I think that I'm done with the first song of my next album Goto. The song is called Traffic Jam. It's good to start an album called Goto with a traffic jam song, I guess. I started to write this song 5 years ago. If each song takes about 5 years, this album should be finished in 70 years. Don't miss Toog's 4th album in 2076! If you're stuck in a traffic jam, you know that time has a different shape. The song is 5 minutes long and the intro is about 2 minutes. There is some Nicholson's voice sample, from the excellent movie Five Easy Pieces by Bob Rafelson. There is a traffic jam scene; during the horn concert, Nicholson climbs on a moving truck and plays a virtuoso classical music piece on an out of tune piano. It's a beautiful scene! There's also an interesting traffic jam scene at the end of Ferrara's King of New York, when Christopher Walken is found dead by night in a New York taxi. By the way, if you love Christopher Walken, you should watch his amazing performance in Wild Side by Donald Cammel (1995).
