the detective gets his best ideas
in the bath with a blank book & an empty pen
he cannot write texts
in absence of second hand phone.
scorned.
frayed green give up record threads
scattered on the bathroom floor
the carpet composed mostly of cat hair moult.
nah, i exaggerate;
the bath is half full
the pen half empty
it's nib familiar with his fingernails' undersides
maybe he's writing in resin
or some other unidentified black dirt
and the whole thing has run out
and he hasn't even noticed.
having only just thrown up
the greasiest burger
i think a certain fast food chain has yet to serve him.
his puke & phlegm matted beard
will be disappeared tomorrow.
and you can feel the fresh skinhead
of a velcro haired
and ultimately blank canvassing identity crisis.
and all the best lines
never come out when i'm trying to write in rhymes
as you can clearly see
or well maybe you can't.
i took my name from the wrong man.
i should have been a parasite pinched between index fingers.
writing round the drips
like pitfalls in page.
piss somewhere between honey nut loopesque cereal
and the way cigarettes
can only really taste on a decent pill
which is all way behind me these days i'm afraid
but still
i can look back in nostalgia
and occaisonly get long latent buzz up my spine
like back of the head ritalin tickle
reminding me of lice
i would scratch at paranoid
jumping out my whole skin
every time another random battle begins.
the family unit has now become a festering boil.
it's not safe anymore giving you four walls to go mad in...
nor a roof over your head.
you'd be better off outside
conforming to impress real people
who will judge you without bias.
i'd like to make some new friends
but i'm too old, too tired
too cold, too wired to make sense
and i'm sick of dumbing myself down.
we have nothing in common
if you can't complete bubble bobble
then you are not suitable girlfriend material
in the slightest.
and this chemical doesn't affect you anymore anyway.
but lack of it would any make you worse.
i'm no idiot savant, more your average idiot.
using long words to look intelligent?
yes.
i never intended my ideas to be so easily communicated.
i'd rather you dig deep
but give up when you hit concrete
i'm quite secretive in what i announce.
the layers of meaninglessness collide
& cancel each other out.
there are red herrings buried between lines i shout:
i'm dispensing beautifully crafted lies for my own amusement
yes mine, not yours
in one way it would be purer if i threw every recording away straight after making it
and playing it to no-one but my recycle bin
i care about the environment as much as i care about myself.
in fact, more.
looking in the mirror
and seeing my old landlord's face instead of mine
why? what's the hidden meaning?
the best advice that anyone's ever given me is dreaming is not always profound.
thank god for that or i'd be in a lot of trouble right now.
i've made the worst first impression you can probably get
and still you stick up for me when really i don't deserve it
every time i make a prick of myself i never learn if
it's the product of too many chemicals or not enough.
i'd like to say that drugs have never been my scapegoat.
but if i did say that, then you'd laugh in my face.
and how exactly does one go about dying of exposure?
i thought it was something only a celebrity would suffer from.
should i stop being such a skinflint
and actually turn my heating on
when i haven't even got guests?
is this a product of brainfreeze, malignant at best?
should i pull down my bobble hat,
muffle out mr.bungle
& negate the whole point of enjoying a new soundcard?
have i really the heart to tell people what i really think?
something's rotten
there's a stink that wafts out like an aura from my pores
like water vapour in the form of evaporated sweat
this headcold i think i caught off ben
is doing strange things to my pen.
why not be that contrite & make everything rhyme?
hah, like real life's that neat.
and you know this would be a nice city
if our council actually cared.
no listen - this has to stop now. you can't carry on like this.
your money your life and your meaningless trinkets
this is not all i have to say.
write NO on the back of your hand every day
until it becomes as familiar as that obvious cliche
i'm not going to mention here for the oblivious.
this is a private message to myself, as much as you.
there is too much exposition here.
as the description of our tunes becomes yet more convoluted,
i find is my mocking of pretentiousness any less a pretence?
(myself and andreas crossed this sentence out twice)
(we had a much better line but lost it forever...
like so many unrealised ideas)
for deaf viewers at home there will be a picture here:
it's a house with 4 windows & a chimney on fire.

