Th--Music: Something That Happened

A song by Brooke Murphy entitled Something That Happened is the subject of my blog today. Created as an entry for the ever popular Minneapolis-based Immersion Composition Society Lodge "Bullet Lodge", this song screams coolness and color. Well thought out, put together well, it for sure has my ears stuck to it.

It is a song about something that happened. Exactly what happened, I dunno. Perhaps you can decifer the words and come up with an explanation. But, as for now, and for me, it is a song about color. I see colors, shapes, textures when I listen to the song. I love the vocals, the drums, how they smack once in a while, and the almost grainy flavor of the piece.

It also has a mucusy, anatomical feeling to it.

Enjoy.

Something That Happened

Lyrics:
Once there were green enzymes in the distance
They were tackling brown proteins and off-white carbohydrates
My pink eyes could see them through the black binoculars
That I held with my yellow hand
And red stomach acid melted down on them
This was the beginning of the end

Open Office.org

You have probably heard of it by now, but if not, you should try using OpenOffice.org . It is an office suite like Microsoft Office, but it is open source. I like it because I like supporting open source projects, and I like alternatives to Microsoft. OpenOffice is FREE. I like quality free software. OpenOffice.org is mostly compatible with MS Office documents (ie, you can open documents made in MS Office, and save documents in MS Office format). I say mostly compatible because nobody knows what the MS Offics formats are. Even Microsoft Office documents themselves are not compatible with other versions of themselves. Anyways, it is a neat thing they got going on. Go to there website and download the application suite and give it a whirl. http://www.openoffice.org/

The Cephalopod and I

Silently the cephalopod somehow started shuddering as something somewhere suffering screamed out from someones sin. And strangely, when I saw the sin I also started struggling so, to stifle my sensation of a strangling sort of sound. I, descending south and circling, seeking, Swam to save the screaming something. I searched, the sound was sickening; Uncertain, stopped I, listening. The source I sought. The cephalopod, still shaking, swerved and suddenly just stopped and swooned, I ascertained The sound had ceased. I sobbed. Sadly, solemnly, the squid and I, together, side by side, swam home.

The Kitchen

A group of scientists wandered into a kitchen that was full of the sweet smell of freshly baked bread. They quickly discovered that the source was the fine loaf sitting in the oven. Upon inspection, they found that there was no one in the kitchen, so they began developing a theory of how it got there. Examining the contents of the cupboard yielded results. In the cupboard was flour, sugar and salt. There was a source of water from the sink, and in the fridge there were yeast and eggs. They also found butter and oil. They determined that all these ingredients must have swirled and stormed around the room every which way until finally the mixture landed in the oven where it was baked. Sweet!
