From an Interview with Tessa Dick

What was Philip K. Dick’s relationship to music?

TD: Phil loved music. His first job was as a clerk in a record store (Art Music). He loved classical music first, but in the 1960s he discovered rock and roll. At one time he played a triangle in an ensemble put together by the avant-garde composer Harry Partch.

Now wouldn't that had been nice to listen and see!

The Whales of Anaphoria

The whales have been known to keep themselves propped up vertically out of the water for minutes. Everyone has seen them at one time or another. Even above on the cliffs. They are so large and their shape, their color cannot help but stand out from the waves. No one is quite sure how they do it. Figure it is some type of trick they have learned over time. Someone thought maybe they use the sunlight to heal themselves from the germs that cannot help to succumb to it.
And their songs are remarkably different from other places although the locals find nothing unusual in it. They have their horns they play back and forth with them from their boats. This has been going on for so long one can no longer tell one from the other. Or who learned from whom or how much from each other. In the water is the best place to listen, can you tell?

Article from 'The Derketo Daily'

By staff reporters

NABU CONGUL, January 11 - Workers at the Pachinko
industrial plant have won a wage dispute that prompted the company to
shut down its Nabu Congul factory and disguise it as a robbery.

Employees arrived at work yesterday to find the factory stripped of its
most valuable machinery.

Nearby residents said they heard metal scraping along concrete overnight
and glass breaking shortly before dawn.

"I couldn't sleep," said Yuko Visma, who lives 50 meters
from the plant. "I didn't want to go outside. I thought the plant was
being raided. That, or they'd started work on a new production line. The
noise."

Police were called to the scene by Pachinko employees. A spokesman said
investigators had ruled out robbery and confirmed none of the factory
workers were suspects.

Added to police evidence was a tape found outside the plant. The
recording, made the following day, documents sounds of a spontaneous
mourning punctuated with the sounds of smaller machinery being turned on
and let run at times. It is believed the tape is of the former
employees.

Having discovered the tape, authorities stopped the removal of the
machinery off the island. The company was under injunction for the
backpay of wages dating back to last year.

Police say Pachinko's owners chose to abandon the machinery. It has
since been returned to the factory where workers have reassembled it and
are running it themselves.
