I am on my bike in Greynolds Park in this mountainous terrain tearing up and down these hills on a narrow path. Whizzing past trees with a ravine on one side that plunges into a black stream I blurred along at breakneck speed. And it was such like flying. In the dreams I went from one to the other,  bicycling the narrow paths at Greynolds to flying above the trees into the clouds. It was much the same sensation.

And music is much like that. A sensation of flying. I remember "deciding" between them. First it was my skateboard - and the guitar. Then, my bicycle - and my guitar. 

I had a Schwinn Varsity. Until it got stolen. Now I have a Les Paul, an SG and a Strat.

This is the story of the Electric Lifetime. Or, it IS the Electric Lifetime itself, where dreams take off from so-called Reality, the colours of life get typed out in the ink of black and white, and the sparkling pollen of light laughingly shows the joining of inside and out, memory and becoming.

So welcome. Music... And to quote Miles Davis here, "Turn it up. Or turn if off!"

Cheers!

Dylan

Music from Anne Boleyn

Dylan Nirvana on radio Novus Ordo

Dylan Nirvana gets radio play on syndicated show Novus Ordo. “Embodies the spirit of punk and the sensibilities of the UK with edginess of the Lower East Side” - Radio Crystal Blue. Listen for the song Ganymede from the new record Anne Boleyn.

Also on the show, Imaginary Johnny Between The Days, Arbor Day Drive Into The Fire, Partly Cloudy But to me it's everything, Swoon Parallel, Two Loons For Tea Tragically Hip, David Martin I Can't Imagine.

Anne Boleyn

Tonight, Devon and I went to see the movie about Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary, The Other Boleyn Girl. A fair retelling. Except for the somewhat glaring error that she did not operate alone. It placed too much weight on Anne and her family's personal ambition. That rather ignores the absolute tide of change: medieval Rome was dealt a death blow by Humanism. And the Age of the Renaissance and Reason was about to begin. 

Like the Woodstock of the 1960's this was a brief period of flowering where people believed in the nobility of the individual and did not suck up to the powers of popes, were not slaves to dead ideas, and dared to imagine they did not need heaven. 

The new record Anne Boleyn is now available  in stores and online at CD Baby and iTunes.

Biker Rock

So Chris Gogan asks, what is it about the West Village that people don't want to play there? All of the musicians and bands he knows in the East Village won't touch the place. Is it a style thing? Chris is fresh from Boston, our newest member of the band. The best bassist alive quite probably. No dude, I said. Its more than that. 

Well there we were at Kennys Castaways playing a benefit for a good cause, the American Heart Association. I thought we had a good show. The place was filled. Mostly with bikers and other colourful riffraff. Everything was good until I sat in some biker girl's chair. Up to this point I started reconsidering why I never play Bleeker Street. Well, she got all bent out of shape that I was in her chair and when her Harley guy got all up in my grill about this perceived infraction, I became the local pariah. 

Somehow I have always felt I could relate to all types of people. But I hate how people use the Village as a dumping ground for all of their bad behavior. Why is "NY" permission to shit on people? A number of these huge guys came up to me to say I looked like dinner to them. Meat. And even though we left unharmed something did not sit right with me. Devon explained in the cab that I was being rude and I should have got up for the lady. And even though, it wasn't very um, ladylike to say, "hey faggot, get the fuck out of my chair", I realized Devon was probably right.

So I walked back over and these guys were like, "hey, lets get him".

I am like, "hold that thought", and walked right up to the couple and said, "look, I owe you an apology". I said I was all into the music and just should have been a bit more gracious. Well the girl gave me a kiss and the guy a handshake and a smile. 

What is important to those biker guys and their women I guess is the issue of respect. In spite of the cultivation of an atmosphere of violence, It seems they could relate to way I did not disrespect myself by respecting them. 

"Don't worry about a thing," he said. I asked him if he got a record. He said, yes. Anything for a fan. However, if you want to see the band, we'll be playing in the East Village.
