new mode of communication
Say, we've known dialog. How about paralog now?
The prefix is based off of types of magnetism.
viz.
"
Diamagnetism is a property of all materials and opposes applied magnetic fields, but is very weak. Paramagnetism, when present, is stronger than diamagnetism and produces magnetization in the direction of the applied field, and proportional to the applied field.
"
So, PARALOG should be "along the field", and stronger than DIALOG.
HowZ that sound? Let's communicate in Paralog!

Jai Ho TIGR Bhaiya!
This is Awesome. You're standing on Richard Dawkins' shoulders, in Newton's words.
Dream, yeah.
On bleak suburban mornings, maybe in dreams we can get what we need.
Say, can we crank up the sharp in the day? Like, you know, brightness/contrast and suchlikes.
For instance, for the day, length is metered by the clock. Solstice and all.
So how 'bout the sharp?
Bleak in the 'burbs. Man, I'll trade it in for 'most anything. Even the sewer stink on Bourbon Street the morning after Mardi Gras. With the riot police picking up the bloodied beads, and the ghoulish relish of the carnage reflected in the twitch of the shoulder of a passing woman, who, needless to say, was dancing on tap all night. And that is left of it for her, is the twitch, and the relish.
sharp, man, sharp.
And ALL that is left of it for her, is the twitch, and the relish.
AaaaahHHH the day is done, the night is come.
And
friday night. I crashed your party.
Am I goin' to be sorry tomorrow?
Mr Nori, Need some Billy Joel level of muzak input now. Kindly commence. You are the Man.
Maybe better suited for another thread: but put'eting here for starters:
Basically, floating strands of song lyric: maybe we can thread them together into elements of coherence as we move forward:
Here goes:
"
don't bump the pot for the lid, ... for the lid,
don't bump the pot for the lid, ...
just lift it gentle, (and) hit the brew
...
...
...
"
I've got the starter words to kick it off: sheet/tablature, guys Adoor/Anand, do you have it on you?
"
Don't, choke me, .. jus' throttle me
I'm revved up for the ride
I'm, broke, .. an' don't yu, rattle me
'm all tuned up inside
The oxide paint is peeling off, but
it's no skin off my hide
So let's zoom off 'gainst the tide ....
...
...
Some try to fly, some dig their way,
but this one's on the road
hitchhiker # 1's OK
but out here three's a crowd
And don't try to, unsaddle me,
buddy this one can't be throwed
The line of flow can, .. handle me,
so let the wind be blowed, ....
...
...
"
There's more that I need to dig up, but sheet wise, I believe these stanzas span it.
Yo
As I recall now,
we reworked the last part of the first chunk on considerations of rhythm:
"
The oxide paint is peeling off, but
it's no skin off my hide
If this is where we're, .. gettin' off
We're gonna zoom off 'gainst the tide ....
...
...
"
As Ghanty remembers, the beat/rhythm/sense/tone/mood/theme/... inherits from a Deep Purple song, "Sweet Lucy was a Dancer, ..."
That was pure subconscious inheritance, I must add. But hey, when we make it, if Blackmore,Coverdale,Gillan and those guys want credit, then them Bhagwan log will have it. Absolutely. We owe them a generic debt of gratitude for what we grew up on.
And further, as I was discussing with Ghanty the other day, we now need to arrive at a psychic state to crank the wheel now: The state is known as -
"GET IT ON THE PHOTON"
This is derived from a notion I read from densmore's book. The Doors used to work themselves into a state called "get it on vinyl", that is to say, make the song cut the LP.
So, for us, it now is "get it on the photon". The photon of course being the generic notion of current-state media. Media in the sense of the vertical Telecom-Media-Networks. Remote online jamming, what better state of matter than the good old photon.
I have a song on this one too, BTW.
"
Get unconnected and think it out, ..
ride on a photon and then blink it out
..
..
posit a raw'neck'd brain to solve yer problem, ..
non-sequitur ansatz, ENIAC can probe lemmata just as well, ..
Get unconnected and think it out, ..
"
Quick sidebar note on this one, "get unconnected" is a phonetic rehash of Einstein's Gedanken, which is what the second line is.
The second stanza is a phonetic rehash of the good Doctor's positronic brain concept. Great for Asimov's time I guess, dirac probably hadn't well and truly kicked in yet. But basically, in terms of processing power, an electron can do just as well as a positron. Hence the reference to ENIAC.
So guys, let's get it on the photon. yep.
Also I recall, back then when I was with Citizen's Evening, I had interviewed and reviewed Rock Machine's first album. They had a song titled "PolyVinyl Lady". I was wondering what they meant. Guess they too were dreaming LP, huh.
Yo.
OK
so here's where we're at:
Rajeev, you're looking for the sheet
Me, I have a reasonably graphic recollection of the drums track.
Adoor and Anand: please send chords/sheet/tablature across.
You guys send me a track with guitar and vocals, and I'll ensure to mix the drums track with it, and send it out for your inputs again.
I'll make the arrangements to get appropriate engineering help (DVP will be able to point me to the right studio direction)
Guys:
1. Recently Repaired Road
2. BlueBottle Fly
At least these two songs are such that we had a good tight arrangement in place in the nineties. Possibly you might recollect more.
These are two where I can picture the drum tracks right at this moment in my head.
I think we can definitely manage to record individual tracks and mix them in a conventional way for these two songs, while we await cutting edge internet mixing to happen unto us.
Yo.
All right, guys
After a few months of not having played, I got back on the drums today and pounded about, and am trying to find my way around again (a bit of an ouch! need to manage the femur).
Gimme juice yaaron. I'll do my bit, need all-round resonance to sustain it.
Gimme GuitarRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Anybody in touch with David Masilamani? That is one good dude. I'd like to meet him again.
