I Am Out My Head
Eric Tegethoff
Eric Tegethoff's Album
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

This is song called “I Am Out My Head” by Eric T. & The Lightweights. I recorded it while Portland was cloudy and rainy and I couldn’t see the sun and also I was reading a novel about paranoia (Gravity’s Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon). Those are big factors in the sound, I believe. Perhaps it is too short and incomplete, perhaps it is too long and overcomplete. I’ll let you be the judge. It’s from the forthcoming EP/LP called “Songs For Paranoia”. The other voice you hear is the voice of the song being tapped(!). By who? I do not know. Thanks to Hiller for the harmonies when the frequency is tuned.

The Link to Our Kickstarter

I know I’ve done this before and before and before, but this is the home stretch for our (Chris and me) kickstarter! We’re in the neighborhood of our goal, we’re down the street by that one house you think is so ugly with that big scrap metal sculpture in the front yard but also fills you with happiness because dammit its within sight!… anyway here it is thank you for supporting. Thank you I’m sorry thank you.

City of Fear

This is a wonderful article by William Langewiesche that originally appeared in Vanity Fair about a terrorist attack in May 2006 that occurred in Sao Paolo by a group called the PCC. And here’s the kicker: they orchestrated the whole thing from prison. Langewiesche writes a beautiful article, though at times you feel as if you’re on a wild ride and even a bit lost. Just roll with it, the article is worth it.

The bruises go away, and so does how you hate, and so does the feeling that everything you receive from life is something you have earned.

I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.
