Label Description: One of the Best Times Ever
Was Sex on the Beach
And not the Drink – Nothing
Metaphorically, Wet Wild & Juicy
Sex on the Beach, Stars in our Eyes
The Glow of reckless Youth Riding
Waves of Pale Moonlight
I Saw the Stars that Night, But they
Were Outshone
Always there
But
Always Alone – A Blink
in Time, A Moment in Stride
Inside so Close
The Dance of Sighs,
The Pitter Patter pattie
Try it on for Size ~
It’s What passes for Clase
Classy
Both Here
And Far
And Wide ~

Label Description:
Here we are – Vol 11 of the ” Two Halves ” series ~
While I enjoy collaborating with others directly ( And am particularly happy with my track on this volume ) one thing that I also really enjoy is combining the sounds of other artists in my mind – Sometimes it’s a ” Styles Clash ” sonic mash up, other times a Sympatico Through-line vibe. But it’s always something that generates heat, excitement to ponder. And almost always, it comes back sounding different and often even better than expected. Another curious artifact, which I think is manifest on this volume, is that theses tend to have, in my view, the consistency of a album by one group / person- It seems somehow connected. I was tempted to write it off on the first couple of volumes but it’s consistent enough now that It bears mentioning – I don’t give the pairs any sort of direction or theme to work with, apart from technical issues when first paired putting in touch, I take a hands off approach. And only a few times have results not come in ( Mitigating Circumstance & All ) So, Some food for thought as a peek behind the curtain.
Hope you enjoy these sounds, and again – Thanks so much to the artists participating for taking this leap of faith & delivering such stellar results ~!

Label Description: Went Walking down along the
Delta river bottom, High
As a Kite, Feeling Down
Right Blue in the
Face ing Facts
Sun was cracked,
Crawled straight out up, Up
Of the Toad Stool
Getting on to Dusk, Paralell to Ruts,
When up ahead there was cross
roads. By the sign there was
A Man
With a Golden Violin, The man was
Dressed in Black, Sulphur in the stacks
Of fire cones vibrate the sky
” Uh Uh ” they said, their face a glowing red –
” I might be the Devil, I won’t deny it be
cause it’s True “
” However, Facts is facts “
( Satan looked taken aback )
” I Want nothing, at all , No
Thing to do with You “
He Looked me right through
” I Was talking to your Woe-Man “
Lucifer held up a withered hand, And all the birds for miles fell
out of the air ~ ” I Can’t Believe the things she said “
Ol’ Nicks face went even deeper Red
” And quite frankly I’ve never been quite so scared “
Shuffled forward a bit, Golden Fiiddle & Bow in mitts
” And I have no Deal, No Joke or riddle for you “
He Put the treasure by my shoes
” Just leave me the fuck alone “
And with a Puff of Brimstone, he was gone ~
And Now I’m the richest man on earth, But still have the
Deep Bong Blues

Label Description:
It’s A Hell of a thing ,
A Lingering sting
A Diamond Ring
Dropped right down a sink
A Bubble
And Bubble
And Toile & Trubble
Witches Brooms & Warlocks Wobble
A Kiss in the Graveyard and
The dust of bones in churches
Lurches forwards, Shudders
and Halts
Bring it up to the earth,
Earth straight from the vaults ~
It’s all your fault
