IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (Anagrammed Lines)

It came from outer space —
a comet of imp creatures;
a curse of meteor impact —
to permute a cosmic fear,
to cap our mesmeric fate...

Things that you’d never thought you’d say whilst you were moshing to Sonic Youth or something 30 years ago.

“Dorfmeister” in English would be something like “champion of the village” so to call yourself that implies, in his case, that he won the electronica competition at a village fair. I don’t think “Kruder” means anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he won a few village electronica contests as well

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.
