https://ia601508.us.archive.org/26/items/CLEP257FuckMyPlans/CLEP257-Fuck%20My%20Plans.mp3

 

Hello listeners. It's been a while, I've been playing music out in the world a little more, being with good people, trying to exercise some, playing some Nintendo, raising children, making new and excellent friends and other good things. People who've listened for a while will know there's a ton of depressing shit on this blog, hell and high waters, all that stuff, usual life stuff usually, as well as unusual horrific stuff maybe...? depressing stuff anyways, I'm not depressed anymore, far from, life is good, but my brain nearly had me wrapped in burning hell and fear of everything that has eyes for a while there, which is what this song is about, fuck that shit right? Anyways, apologies for the swearyness if that's not your fish in a kettle. To any folks reading this who've helped me be infront of people doing music, and are keen on collaboration and helping me out there also, and just to the people in my existence who are good solid excellent people, so many many thanks. Cesky Lives! Anyways, this may be the last episode for a bit, even though it's been a while between this and the last, (months?), I'm trying to share the creative load some, we'll see, but many many thanks also, to all the people, for your beautiful ears, (I'm sure they are....?), and time.

 

Here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Episode 256-Step Ladder

 

https://ia601501.us.archive.org/2/items/CLEP256StepLadder/CLEP256-Step%20Ladder.MP3

 

Hello listeners. No more weekly songs I don't think, just when they come, or maybe a weekly something, but nothing huge, this I made tonight and I could be in bed by ten, so that's completely alright, the whole thing is for fun and sharing thoughts and such anyways. Facts are factual however and I realise that my obsessive work distracts me from people, among other things, so I'm toning down some, a little, still music is my favourite thing though, pretty much, as far as things to do go. Anyways, this thing sounds sad, even the title is sad, I'm not sure where I sit with sad songs these days, but they don't seem like a terrible idea sometimes, so long as they feel nice to be played that makes them a distraction I think, there's joy to be had in it. Anyways, hopefully this thing, when listened to by you, doesn't bring down, that's not the aim really.

 

Cheers for your time and ears, here's a video to go with the tune:

 

 

Episode 255-Door Mat Boy

 

https://ia601507.us.archive.org/27/items/CeskyLivesEpisode255-doorMatBoy/Clep255-doorMatBoy.mp3

 

Hello listeners,this weeks tune is a collaboration I did with Elliot Careswell of The Milkmen, (excellent band, check 'em out: https://www.facebook.com/TheMilkmen01/). Did it a long while ago but never put it up anywhere because I thought it was maybe a little mean spirited, the mean spirit in it has since died and also the lyrics are fairly trippy things anyways so I'm just putting it out there anyways, as a back up tune for some time off while I'm moving house/packing up things and such and also because Elliot's tune for this song is alot of fun I think. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening, this week I did a colour drawing, took a while, but I had fun doing it, here it is taking shape with the tune over the top.

Have an excellent NYE, and also entire next year as best you can.

 

Episode 254-Golden Still

https://ia601502.us.archive.org/11/items/CeskyLivesEpisode254-goldenStill/Clep254-goldenStill.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a kind of a free thought experiment as far as the words go I guess, I can link bits of it to real life things but they don't piece together particularly well. Anyways, there's a positive feeling in it that comes from someplace so hopefully that translates. This is the kinda tune I'd like to fill up with layers of stuff and make sound lovely but for this thing, it's just a rough first recording, for slightly more polished stuff, (mostly), go to cesky.bandcamp.com, if you want to, free albums, totally free, downloadable and the like. Anyways, hope this is a nice listen, thanks for your time and ears.

 

 

 

 

 

Episode 253-H

https://ia601505.us.archive.org/14/items/CeskyLivesEpisode253-h/CLEP253-H.mp3

 

Hello listeners, this weeks tune is an ad-libbed baritone uke finger picky thing about somebody I knew a while back who died, don't really wanna say who, not that anybody probably reads this, or knows me if they do, but if they do it's kinda maybe personal....? I dunno, if you know me and pick it I don't care so much I guess. Anyways, hope it's a nice listen, it was very freeing to just sit and do whatever and let it be.

 

Thanks for your time and ears, here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

 

 

Episode 252-English Trees

Not sure what really to write about this one, so here's the lyrics, to speak for themselves I guess...:
 
ENGLISH TREES
So tired
so tired like the yellowed cutting blades of grass
our city council grows right by the ocean
so there’s soft fall for the kids
climbing up these English trees all knotted skin
watching over the families

with eskies full of sadness and anger
cigarettes and love disaster
all the people breathing
and out

so still
so focussed fully on my paper plate
my eyes
are wide and white like maybe I am ill
my knife and fork
sunk in my face
a pale white plastic moon
that cannot look
on you

nor shine down any kind of light on
the families with
their eskies full
of endless anger and sadness

She dangles softly in the sky
long sleeves in gripping fingers
indicating she has understood the night
a pale white plastic moon
a pale white plastic moon is crashing down
I hope you’re well
I hope you last a little longer than

the feeling
than the feeling
than the feeling
of breathing in and out

Thanks for listening, here's a video/drawing that goes with the tune:

   

Episode 251-Probably You Still Do

 

https://ia801507.us.archive.org/5/items/CeskyLivesEpisode251-probablyYouStillDo/Clep251-probablyYouStillDo.mp3

 

Hello listeners, this weeks tune is a real low end recording Dictaphone thing, a uke song but with book ends of a bit of a song my 9 year old son made up about the progression of man, kind of, I think..., seemed like that's what he was telling me anyways. Hope it's a nice listen, my words are about trying not to say negative things about anyone because it's maybe extremely unhelpful, and also about reconciling past things and not being cyclically complain-headed I guess, which we can all be, but I definitely can, somewhat.

 

Anyways, here's a video/drawing to go with it. Cheers for your ears.
