If you enjoyed this, maybe even found ideas of records to get, and want to tip your DJ & support the channel to do more of the same and better, you can do so here, it really makes a difference : ko-fi.com/stunty or paypal.me/stuntrockconfusion
It's the middle of the Summer, traditionnaly not the most fertile time in terms of new releases, or so we used to say in the past. The past couple of weeks have been a little frustrating, as a lot of my current quests have proven unsuccessful, with greedy sellers and various droughts, in terms of finding and discovering gems from the past worth our while. While I'm confident this is just a temporary bad luck streak, new releases thankfully keep the joy and challenges on, and there's always the old shelves to rely on.
It’s only when the stars
are lined above a burning
cathedral, charnel house
or theater, when the air
is filled with riffling ashes
that hallow a space where tragedy
& comedy are indistinguishable
that these seeds, too small to see,
take to the wind—
& when they find a soil
rich with the bones of dictators
& clowns, they root, & thrive
if fed the vowels of gallows
confessions: soon you’ll see
buttons mushroom like tiny
nipples on one side, black
& white keys start to show
like chicken bones on the other,
& the bellows concertina
as they breathe. And if you
were born beneath a bad sign,
or boast a lineage of hucksters
& carnival barkers, if no one
you know has been touched
by luck or grace, if you’ve drifted
through your life for years
an accordion may choose you
to bear it, & if you pick it up
after much has come to naught
a music of motion & full
of shadows will begin, a music
for when the president’s statue
is pulled down by a rope,
for when the people waltz
though the town square, or when
the cinema catches fire,
& film strips blizzard the air,
alive with the faces of the dead,
everyone catching beautiful faces
on their tongues, at last
you have an heirloom to pass
to your kids, who will ignore it
until your wake, which will
have lots of parking, & all
the music in the world.
