Don't mind me...i'm just scarecrow man...

About Me

Even though it appears to be dark, the sun is just taking a rest. or something like that, or something different - or perhaps something exactly the same. Perhaps it may be daylight but i've covered my eyes, although it seems unlikely - black clouds don't seem to be a possibility, however, if its dark clouds are black - but normally they are white. i don't know what this means either. Sunlight will arrive in a matter of hours ...See also "slaif" - my earlier incarnation. Though not in a metaphysical sense. (what does metaphysical mean anyway ? - well actually i do know what it means but then i'm just typing gibberish as usual) However, what is gibberish ? - is it rubbish for gibbons ? or is it some other state of reality ? (in my case it's usually sleep) - of course this has nothing at all do with my past/present (if we ever do another album) band, but then what does ? Perhaps this speil could do with making more sense & being more compact - but then none of our work ever was anyway, so perhaps its accurate after all!I have my latest on-going album online at www.mutantlodge.com & Slaif's "greatest hits" at www.slaif.comI also have a presence at www.reverbnation.com - although not in a supernatural way i might add - or maybe i shouldn't - maybe i should just subtract it/multiplication ? nah - just visit the website to hear stuff you can't hear here...I also have a blog of my daft attempts at a music career at: www.thescarecrowman.blogspot.comREVIEWS: "With “Songwriter,” Nyk slays every precious thing. Sample lyric: “Pretentious words don’t make sense.” Next, he teases us with “Fake Jazz,” playing some genuinely lovely chords and howling, “Fake jazz drives you wild.” Finally, “Tombstoning” indicts the extreme sports industry and its ardent thrill seekers. “I throw myself off cliffs for fun. Tombstoning, it gets you noticed.” No mercy on society, that’s Nyk, and I love it..." (Darren Thornberry, OOTB 266)Nyk has branched (no pun intended) out, recruiting the help of Broken Tooth on Pinecone Kazoo. I'll say that one more time, Pinecone Kazoo. Another odd sentence now; Mutant Zombies win by a remarkable landslide victory. There are times I am genuinely scared of this man. This... enigma... this... maelstrom of a man. I'm not sure, but I think this is what drugs sound like. Utterly remarkable. (Calum Haddow, OOTB 300)
