Endings.

People? People are chaotic quiddities living in one cave each. They pass the hours in amorous grudge and playback and thought experiment. At the camp fire they put the usual fraction on exhibit, and listen to their own silent gibber about how they're feeling and how they're going down. We've been there.

Death helps. Death gives us something to do. Because it's a full-time job looking the other way.
— London Fields, Martin Amis.

I often stumble into morbidity. At University I hosted a radio show on Sunday mornings. In the first week, I wanted to play “Travelin’ Light” off J.J.Cale’s album Troubadour. While researching the record I was surprised to find out that J.J.Cale was dead. Inspired, I invented a feature called ‘Graveyard Groove’; each week I’d play a track by a deceased person, and follow it up with a groovy dance tune to celebrate their memory. The show was axed after one episode.
