Oui, Ouija
" Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to say
'Hello' to an old friend
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to get through
To a good friend
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
Because I still do feel
So horribly lonely
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
And I just can't find
My place in this world
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Hear my voice
(Hear my voice, my voice)
Hear my voice
(Voice)
Table is rumbling
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time, it spells
S T E V E N
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time
P U S H O double F
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it "

Monster Mashed.
Just freakin' my geek with
GIFtasticness . . .
Hell, who knows—one of these days I might join the ranks
of "technologically advanced, standard upright creatures"
and obtain/learn Photoshop
[ or, you know, whatever the Mac equivalent is. . . ]
Until then, however?
HERE'S THIS

Tatt-ered "Cø††øn" and Cottonmouth Kisses
I†† [ eye doublecross ] is not just a band;
they're "a low-fi hypersigil, casting spells in various mediums ."
[CUE EXAGGERATED SHRUG]
Cool by me, brah.
Though when I discovered the basis for "Cø††øN"—
the latest single the duo conjured & released into the world
was [quote] "influenced by [ my book ] Cottonmouth Kisses" ?
Well, the excitement level racheted a bit Richter,
not gonna lie. . .
Then, upon hearing the track?
That's when the really good news occurred.
I like it.
« © »
As in : I mean —
I really, really like it.
No need to elaborate, nor to "re-visit". . .
but we've all had at least one friend whose
band/stand-up comedy act/spoken word performance —
[ thought I'd keep the playing field fair ]
Y E A H .
You get it/You get it/You get it
Amidst the deafening silence & painful anecdotes that aren't being shared at this moment,
here's what is :
C H E C K · I T !
. . . & them ♥

Ah, but you know I've gotta 'get on up in'
this GIFtastic action!
[ a mere clicky-link away : H I T · I T & G E T · I T ! ]

Also, two other ways in which this obstinate child of mine
continues to make its mark upon the world
[ however great or small that may be ] :
Eleven years since the effer premiered in print, yet not till this turn around the calendar—
Two Thousand Eleven A.D.—is when a song about it was inked,
so to speak. . .

Ditto, these two lovely ladies :
ßiteMe ßlair from Concord, CA
[ Rockin' it legit, all up close & O.G. on the detail . . .yeah, that's how it is ]
As well as
Miss Melinda Wainright of New South Wales,
Australia
[ preliminary sketch, before 'the needle & the damage done' ]
&
Ta-da! — The outcome.

If you're not able to read the quotation obscured by my likeness?
That strand of syllables won't be found among the pages of Cottonmouth Kisses,
but rather within the Degeneracy: A Love Letter project —
which I'm hereby placing 'on the market'
ISO some serious match-making. . .
Said another way? Prospective publishers, literary agents, &/or
friends/kins/neighbors of the aforementioned?
Where there's an interest, I have a manuscript.
Let's talk.

About Art of Bleeding:
"The Art of Bleeding is a uniquely non-accredited educational institution offering powerful and ego-destabilizing lessons in health and safety. Our presentations (often staged from an ambulance) utilize live performance, film, puppets, music, animation, and thinly veiled medical fetishism to explore the topic of catastrophic health emergencies within the framework of children's television programming."
Hemoglobin Hotties
Also, here's a little
Bloody Cool ? Reverend Al Ridenour's Antics Define 'Sick' In The Best Sense Of The Word
———————————————————-
Though I digress. More about
The Last Saturday and Sunday of October!
"This Halloween weekend, The Art of Bleeding will once again transform the Steve Allen Theater parking lot into a ghoulish carnival of entertaining catastrophes featuring a SPECTACULARLY REAL MULTI-VEHICLE CAR-CRASH TABLEAU.
Against a smoldering backdrop of twisted cars, you'll have the opportunity to hear TRUE STORIES OF MEDICAL HORRORS and ACCIDENTS from a rotating line-up* of storytellers including MARGARET CHO, ANDY DICK, JIM TURNER, TOBY HUSS, EDDIE PEPITONE, SELENE LUNA, DON BOLLES, STEPHEN HOLMAN, CLINT CATALYST, DUKEY FLYSWATTER, DANNY SHORAGO, KIM STODEL, BIENO SVENGALI, and more.
Providing dubious educational counterbalance to these tales of trauma will be THE ART OF BLEEDING'S "Magic Ambulance Theater," a tragically misguided children's show featuring gore-drenched actors, pedantic Safety Ape, bickering robot, and an ample array of attendant nurses in less-than-ample wardrobe.
FEMALE BLOOD WRESTLING, and a frighteningly live sound-performance installation by the enigmatic medical miracles of BOUNCEHAUSEN round out the evening.
And by all means, feel free to come in your Halloween costume! Doctors, nurses, and ESPECIALLY accident victims encouraged. Prizes for outstanding achievements related to our theme."
(Again, there's a high likelihood this show may not be appropriate for children.)

