Mental Pictures

Prancelot, I want you to conjure the N word three times when you see one of these:





In a few months pass the word on to a fruit or vegetable.

[Spenner]

The mind makes the world dangerous-- hell, the mind makes ice cream dangerous, fingernails dangerous, looking dangerous, texture dangerous--- the human ability to interpret and misinterpret things is extraordinary, though most of us are built with a good well established base "software" that helps us distinguish what is and what isn't what. Perhaps a miscalculation could be why some people have lust for pain or human suffering, something scary to think of having pleasure in seeing.

Dawn Chorus: First Time I heard it I saw a Black sun spinning in a white void. (Happened kinda slowly and made me think of a DVD menu)

Twoism (Album): It makes me think of my Dad's shop with all of his car parts, oil canisters, wood working tools, and an old black and white TV.

Amo Bishop Roden: The Blue Sky on my Dad's farm when it's cold out but there's no snow. Sometime in the morning or noonish, the sky seems to bend around you, and encompasses you more than the earth itself. There's birds that flutter around the barn, but mostly you just hear the wind gently blowing.

It's funny, when I think about it I realize that BoC makes me think about my Dad a lot.

Whenever I hear "Farewell Fire", I see myself watching a city slowly burning. It is night time, a very dark night, and the flames are blue and green. There is a river between me and the city and the flames are reflecting off the water. There's a feeling of powerlessness and fatality. That is crazy.

A is to B as B is to C always reminded me of flicking through TV/radio channels, as I think someone else has already said here. But around the point of the Teddy Bear's Picnic, it always felt like the channels flicked for the briefest second through an image of Satan or someone being ripped apart or something like that. Oddly enough I had this sort of image before the Invocation video.

Sixtyten doesn't have a very clear image... it varies, but the thing that's always the same is that there's something alien/ritualistic and the stuttering drumbeats is like the stuttering image when you press pause on a VHS player.

You Could Feel the Sky... a bit bizarre, but a poor educational claymation video of a tree growing (the stretching noise), and then dying, repeatedly. Towards the end there's something in the background that sounds exactly like a ticking clock I used to hear as a child in my grandparents' house (in Scotland, oddly enough... well not really), so it always reminds me of that.

Nlogax gives me one of the funniest mental images... of some poor 90's techno dance music and some people in bad clothes dancing in the dancefloor, and then things getting more and more obscure as the song progresses, until you get to the vocals, where everything just gets weird.

Macquarie Ridge; This is the one that first came in my mind, I find this song pure beauty, and when I close my eyes and try to empty my brains while listening it, all I can imagine is the trip people would make when they go to heaven. Even though I'm not a religious person, for me it's just like that. Walking down the white tunnel, with absolute ease, knowing your dead but finding the beauty in it. Walking further and further, when going out of the tunnel, coming in some field with a white path going down it, walking the path, and all I see are pretty birds, flowers and a beautiful landscape which I have to walk through. If dieiing would be like that, I'm looking forward to dieing already!
