Play LOUD
Monday December 27, 2004 – 7:36 amI dreamed I was listening to an old vinyl LP called "Music for Vacuuming" as it was being played over the public address system in a stately old apartment building. Four or five vacuums ran in the hallway, magically guided by unseen hands. They were following each other in a circle in the common area by the elevators, sucking up some special cleaning dust that had been sprinkled onto the carpet.

Vacuum Cleaners over Montreal
when i was 12 or so, i read a longish review of, um, Emerson, Lake & Palmer in Concert in a hi.fi magazine. traditionally, the longer reviews were reserved for stuff they *liked* so i assumed it was a good record. stylistically, the piece was spot.on H.P. Lovecraft, but there was nothing therein that screamed, "hey 12 yr old, this is *not* worthwhile Musical Product!" so, sure, i bought it … and years passed before i realized what the reviewer had intended. your dream reminded me of this, of Keith Emerson’s keyboard sound (and his citing Miles Davis as an influence on the Arsenio Hall Show!).

Hmmm… what would Freud say about this?
