Pretty cool alternative 2CD set, just released (28-11-2008). It contains Neverlost. Found it with a little help…

The worlds’ legends speak of eagles, sorry.

The Eagle Has Landed

On July 16, 1969, three men and a support staff of thousands begin the world’s greatest adventure: an attempt to successfully land a man on the moon and return him safely again to earth. It was the fulfillment of President John F. Kennedy’s ambitious decade-long goal for a nation struggling to keep ahead in the space race against the Russians. The mission was Apollo 11.

On July 20, while Michael Collins lingered aboard the Columbia command module in lunar orbit, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin headed for the surface in the lunar lander, known as Eagle. With the fuel supply dwindling, Eagle pilot Neil Armstrong realized that the computerized trajectory was sending them toward a field of boulders. He overrode the computer controls, setting the lander down on the lunar shore with 15 seconds’ worth of fuel to spare. The Eagle had landed.

Hugs kiddo. Did your parents raise your pocket money a little now?

[Arthur]

Thanks guys.

RedWolf and me just sold the concept of this website for a 7 figured number of dollars to the management of http://www.rollingstone.com , so we only did it for the money… and it worked pretty well.

Kidding!
It’s the love for the music of Smashing Pumpkins & collecting it, and you guys on here also, that keeps me going.

tssss…

[Arthur]

I called it Zeitgeist anyway: it is a 1 track album promo, not a single promo. Zeitgeist is also written very boldly.

http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=2363 (12 track promo)

[Arthur]

Those 4 eagles have landed, giving them a warm nest as we speak.

[Arthur]

Sorry for the shit-ass CD scan, I’ll turn it sideways and do it again soon. Probably not today though. But the front looks like the purple Zeitgeist (Target Edition), and here’s the back and the CD itself.[/quote:3a5xpmva]
How should we call this release? Zeitgeist? Zeitgeist I guess.

[Arthur]

Lift off for today is confirmed, now definitive. The quest of the eagle has begun.

Let’s wish him a safe and pleasant flight.

[Arthur]

And because the cd has been tagged with the receivers’ name, nobody dares to sell it, or thinks it’s just to cool to keep.

[Arthur]

We have our white Xmas tree set up now. I’ll try to make pics tonight.

Talking about comics, this would be my style of humour. Not sure what you think of it, Della.

[/quote:27hdtgx8]

I could also give lines like

"Billy Corgan obviously didn’t want to play 1979 anymore"

[/quote:27hdtgx8]
"I am one as you are three"

Anyway… what mood inspires you Della, for creating this type of art?

[Arthur]

Just wondering… They say the Tour Package on CD is 23 shows, but when I count the list… it’s 24 shows?

Translations of the Carmina Burana.

Firstly, the first one was a little creative redo of some texts I like from the Carmina Burana. The second one is a full original text. This is so… Arthur.

sweetheart, be mine

o beautiful girl
in my times and in my song
I carry you on my hands
and my heart will not leave you
where-ever I may roam

you got the most beautiful face
your eyes full of light
hair like no-one has
and a body where everything sparkles from life!

every rose shrinks in your presence
every lily turns grey
you most beautiful of all
in the inside of my thighs
a fire starts to burn

I will do everything what love commands
to you I belong, to you alone!

And the second poet goes like this:

burning inside
with violent anger
bitterly
I speak to my heart
created from matter
of the ashes of the elements
I am like a leaf
played with by the winds

if it is the way
of the wise man
to build
foundations on stone
then I am a fool like
a flowing stream
which in its course
never changes

I am carried along
like a ship without a steersman
and in the paths of the air
like a light hovering bird
chains cannot hold me
keys cannot imprison me
I look for people like me
and join the wretches

the heaviness of my heart
seems like a burden to me
it is pleasant to joke
and sweeter than honeycomb
whatever Venus commands
is a sweet duty
she never dwells
in a lazy heart

I travel the broad path
as is the way of youth
I give myself to vice
unmindful of virtue
I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh
more than for salvation
my soul is dead
so I shall look after the flesh

[Arthur]

From the Carmina Burana

veni, domicella

o virgines
de corde totaliter
et ex mente tota
sum presentialiter
absens in remota

pulchra tibi facies
oculurum acies
capillorum series
o quam clara species!

rosa rubicundior
lilio candidior
omnibus formosior
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo

ad iugum tamen suave transeo
semper in te glorior!

and wow, this one…

estuans interius
ira vehementi
in amaritudine
loquor mee menti:
factus de materia,
cinis elementi
similis sum folio,
de quo ludunt venti

cum sit enim proprium
viro sapienti
supra petram ponere
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor
fluvio labenti,
sub eodem tramite
nunquam permanenti.

feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias aeris
vaga fertur avis;
non me tenent vincula,
non me tenet clavis,
quero mihi similes
et adiungor pravis.

mihi cordis gravitas
res videtur gravis;
iocis est amabilis
dulciorque favis;
quicquid Venus imperat,
labor est suavis,
que nunquam in cordibus
habitat ignavis.

via lata gradior
more iuventutis
inplicor et vitiis
immemor virtutis,
voluptatis avidus
magis quam salutis,
mortuus in anima
curam gero cutis.

OK, translations to follow…