*Please note: this event takes place three separate evenings. I've listed the two nights in which I'm a participant, for reasons that should be obvious— but hey! Maybe you're not super-saturated with information on a daily basis, nagging like a steady succession of pop-up ads programmed to auto-start with a You-Will-Watch-Me insistence so gauche; your keyboard locks, a carcinogenic hue plagues your screen, sweeps it dark when REALLY, ALL YOU WANTED TO DO IS—
Oh #whateverwhateverwhatever
If you're interested in attending Friday's show? Please, by all means!
Tell me all about it while we're exchanging niceties somewhere, sometime after the scenar in which I'm expected to answer 17 different versions of the same question because honey, I. Just. Can't.
F-Bomb the Ovaltine; maybe what I really need to do is gnaw new knowledge via. . .

Be Quick! To Pick Up $LØW HE4D
Lukewarm news to the deltoid devotees among internet enthusiasts, perhaps—
though still a hot tip for most :
Whether recent release or 'not-so' . . . latch onto the sound sculptures of
$LØW HE4D when & if chance presents.
two LPs, Two Thousand Eleven
[ Veins : Phantasma Disques ]
[ Night Glitters : Disaro Records ]
Haven't had the best luck with Soundcloud embeds in recent days, so
for a limited time—as in: cue the immediacy of infomercials here, kids—
I thought I'd share a track that doesn't appear on aforementioned albums
but remains among my personal favorites.
With brooding bass-lines and vocals so shrouded in glacial electronics, they
can induce gooseflesh on even the most brutal August eve: click-through
to DL " i will nvr get ovr u & will die w/ u on my mind "
« © »
Also!
As if the [ far from ] Slow Head isn't prolific enough on his own,
an individual known as 'Denounce' & he have a side project
is the name of said endeavor, & I'm living for " Sky Opener "—
total synthed-out sensory dream-pop for hazy days & lazy ways
[ Release forthcoming, via Haunted Cassette Tapes ]
However, since laziness won't help me with the novella
currently known as my To-Do list :
consider this my cue . . .
Though please do be sure & peep beneath the cut, where
a video for the single " Speaking in Tongues to Ghosts "
[ from Night Glitters ]
awaits

For Kathy, Upon Reading The Village Voice [ February 23, 1976 ]
Performance. The performative.
I need more performance art in my life.
Reading this clipping sped my pulse, made me feel
both as if I were a spectator and a participant in the event.
[ Each is the other, ultimately. ]
A nod to your ghost, Kathy Acker…
I never told you that several lifetimes ago, back when I lived
in a dry county in Nowheresville, Arkansas —
so eager to claw out of that place
the tips of my fingers ached
I stole a San Francisco telephone book from the local library
[ planning, as it were, my ' great escape ' ] and
was so stunned to see your name / number listed, I
had to call and confirm you were you.
Sorry I hung up, but not-so-sorry
Caller I.D. didn't exist yet in that
ancient history
What…I don't know what else
I could or would've said
My favorite writers, artists :
I guess I view them the way most people do "rock stars."
Even the term 'rock and roll' induces eye-rolling on this end, but
I'd stomp my feet and raise a lighter
for an encore
of your life, for
your life cut short —
This world is a cancer : it eats everything
precious, everything
every thing

where there's no hassle re: a cover, lover. . .
[ Unless you arrive after 11 p , at which time a fee of two dollars is requested.
As in, like : two dollars . ]
Just make it happen, O.K.?
O . K .
☿
Ah! & Not only/but also :
I'll be serving the WORLD PREMIERE
of a special release from I†† !
[ More shall be revealed
Soon . . .Soon Enough ! ]
