Shell shocked! (Shell shocked!)"


*The world is a dangerous place. It can fill even the Father with pride that leads to his downfall
with discouragement and fear that prostitutes his divine message for human approval.

An old story is told of The Father who expecting to wow the citizens.
He walked out of the glass bullet-proof ear-protector cage after the speech bombed, again,
“What happened?” he asked naively.

The answer is as clear as a case of CVI.
 "You should have gone up the way you came down, you could have come down like you went up".
It's too late now.

A loose translation of a lesson by  H. B. Charles. Thank you, good sir.

"Go cry on somebody else's Shoulder"

*Having just completed Twin Peaks - The Return, which will be remembered as his tour de force farewell, I have been transported to David Lynchland. The OST of his full-length movie debut Eraserhead, created with sound designer Alan Splet and released by I.R.S. Records in 1982, presaged many genres and provided a consistent low-level background noise in every unnervingly unique scene.
