Stand Back For the Spare Crumbs

This is probably the first song Pearl Jam relied heavily on the strengths of their rhythm section. Unless of course you count their version of The Who’s “The Real Me” (or any other Who song, for that matter).

The guitar section is relegated to stabs that mislead us to assume that this must be dad’s Funk or gramps’ disco. But this ride is much more unpredictable like Bowie’s Blackstar with Eddie supplying lyrics and vocals that challenge the whole structure to almost ruining it. “It’s not a negative thought, I’m positive!” Positive, Positive.”

This song is not anchored anywhere

To be in a perpetual state of grief

To always sink into a mawkish abyss

Held back, thrust forward, ill-equipped, here-you-go

It was to read as a brief chapter

Now it seems to play as the theme of the whole tome

You, In This Light

You showed up… Or maybe you showed off… It’s all a little murky as it happened… Even now… in controlled recall.

You looked at me the way we stare at the sun… Not for long… All for wrong… Reasons.

I now wear these lemon glasses indoors and

There You Are

An airplane meets a rainbow — There You Are

There are places you avoid even if … It sounded like, then, a great idea… See where it goes…

This is not a rabbit hole… This is a snake pit, reasons for… Why those scars are right… There, both your

If You Must Loathe Yourself

Self-loathing is a trademarked attribute associated not exclusive to me. This path is taken not for the want to be liked but for the want to find a way to like the existing self. There’s no need to expound on motivation any further, as by doing so only subject us to teeter a tightrope that always lead to a tragic fall midway into the pit of ignorance. The imbalance is caused by ignorance, as it tries to qualify an elitist, divisive and corrosive pursuit to brandishing some semblance of uniqueness or establish an exclusive club.

Instead, I wish to explore why

Prolly Nonsense

I stare at it
Remaining blank
Aim some well intended
Empty ideas, I fear
This thing will not get done

I never had the courage and I
Was presumed to be just lazy

Better Guitar

Fender Strat Fiesta Red — “Oh my joy… Only you deserve conceit…”

At a work interview I was asked, “Tell me something about yourself that we do not know about you?” to which I fumbled the answer, big time, by hastily responding what could be inside my heart and launched recklessly to the top of my head “I’m a better guitar player than a card dealer!”

Now, of course, the worst thing that can happen to an interview is to turn it into an interrogation. Ideally you want to use this period to lift yourself up, sometimes you dig yourself a hole.

All I wanted to say was that I am better at being creative than being a cog in a machine.

Pop Radio Once

“So, who’s your favorite dj?” Pan, with the voice of god, asked. We were kids talking shop. Talking about pop radio history since when we started paying attention to it. I froze because Louie D. and Jude Rocha is kiss-ass obvious. It was 2002, Chico and Del just left RX, so that may be a spot that either of us would want to discuss with mostly innuendo and 3rd hand information. Besides, I was just 2 weeks in to the internship glamorously named “student jock”. My real answer was Hill-Billy Willy, the first name that came to mind; him with Rudolph Rivera and voice characters the Count, and Grover, shamelessly ripped-off Sesame Street by smile radio, 93.9 DWKC.

DWKC is a precursor of the mass-radio format prevalent today. Yet, the archaic format of KC would sound too “pa-class” with the current FM mass-radio genre, most of which would probably attribute their style with Martin D. of ABS-CBN’s DWRR. But today’s version try to outdo each other as a better incarnation/abomination that is Love Radio.

By luck or circumstance, WKC was able to liberally play Andrew E.’s
