Anji Bee on Comic Strip Blog

Leave a comment

Daily Source Code followers will likely be familiar with the infamous Comic Strip Blogger, who comments religiously on Adam Curry’s blog. I recently mentioned him in some audio feedback to Adam, and now CSB (as Adam calls him) has mentioned me in his comic strip! Now, that is usually NOT a good thing, but I was somehow spared his wrath and appear in a fairly positive light. Of course, I should remind him that Ryan was the one to the sell the 50,000 CDs, not me…

Lovespirals “Free and Easy” Podcast Feature

Leave a comment

Ryan and Anji discuss the creation of Lovespirals‘ new CD, Free & Easy, detailing specific tracks, and and comparing this sophomore 2005 release to their debut 2002 release, Windblown Kiss. Audio clips from every track accompany this 15 minute interview style music feature. Which song is their favorite? Why did the duo decide to release independently, rather than going with a label? What inspired them in their writing? Listen in to find out.

“Requiem” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Requiem” Plastic Chair Single (2005)

You know
I can’t even remember
Your number anymore
And sometimes your name eludes me
But your face still stays
Your voice rings in silent ears
Though the feelings have fled
So empty now…
I suppose it always was

He teases me
Making empty offers
He holds out a silver goblet
I reach out to take it
He turns it upside down,
Shrieking, “There’s nothing in it!”

Next, he proffers a delicate box
I turn to accept it
Yet, once again, it is empty
His eyes light with amusement

Then a gilt edged book
Is held out for my inspection
The pages inside are all blank
He squeals with delight

His talk, mysterious phrases
I ponder over each word
He screams, “They mean nothing!”
A peal of capricious laughter
Sounds against the barren walls
He torments me

— by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: Chukimai took 2 of my old spoken word recordings of poems from the early to mid 90’s and combined them for this post-Plastic Chair song. The original poems were called “Dear John” and “Knight of Cups.”

“Heartstrings” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Heartstrings” Beauty’s Confusion Single (2004)

I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything

Turn away our daily cares and
Let the music soothe our souls
And the notes that he’s playing
Combine with mine to make us whole

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free

In the quiet of the night
All alone in our room
While the world is fast asleep now
He and I compose this tune

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free

— by Anji Bee (BMI)

Note: This song was never fully completed. A shortened edit was used as the theme song for my short-lived Lovely Ladies podcast and a remix was begun by DJ Pain with additional spoken word by El Guante. The lyrics for that version are below:

His fingers pluck the melodies
Melding into everything

(x2)

I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything

Turn away our daily cares and
Let the music soothe our souls
And the notes that he’s playing
Combine with mine to make us whole

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free (free)

In the quiet of the night
All alone in our room
While the world is fast asleep now
He and I compose this tune

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free

— El Guante freestyles —

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
