Brion Gysin - Pistol Poem

[MeiLalade]

What I find interesting is that near the end his voice starts to falter... I'm wondering what the significance of this whole piece means? Or is it open to interpretation, based on how the listener feels about it? I found his casual tone and keeping up with the beat soothing, but the constant shooting in the background disrupts that thought... this is truly a stange creation, especially when the numbers fall out of order too, when the pace quickens then returns to normal...

It reminds me of a Silent Hill 3 Soundtrack. Check it out at 0:11 watch?v=7K0SDuMqw_4

[inf0tr8r]

you have to understand the time period that this was made - it is art

[LogicOutcast]

Jizztastic!

[213762213762]

I liked it.

[mysticx0]

art is so fucking retarded. seriously you have to be an idiot to think this is anything more than trash. sorry.

you praise the guy for this....but if your friend came to you and said "hey listen to what i made!" and then played this, you would joke on him and wouldnt even sit through the whole thing. because its a waste of time and shows no talent. but label the guy an artist and suddenly its some magnificent creation that "the rest of us" should be grateful for. gimme a break.

[monoframe]

@mysticx0 "if your friend came" - hipothetical situation.

I'm still waiting for that or other friend to come. Yet he doesn't bother to. No one, probably.

Now, I know Brion Gysin stands by it. So I take a listen.

Do I say more than needed? Probably cannot.

[shrew246]

@mysticx0 so, so true.

[idiotindisguise]

@mysticx0 art is a label . the word artist became a label too. yes there are some people who think that the word artist is magical and then everything that that person makes is wonderful or special .but think of it this way , did you ever heard anything like this? i think that in a world with so many things copied and sold , every little piece of original works or thinking should be praised. if you think that this is a waste of time , then life is too for we are all gonna die anyway...

@mysticx0 if only it was a rap song or a video game

[RoskoTwang]

@mongol63 You don't hear the gunshots?

[nardpuncher]

This poem/song is pretty stupid...so why have I listened to it every day for the last week?!?!!?

[Logicalpsycho2323]

*tear* *tear* he has such a way with words..

[shrew246]

When this was recorded the manager of the recording studio walked out because he could 'sense evil coming out of the poem'.

[LogicOutcast]

@shrew246

So you heard that podcast as well.... :D

[shrew246]

@LogicOutcast LISTVERSE PODCAST!!!!!! lol

[ShereKhan77]

@shrew246 and where did you hear this??

[radishface1]

Hahaha!

Awesome.



[uponhiskinthemorning]

didn't know that he was the only man Burroughs ever respected . i thought Burroughs didnt respect anyone among the living people . Where to find his biography? Nothing published yet. love his poetry,like a noise in a foreign city that trap my ears and makes me feel like complete stranger. At the end of the session i can speak even with a furniture.
