Zero. So wild how Denise still resonates. Would be great to see again. I don’t recall getting sent a crew copy, but I’ll check when back in NYC this wk.
btw, all interior apt sets (& prod office) were in a palatial brownstone on 70th St & Madison Av

Rediscovered Time Zero in a June “unreleased 2010s” drafts folder clean-out. By Fall, the track became what I most played to myself to extend thoughts of a quiet future on disarrayed days. https://t.co/ypjNWAfIJF

My heteronym daydream cowboy Stryker West said it was high time for another country-fried set, so who was I to refuse? The covers here focused mostly on Texas, as tribute to a dear friend Taylor Rierden. Stryker neglected to play any Willie Nelson, however, and for that, he will have to atone with another set sometime soon.

00:30 – You & Tequila (K.Chesney)
04:50 – Love In This Land
10:05 – Jupiter + Tennessee
13:50 – I’ve Been All Around This World (J.Garcia)
19:05 – Don’t Touch My Willie (K.Fowler)
23:30 – Just A Little Insane
27:30 – Sunset Boulevard (C.Robison)
33:36 – Elizabeth City

A fav song took on new resonance in late May when I escaped NYC for a few days, for the first time since December 2019. Performed in Bridgehampton NY, interspersed w/ footage from the heaviest part of NYC’s (1st?) lockdown from March to May.
Original Version on Sunrise Highway (2015)
Lyrics
I set out walking, just to find a friend,
Make a human connection in a world of pretend,
To share faith in the future, in the face of decay,
‘Cos when you can’t escape the night, every dawn is the end of days.
Walls get high,
Darkness amplifies,
There goes the sky.
You can understand, doesn’t mean you feel.
The hardest things to show are the easiest to conceal.
Actions can destroy more than words can heal.
God save us all when all the truths are revealed.
Walls get high.
Darkness amplifies.
There goes the sky.
06 Sep 2020.
Sound check on Limelight app. Unreleased track “Time Zero” surrounded w/ some loose texture and tone. Sometimes ideas that disappear for a a few years all of a sudden calculate their worth in retrospect. “Write it forward,” is a mode I know well.
LYRICS
Things got strange
Sequences rearranged
Machines crashed
Systems disarrayed
Take us back, take us back
Rewind the line
To when we knew love
for the first time!
Time Zero
Soundscapes
Beauty in the everyday
But light and wisdom
Are not the default state
Easy to lose your way
and lash out in blame
because some people you never shake,
some memories never fade
Take us back, take us back
Rewind the line
To when we knew love
for the first time!
Time Zero
Let the memories fade.
No worries. Archived on the app. Enjoy wherever the day takes you!

Stationary Chevy update: No longer still.
After 33 months in the same spot on our block, gone baby gone. We got DUB’s story, tho, from the owner, an FDNY EMT on a mission to recreate Alonzo Harris’s 1979 Monte Carlo in Training Day.

Turning a fringe into a fractal of overall dissent is the easiest (and laziest) way out of any “political problem.”

Sold as means to stop “violence” and restore “peace,” curfews for adults, in practice, amplify the violent to silence the peaceful.
They are always win-win for Authority™️, b/c the most peaceful dissent is always the most threatening.
