«33 or Jorge 2» (A Spotify Playlist)

When ducklings are hatched and raised by owls and chickens, we transcend and understand intuition’s clear voice.

Sound is magical, formidable, and transformative. A favorite sound of mine is acid house, faithful companion since 1988. Its electronic, rhythmic, repetitive, textured, rising, ebbing, flowing, expansive sound is an elixir for concentrating on inner space.

The mystical number 33 manifests as the total playing time.

Prince’s seminal ‘Make-Up’ is followed by dear Annie Sama’s ‘Animal’…her scintillating, watershed tour de force. (I was so excited when Annie told me while visiting, ‘I’m doing acid house’…a revelation!)

Fangoria’s futuristic cover of the Hidrogenesse classic ‘Disfraz de tigre’ highlights the mystical quality of the lyrics—being one with machine, rock, plant, animal... «It’s the song I’ve been waiting my whole life to hear,» I told Gail, and Hapi, freshly arrived in town, while riding to Kelly’s in a Lyft.

Also a new release, ‘Skylon’, by 808 State, reminds me of the tower observatory in Niagara Falls, a signifier of comfort and confirmation, which I last saw with Dominic and Tony. (Interestingly, the iron scow that’s been stuck in the rapids of the Horseshoe Falls since 1918 has moved forward 160 feet, during the storm last All Hallows’ Even.)

Alpha Omega’s ‘Ravers Delight’ I heard late at night on my Saba Sandy, while editing to the beat of $mall ¢hange’s brilliant Nickel and Dime Radio broadcast (Thursdays from midnight to 3 a.m. on 90.1 WFMU-FM). The Garden of Eden’s eponymous anthem from 1988 is medicine music; the Super Version of ‘Left to My Own Devices’ is Pet Shop Boys’ acid update of my favorite song of theirs.

I hope you enjoy the benefits of this soundtrack for envisioning.

In the photo, I’m wearing an extra-tall tapR-mâché top hat and papier-mâché chihuahua wand by Hapi Phace, Land’s End Sail Rigger Oxford, vintage cape from Friends in Bushwick, and Levi’s Iconic 501 jeans.