SONG COMPOSTITION & LYRICS
whoa, ok. i'm struggling for context here;
i kinda like where you're trying to go with this,
but you're either missing something or you're years ahead of everything...
make the songs a little more various, get a direction to the material.
6/10
the structure wasn't a main part of the tunes which in effect caused any good parts to be swamped out.
the projection of the vocals meant every track sounded lifeless
5/10
live hiphop in all its forms is a slippery beast & the empty room doesn't help with clarifying the sound.
that said, it still sounds very messy.
it's all about the beats, but they're frequently drowned out by the smothering 'ambient' samples
and the, frankly, irritating beatboxing.
live rapping requires stripping down the sound so we can actually hear what's being said
(it'll also then
5/10
COLLECTIVE ABILITY OF MUSICIANS
there's no shortage of ideas here, and the programming shows promise -
if the beats become a bit more prominent.
beatboxer competent but over-used.
vocals rushed & samey - slow down, breathe, relax.
6/10
the beatboxer has a lot of talent, give him room in your tracks to shine.
6/10
eliminate the need to to tell me what the song's about,
on the off chance anyone gives a fuck)
once the frontman had calmed down a little, at least everything kept in time
but there's very little light & shade to differentiate the songs.
curiously, more
5/10
STAGE PRESENTATION & PERFORMANCE
ah, it's tough for electronic acts.
the masks were a good idea,
but either play up to the mystery or just go for the "bunch of guys" angle.
music needs to be mixed sharper for live performance,
vox need more definition, less mumbling, more variation.
5/10
very odd stage banter, unintentionally camp,
nice 'gimmick' of masks but the lack of energy from the other members
was mirrored by the awkward frontman,
who doesn't have to explain his songs
2/10
could be done at the sample delivery level
rather than hitting the 'loop' button and letting it run.
visually it was all a bit static, but then the music never really threatened to inspire movement
5/10
POTENTIAL
certainly not a saturated market around here,
but you need to get either sharper or nastier to become a viable live act.
it's a show... so perform some, you grok?
6/10
there were many brief moments of creative potential
but the lack of any direction caused these to be lost & forgotten.
less is more :)
6/10
from band nor audience.
this all sounds relentlessly negative,
which is a shame as i would imagine there's potential for something fine here.
it's just very, very one
5/10
OVERALL COMMENTS
you're either taking too many drugs, or not enough!
seriously, though - interesting & bold effort, but needs a real good polish.
6/10 - 29/50
i'm all for experimental hip-hop
but this has to be backed up with creativity, talent and showmanship
refine everything back to the basics,
use your beatboxer more.
get more variety in vox
6/10 - 23/50
note at the moment & the vocals never pause for breath.
simply reproducing a recorded product will not work live
and that is what needs fundamentally changing
as, currently, it all just seems like noise.
5/10 - 25/50

MOTLEY:
as thick as thieves: an altercation for jabberwock fractals in grimethorpe park. hey shipwreckhead, there's a fascist dictator trapped inside everyone....
a bus stop in deep countryside is a lighthouse in pure darkness a haven of everything that civilisation should probably stand for... nothing scans better than a victim in a memorable hammock he will not drink from the mug with the incorrect horoscope. the biggest pusher writes prescriptions.... and in joined-up thinking. i even speak to the alkie who sleeps in a bus shelter as if he was a normally functioning human being! i treat my parents like my i treat my ex-girlfriends - grudgingly. enter the meatrix:
"i have an eating disorder, it's called being poor" me and my cat watched 'back to the future 2' but he talked all the way through and didn't really understand it. (an indian in your wing mirror)

