About Me

.. ..

hello! i'm odey, also known as odeylion, dindledums, odeypops, and lionel (as in ritchie). oh, and odey VITTLE thanks to lucy! i love life and like to let it overwhelm me and fill me to the brim! since landing on this planet, or perhaps a-growing out of the green earth from the depths of the deep, over seventeen years ago, my aim in life has become clear - i wish to travel, eat, drink, have madhead adventures, watch every sunrise (from all directions), listen to huge amounts of music, continue my attempts at the eh-eh-eh flute plus every other instrument under the sun, never give up dreaming and to surround myself with love and friends and happiness.
i grew up, or am growing up, as we are all forever growing, in a small city called lancaster, or lankytown to you and i. it is one of my favourite places to be and i can walk down the streets recalling or making memories on every corner. i like meeting new people (at places such as THE BARN!) but the ones i like best of all are those who don't mind me being crazy, and those who will tell me stories and listen to mine and share their hopes and dreams and curries with me.

'producing.. from listening to records i just knew what to do. i mainly taught myself and, you know, i did pretty well. except there were a few mistakes. but um, that i made, uh, that i've just recently cleared up. and i'd like to just continue to be able to express myself, as best as i can with this instrument and i feel like i have a lot of work to do. still, i'm a student - of the drums, and i'm also a teacher of the drums too. what makes cancer tenacious? the moon rules the fluids, including the inner juices of human beings. that which assimilates and feeds the body, so the crab feeds his astral plane. assimilating and distributing all he receives. slowly, until it becomes a part of you.. i can fly through the strangest land. black satin starry eyes, brown smiling face.. and i would like to able to continue to let what is inside of me.. which is, which comes from all the music that i hear. i would like for that to come out. and it's like, it's not really me that's coming. the music's coming through me. the music's coming through me..

'behind the eyes of the sleepers, the movements and countries and mazes and colours and dismays and rainbows and tunes and wishes and flight and fall and despairs and big seas of their dreams. sinbad sailor's hopeless love for gossamer beynon. gossamer's erotic dreams. the tragedy behind lord cut glass's life. the sadness of no-good boyo. the terrible jealously of mrs cheery. mrs ogmore-pritchard's terrible death-waiting loneliness.
