Somos Novios – The Three Degrees

I’m dead. This Latin drama (coming first from Mexico and here by way of Philadelphia) vibrating through the angelic trinity known to us as, “The Three Degrees” equates, for me, a lethal overdose of a soul sonic sound drug. (But, “It’s Impossible,” you say. Correct. Yes it is to most…but for a moment, in a recordng studio in 1975, on an album titled, “International” that would soon be released by Philadelphia International Records, it was a new hybrid sound we’ll call simply, Spanish Philly Soul.)  There’s just no other way to put it… and no video. You’ll have to see it in your own minds, my readers.

Now, listen. Listen at your own risk but rest assured because it’s merely a temporary death. You’ll be back to life, listening to Sia and The Weekend in about four minutes.

We’re Lovers

we’re lovers
as we both feel a mutual & profound love
and with that, we have already won the biggest prize (prize not included in text, however, in English, cannot simply say biggest)
of this world
we make love (love each other), we kiss
as lovers
we desire each other & sometimes even without a reason
& without cause, we fight (get angry)
we’re lovers
we nurture an innocent and pure love
as everyone does
we wait for night time (lit.: we seek for the darkest moment, but in English we don’t express it this way)
to talk to each other
to give each other the sweetest kiss
to remember the colour of the cherries
without words, we’re lovers

Modern MasterGifs 1 – Guernica – P. Picasso

Guernica (1937) – One of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history.

Painter P. Picasso  – “This bull is a bull and this horse is a horse… If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning.”

Alejandro Escalona said, “The chaos unfolding seems to happen in closed quarters provoking an intense feeling of oppression. There is no way out of the nightmarish cityscape. The absence of color makes the violent scene developing right before your eyes even more horrifying. The blacks, whites, and grays startle you—especially because you are used to see war images broadcast live and in high-definition right to your living room.”[17]

The Three Degrees – Starlight

Well, for openers…this song sends me right off the launching pad into some kind of third degree heaven. “You’re my never ending breath of mystic light?” Lyrics, people. I know the hair is major and the styles are so right on, but get into the words if you can.

Staying Dry This Spring – A Forecasting Conversation with Pat Dry

#PATDRY partying in pantyhose recently in the penthouse.

STAYING DRY THIS SPRING

Billy Beyond (Me) – Good Morning Pat, what shapes do you see this Spring? What forms are “in?”

Pat Dry {Pat) – Pat is loving Commes humps for Merce Cunningham & a basket case coat.

Me – Quelle fresh. J’love. Pat, on the homefront what does Spring 17 look like in our living  areas?

Pat – The Eternal Silience of The Grave…but with more dust.

Me – Shhh! Pat, hemlines. What. Hemlines…

Pat – (no answer)

Me – Pat, what’s for dinner?

Pat – Asian stir-fry.

Me – Pat, there’s no denying that you’re known for your eyes, and to call you a visionary would be an understatement, but how are you with you hands? What are the textures we will be feeling this Spring?

Pat – Silky moisture – wicking tech chiffons and vinatge Herculon.

Me – I’m feeling that. Now where did I stash that herculon shell….Pat, how’s your nightvision? What’s up for our Spring “get down?” Any PM Predictions?

Pat – Real opium dens.

Me – …I’m sorry…I…uh, …I must have dozed off there for minute. I was having the most amazing dream about a flying donkey with the head of Melania…well, excuse me. I apologize. Pat, thank you so much for sharing your informed predictions with us. In closing, if you were to say to my readers, “One thing you all really need right now is…”  What. What do we all really need now, Pat?

Pat – Love.

Me – (heart emoji)
