We Laugh, suddenly loud, then suddenly quiet again. We look a little aside at one another. "Lots of folks has crossed it that wont cross no more bridges," Houston says. "It's a fact," Littlejohn says. "It's so." "One more aint, no ways," Armstid says. "It'd taken them two-three days to got her to town in the wagon. They'd be gone a week, getting her to Jefferson and back." "What's Anse so itching to take her to Jefferson for, anyway?" Houston says. "He promised her," I say. "She wanted it. She come from there." Lyrics taken from As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner.

When I looked into your eyes I saw my own reflection Now I gaze into those I eyes I see I'm already gone Am I just supposed to forget all we've promised?

Make sure not to cut yourself upon my shattered dreams

Panoptitron Cincinnati, Ohio

Heavy metal from the future, about the future, and for the future. Narrowly escaping the cataclysm in the year 2XXX, two musicians have come back to the twenty-first century to tell their tale of the giant robot know only as THE PANOPTITRON. So bear witness, and don't say you weren't warned, as they weave a tale so harrowing and heavy, that it may alter the very future as they knew it. ... more
