about

My Facebook page got hacked. It was my fault. Georgia and I came up with the idea for the song on the way into Mona one morning. We took turns writing lines on the typewriter then Georgia just sorta improvised while I played organ, then we fiddled with it a bit. I took some loops from a record of Japanese traditional music.

lyrics

I got the data mining blues
Meet myself in Russia South Dakota or Ukraine
I could

Into static pool I drop
Pleasure and pleasure
I am the make model and measure

Data mining blues
Data mining blues again

Lit, lit
It’s lit
The path is lit
And I’m climbing
And I’ll wrap you up
And I’ll tuck you out of sight
ANd the salt blown grass freezes us freezes us
And I may never get out of this chair
I may never get out of this chair
Hmmm data mining blues

Will you be mined?
Will you be mined?
Will you be mined?

Well I wait a measure of victory
A grinning fool for all to see
I await your luxury your symmetry
Your destiny
Plumb the depths of us

Canary whistle from this data mine
Canary whistle from this data mine

Well I woke again with those data mining blues
Hitched myself to a matrix post
And they flayed the skin from my back
Laid out my memory to roast
And now he’s back
I guess it’s all gone now
I guess we’ll have to start again
Again and then
That kabuki lady
She drives me crazy

I‘d forgotten what that argument was even all about
I would be your little devil
You would be my cloud

That little cloud
