The Christa Min "The Devil And Tex Watson" 7" rundownsun No. 5
"Lessee...walking down Robson...hot summer day. Never go near that street usually, but woke up in some dude's penthouse near Hooter's. I woke up, grabbed a shirt off the floor and put it on...and some sunglasses...and a leftover Heneiken from the fridge. Tiptoed out, stepping over the sleeping bodies on the floor. Now I'm outside in the part of town that most needs a firebombing....and the sun is so...fucking...bright! Still stoned...no cash in pocket. Had enough money for a dollar store keyring that reads "Take me to Yr Dealer" with a drawing of an Alien smoking a joint. Bought it and immediately afterwards wished I bought a hot dog instead. Hot dogs. Swamps. Tex Watson. To my right there's an Asian businessman eating a hot dog. Drank the Heinenken down in one long drink. My mind's in the everglades. My mind's on Tex and Squeaky and Susan and Krenwinkel and dunebuggies and Ed Sanders and the Fugs...and that fucker Bugliosi...swamps. Swamps can hold you under. Until you can't breathe. Wouldn't want to fall into one...but I did. So hot! The sun is on it's way out, but not soon enough. Gotta shield...myself. "

BT.HN. "black mirrors and dark planet alignment" one sided LP rundownsun No. 20
