AMERICAN HONEY BEE TO WHICH WE ARE INDEBTED FOR POLLINATING VITAL CROPS THAT FEED OUR NATION.
