#SpokenWord
'Onbekend maakt onbemind, maar het is een schone taak om die verhalen op te tekenen. Zodat je als lezer in de vertaling die de kunst is, mensen kunt ontmoeten die je nog niet kende'
I know most people think I only ramble on about #CarCulture but there is plenty more actual #culture I like. Today I saw #SpokenWord, a #Concert, a #Dance performance and #Drag and it was amazing. All by non-motorised transport btw ;)

Maybe there should be like a spoken word fork of Audacity?
But I want to emphasize that I do truly appreciate all the hard work put in for free in creating Audacity, and am thankful that I have this tool! Especially since I can't code myself. I understand that this is not easy to make, and I'm not demanding anything here. Just some thoughts on how it could be even better for my use case. :)
Mieux vaut tard que jamais: l'enregistrement de notre concert à la Maison Rousseau de la Littérature (Genève).
Le mix est un peu brut mais on est assez content de nous. Ça vaut peut-être la peine d'en faire une version bien masterisée et tout...

"Stopping a Garden Hose with Your Thumb" by The Narcissist Cookbook
So
I kissed that person I've been talking to
You know
The one I've been mildly crushing on
On and off
For half a decade
And it felt strange
Not the kiss
The kiss was great
I mean, it felt strange to know that it was okay
That I didn't need to choose between this thing we have
And what this other thing could be
I could just relax and take things easy
As much as I am ever capable of either of those things, anyway
And drift wherever this strange new breeze might take me
You know me
I feel, at any given time, tugged in all directions at once
That is, if anything can be thus described, my defining quality
But I spent years pathologising that very thing
Listening with rapt attention when the world told me I was disgusting
Like a child listening to a bedtime story
And you know I don't think I even really mean that metaphorically
We really do make a point of teaching kids that there is precisely one person to be
One way to live
Straight
Cis
Overworked
And monogamous
Anything else is in some way less
And so I learned, as a lot of people like me did, that it was better to hide and lie and pretend
Than to express ourselves honestly
This approach was actively encouraged, for fucks sake
As if those habits ever once produced a single happy or healthy individual in the history of our species
It's like trying to shut off a garden hose by clamping your thumb over the end
It seems to work for about half a second
And then what had been a steady stream becomes a dozen water-jets shooting everywhere
You can't control it
And you get super fucking wet
And that metaphor got away from me a bit
What I'm trying to say is#Bandcamp #Music #Indie #Alt #SingerSongwriter #SpokenWord
By not accepting who I am and what I want
By crushing and condensing my identity til it explodes all over everybody's everything
I hurt people
And then I kept doing it
Over and over again
Until I learned that raging against the parts of me I find hard to love
Doesn't actually erase them
It doesn't actually fix anything
It just makes me ill
And unfulfilled
And you know what's truly terrible
Is that some people go their whole lives thinking that's an okay way to feel
They wake up every morning and voluntarily erase themselves
Dream by dream and wish by wish
Until they're barely even people anymore
They're just piles of bone and hair and flesh
Red meat going bad
And I dunno
Maybe it's just me man
But that sounds worse than any awkward, honest conversation
I have ever had
Oh! I hadn’t heard that until now. Was high time I did:

#NeilHilborn went viral with 'OCD' 10 years ago. It was the first time I heard #SpokenWordPoetry and it changed my life.
I went on to help start the #SpokenWord #PoetryCommunity in my city. A lot of my role is in learning fast and mentoring, and I've seen many of our #poets go from clueless to being excellent writers/performers.
I'm semi-retired from the stage, but I'm still a proud mama hen. And I still run the local #NaPoWriMo.

new blog post, sharing a video piece i made towards the end of last month in response to the CIRCA 20:23 open call and manifesto with the theme 'HOPE: THE ART OF READING WHAT IS NOT YET WRITTEN' (https://circa.art/manifesto-2023/)
I remain partial to spoken word set to hot rhythms. This one is a little off color, and in German. "Gunter der Zwerg" from "Zen Mountain Circus."
Free streaming at my Soundcloud page:
I want to feel the pain
I want to feel the pleasure
Claws scraping skin
Grating teeth glass shattering
Pain. Dark. Altering.
Fog glossed eyes
I want to fall apart.
I want to drown in the darkness.
Break the branches. Tangled thoughts far too late.

