Build me something from the inside out a transportation device honeysuckle flavored and tailored for trip to the moon i want to find my lover draped over daffodils singing a tune somewhere other than here the voices appear sincere with no need for sarcasm no need to embellish no need to recite word for word verbatim calcium deposits gently stirred odorless tasteless just your mirrored reflection infomercials twenty four seven collages glued hidden in notebooks have we found what it is we were looking for? what you see is fiction what you read is propaganda what you seem to know can't be any further from the truth what you hear is ...me redefining progress with every breath the insufficient steps of addiction has led me astray from these contemporary acts of betrayal laying awake diseased and plagued within outreach programs and doctors on call the passing of time the passing of life agendas and tattoos that define one's character the actor playing the part the adventure ends before it has been given a chance to start the sword and the stone the medals brought home the similarities of us the transition from lust to love the feeble and the weak the temptations and the grievances we endure the tiresome smiles the sharpened knives memories just washed upon the shore the early years the trying years the realization that we are all enveloped in fear the concoctions of our mind the devices that tune into lies the strangeness in these days the melancholy masquerades the tremors that shake and shape the violins adapted and played your books and psalms the holy quran the gods with their vices watching over countries that are lulled in times of crisis the deviant pleasures hunger pains the unwritten letters the heavens await detour us from the burning flames the silence in the sleep the ambition within the dream voices humming in unison over these beats the derogatory and the waste the minimalism and the hierarchy of yesterday the vernacular the sanitized the bedridden the bastardized the overwhelming duties of power the underlying defeat intensified by the sorrow the pillaging of cottages during the darkest hour the murder the mayhem the birth the death the noble and the proud the intricate evasions the introspective walks the ambient noises that aren't found amidst the soundless syllables the ambiguous undulations the forgotten strings the strain of day to day existence the vagrant moods and platitudes that come to seem from the outward form of one's essential being like a gradually remembered melody emerging from a cave the daunting task to uphold one's honor please don't be afraid for we just live in imaginary places that have once again been regurgitated for a purpose the innocence we've somehow mistook for ignorance the bicycles and the tires the flying machines birthed out of iron the seven step seminars and phone calls at 3am the women with their lavish tastes for diamonds are a girls best friend the weight of water the way you lead and the way they all seem to follow the demons found within the farthest regions of space the criticism and the cynicism that some artists face the changing of the guard the elaborate scheme the abstractness within the art the pastels and the arrangement of colors the fresh scent of roses in the summer the marvelous beauty of political corruptions we now return you to your regularly scheduled program with no more commercial interruptions...we now return you to your regularly scheduled program with no more commercial interruptions...no more commercial interruptions...

about

FOUND ABOUT 25 OF THESE IN A BOX. THEY HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE COVER THAN THE ONE YOU SEE HERE. I DO NOT HAVE THE AUDIO FOR THE RAJBOT TRACK. ONLY WAY TO GET THE TRACK IS TO BUY THE SPLIT 7" (OOP!!)

(DESCRIPTION OF THE SPLIT 7")

Hip hop nerds Rajbot and Aamir, the latter of the Escape Artists, have joined forces for a quick, very limited-run split 7". Rajbot's "Bureaucrat in Denial" is essentially a poetic plea for bicylces over cars. Raj flips in and out of double time raps effortlessly over his self-produced, crunching, and mechanically minimalist beat. Aamir's "No More Commercial Interruptions" quickly touches on bicycle vs car, but appears to be more of a cryptic critique of current culture. The beat, cooked up by k the i??, starts off slow, and when it kicks in it is a murky, thick production like someone playing piano in a stamping factory. The package is loosely held together by artwork depicting bicycles, but the real connection between these two artists is their absolute desire to experiment on the boundaries of hip hop. Overall, an enjoyable experience for the adventurous
