To consider

me

please please me

love me, love me / say that you love me

help me get my feet right off the ground

love me do

do you realy want to hurt me?

help me get it through the night

stand by me

never let me down

hold me closer than that

don't let me down

understand me

dreaming of me

me in honey

that's a part of me

what about me?

you

don't wanna know if you are lonely

you and me, babe - how about it?

you get your money for nothing, you get your chicks for free

you ache just like a woman

you fake just like a woman

you make love just like a woman

but you break just like a little girl

you make me feel like a natural woman

you're fifteen, you're beautiful - and you're mine

you are the everything

i wish i was like you, easily amused

you want it all but you just can't have it

you didn't stand by me

i try to be a superman, but you're standing on my cloak

where were you when we were getting high?

where were you?

what does it take to turn you on?

i don't wanna walk around with you

didn't we deserve a look at you, the way you really are?

fluxpresentation (for two performers)


this is my faculty mentor, Dr. Rob Haskins (he's a john cage scholar among other things) performing.


this is a much better picture of the Fluxinstrument. there are 4 wind chimes of various sizes and 5 fans powered by a lead-acid battery on the back triggered by a non-momentary switch specific to each fan.


and this is me... reading diligently and precisely.

performer 1 - read attached presentation diligently and precisely, making sure not to make mistakes.
performer 2 -man fluxinstrument and follow attached instructions.

both the speech and the rules i chose have been sent through the fluxlist.

woman

strange kind of woman

honky-tonk woman

evil woman

a hard woman to love

you ache just like a woman

you fake just like a woman

you make love just like a woman

but you break just like a little girl

you make me feel like a natural woman

oh, she looks so good / oh, she's made out of wood

'cause everybody knows / the things she does to please

she's just a little tease / she's the femme fatale

she put a spell on you

you get your money for nothing, you get your chicks for free

she's funny that way

a whole lotta woman

she's like the wind

she's a river

when a man loves a woman

parachute woman

smack my bitch up, change my pitch up

girls just want to have fun

the men don't know, but the little girls understand

lady madonna, children at your feet, wonder how you manage to make ends meet

woman is the nigger of the world

a girl with kaleidoscope eyes

sweet loretta modern thought she was a woman

all the girls around her say she's had it coming

i want a short haired girl that sometimes wears it twice as long

there she goes again

she's down on her knees, my friend

there she stood in the doorway

then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

there she goes, just walking down the street

sweet leaf

let me stand next to your fire

some people say little girls should be seen but not heard

girls, girls, girls,

Liberian girl

she's my girl

you're fifteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine

i love-a-love my little calendar girl

the KKK took my baby away

baby, i love you

she's a nightmare hippy girl

she has tofu the size of Texas

she plays footsie with another dimension

she'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole

she'll come back as fire and kill all the liars, leave a blanket of ash on the ground

summer babe (winter version)

he lied to her, he lied to her (with a perfectly straight face)

her, she can go quietly, by a disease or a blow

you dont't have to be rich to be my girl

sex bomb sex bobm, you're my sex bomb

no woman no cry

sheila is a punk rocker

judy is a punk

blood sugar baby, she's magic, sex magic, sex magic

so star me kitten

she's a star-star

if i have a reason to believe, then she has a reason to forgive

the girl can't help it

Today's News (with Red Circle)


April 27, 2006: Today's News with Red Circle

man

i'm your a hootchie-cootchie man

ramblin' man

but nobody wanted to hire out a guitar man

nowhere man, please listen

stand by your man

i need a man, a blues explosion man

i'm a man, that's what i am

white man in hammersmith palais

if i'm your lady, and you are my man

i'm waiting for my man

southern man

when a man loves a woman

give me back my man

and a man comes on to tell me how white my shirts can be

but he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me

'cause in sleepy london town there's just no place for a street fighting man

the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still

the man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud

nowhere man, the world's at your command

hey, mr. tambourine man, play a song for me

'cause i'm the taxman

i am the eggman, they are the eggmen, i am the walrus

the men don't know, but the little girls understand

about a lucky man who made the grade

jo jo was a man who tought he was a loner

but she was another man

she go a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends

here comes your man

straight to the man

and one day, you'll find out that you lost a good man

"DAD" makes a surprise visit to the Fluxlist Blog




I'd just like to say that I think you're all doing a lovely job in keeping Fluxist alive, even if the poetry doesn't always rhyme.
When I tried to recite some after dinner the other evening Mrs "DAD" was overcome with the vapours. In fact we had to keep the window open for two days, and the budgerigar has lost most of its plumage. Shame that.

Remember, attachments give me wind.
