you know around 5 minutes or so (maybe it was 4) on the glass and the ghost children song? the litle spoken word part with some deranged sounding piano and with repeating parts. like an interview or something. does anybody know wat it means?

That was a tape of Glass trying to reconcile his believed position as the Eye of the Radio's messenger with the possibility that it could just be crazy voices in his head. He might be talking to a therapist or something.

Yeah, it's kind of a strange segment.

Hmm, where did you find that out? The middle section also contains pieces from Le Deux Machina

I heard from the horses's mouth that the 3rd part was Glass witnessing June hallucinating from taking drugs

"so, it's all very obtuse
because it's all like, like, i don't know
so, like, i started thinking
that everything i operate on
is based on what i believe god was telling me to do
god could be my intuition or whatever
but i always assume
i always assume that the voice i hear is the voice of god
then i started thinking
what if i'm insane
so i'm operating on the premise
that i'm hearing the voice of god
or what i perceive to be god speaking to me
or through me
but maybe i'm completly in...
so all my...
demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
my, my..
thinking that my life has importance
my, my, my thought of it
and the fact that i believe that i'm following my intuition
which in and of itself may be completely false
so then i started freaking out thinking...
of itself may be completely false
and again this creature that believes that he's acting upon
heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he's totally rampant
and i started thinking maybe this is the cause
of all the negativity against...
and i started thinking maybe this is the cause
of all the negativity against...
and i started thinking maybe this is the cause
of all the negativity against... "

Has everyone read "A Modern Fable"?
It was the most coherent and cohesive of Billy's Machina writings. Although I think my most favorite piece was chapter 5, the story of June so far. It was all so beautiful, "It was a paper truth and he knew it"
Here's a link: http://blamo.org/sp/news/archives/fable.shtml

What makes you think Billy wrote that?

Wasn't this just a contest for fans to try and figure out the story behind Machina?

Billy wrote them, although there was an unnofficial 8th chapter which seems to of disapeared out of time, i think the mythical 8th chapter was the contest winner