christine's wedding typically contained
old faces it's embarassing to see again
but traditional to speak to.
the rotten lump of meat in my back garden
is sponsored by the rotten lump of meat company (plc)
flies buzz through my window like a glass cutting drill.
we were too mack in passing the pills
and no way was i ever taking that many anyway.
they split into trivial pursuit segments of cheese.
reading a woman's magazine
over hayley's shoulder
at the bar
unfortunately si comes over
and then it's all smiles for the thieving cheat.
in science today mr. hill made a joke about the new immigrant kid being called 'klena'
he said "here's your broom"
and the rooms jaws just dropped.
she just laughed it off and sat down
tool blaring out her earphones under lavender hair
(or sky blue, depending on the light).
keira knightley & chloe james chester
argue with me on how easy it is to pull.
"for you, maybe" i tell the unlikely two
and brush the cut grass off my trousers
and make for the bar...
and end up pulling down shelves in a supermarket
in frustration at being busted for drugs i didn't even want...
i don't think i even took one....
but i do feel weird now.
i pull a baggie of green out of my pocket
that they somehow missed
and add it to four other bags of different shit
and mix it all up
as i wake up puff-less, why get up?
to play manhunt and push down stairs
kick legs the same method everytime
it's getting tiring.
somewhat repetitive visions of south downs collage

in this bedroom you can see your breath
what's better than walking off almost any known psychosis?
the idios kosmos of an idiot savant as point & click / graphic adventure
which yes again sounds almost as pretentious as calling comics graphic novels
respawn, left click, right click, respawn, DIE
swap leads round when in need of sleep
and make toast at three in the morning;
eat.
and your gold discs on the walls are all cheap CD-Rs...
in this nictotine induced ketamin latency ASIO flashback
you can hardly see the ceiling your feet are adhered to
stepping round broken lightbulb glass floor
bite masking tape in half to keep my hoodie's hood affixed.
but it feels like the top of my head is coming off when i smile too hard
i yawn till i dislocate my jaw.
and the co-op has raised the price of it's loaves three times in as many days
it's said.
i write my name in condensation or on an isle of wight rock
only to watch it erode away
i can't seem to achieve permenance.

for some reason everything was blue and through a fish eye lens
jesus wept septic tank tears
nothing was sober
alcohol and toothpaste breath
led
to a process of transfermentation
watch eyes aglow
as the mould grows
over your face
and when shaving
the stray hairs spell out messages
mostly with S's in them
and then the plumbing retches up your solidified cement phlegm
from who knows when
and then finishing you return to your bedroom
clutching handfuls of beard hair
the carrier bag as bin is building up quite a voodoo collection
far scarier than bank statement identity theft.
don't like to look people in the eye or even the face when engaging in conversation?
i find the best way is to stare at blank television!
this empty eggshell's safe and warm
you could crawl under a jigsaw piece fall asleep
and wake up a better person
ah for psychogenic fugue
on the mobius strip's loop
doomed to deja vu
repeat the same scene over and over and over and over
until you learn the lines.
i'm the microwave equivalent of making masks for the leukemia gala
this is proactive policing for peaches & crime
i sleep like a nun and smoke waterbeds whole
i'm the sick deer lying diagonally up the stairs to the third floor of your new house that only exists in a dream
and kind of reminds you of your dead greyhound
in scumper & double-glazed sunglasses i protect myself against psychics
who are clutching broken arms cards close to their chest infections
i don't even know when i'm joking
i'm restless, impatient & very, very dull.
see:
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT
routine broken
re-routed into random displays
of whatever's not nailed down
what you confiscate
the bandaged motherboard is the prime scapegoat
from now on i'm never expressing an opinion
my throat is set with cement phlegm, look
I fill my sketchpad with words
i have your plate and eat it
fear not for lucrative bus station blues
TV stops the lonely from going loopy...
the hypoallergenic memory gland spouts inventive invective into the full-bellied minds of the hungry.

