Our Ghastly Mortality

Ahhhhh, what better a time than right before all hallow
s eve to showcase as fantastic an ectoplasm as Ghastly.

For this show, I took my portable recorder down towards Lavender Town to explore the tower. On the way there, to pay respects to Mr. Fuji's poké cemetery, I came across many a abandoned control towers along the the tracks of my train. Tower after tower, I never ceased to be amazed at how hollow and yet inviting these buildings looked. As a result I got off as the tracks passed Victory road and trekked ways a way from the station near Lavender town to see this particular control tower. It reminded me so very much of my childhood home in Kyoto. 2 children a mother and an ever travelling father, all cramped ino a one room apartment.
The wooden claustrophobia and the ever present smells of cooked food, varnish, leather, and tea are hard to forget. Even as I look back, despite the terrors that I felt at night as I rocked myself asleep to the cold, harsh squeals of the rail road tracks, I remember my home fondly. I'll never be able to that apartment, but I'll always be there. Memories fade quicker than wallpaper, but the smells cling tightly 'til one's last breath.

As a result this program dedicated to the lonely phantom and master of the absurd, Ghastly, is as Regina Spektor says in one of her songs,
a lesson on how fleeting preservation is.
