Choon of the Day

[luka]

I'm with you on that corpsey.

 

[luka]

Craner wants to live in a toe tapping world in which control and poise and elegance are paramount. We want plunge into the abyss and soar to highest heights of the incandescent empyrean

 

[Corpsey]

Puts me in mind of the Elizabethans all being tipsy. Makes me think about people in 1920s New York and Chicago having different nervous systems to ours.

That manic pulse in jazz just seems so alien to our sensibilities. Perhaps because we channelled that stuff through stuff like rave music.

Matthew said he once had a full blown hallucination of 50s-early 60s New York while listening to Giant Steps on the up escalator of tottenham court road station

 

[version]

What do you think of this, Corpse?

 

[Corpsey]

Again, it actually makes me feel anxious. The feeling it gives me reminds me strongly of when I switched medications and started having panic attacks on the tube.

 

[Corpsey]

Barty and Luka hit Cafe OTO

 

[craner]

I want my mind blown, my spirit soared, my soul sauteed.

I don't want to tap my toes, really.

That's a very one-dimensional demand. That's asking jazz to provide one tone, one tempo, one style. But there are others, too.

 

[Corpsey]

I didn't say it was right! It's something I'm (very occasionally) working on.

 

[craner]

Life is all about infinite variety, Corpse.

 

[version]

I'm imagining Corpsey on the tube like this with raucous jazz playing.

 

[craner]

An endless range of consumer choices and leisure options.

 

[luka]

No it's not it's about doing what Luka tells you to

 

[craner]

Millions of Spotify playlists to suit millions of moods and emotions and feelings.

 

[craner]

Luke = totalitarian autarky
Oliver = democratic capitalism

Take your pick, Corpse!

 

[Corpsey]

It's interesting that jazz was so high tempo when it was also so linked with smoking grass or dope or whatever it was called back then.

Of course it also involved a lot of booze.

[Corpsey]

I'm over dosin' again...
I'm over smokin' again...
That potent smoke I'm smokin'...
Is comatosin' my wind...
And I only know a few friends that's also loco to men...(come on)

Who wrote this, do you think? Cam?
