this is titus alone and the brown dog affair. that, combined with the slowness, makes for a long-ass song.

titus and gertrude throughout Gormenghast

in our vision of this world these guys live out in the foothills and are threatened not by floodwater, as in Gormenghast, but by landslides, as in The Control of Nature (John McPhee).

this one almost didn't make it. jess turned in heroic gtr+vox through a sore throat.

(um, what the title says)

thump thump thump

what is that?

the thing, cast outside the gates of gormenghast.

i like this song as a song but i have NO DAMNED IDEA how to arrange, perform, or record it. acoustic it's missing intensity. i can't make it work with drums and bass. this version with electric gtr and kbds is barely listenable. if there's one…

watch out
