song a day #21

for popular consumption:
logos

not to be confused with products.
yesterday i said there were 9 to go.
that is actually true today.

do you read the things my friend andy wade writes? i don't often enough, and everyone should. i just caught up. he is a beacon of hope to me. Dr. Andy Wade's Journal

should i explain this song? it is a curiosity, and it was done way fast. about 45 minutes. which is a testament to...what? i dunno... that i'm getting good at making songs fast that i don't really know whether or not i like. this marks the first time i had a few drinks before my song, too ( i think...geez..how can that be right..?yet it is..). which is surprising, because it seems like i drink a lot. but i guess maybe not. i mean, i'm not frothy drunk (nor am i a frothy drunk), i just had a few pints, you know?

so, i think i achieved the astructural ethic, at least.
okay - i'm gonna explain a bit. but really, it must be said, my whole damn arty ethic is that you get what you want out of my stuff and that's all valid and blah blah blah, you know? but this one is curious and interesting (to me, anyhow), so REALLY only read if you are interested in what i was thinking about. and i urge you to listen before you do so, and draw your own conclusions first.

perhaps it is self-explanatory. it is called "logos." thinking about corporate logos and my love/hate relationship with them and graphic design in general. but it is a triangle with three points. the second point is thinking about the greek notion of "the logos," which is a root for the idea of theology. this over-arching tao-like idea from the pre-socratic greeks that i really liked. sort of this underlying thread dealy ( look up "the logos" if you are particularly interested, i won't over-explain. or write me and ask...) on and beyond and onto the third point of the triangle, we have theo huxtable from the cosby show. he wore shirts. equilateral. and there it is, i guess. i don't know why i felt compelled to explain that.

okay.
bye thanks
