the thing about the kennedy assassination is that it remains unresolved. whether the resolution ultimately ends in filling in details to the official story or in a different story altogether remains an open question, but what is clear is that the story is incomplete. so, theories, in this context, are valid hypotheses to be checked - even if they seem ridiculous.

i tend to lean towards lbj as the most likely suspect. but there were of course a dozen other people with motives and ability. in the end, the story may never be told.

you have to wonder, though, if, at the root of it, it wasn't just some high tory reaction to the irishness of the whole situation. i mean, you have to imagine that these conversations happened in london.

"history has turned upside down, i tell you. there's an irishman in charge of the empire."

british heads of state have been killed for similar crimes of ethnicity in the past. and, really it's not clear that the mindset of the british lords is altogether much different today, when it comes to certain things, than it was a thousand years ago.

given the conspiratorial complexity of certain theories, i just sort of like the simplistic stupidity of this one.

when you spend several days on a specific part, you want to make sure you get it right. then, when you spend a week on it, it'd better be almost perfect. of course, it's complexity grows when you spend that much time on it, as well. so, the importance of getting it right increases. then, when you've spent two weeks on it you're not satisfied with anything less than an impossible ideal.

then, when you're struggling with old age, and you're still cursing the machine for not getting it right, you shit in your diaper and realize the futility of the whole endeavour.

i'm just about done convincing myself this is perfect.

actually, i'm going to have to do a dark mix, too. let's make this an interesting single.

i made a last minute addition and it's extended the time for the vst mix, but it's really almost done. really. i keep saying that, and i have to be right eventually.

most of the singles i'm releasing lately are practically lps in themselves, which is something i may revisit a little - there may be extra mixes added to some of these singles to fill them out.

for the few people that have bought these singles, i'll send out free download links. i'm going to finalize all discs on the date shipped though - meaning clarity and spin are finalized. they're both done anyways, conceptually. there's at least one new psilocybin mix coming. the time machine has multiple mixes, but is under 50 minutes, so it's more a temptation to use the space than to complete the idea. same thing for time. and box. and maybe even stuck. i want these to come to me organically, though. meaning it will likely be slow revisions with no final end point besides death...

for right now, this untitled single is going to be pushing 80 minutes again. and i'm content with that. if i'm going to do this the way i'm doing it, the discs really should be full.

to extend the torture of mixing this track, i've decided to do at least one more mix of it. it's techno-jazz. and i'm focusing on the techno. but i think one mix should focus on the jazz.

the techno vst version will be up before the sun is, i can guarantee this.
