live from no man’s land, here’s one for the underdog, honest lawyers and brave big game hunters posing for posterity purposes beside the corpse of an endangered trophy. gilded in poisonous pride the peacock spreads his fan. it was nearing dawn and the moon it grew drowsy. the trick of the tired ticket tout, the whine of the manufactured magic internet poker. go get over yourself already - be done with it, raze the whole place and make way for a new runway. with any luck they say you'll retire to a golf course, oil rig resort, upturned yacht or forklift truck rust yard, while the other half busy petitioning for a slave labour memorial fountain in the grounds of buckingham palace. we awoke on a balcony, waving down on a crowd of people dominated by guerrillas in cahoots with trendy drug dealers. dragging empty trophy cabinets through congregations, waving sick bags like flags at media hack psychologists. more carnival master manipulator sideshow, award-winning actress, the celebrated media personality, the telly show favourite, the busty glamour model, celeb with chequered history, the stunning movie star and last but not least - the car bombs in gaza. stripped naked, flogged with selfie sticks, then led along a screaming crowd to a mahogany guillotine. enter the headless waitress serving up her own nose cartilage on a refrigerated plate of fine china.
when you’re done navel-gazing come join us - we'll be pacing the corridors of parliament with a billion bootlegged jg ballard novels and a bin liner bulging with over the counter downers, wearing a rat fur coat for the so-called serotonin injection honour killing. live from no man’s land.

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
