KIOSK
Clearly the investment in a quality studio and finally coming out of the basements and home recording studios has paid off
The thing I love most about Kiosk, is their predictable unpredictability. Just when you think you have them pegged.To jump right in, the thing I love most about Kiosk, is their predictable unpredictability. Just when you think you have them pegged, that they are going to shift from what you know, they shift off into a different direction dragging you not so much as surprised, but gladly so behind them. You're like a late entry to a long conga line at a wedding and you only have enough time to ask the person in front of you, "Where the hell are we going?" Whether done on purpose, or merely a haphazard result of the free creative process, Kiosk's latest album, "Global Zoo" takes us on the wildest ride yet. Stretching our imagination over the span of rock, blues, tango, waltz, and dare I say country western, and urrrp the long thought dead Disco!

گاهی اوقات
قطره های شک
می بارند بر زمین باورم
و گیاهان امیدم آفت می زنند
فکر می کنم
چه فایده داشت
اینهمه وجین کردن دل؟

بشنو از من تو این سخنان تنگ که شد تنگ بر ما این سرای دِرَنگ
بعد ازآن حملهء پُر نهیب عرب کُل ایران تهی شد از اهورا و شد پُر ز رَب
همی گشت بر ما سالیانی دراز بشد از رنج و سختی جهان پُر نیاز

POETRY
Once upon a dream, a stream of senses surges in my bone
I feel a danger, a stranger chasing me in a forest unknown.
I waken and know it is you, my spirit, inner man
imprinted in my soul.
If possessed by you, your rigid voice of irrational lore
becomes the law of my world. Thus knowing you
and taming your bents is the key to my wholeness.

The irony of all of this is that, if it were not for the
Seyyed incursion into Iran, we Iranians would not get so interested in
The Ancients of Iran. We would not have changed, and found a stronger
feeling about Old Iran, or The Ancients of Iran.

Very nice clip of SATTAR's Song Yeganegi. A tribute to Universality and Human Bondage.

Boston's "Long Time" is one of my all-time favorite songs. Last night I heard it on my car radio on Highway 1 on the California coast
