Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, your circuit-bending djs, electronic industrial post-punk
glam metalheads, your country/western pirate blues, your prog emo raga, your classical jazz crusties, your experimental ska post avant garde funk rockers, your shoe gazing Tibeten throat singers, your math prog incidental orchestrations, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. The ambient sculpture painting architects of performance art. Detonograpers & photographers. Fictitious biographers. Indie filmakers, modern space laminators, interdimensional decorators. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
