The White Light Monk

Everything that you try to throw at me bounces off and becomes very sticky on your own soul and your self, you see. You cannot control your destiny when you mess with me. Mess with me. You want some? Condescend to freak? You want to accuse. You just lose, because you're in blues and no other hues. You will take advantage until that will will brake that rolling down the hill through the ache and your bacon and eggs are spoiled in the joy of naughty, onery, getting haughty upon me. You're true debris and slime for all to see. You want to try to paint a black picture of me, but I see what's wrong with thee. You're crazy. Everything in your life is very hazy. Maybe because you're lazy, but I don't care about you. Why do you care about me? I don't care about you, so I'm without glee when I see your doom come around. You flounder on the ground. Why make false statements? but I'm not in the nest because you are crazy too in Version 2. You're lazy and hazy. It's phasy. You can't overcome me. You will never be free of your hatred of me because I with glee will give you more history. I can see through your disguises, truly. You are not going to be friends with Julie. Go ahead and throw your mud. It will go back to you with a thud. Go ahead and throw your mud. It'll come back to you with a thud. Every firecracker's a dud that comes out of your hut. You're doomed. By karma you are groomed with your witch's broom and you'll never bloom. You're doomed. Your karma is soon up to your grooming for your ending. You're trying to be a troll, but you don't know how to roll forward in control with backwards role. You don't tread on clouds anymore. You will be forgotten by the world.

I was not drawn toward the sword. That was a bygone I could not afford. I was not drawn toward. This is so distraught. That's its own reward. Live by the sword. Die by the sword. Live by the sword. You're a dinosaur. Live by the sword. Yes, that's a fjord. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

The White Light Monk project was designed for you, but you must enter into it knowingly and trepidatiously.

White Light...what is it? The serendipity of transformative being is held to be white light, all that is holy and all powerful is white light, it gleams in vivid lightning blasts and wild electrode disturbances from the cherubic seat of the seraphim guarded throne.

White Light cannot harm anyone, nor can it be harmed. It is protective and healing, but is beyond any need of protection or healing for itself.

White Light is pervasively available, yet isolated, reserved in outgoing efflorescence for the Other Thans, the All Power Operators, all ye sincere seekers and fortunate finders, in particular those who wage Wars of Jehovah against sin in their own souls

White Light is the source of sparkling realizations that occur inside any creature that points its heart toward the dimension of righteousness and sound mindedness.

White Light refers not to any earthly illumination but to the overwhelming radiance of heaven and its blessed inhabitants.

White Light Monk is the testimony and quantum era documentation of a very simple and devout one, also a miserable mutterer, rotten rapscallion, unworthy wretch, misshapen miscreant, joyfully obliged eternally to the One Pure Real Proven GOD Amighty and His Champion Son Jesus of Nazareth, also known as the Christ, World Teacher, Messiah, Deliverer, Spirit Bearer and Bequeather, Son of Mankind, Brother of Humanity, and Cosmic Emperor / Spiritual Genius.


REVIEWS -- Disappointing, Biased, and Disturbing:

"I must warn the fans out there: it's getting more infectious and ear-wormy with each new Str8 Sounds digital album release. This one has already dug deeply into my music memory banks and the afterglow is astounding.

As I said before and say all the time, the indisputable master of Sprechstimme (German speech-singing) is at it again, this time with more toe tapping, shoe popping, sky tripping, moon laundering, neptune atonalisming, hipster bouncing melodicizing than ever before, slapped up in tidy little pancakes of sound, musical meatloaf with wild boar and mango roasted centipedes."

-- Jacob Ladderall, TECHNO FOR BUSINESS AND CHURCH magazine.

"If Str8 Sounds says he has been commanded to generate a new song or soundscape daily, or die -- why argue about it? This is his benevolent delusion that benefits his fans and enemies with fresh mushrooms to stew.

THE WHITE LIGHT MONK is his best endeavor yet, though MIND LIGHTNING was rather amazing at times. Strap on your personal rocket pack and let's soar into the scintillating skies of new Str8 Sounds music. I dare you not to!"

-- Elder Crow Summit, ELECTRONIC SIGNAL COMPANION vlogger.

"The gushing geyser of surprise-o-matic techno dispersals and sonic quantum tunneling that all men call Str8 Sounds is at it again, unfortunately. This means that we must adjust to his Neo Fauvism Hesychast Stoicism and march on, fueled by noble thoughts! This means more self-work and struggle, but according to his optimistic cynicism, Str8 Sounds thinks it's worth it."

-- Mary Attabactric, NEW SOUNDS FOR LOST SOULS online community.

"Bourree bouillabaisse that satisfies as a strong, stout, slewed stew of sonic perplexities and audio horsing around.

Full strength magadizing, and soaring sonorities bring you to a whole new realm of erratic pandiatonicisms and glimmering gorgheggios!

Groundbreaking, air smearing jubilation. Wait a minute. Is this thing on? I was just extemporizing! I've said too much...

WTF??? I said this exact same thing for one of his other albums! I'm redundantly repeating my echoing self reverbally. Enjoy!"

-- Tipsy Turvy Troubadour in MODERNISTIC MUSIC MEDIA.

"I'm not actually sure how to describe this material. I guess you have to be indoctrinated into the whole Str8 Sounds cosmology to make sense of the meandering metaphysics and gradual universalism.

My daughters, who are in their 40s now, still cherish the old Str8 Sounds cassette tape albums he distributed in the 1990s all over Peoria. There's a legend about one of his most brilliant albums being delivered in a big purple plastic box to a local Peoria, IL rock radio station, filled with propaganda and posters promoting the guy. Weird.

I'll give this entire mess a half-hearted listen. If I stay awake long enough, perhaps I'll scribble a review of it. Or maybe I just did a preface or introduction of sorts. At least he keeps the beats going pretty good and the lyrics remain as strange and alienating as I've gotten used to by now. Not too shabby, those first 5 songs. Okay, it's a minor gem. Done."

-- Ricky Slaughterslawski, ELECTRONIC MUSIC NEWS SENTINEL magazine.