i feel like i'm in government
i'm paid to do nothing but
i spend my time writing words on t-shirts
yes i wear t-shirts with words on
i'm going to change the world.
when i'm out in the street i see people reading me
because i wear t-shirts with words on
i'm going to change the world
i write my messages backwards like emergency services
so i am endressed for reflection.
you can see me shop at withit & smiths for permenant marker
my top is so humourous, you can tell instantly i'm cool.
my hoodie's hilarious, listen to this one:
"dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians"
can you get any more pure comedy than that?
i have noted revolutionary adorning my sportswear
i dunno what he stood for, but he has a cool face.
i liked rage against the machine, i cried when they split up
who will supply my controversial shirt slogans now?
they printed how to make a molotov on one piece of merchandise
but responsibly left one vital ingrediant out.
yeah, we got ironic swastikas...
we got tops with swearwords cunningly mispelled...
we got circles with 'A's in the middle...
we got beanie hats with cannabis leaves on
(could we make it any easier for the police?)
we got misfits shoelaces, charity bracelets & skull sweatbands.
one day we arranged to meet up in the park
to show off our new rebellious slogans
and pete showed up with the same guevara shirt on as me
and i left his longsleeve torn & bloody.
"conflict resolved"
'cause i wear shirts with slogans on
beats being a corporate sandwich board i suppose...
i am not like the pikeys wearing shirts with shoes & shops on
no
my sweatshop-assembled statements show my non conformity
because i wear t-shirts with words on
i'm going to change the world.

are YOU the light of someone's life?
no, you are showing your age
i'm so backward i record off myspace onto tapes
an empty cage in a window display is no pet shop
my presence elects the negative, for after all,
sometimes it's actually ruder to say "excuse me"
past the art supply shop...
proudly displaying small paintings of playboy bunnies
(like it's some big thing)
these days i need drugs to enjoy anything...
and this is no exception!
therapists are trying to reprogram the world on too small a scale
it won't work.
like 20,000 rubberducks adrift in the pacific ocean...
but the seas have gone stagnant, train graveyard conveyer
you can't buy that kind of class - because it's free.
anoxia is an optional extra to any passengers in first class.
oh to lose a debit card on a bank holiday...
nothings / let's
ever / put the
clean / world to
enough / rights again
= "a romanticised concept."
and hey,
have you ever been round, er,
women whose menstrual cycles have synchronised?
i heard it's like twice as good as acid telepathy?
i can only hope they're still finding bits of my fingernails now
and have finally worked out how to feed a cat properly.
you came in stinking /slash/ reeking of other people's perfume again...
there's nothing like walking down, for example
bognor high street after midnight
when you're the only one around
inciting imaginary traffic
in a display of cowardice.
and commerce is not dead
it's just sleeping.
unblock congestion charges with the brand new solution
that every policeman should be a unique superhero with an individualised costume.
oh, and all MPs should get minimum wage
"wow."
98% of children say they love their parents.
it's your dog's reputation that they're trying to ruin
every wish i've ever made has come true
but too late.
who would be hiding between cars at this hour?
or singing about carat gold to tune of chindie
or chip-hop.
crowd noise breaks the language barrier entwining useless id.
at the burning man handing out a hundred wrong versions of our 'big hit'.
"yeah, my mate discovered DNA..." <-- (actual big brother '08 contestant quote)
the portsmouth it girls DJ and everything.
oh to lose a debit card on a bank holiday...
nothings / let's
ever / put the
clean / world to
enough / rights again
= "a romanticised concept."
please don't be yourself in public, it's embaressing.
everyone should be made to look like idiots occaisonly
it's for their own good
it's for our own good
like a toothbrush matted with dry blood,
chances scuppered by the most prolific peppering of pus.
people like us shouldn't have little brothers to look up to.
my life is a ridiculously fragile soap bubble of imagined ideals:
so easilly burst.
from now on i'm only writing songs that the caged bird likes
and cuts along to one slice at a time
like a straightened paperclip scraped
in the webby flesh found between fingers
in time to radio preachers, or maybe some plagiarists beats.
it seems the freezer keeps food longer than human lifespan:
it will outlive you.
you can't draw blood, don't try
in absence of red biro i will simply describe
a fridge with an empty plug socket instead.

