Full Empty

Full Empty  -  Pan Thistle, 2015          music video

* based on the novel "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, 1971

The china bowl preyed on your mind
a wild flame in your heart
The car tossed and turned onto Western Highway
the dummy tank full of swag
The air turned hard
let the blood drip down your marble face and
drop by the outpost
where the Blues hug the fireplace
Were it just the greenbacks, a death-defying legend,
noble cause or treason? The same voice, the evening rain

Casual dreamer
- falling down again
Everyday schemer
- freedom on a verse
Caught inside your web, you bend the rules
Blind faith dealer

"Millions upon millions of people knew nothing!
It was what they wanted! To know nothing and..
even if they found out, they'd probably ooh and aah
for five minutes.. then go back to their own routines"

Casual dreamer
Everyday schemer
Caught inside this magnetic trap
"so-so" dealer

Pull back the night - got to keep on the wet grass
Dead stalkers trail - knead the radiant clay
Low thunder roll and it's getting stronger
cutting through the waves of time
deeper into the Zone - wishing on a void

Roadside picnic
It's a roadside picnic
A roadside picnic
It's a roadside picnic

Now you look for the right words
The kid had them all: "Enough for every one"
Rock n Roll

A roadside picnic
It's a roadside picnic
A roadside picnic

Losing Control Again

Losing Control Again  -  Pan Thistle, 2025 Losing my mind, losing my soul Ain't no way out of this man made hole Go round in circles, off the deep end Losing control again   Envelope face, envelope noise Rolling and shaking broken toys A Justice failed their own polygraph test Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me   Smiling dictator, warfare state Men of the hour, iniquity gains Gaping loopholes in ethical traits I'm losing control again   Testing my faith, a deal with pain Tables are turned, I'm losing anyway A campaign of fear, sponsored by the state Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me There! They are selling again The same Patent Fake concern They drive me round the bend   Weathering vessel caught in a storm - with no end We are unable to hold a course - Captain Where? Lightning stabs out of dark clouds - boiling overhead And I'm losing control again   Fine Nereides ...

PARTHENOGENESIS

Image
PARTHENOGENESIS 4 July 2023 Parthenogenesis was born in the fall of 1978, but the story begins at a disco-club in Ilioupolis, Kanaria Sq. about a year earlier. At the time, it was normal practice for club owners to have one or more live rock nights during the week as the disco boys and girls went dancing on Fridays and Saturdays. It was on one of those week nights that I first met Alberto and George. Their group was called 'Airborne' and mine was 'Crystal Faces'. We had a good chat over a few beers and about a month later, I decided to leave 'Crystal Faces' and join 'Airborne'. For almost a year, we played mostly covers of popular rock songs. We also tried to write some prog-rock stuff of our own, we were all big 'Pink Floyd' fans, but it was not really working. Then, in the summer of 1978, after a falling out with the guitarist of the group, the three remaining members Alberto Levis, George Makridis, and myself (then, Takis Polychronopoulos...
