Trygve Seim: Rumi Songs

Forcing words into songs is tricky business that rarely works. Critics and prize-committees like to pretend otherwise but almost universally the music suffers resulting in painfully awkward presentations. Hiding behind the avant curtain doesn’t change the truth. These are dissertations that won’t be read. No amount of hard work can change that. The poetry is poison.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Rumi. It might not even be so distracting if it were a hybrid attempt at crossing Norwegian experimental with Farsi vocals (that I wouldn’t be able to understand) but the English vocals are untenable.

I’ll read Rumi and listen to music separately, thank you. Not recommended.

Movie soundtrack of the year. I think it’s a documentary with a lot of tits. I’ll look for it. Has anyone seen it?

This 2016 release turned out to be Coryell’s second to final album before succumbing to heart failure the following year. Coryell was a maverick fusion jazz guitarist and a very productive musician through the years. This record would be an unusual introduction to Coryell’s career and it may have met with little fanfare but this a damn good easy going fusion record. Pianist Lynne Arriale and the reedist from Florida, Dan Jordan, both stand out with excellent solid solos.

Lynne Arriale (sexy!)

Thought my 2016 obsession is starting to play like TH’s every 2017 wiki reviews.

Goddamnit I’m a second rate Trollheart

I think this band is trying to change their name to Hong Kong Express

New King Sandtimer

Mostly industrial noise with the occasional sorry attempt to branch out

One of the best experiences of my life happened by chance when I was looking for monastery in Bodhgaya that Lonely Planet said put up tourists for cheap. I got lost as **** and stumbled on another monastery. There were no other tourists there but when I asked they put me in a room. Bodhgaya is flooded with pilgrims and and tourists but this place wasn’t. In fact, it wasn’t even a monastery but just a place where regular Tibetan dudes dressed up as monks so they could get religious asylum in India. In actuality, they didn’t give a **** about Buddhism except as a rouse to avoid being deported back to Chinese occupied Tibet. If you asked these guys about Tibet they would say you must mean China because Tibet is dead. The movie 7 years in Tibet had come out and the Dalai Lama was already a goofy celebrity. My best guess was these guys were being sponsored by American liberals who took up a trendy cause. They basically had no chance of being deported because India is cool like that so they wore their yellowy-orange monk outfits and then did whatever. They didn’t chant and meditate or contemplate unsolvable riddles. Instead they leisurely ate non-vegetarian meals (sometimes big ass buffalo steaks cooked out on the fire), took naps and had women over. They did get their water from a well, though. You didn’t drop a bucket into it, you pumped it, and the water came out a hose. They had a cement room with a slit in the floor to **** in. I had no idea how they dealt with the waste after that. I guess one of their expenses was having it periodically vacuumed out (maybe by a movie star). My room cost little more than a dollar a week. I think I stayed about 10 days or so.

There’s an album review in here. While I was there I went wondering around and ran across a bunch of locals eating bowls of rice. They cost like three cents or some **** so I got one. The rice had so many flies in it I think they were left in intentionally to add nutrients. Not being at risk for starvation I wasn’t very impressed. I picked out the flies and ate it anyway. This album is comparably palatable.

I took a nap under this tree. Someone woke me up and said I was being disrespectful. I said Buddha did it too.

Last time I checked the Chinese government had been moving so many Chinese into Tibet to colonize it that the counry is now majority Chinese. So I'm not sure what freeing Tibet would even accomplish.

grindy · 03-16-2018, 12:37 PM

**** Tibet. From what I've read it was a terrible ****ing place before the Chinese came and now it's a slightly less and in a more chinesy way terrible place. If you care enough to have some ****ty Tibet bumper sticker you're a dumb hippy and I hate you.

Yeah. Tibet was up to all kinds of nastiness and mistreatment of its own people before Chinese occupation but on the other hand that kind of behavior didn’t exactly make them an outlier in Asia. The initial occupation was just nasty.

Batlord and the Tibetan dudes I met in India both said basically the same thing. There’s no Tibet left to save. For all I know those guys may have been part Chinese themselves. People ****.

But in a real “Free Tibet” campaign the ethnic Chinese would quickly become the Palestinians of western China. So what the **** are you going to do?

Those stickers are just feel good do nothing bull**** and probably manufactured in China.
