Is anyone else concerned that there have been no posts from Harry since this one?

Ha... still here. I am thoroughly verklempt with the good energy coming from obenerians. Thanks. I guess on one level I was asking for good words, but in my mind I was sharing a moment of clarity about the power of music. And speaking of Marcus Aurelius, "And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last." Almost like what music would you like to hear while doing the Big Check Out.

So Bort and Tentoze and I will make a pact to outlast all you young farts.

I was at work today which answers some questions; yes I am a California nuts/seeds/sprouts freak, under average weight, exercise regularly... the possible "causes" for 99% blockage: I work 60-70 hours a week, I had a mother who had major heart attacks, and I smoked everything and anything for a long time before I didn't.

But to twist it, what music would you want hear going Into the Light, or just back from the Edge?:

Keep Truckin Harry.

Doolittle, Stone Roses and It Takes a Nation of Millions would be first three.

All the best for a speedy recovery, Harry. Be good to yourself; you're worth it.

Genetics is a giant killer.



Whilst leaving, 'Rocks Off' transitioning to 'Jerry's Pigeons'. While coming back out, 'Radiation Vibe'.

Best wishes for a full recovery, Harry.

Going into the light" "Waterloo Sunset"
Coming back from the edge: "Feelin' Alright"

Yeah, I know that it's kinda cheezily thematic, but I can't help but think of those things in terms of movie soundtrack picks.
Very Big Chill.

Don't forget about Monty--pretty sure his heart exploded and had to be replaced with something human.


I have an uncle who had a series of heart attacks in his 50's and early 60's and he's about to turn 80--Huzza! Fight on.

Nice catch. Thanks. &, below, from 13.06, yesterday:



& to echo Dump-Jack: genetics is a killer. Though I would love to know who else in my family tree had (any kind of) an aneurysm. So far, I am it, to survive; my mother had a cousin die at 32, brain aneurysm. There's no one else.

We thought you died before we found out you ACTUALLY ALMOST DIED, Monty.

"Hey, where's Monty been? Hope he didnt die, haha."

That sucks, Harry, but I'm glad to hear you're recovering from it.

Very sorry, of course Monty is a charter member if not Muse of the club. We'll figure out gang signs and secret handshakes later.

The handshake drugs I bought downtown...

I've always imagined myself coming to a late period Howard Huhes-esque end, jamming Demerol needles into my dong, and listening to Side 4 of Exile. Shine A Light, indeed.

Make a loop of "I Just Want To See His Face" and screw it on big time.

Hope you have a speedy recovery and no more problems with this, Harry.

Dang. Glad yr at least on the upswing, Harry. Will be praying for yr recovery. Heart disease is something that always in the back of my mind--family history is a bummer.

Into the light: something off Spiritualized's "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space"
From the Edge: probably some speed metal

Man, i've missed alot over the last couple of years, huh?

Hope everyone's feeling healthy and having fun.

A live version of this just came up on shuffle as I read this. Wierd.

And fuck sake Harry, I am sorry to hear this. Thanks for letting us know, and what Loog said - some of us genuinely mean "let me know if I can do anything," myself among 'em. Say the word.

Take care, man.

Yeah harry, say the word, and everyone will finally converge on SXSW.

I'll cook healthy stuff.

Hey Harry, get well soon. Here's to a long lasting recovery.

Into the light: Spiritualized - "Take Your Time/Shine a Light"

Back from the edge: shit, probably some Neil or some mellow electronics so as not to push me back over

I think the answer to all questions is Morphine.

& considering how Mark Sandman went, this becomes, what, a triple pun? Quadruple?

Let's defer to Official Obner Punmaster FT...

Checking out- probably Astral Weeks, or something from Vic Chesnutt
Back from The Edge: Adam Raised A Cain

Bipass.
