Dumpster Burning - original song
A pointless riot of drunk college kids broke out near our apartment back in 2002 when we were living near the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. I was visiting my sister in Portland and remember thinking it was very strange when I talked to @dillemma on the phone and found out that the dumpster outside our apartment complex had been set on fire and cars flipped over in a riot. A riot? What for? Oh just because a huge party got shut down and a bunch of drunk rich white kids decided to riot?
The cops showed up in riot gear with shields and tear gas and drunk kids actually engaged them, throwing rocks and bottles.
I wrote this song after returning home and inspecting the damage. The paint on the dumpster bubbled and dripped off. A few of the cars that parked on our street had plastic over broken windows.
We moved from campus to our current house in Springfield the following year. Campus was and is crazy.

You are such a Gentle Giant in a Jose Gonzalez kind of way. Thank you for saving this from the burning dumpster and sharing it, because it's beautiful.

reminded me a bit of the film trash humpers , which is strangely addictive

its interesting for the first few minutes i was stunned then just sucked us all in we all just sat and watched mesmerized , still to this day i will say to my wife , make make it , don't fake it and she goes mad , it a sort of catch phrase from the film ,
I had to go looking through your blog to see why the 8 rep, honestly the post that got flagged I thought was pretty hilarious - you have a funny way with words. I introduced you to a dark power I know, he may be able to help you a little. Cheers - Carl
Great as usual but i couldn't get d-sound working, had to listen on the other link!
D-sound has been hit or miss for me, sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn't. The source IPFS link has always worked for me though. I still like D-sound despite these foibles; it uploads and processes songs super fast and the user interface is actually surprisingly functional for something still in its infancy.