Threepwood's lament
03:07
|
|||
they say "threepwood, why you rap so fast? we can't hear your lyrics.."
i'm just showing off the fact i can hold my breath for ten minutes
that's why i happily gave up those mints to that pirate in prison
and advise cannibal villages on vegetarianism.
although i can't get served without my library card, despite the beard;
"i don't want a shirley temple barman, i want a beer!"
or some viscous green liquid that makes your phlegm thick.
despite this i still cheated in the spitting contest
anyway, all i got was this stupid t-shirt
my occupation to me is a good way of avoiding real work
sometimes i feel the smirk threaten to wrap round my whole face
other times i shit myself in the face of battle and run away
but you might as well turn and face
a man when he's waving your effigy in doll form, all stuck with pins
under an abandoned theme park, where this ends & begins.
i discard any legends that you might have heard after.
that was an imposter, i grew up & became a plasterer...
but i saw the games on the shop shelves after i sold the stories of my exploits to lucasarts
the bastards fired ron gilbert & continued to draft the story where i was supposedly found lost at sea
floating in a dodgem car... a cop-out if you ask me
and no-one will ever know what really happened next, no-one except me
and i'm keeping my cards close to my chest.
i mean, i already have an impending court case against disney
for the events depicted within a certain film with a nautical theme
i admit it, i wish i'd been in pirates of the carribbean
but they said i was far too, uh, "unintentionally camp"
they needed someone more macho
i looked like i worked in a bank.
"no, but i have done adverts for one..." i protested as they shoved me out the back door
i wasn't even shown it first.
and these days no-one makes the point & click games anymore, anyway.
maybe i could get a guest appearance in the new sam & max game, that's all...
i tried to get hold of them but they won't return my calls...
i remember plugging them and bobbin from loom...
now george from broken sword gets more work than i do.
and i heard bernard from day of the tentacle is now serving burgers that are almost inedible
in some star wars sponsored franchise fast food frenzy.
oh, and lucas - those three prequels were shit!
and we are pleased you are not doing more.
no, this song above is shit.

my parents always said to me that money doesn't grow in floating blocks with question marks on that you batter with your head

i promise.
computer games have lied to me.
i spent the whole day hiding numbered packages around this city for GTA fans to find
and i got done for littering and loitering.
and saving the princess leads to visits from the gutterpress for the rest of your decidedly unprivate life.
and i discovered you can't patch mortal wounds up with pizza
or jump off a cliff and not break your legs cause you're wearing a bulletproof vest.
and as for collecting miscellanous fruit & veg?
it got me nowhere.
other than considering opening my own grocers.
hilarious i know.
you can't walk on clouds or bounce on bubbles
and in real life people lock their cars and have less dialogue.
i cut scenes like a merciless editor ruining a primetime film on ITV.
i'd like to see the day that someone really says:
"i know the devil exists... i've built his cage!"
in fact i view my life far too much like i've taken distant control of a sim.
leave everything to last minute, burn candle at both ends
sell rare possessions for potions and regret it much later.
in a way it would make more sense staying up all night playing computer games
instead of trying to write about them.
or the pointless attempts at recollection of the contents of the old filing cabinet
that in childhood i filled with scrawled rip-offs of sonic zones
when everything was in two dimensions it seemed so easy to be a level designer when i grew up
i mean, i get lost in real life enough without having to draw maps for platformers
and shoot 'em ups these days leave me cold...
"he can't cope with first person"
you can't see your feet when leaping bottomless pits & other physically impossible obstacles...

little cat.
as you eat your cat biscuits
and munch your rank smelling whiskas tuna food
and i cook my coffee of the day in a boiling kettle of water.
sometimes i find the most exciting things to freestyle about in the morning
like how the kettle's boiling
oh yeah
it's about to make a clicking sound that's very satisfying
it just did.
"RESIDENTS ONLY"
earthquake in milton!
survivors huddle in the pub
a scarecrow like figure arrives with man dressed as magpie
backing away from the woodlouse, he speaks:
"there is a conspiracy between the three major music channels
to time their advert breaks so they run simultaenously"
the other agrees that rap is at it's worst when contorted into PARTY MUSIC
it's painfully twisted limbs in coffin position for the simian
plus the others throwing shapes
in a club where no music plays
but everyone's dancing the same
this is the shepard's life
rainbows reflecting off leather jackets with retro backpatches
insignia of gangs that don't exist
the gist of the matter is
the motorcycle mechanic's outlook on life
or as i call it
brutally pointless survival
we will freeze your tears to add to our brand new polar ice cap replacements
we will build a hairpiece to cover the gap the ozone layer seeps out from
"we're coal miners, ain't we? we'll dig a tunnel and hide from meteor!"
"tentacles n' all"
on a flattened rubik's cube landscape reminiscent of light cycle game from tron
your mathematics is given physical form

