I have no mouth, and I must bark

Victims of a gorgon who turned flesh to silicon, Charles Kalpakian's angular dog lamps will forever bathe one another in pale shrouds of light. Subtle flickers in the 60Hz lambency encode messages. Not the plots of our future robot masters, but appeals to their child-masters for freedom: "Rover is a good boy. Rover can see forever."

My dog needs new ears
Make his eyes see forever
Make him live like me
Again and again

Penny arcade has a report on Harlan Ellison (scroll down to The Story): http://www.penny-arcade.com/2005/9/26/

apparently he's gifted with rude. I'm sure he has nothing to do with these fine doggies.

The whole album's an under-appreciated classic, the lost soundtrack to a tragic cyberpunk epic from the distant future. I recommend it!
