Infinite Improbability .. the end started yesterday.. White Cube soundtrack one of the most overlooked aster works by Brian Eno, how do I describe the five album series that were just beyond anyones ability to "get" it... There is no way so I won't bother here.. Simply put if you don't understand with the bells study album and this White Cube then keep playing Justin Beiber because that is where you belong.. Just joking, actually those two albums by Brian Eno are more sound collage than anything.. I had said at one point that the reason I didn't care for the early works of Tangerine Dream was because I thought if it as sound collage, but for them it really was a turn off.. These albums by B.O. were better suited for being done now, sound collage or not, being able to have a fuller sound than they had back in the early sixties.. And more control over exactly what he was trying to make.. Imagine having the keyboard and all the dials and switches that there could be now?? One of the things that Edgar and Chris complained the most about back in the sixties was keeping the equipment in tune, and having to constantly retune during a show and that more often than not meant tuning during the song they were in the middle of.. Quite interesting to hear the melotron they were using cut out for a few seconds and then it was back on again.. The album Soundmill Vavigator was released more as a way to show exactly that, a full set, a single song but a long track that they would use to get more ideas from.. To listen to their Virgin album catalog you can hear which album set of ideas begot the next album, and yes I am talking about Rubycon, from that came Ricochet then Logos to Tangram.. You want to hear evolution of a band by their entire Virgin label set or the box set Tangents.. But that's not what I'm here to talk to you about today... Politics... Take that Donald Trump fans.. Listen, if he picks Sarah Palin as his running mate then he was never serious about being elected.. He might get a couple million idiot hillbillies and hicks to vote for him but the truth is America will have to show that we are decent people and elect Hillery or Bernie because otherwise people will buy bomb shelters en mass, starting in November and hopping Trump and Palin can keep their sticky fingers off the button for at least the first ninety days of their go of it.. Fat chance..
Do you think there is a snow balls chance in hell of that know nothing getting elected? My initial thought back when he announced was no way, but from day one he polled high, and while most in the establishment of the GOP as well as the DNC thought this was just a false set of numbers I seriously thought this idiot was striking a nerve with people out there and so when the opening primaries started to show Trump was winning, everyone thought, he won't get far.. This was something I feared most, he found what Americans wanted most, a non established, non political politician.. Unpolished, so willing to brush people in the opposite direction that he is a breath of fresh air.. Fresh yet poluted air, as he kept using his so's your mother rhetoric and it seems to be what Americans are wanting.. Can he win in November?? I hate to say this but YES.. YES HE CAN and why?? He will likely hit on that phrase that pays, he will leave the "make America great again" and get some other odd ass phrase that they will put on placards everywhere.. Sort of like that one way back when, taking a phrase from a well known commercial.. "WHERE'S THE BEEF".. And running with it.. Can Trump win?? Yes, but the more they dig up on him the less I think he will.. Hopefully ...

(P.S. by the way this Saturday's video on I.I. was my favorite of the entirety of them.. Guesswerkorange is the final credits video, the final credits that are usually run at the end of the movie.. Pardon the sense of humour, most of it tongue in cheek, it was done several years ago and was never meant as anything more than for me to watch when I was feeling down.. )
