Alright everybody calm down, settle down. This is the first executive meeting of Spotify Inc after it's acquisition by me, and I'd like to get right to the action: effective immediately, we are removing The Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" from the platform library. Alright, on to our next order of business: I am stepping down, you can keep the money

Very little is known about the Pre-Age poet DJ Crazy Times. Even his name is likely a pseudonym (popularly translated as "The Bard Of The Turbulent Era"). We believe his works were largely written to be set to music - however, the music has been lost. Indeed, only a small amount of the writing itself survives.

We do know that he was highly revered in his time. One source claims his works were definitive for a period of art around 50 years before The Destruction (ca. 1990-2000 in the Old Calendar). The few sources that actually quote his work have been dated at least twenty years later than that time range, though this is not necessarily a contradiction due to the known sloppy record-keeping of the age.

Included below is his most famous work, Fragment 14. The actual title has been lost - and what is left is, like all his remaining works, only a portion of the original.

14

place your fingers [

        ] dreaming,
        ] come - how can we understand;
        ] away as the beating of [
              ] ends all sorrow.

Yes, yes - excitement, and [
                                ] fingers;
electricity as [
                                ] fish1.

Existence is unceasing;
women [
            ] yearning [
            ] the Earth, ending [

[                                                 ]
take my body, sensation [
                  ] overwhelming;
the motion universal
