Old Friends

I just finished a new short play I'm called "Old Friends," and it's probably one of the darker things I've written in a while.  I think it's pretty good, though, and it's back in the scifi realm for me, which I enjoy exploring.  I'm excited to start sending it out to some contests and theatres, to see what kind of response it gets.

Immediately after I thought of the name, I was reminded of the old Simon and Garfunkel song of the same name.  Although the song has very little in common with my play, besides the name, it was kind of fun to listen to it while I was working on the play.

So, here's Old Friends, and a couple other S&G selections:

Hazy Shade of Winter:

America:

Ghost in my machine

Totally random album showed up in the side-bar of youtube while I was listening to Chelsea Wolfe.  So far it's pretty good.

It kind of reminds me of some older King's X at times, with the vocal harmonies and the precision metal guitar work.  I don't know, what do you think?

Kings' X has lyrics and albums that sometime conjure Christian images and symbols, but the band resists that label, more so lately I guess than when this album and "Faith, Hope, Love" came out.  Ghost, by contrast, appear to be straight up Satanists, although their identities are not publicly known, and they, like Daft Punk and Buckethead, only appear on stage with masks on.
