bitcrush - in distance

To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour.

He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily! Isaiah 5:25-27

On the edge of fragile memory lies nostalgia, the most elusive of memory’s protean forms and one beginning to receive critical attention. An admixture of sweetness and sorrow, it expresses a longing for a vanishing past often more imaginary than real in its idealized remembrance. Nostalgia exercised a powerful appeal in the Romantic sentiments of the nineteenth century, tied as it was to regret over the passing of ways of life eroded by economic and social change, a generalized popular enthusiasm for innovation, and rising expectations about what the future might hold. Nostalgia was the shadow side of progress. Memory - The Fragility Of Memory In A Postmodern Age

Domenic Priore: We were trying to figure out what separates the British Invasion groups from the ’60s Garage Punk bands in America that followed, and when you said “they warped it with Chili Dogs” that pretty much says it all.

Shelly Kidd: Well, because that was part of the pop food of the time. See, you could make a complete study of the era by tying in so many different factors: food, fashion, style and music. It’s all inter-related. And that’s why even though the British may have been “better” than the American bands, or should we say “more evolved,” maybe they could play better, but there’s something about the American bands that the Brits will never have, and that’s the Corn Dog, Chili Dog, you know, crud culture that we have and they don’t. And that’s why it became uniquely American. And I’m not gonna compare the Kan Dells “Cry Girl” with “Satisfaction.” One is primitive, one is embryonic. “Satisfaction” is primitive, but it’s evolved. “Cry Girl” is just, it’s almost like in the mud. It’s like they’re covered in mud, they’re so backwards they’re in, like, dirt huts. It’s unbelievable. There’s no Brit band ever who could have done that, you know?
