is it madness to merge with the wind, to howl with the moon? to cry alive the sky? are threads woven a flawed cloth song, do these wefts break warp? that thread spun since time was born? all you judges, beware: for each stare may draw stones cast slow slung and drunken back to the fist from which they were borne for blood washes blood and clever cuts thrust are cain-marked blades in exchange
‘Al you judges beware’ (nice reference!) – what defines ‘madness’? Going with the flow, perhaps…

Thanks — I should have known you’d have caught that not-very-sly reference. 🙂

I meant to ask earlier in reference to music whether or not you had heard of The Twilight Sad? They are from Scotland, and the vocalist sings with quite a thick accent, but I think that you might like their music.

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve not run into them before.
If I can survive a week in the small villages outside Edinburgh, I’m hoping it won’t be to hard to decipher what he sings. If not, och weel.
Loading them up now.

Easy enough for this yank to understand… Nice — reminiscent of someone that I can’t put my finger on right now. Like Joy Division mixed with someone like Gang of Four with a hint of Smiths or something. Not really, but it’s the only names that come to mind.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Quite different in my opinion and I like his choice of subject matter…plus the music is great. Not yet seen them but I’m hoping that they will tour a bit closer to where I live.
Edinburgh is a great city btw!
Glad you enjoyed them.
