The Elvis of Letters

William S. Burroughs & Gus Van Zant.
"Burroughs Break" - echo guitar and drum loop.Added layers, layered and added.Burroughs on repetition:The last time I was in George.I couldn't find George.Arf Arf.Cut up and down.Forwards and back."Word is Virus" - Word begets image and image IS virus.Image/ima/ima/image/image IS virus.Loop cut repeat form cut loop form repeat.Wo/wo/be/be/ge/ge/wo/wo/virus."Millions of Images" - Layers of noodling/noodle/loop/techo/loop/ guitar with heavy reverb.Long dead (now dead long and gone) Burroughs,voice scratching & visceral,clawing/cloying with echo. "The Hipster Be-Bop Junkie" - Repeat and slow loop and distort,sample and begin.There's a junk gesture marks the junkie like the limp wrist marks the fag.They all looked like junk.A dirtier boulevard of broken needle wounds vitriol and despair anger spit and spite."Waiting For The Man" as truth not lullaby negatives of hope Images,that's what I eat.
