Strange Geometry

*PMH Mixtape 003 - Strange Geometry, Mixed by DJ K-ROCK
No tape involved






















The good folks over at *Pardon My Hindi have done it again. Last time it was Koushik (StonesThrow Records) next time, who knows? It might be you... If you don't like it, don't tell me about it.

A World Full of People

Maybe its my friends, or my age, but I find myself increasingly embarrassed about the fact that I listen to the radio. It just seems... cute next to the Internet. Oddly – again maybe its just me – but I don't want to have complete control over what I listen to. Decisions can be too crippling and I often learn more from what other people like. Another reason why radio still matters: live programmers.

That said, Radiolab continues to be one of the best programs available, even though it's (overly) produced at WNYC. The new, sixth season just started in August so we have a few new episodes to get with before dipping back into re-runs again. Really, it's that good. They take the classic, "good cop/bad cop" routine using your own curiosity against you to unwind the most complex of subjects: today's was "Diagnosis." Finally a talk-based program that puts the focus back on the act of listening.




Down load or podcast Radiolab and bypass the entirely incomprehensible schedule from your local provider.

Bo Bay Today - Wednesday, August 26













-- By Jon Moore

A hollow roar emanates from
down-sand

Dinky one-foot waves break, no…
collapse in squashy unison
dispersing salty
crunchy bubbles

Balanced between the waterfowl
filled sky and shore

Separated

by the wannabe-a-cacophony

that

is

foam


Right here today on the bo bay

Bo Bay Today, Friday, August 21, 2009













-- by Jon Moore


Flitting shadows of three
Flapping cormorants
Race up the channel
Melting into thick air
As the squad gains altitude

Soon squad two arrives
Shadows rise
Black bodies flare
Into foggy skies

Drain plug pulled
Lagoon feeders stand frozen
In the depleting narrow streams
Staring between their legs
Ponder breakfast dreams

Off-shore pelly huddle
Sand bar hosts some twenty
From shore they are surfing
Or resting
Waiting as incoming waves
Wash their feet, igniting
A frenzied lift-off

Right here today on the Bo Bay

Anybody recognize this? What year this is from?

Bo Bay Today, Wed. August 12, 2009













-- By Jon Moore


Thick dense
Recompense
On the coast
Cool’s the mist

Early risers
Some are misers
With coffee they sip
Some don’t leave a tip

Fish food frenzy
Over the wall
Leftover chum
A gull free-for-all

Squawks startle
The faint of heart
Quickly recover
As the mist breaks apart

Behold the sun
Melting the dew
Like a well-delivered sermon
To folks in the pews

Right here today on the Bo Bay

August 13, 2009
