Wire : Map Ref 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W

. . . and so, yeah, I want it to tell you story but then blah blah blab and me fold me up in me box and poof gone. All static, now, like 1960s B+W Zenith TV. It’s a relief. I heard this quote a few months ago : “What you pay attention to grows”, and I’m ready to walk on by.

If you want a funny illustration of the Wire tune, you may find a video here. It will require some research to understand, but even the mildly curious can drop a song title into Google, so knock yourself out. I interviewed Alex Paterson of the Orb once. I was obsessed then with the idea of music as sonic architecture, and its ability to create a psychological, geometric type of “mind palace“, though I’m completely wrecking that term. I asked him if, when he created music, he assembled it architecturally, as an environment to enhance a psychological experience. He thought I was bonkers. And I was. And still am. A fool.

I’m good with that.

Good night.