this humidity is killing me

MOTLEY:
i lost value as soon as you took me out the packaging
and bent broke & lost my badly made implements & weapons
now there are mysterious toothmarks in the red chute
and oxygen has somehow intruded inside
i stick my fingers into the dripping bull dyke to save the damn
i want no thanks just a stepladder & 3 kinds of lightbulb for my fallout shelter
i will no longer write down my superstitions
i'm afeared this makes them more real
like belief is the force that fuels faith healing
am i speaking in tongues?
call the exorcist...
amd ask him to buy some garlic
a pair of odd socks
and a thousand poppyseeds banned from marks & spencers xmas crackers
for containing trace amounts of raw opium
gather round and debate on my pencil case's latest big name additions
meticously copied logos in tippex & multicoloured biros
i'm happy with my stationary
you can keep your vinyl
i'm too old for the increasingly youthful charts
but a respectable age to become a writer
if only i could start making sense
and stop being so coldly self-referential
vaguely insolent and tactlessly manipulative
in shadows clinging to my skin like rain soaked clothes
cosy dark
cold light
i wasn't brought up
i was dragged up
you can't glamourise the drudgery of teaching
a profession no-one envies
let the minutes of this meeting show that no-one even turned up
so i got my head down
and rested my eyes
a flywheel rolled away down the grassy knoll
by the back garden of my old house
and span several full rotations like a hyperactive planet
before coming to rest outside a pawn shop
the brilliant sunlight playing off its surface
in a billion random points of light
last night i dreamt another well-known died
and i woke up checking i don't have a tonguebar.
ODYNOPHAGIA:
roll with dysentery from a disinterested yet complicit commisioner
Suspicion too!
Did they say I'm the assistant to the complicit who commisioned you.
Outdismay their condition through "He's safe now" (a barbed reliance)
as my fathers took bleeding though a vibratory skull pick-ups I....
Feeling my cut mouth in the stone mall convinced I was destined to die young/
Now Hangler slide on clothesline test yet I'm sequestered from high rungs/
Bitch I've fed tolls, close my eyes and swing this lead pole, laugh as heads roll/
stuttering guttered teens have O negate drain dreams/
To attain their beams, step away from the thresher in relation to what I wrought/
Pass segatious to sewing your ears shut as translation of a thought/
You're on the bench B/ essentially first desensitize your penis head/
Impotent? check your homies spleen for meds/
Dont wait around! I've seen you dead, in a nursing room,
times illusion of sliding scale, why abide its rails,
I hide the trident in 35, face alter and hide in jail
MOTLEY:
the TV granny scammer he was N/A he was NFA
by the time the season's shown his spastic tremors as we see him onscreen
i fish a flea out of the water i just drank
glare at the cat cramps from the joypad
a packet of menthodex a year past it's best before date
i am currently embroiled in a tumultuous mission
to go down the shops and buy a lighter strictly clipper
i don't expect anyone else to live by my rules that's the first sign of madness
as newly intelligent livestock e.g. cattle
agree to carry on before as normal in a peace treatyesque deal but with certain diplomatic perks
because we defend their farms against these oversize chess pieces
building grid systems over wasted green
the pieces we then eat inbetween archery practice
piercing civilian shaped targets incurs a minus score
ah to meet the devil at the crossroads at midnight
and offer him the bump deal of my soul.
severed ladies fingers stick from out our cocktails
to help us bring up the inevitable sick in the afterglow
we feast on forcefed geese down a funnelwebbed throat
spiced with human seeds garlic and ginger
you see every single wanker on this planet's an abortion doctor
so repress yourself, shut up and get back in line.
