horny boy: the ghosts
shamans stones and
smoakin' bones.
Arga Warga, brooders. Arga warga.
"Horny Boy rung Widders Bell
Stoal His Fathers Ham as wel
Bernt his Arse and Forkt a Stoan
Done It Over broak a boan
Out of Good Shoar vackt his wayt
Scratcht Sams Itch for No. 8
Gone to senter next to see
Cambry coming 3 times 3
Sharna Pax and get the Poal
When the Ardship of Cambry
comes out of the hoal."
- Riddley Walker, Russell Hoban.
"He wer crookit he wer Badstock
He wer not boath sides the same
Which the knowing brung the doing
And the doing brung the shame."
- Riddley Walker, Russell Hoban.
Russell Hoban hails from Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
The Ghosts continue to haunt Glasgow.
You ars varied walcum, brooders. Give us your love.

Ah, more ghosts.
As if I don't have enough of my own in my past.
Ah, more ghosts.
Do ghosts beget more ghosts ? Or are they just rattling bones ?
father
son
holy ghost
skeletons are rattling bones
ghosts beget hosts of nocturne emissions
shadowy apparitions that pass through partitions
ghost
father
holy sun

Nice.
I can smell the THC burning from here.
I want all the Ghosts.
Stored in a cupboard.
So I can release the Ghosts.
Whenever I want to...
their wicked (boston accent) cool smoothness...
and the chemicals entailed
provide me with a map laid out with snail-trails...
Wonderful. Stuff. ib.
beautiful album art, too.. didn't notice until i started playing he songs. Very nice.
Thanks, Matt.
Release the ghosts;
and bats;
the hounds.
Though not necessarily in that order.
Glad you like the album art. The photograph was taken of a bunch of home recorded C-90s I'd made up jackets for around the time the Ghosts were recording. I think I did about 100 or so.
