album update

february 2, 2004 -

observe and raku have finished recording their sophomore effort, the follow-up to 2002's 'this voyage called life.' on the audio side, all raku has left to do is finish mastering and assembling all the tracks into a finished work. on the artwork side of things, observe is hard at work putting the final touches on the album art. look for a release in the spring of 2004.

january 12, 2004 -

all tracks have been recorded. mixing will start in the next few days. a whole year of hard work recording and producing have paid off. check back for updates on the progress and tentative release date.

 

poetry by observe

feelinggoodisnotfeelinganythingatall

I had this friend
he would put his hand on my shoulder and say
"justin, your problem is that your always in relationships!"
"we need to get you  a fuck buddy!"
this friend of mine
he was quite the stud
more one night stands under his belt
then relationships ive held
while he was telling me these things
we were sitting in a strip club
i looked up at the fragile blond
who was doing handstands against the steel pole
and thought
how does she do it
i don't mean the handstands of course
i mean how does giver herself away
like a carnival prize
and how does he do it
hold someone close
and taste there sweat
then get up and leave
and never buy them breakfast
months went by and i still wasn't dating
i did manage to find myself a fuckbuddy however
i would come over to her place
we would chat and watch tv
then i would fuck her for an hour or so and get up and leave
we were actually quite good friends
and she would often compliment my sexual technique
the problem was
i didn't long for the sex
i longed for her to hold me
to run her hands through my hair
but i soon learned that's not what she wanted from me
it was all about the sex for her
because, "sex feels good" she said
and we all want to feel good
right?
(that's what hands are for)
