formulae
friends,
episode 737 finds me wondering about songs;
what makes them work (when they work),
and what doesn't (when they don't),
et. al.
maybe there's a simple + obvious
solution i'm missing,
and it's not quite
as mysterious
as it seems??
could be.
nonetheless,
it feels mysterious,
+ miraculous,
frustrating,
confusing,
+ (often, but not always) inspiring,
all the same.
related, this is - a beautiful mind,
and this is - john nash
if all goes well,
next week will be our 2020
christmas with kris hauch podcast
extravaganza.
kris visited a few weeks back,
and you can listen in @ episode 733.
if u haven't already,
you can also find the new norway house album
tonight's songs:
- if it's not you (live demo, 2017)
- heartshaped ("live", 2020)
- everything revolves around absence (live, 2020)
thank you for being here.
i hope you'll - join me.
love,
russell

most importantly
friends,
episode 736 is here,
+ brings us to december.
i'm still finalizing
ten small songs
for my 2020 homemade project,
+ listening for new ones
as they appear.
related, this is - the poem i mentioned:
"...(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands..."
this is - e.e. cummings,
+ this is - the movie clip.
best of all,
here's the entire poem - read by e.e. cummings.
the songs:
- i'm gone now too (cat eyes, 2016)
- it's the most important thing (demo, 2020)
- lollipop (h-nd t- g-d, 2017)
i'm
thankful
yr
here,
+ hope you'll - join me.
love,
russell
