Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: February 2007
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 19, 2007. Roxy Music - King Crimson - Yes (& Genesis, ELP, Soft Machine, etc.). Driving it home is the fact they cross-pollinated heavily. Phil Collins and Robert Fripp played on Eno's solo albums. Eno and Fripp played on/produced Wyatt's 2nd Matching Mole album. To sum it up: check out King Crimson, Roxy Music and Soft Machine.

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: April 2007
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 04, 2007. Another 'only in SF' type of story. Bicycle Riders go on a RAMPAGE! And the people respond here. And the Noose is already making a play. In fact most people who are given credit for being good people generally follow the same distribution of assholes as any other group of people (as in there's a lot, possibly more than the population average). Mothers, nurses, teachers, priests, you-name-it. No one was shocked when the Dukies were accused, why should we be shocked now?

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: December 2006
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. The importance of music. We exchanged a lot," says Roedelius, his face gently creasing into a grin. "The main thing we exchanged was don't take music too serious. Life is more serious.". Roedelius of Cluster, from here. A true-ism if there ever was one. And being a counter-dominant-culture type in. And if making music is relatively un-serious fare, how less serious should writing about music be considered relative to Life? Before I was born. Granted there are other things t...

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: March 2007
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 04, 2007. Hippy Punks, no Punky Hips. Maybe teds and mods fought it out on the Beachs in mid 60's and Hardcore thugs beat down on longhairs and wierdo's in rough-and-tumble early '80's OC, but is that something to aspire too? Between their first and second albums they released a live record that was a split with the Here and Now. Who were the Here and Now? Some other righteous forward thinking punk band? All that is to say two things: it really is not all that surprising that Tim Yohannon o...

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: September 2006
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 28, 2006. This is really tedious. Posted by furtanic at 2:36 PM. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. In an effort to be more lettered, more well-read, I decided to read. The first volume of Proust's. In Search of Lost Time. Is there any inherent value in being well-read or as in my case of having read. In lieu of whatever. I don't have a strong opinion on it. With some irony it can be noted that. In Search of Lost Time. And what to expect of one? But what to read next? Birth of the Clinic,.

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: January 2007
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 31, 2007. With Sabbath it's most apparent on the first side of "Paranoid" between the twin towers of "War Pigs" and "Iron Man", both songs that push the past the six minute mark, but could easily be longer. The power of the riffs work because of both their simplicity and the space between them. Black Sabbath isn't slow, they just know how to make their point. It's then not surprising that a '71 era radio recording (on the boot Ruck Zuck! Posted by furtanic at 12:58 PM. The switch in ti...

Monday, October 23, 2006. This one is called natures duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuub. So i don't know how to make it happen to let it be known and why i like this nature's dub lp, but needless to say, i do, like it, and it is, good. Posted by furtanic at 11:51 AM. Monday, October 16, 2006. Kraut kraut kraut kraut. Cluster and eno (and eno's. Before and after science. And somehow they all come together ( http:/ www.jahsonic.com/ManuelGottsching.html.

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: May 2007
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 02, 2007. Rolf, Lance, Al, and Lars, as well as Axel. And maybe it is. The difference in genre for Fusco and Garfield makes them much more difficult to talk about because there is no real story or string or development instead you have to talk about the nature of the humor/comedy in order to validate the comics worth. What you see in one strip is what you get. And I'm not going to try (and fail) w/r/t the Fusco Brothers. And it has a wolverine. Posted by furtanic at 5:35 PM.

Furtanic's Fantastical Vision: August 2006
http://furtanic.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 30, 2006. A goal set, a goal not reached. One small goal I do hope to keep is to work on my writing. This blog being a manifestation or realization of that desire. If every couple of days I can write a couple paragraphs about some odd subject here or there it'll equal practice writing. and hopefully my writing will improve. And from there the sky's the limit. This will also be my last post addressing my failings. it's not meta, it's crap. Posted by furtanic at 2:45 PM. My family never o...