No cases no rules
Jazz free rock indie

It was that

#ExperimentalHipHop out of London, Wilf Merson's "A Man Can Fall But What Can He Do?" is a labor of love that is truly worth your time.
It's great stuff, with offbeat #Experimental production and #Beats and a great vocal style, with an almost #SpokenWord feel

I only went hunting once. It went something like.. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/track/rural-rite-4 #writing #FlashMemoir #poetry #florida #SpokenWord #live
listening to #KGLW chronologically and taking random notes on the progression and styles [thread]:
* EP: Anglesea (2011) ~ #surfpunk mixed with Velvet Underground
* EP: Willoughby's Beach (2011) - more surf punk
* 12 Bar Bruise (2012) ~ #punk leaning toward The Replacements, introduction of spoken word songs
* Eyes Like the Sky (2013) ~ more #SpokenWord with surf punk
* Float Along - Fill Your Lungs (2013) ~ psychedlic surf punk + #psychpop [+]

This is a super short spoken-word poem I wrote. I’m kinda shy so this is the only spoken word video I’ve done, but I’d like to try make more in the future. 😊💜 #writing #poetry #spokenword
three-year poem
tiny tragedies
died in our bellies,
gasped in our throats.
these marks on our bodies
would give us away—
heat maps of our secrets.
what remained would never fulfill us,
and there was always someone
waiting—
wanting—
to take one more piece
and send the rest home in a cab.

Atlantic Records released a compilation of spoken word performances called “Sound Bites From The Counter Culture”
I picked this up to play on my radio show in college and was not disappointed. At age 20, this was my kinda politics. Timothy Leary, Hunter Thompson, and Abby Hoffman! But wait, there’s more!
Rollins talking about Iron Man.
Jello Biafra talking about the DK trial (an excerpt from “No More Cocoons”)
And my favorite at the time, Bob Guccione Jr. with an important monologue about how the media was handling the AIDS crisis of the time. It helped establish a lifelong scrutiny of mainstream media👇
I record everything I write. Collect these recordings as Spoken Word albums. There are 24 albums now. All are free to stream and download. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/ #writing #FlashMemoir #florida #SpokenWord

Early in 2023, I stood up an instance off my main domain to check out Mastodon and see if the rumors were true: did it really feel like early Twitter and the short lived ADN?
The answer is yes, it most certainly does, so I while I wanted to continue to engage and meet people,my domain kinda sucked and I never gave a proper #introduction.
I solved the domain issue, so figured I'd take care of the other with a proper first post.
My name is Kevan and I'm kind of from all over the US, but I've been in #Chicago since 2007.
I moved here for college and never left. I came to study #theater and #film with the idea I'd #write and perform on #SNL.
None of those things panned out: I wound up with a degree in #philosophy and #economics and found my way into tech with #engineering (#js, #python) and #ProductManagement.
I thought for a long time I'd wind up in #politics, but my stint running #product at BallotReady during the 2020 election—while the thing I'm most proud of professionally—broke me of that fantasy.
I'm current the VP of Product for a commerce focused #startup. Fortunately, I work from home because this #MechanicalKeyboard is loud AF.
#Travel, #photography, #cooking, listening to #music on #vinyl, reading #ComicBooks and writing on fancy paper with a #FountainPen (mostly #SpokenWord and #FreeVerse #poetry) are my hobbies. And I try to spend as much of my time with Toby, my #goldendoodle (#DogsOfMastodon) as I can.
I've recorded a few of my most recent stories. Indie wrestling, car wrecks, and complainers. Free to stream and download. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/album/the-pussycat-king #writing #FlashMemoir #florida #SpokenWord #bandcamp #wrestling #free
