  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

As of late, I have been involved in quite a few changes in my musical activity. My freshly formed band has almost broken up, but I'm taking it as more of a side project now (no one else takes it seriously, but we're coming up with some interesting synth-flavored punk). I had recently embarked on doing an electronica flavored one-man-band sort of thing under the moniker Techniraid. Yet my brother and I have put our heads together and formed a two man band which is actually going places, some interesting stuff coming already. While my work as Techniraid as become included now in this two-man collaboration, I wanted to get a touch of music out until we get to doing shows and what not (still on the up and up, coming...). So a song I spent quite a while writing and tweeking is finally up, called "The TV Lights Reflect Your Mouth." I won't ramble on anymore, just thought a few people might finally like to hear something from me.

While not a true representation of what is to come or even my own style, I kind of like it. Lyrically, its less poetic and more direct. I tried for a 70's sort of pop feel, as opposed to the music which has a feel all its own. The lyrics are different, but kind of interesting... here they are just to peak your interest:

I gaze into the eyes of a robot
Its cold fingers crush my skull
In 1s and 0s, it bids, “So long.”
It never thought this was so wrong

I stare at the screen of the machine
In bits and digits, pixels tell a lie
I heard the fusion of the molecules
The atoms dance about her eyes

Hey Deb, how you doin’ tonight?
The T.V. lights reflect your mouth
Hey Deb, what its doin’ ain’t right!
Raise the white flag to the south

The disco ball reflects the red light
The arcade guns now bid farewell
As he aims for the T.V. screen
To tell her he’s sure all will be well

Hey Deb, how you doin’ tonight?
The T.V. lights reflect your mouth
Hey Deb, what its doin’ ain’t right!
Raise the white flag to the south

The entrance is the only way out
Neon bulbs and a champagne glass
Lip gloss stains the iron collar
Blood-rush, nerves on drugs tonight
