Take Five

i don’t remember much, but last night’s dreams were all related to Dave Brubeck’s classic Time Out album, most specifically his stellar, breakthrough hit “Take Five”.

(there’s an allegory here, but i’m not going into it; after all, it seems way too obvious, given Brubeck’s famous history, and yet too lengthy to explain for those who don’t get it already.)

the precursor to math-rock, Time Out was an album of highbrow “cool jazz” songs played in less common time signatures (7/4, 5/4, etc.).

so anyway, i think that this all somehow qualifies as definitive proof that i am not, and have never been, an intellectual.

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
