A recent one:
“Please explain, so I don’t need a brain”
(just now realizing that J may actually be singing “…so I don’t even dream”, but I prefer it how I used to hear it)
Cool read, Rory seems like a fun kid 🙂
(This also begins to explain why uncle Lou thanks Rory for being Rory on the album)Agree all the “can I” lines were getting a bit old already on Beyond. That said, if Stick a toe in had been dropped for a more interesting tune, that complaint would be much less valid for IBOS.
Still digging the album…Loving the new album here. Feels really inspired and fresh. Gotta listen some more though.. much more

I always loved Karma, but haven’t listened to it for ages… now where do I have it? Was it in our cellar when it got flooded?
Hard to believe that album came out 15 years ago. 15 years ago feels more like… Green Mind or something.
Great song, haven’t listened to it for some time.
Nice! Hearing J reciting somehow made me immediately think of William Burroughs’ reciting his own thanksgiving prayer…
Sorry Stefka, but 2:12 and "I’m a critic of science" did not exactly convince me that this dude is brilliant…
To do science is to try to figure out how nature works, by letting nature show you the way, as opposed to thinking that you are clever enough to be able to come up with a model of nature (whether using psychedelics or not.. ) without even caring much to double-check with nature if it is actually behaving according to that model. McKenna’s timewave zero / novelty theory (which I now just read a bit about) comes to mind…
I could go on at length but Feynman says it best for me:

But then I don’t remember much from physics class, so it could be that 3db is actually a lot.
I also picked up a flawed copy a couple of weeks ago, so it seems like there are still quite a lot of them out there in stores…
A 3db increase represents pretty much exactly a doubling in power (10 to the power of 3/10 is 1.99526…), so "sounds twice as loud" is right on the money.
