Daily Anthem

Jade stopped by the studio, so he gets to pick the Daily anthem.

Daily Anthem

Once again, the declaration has been made, and it's the only anthem today will ever need.

Daily Anthem

NUCIFERA means 'nut bearing.'

Memory is the song to listen to. It's an odd mixture of things coming from one dude. Obvious correlations, right?

Daily Anthem

Today's anthem is...Wherever I May Roam by Metallica. I said that I had decided against it, yesterday, but I looked at the lyrics and thought about it some. Even though I like Iron Maiden's The Nomad more and it has cooler lyrics, Metallica's song is actually more relevant to my situation. Maybe not too relevant when it really comes down to it, but more relevant than the undoubtedly more awesome 'Maiden.

See for your self,


And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

(And the earth becomes my throne)

And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll never mind anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
YE' YEAH

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
I say!

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam,
Yeah yeah!

Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Woah

Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Yeah!

Wherever I may wander, wander, wander
Wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam

Also, I couldn't decide if I wanted to post the 1992 version or the S&M version, when Metallica played with a full orchestra. Seeing as I can actually remember when the S & M concert first happened and that playing with a full orchestra might atcually be more Metal...I'm giong for the S & M,

Today I met with some Spurse dudes; Ian, Patrick and Matthew. They will be hosting a class this summer, during which Spurse and the students will do research and complete a project together that will be a component for their larger-scaleDeep Time + Rapid time project. I want to take it. They are working in town through Grand Arts, where I am working for now. I spoke with them shortly of my ramp.

Often, when I mention my plans to make a skate ramp as a work of art, Simparch is mentioned. Simparch built a Kidney Bowl, called Free Basin. Gallery goers were encouraged to view the bottom of the ramp sculpturally and those who skate could skate the ramp during gallery hours. Here is a video.













When Simparch showed Free Basin in Liverpool, they also built this amazing full pipe, I mean erected this humongous cylindrical minimalist sculpture being liberated from the elite cannotations of minimalism using unfinished, industrial lumber, or maybe it's a really rad Full Pipe.

I suggest checking out some of Simparch's other work. I am inspired by the direction they have taken functional art works.

Spurse.

Work.

Spurse.

That has been the bulk of my day today. Tommorow I will go on an adventure.
