The Eye Of Fatima, Part 1 opens Camper Van Beethoven’s tender coming-of-age-in-Amerikkka soundtrack “Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart.” This is the first installment, retroactively i guess…hmm…towards the fullfilling of Penniless Cripples’ request… …wait a sec. Can’t get me ‘ead ’round that one. the whole “Retroactively First” thing…the “Tania” being first (but it’s, like, onna B side, right)… Anywhich witch, it’s the first tune on the album. I had WAY toooo much fun making this, and count it as Sacred Action in a campaign marred by secularism en extremis. I feel i have to acknowledge that even though Anubis apparently opted to remove His images from the final cut they played fantastic in the raws. It’s always an honor. The sigil known as The Eye Of Fatima is the all-seeing eye on an outfacing palm. It’s used to ward off the Evil Eye™ and explicate decent rates for quality palmistry and roadside psychic services. I think it was used differently prior to the rise of Fox. Maybe not. Jai Ma Jai!
