about

So the drop-dead deadpan man died of a corrupted liver; passed out of this realm in bed with the last earthly energy flowing through his hands, the hands that coaxed otherworldly synesthesia from decades of gorgeous guitars and the occasional brutally ugly axe with no head. I hear your chords on Calton Hill, Lou. I hear your chords in the cobbles and the pipes of Leith Docks. The portals glimpsed from the New York subway that emerge at the entrance to the Blair Street vaults or under a brig on the Water of Leith. The screeching twist of John Cale’s electric viola suggested a danse macabre of Burke & Hare quality. It was all there in Edinburgh all the time but Lou’s week beat my dormant centuries. I am fucked up in my senses and I celebrate the dreams we shared that began reality. And I hear as you left the picture, Lou, you continued, continued, continued with what movements you could muster from the teachings of T’ai Chi.

lyrics
Here lies Lou, dearly departed
Cockburn Street down there is still broken-­‐hearted
All the boutiques that sold groovy wraparound shades
All the record shops that purveyed in varying grades
Of legality cassettes and bootleg vinyl
We’re here despite the fear brain death is final
We hope that beyond Lou’s vital grip
A part of us continues forever hip
Forever smoking cigarettes in shelters of the school
What’s death anyway but a way to stay cool?

Adolescence is messy like residue from rockets
Vagrants in the playground throw batteries from pockets of Flashers’ coats and a dog vomits stones
and I mark out my island in parking cones
Forever smoking cigarettes in shelters in the park
What’s death anyway but sunglasses after dark?
