Dust Boy Roy

I always said after covering countless city council meetings that I could write about dirt and make it interesting. Today, I intend to hold true to that statement. Dust. Been thinking about Dust a lot lately. Probably because I now have a new magazine in the mix called Cabinet. It is made for C$ school of thought. Perhaps a bit esoteric, but nonetheless fascinating - all the more so because of it's inherent obscurest leanings, with just a pinch of wankerism.

Anyway, dust. Quantitatively, dust is a general name for minute solid particles with diameters less 500 micrometers. Particles in the atmosphere arise from various sources such as soil dust lifted up by wind, volcanic eruptions, and pollution. Dust in homes, offices, and other human environments consist primarily of human skin cells, but also contain small amounts of plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, and many other materials which may be found in the local environment. And this fascinates, from the Biblical, 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust'. To the usage of dust as a world in the Dr. Seuss classic, Horton Hears a Who! My point is that dust is yet another reminder of what we are, where we are headed and simply how unbelievable it is that we are millions of tiny specks of living dust on a giant speck of dust called earth.

On that note, let's listen to tunes that give perspective of our insignificance. Ah hell, let's just listen to some grooves. Here's the DJ Cam Quartet with 'Boss Guitar' and a classic from Sebadoh 'New Worship'.
