the grifith observatory was the most beutiful place
from outside it you could see all of losangeles
and in the inside there was a giant pendulumn with alot of exzibits that were verry old

the floors were yellowing and the place had a verry distinct odor
the only way to discribe it is
"library book and garage"

two of my favorite bands had photo shoots at the grifith observatory
the pixies and the doors

it was a losangeles landmark
and it just was for so many years !
i hope they dont mess  it up with some modern looking grey and  kelly green colored lenoleum tiles when it reopens
i know they will
it will never be the same

the iron doors
the statue in front and that old masking tape smell
the view of losangeles city lights 
it was 
so nice & special feeling
========------==========--------===
around ucla at night
in royce hall brass and bones sounds
walk with you
the yellow streetlamps against the ivy and trees with a full moon above
sourounded by trees and old brick
open planned space
subtle sounds of bugs or lamps buzzing all around the dark and yellow hills of losangeles
@ occidental college too were you are
trees everywere and bricks eucalyptus trees old dorms 
ahh l.a night

and the La day of ameoba records

hmm i miss you and  losangeles

-------------------------------------------

here is beige stucco
here is no difference
from one town to the next
here is no art !
nothing really old enough to be classy
here is just take the bus and drone on
grey and beige
with the pale piss yellow of an alleywall

the streets turn grey and theyre repaved forgotten
constantly new constantly
in a gated comunity 
my perents set a security alarm
someone opens  a window and the cops come
with helicopters

go outside to get an otterpop or a frozen chickenpatty and
the whole damn house goes off

ah...
my lawn gnomes just not enough to keep this neiborhood cool
anymore


------------------------------------------------
we got lost in santa monica once
after seeing the diane arbus exibit at lacma
and we saw neon lights and old buildings
with the smell of losangeles night
fresh alive
