This is like a mission for the Doom Patrol
I need a robot body for my brain
Miss Callas calls
the dopamine exhanges
the sound of down
And there is danger everywhere
the scissor men are coming
House of icons
Felt like cards
The brilliant…

When deliverance is all you have
And you’re waiting on revenge
There’s a chrysalis that dies before
It’s has the chance to begin
Oh but what it means
too off the mark
Oh what it means you’ve failed again
And picturing some great remark
That I think of on the fly
Delivery is often hard
When it touches so close to the grave
You crumble into waste
You crumble into waste
Hey Vivian ... rumoursofwhores@gmail.com awakened from a sad dream of wastelands and spotted you waving someone else's disinterested hand. We're exploring dystopia and need a friend. Are you a corpse worth kickin'?
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)
words and music by VIVIAN CIRCLE
Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
This was the last song I recorded for the Gowns album, finishing it with a lasting tribute to my friend and mentor, Mr. George Difficult. Our good friend Doug Jablin, a DJ at KUNV in George's old time slot, played this track during a tribute show dedicated to George. I remember driving around Vegas listening to the show with Lisa and my bass playing friend Sam. I remember Sam tear up in the rear view mirror as this song played out. It was an amazingly emotional time for all.
George loved Billie Burke...I only knew of her from the Wizard of Oz, playing Glinda the good witch...George had tons of her old movies on VHS. I remember watching her and realizing that the voice she had in OZ was the voice she had in real life.
George introduced me to the writings of Bryon Gysin and William S. Burroughs. He was extremely well read and had stacks of books in his room all in various degrees of being read. They would always change the next time I went over. He was a wealth of information and intellect.
One of the lynch pins of George's untimely passing had to do with him pruning a tree in his back yard in the wee hours of the morning. He was drinking a bit...and fell, breaking his arm I believe...or leg...I don't remember which...this led him to getting pain killers..and the rest is unfortunately Vegas history. He passed away in his sleep about a week after the incident with the tree. As far as I know, the tree is still there.
Lyrics:
I've got these dreams that take me higher
I've got a soul that has a strange desire
I want to get me a Maserati, drink all night and wake up at 3
There ain't nothing wrong with me, I'm just a victim, I'm just victim of Consumption…

"She lifts her head from the table, squinting beautiful eyes, her hair all jangles and minx. Through her whiskey breath she whispers, and through a haze of cigarette smoke, she could hear the band play....and they sounded like this."
-Vivian
close your eyes and imagine a glu concert-- what does it look like? describe this fake show to me... what would you want to see?
Oh, almost forgot. Many sounds, like these pretty cellos were found on freesound. I did manipulate the pitch on…
I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
"i'm just a gangsta in the jungle" recorded in the amazon. It's actually a part of a monologue that I will likely never post…
Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!
Original track by Sister Savage:

This one is pure pop. Voice pitched 1/2 step up.
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
This is just so freakin awesome that I can't believe it just found me, late at night on the comp. and this tune came up whilst I was rooting around the favorites list...amazing..I just love it and thats the best I can do.

It made me feel like I was in East Berlin in the 80s, good guitar, it would be great to add vocals and bass to it.
this one has an emotional ache to it that is really awesome....
I could listen to that over and over and over.... super cool vibe
These are both well-rendered... I could listen to hours.
Oh yeah, that works.
Very cool tune. Really enjoy it.
this is fucking gorgeous
Cool dark track
Love the interplay between the piano and distorted guitar! Good Work.

Sweet closing tune.
Love your new tunes. Your vocals on these remind me of the Ramones a bit, really cool.

Great work. This reminds me of after hours bars. dreamy afternoons, and long liquid lunches. Lovely.
Sweet.
Exquisite!

I like the guitar part on this tune, the keyboards remind me (pleasantly) of good eighties music (there was some.)
