     this time last year, guy i barely know takes me aside to school me on The New Reality. .. to wit, he'd abandoned his wife and kids to take up w/ the spouse of another. was this to impress? to show he's a "big man"? all i saw before me was an ethical toilet (and to avoid tumbling in, i made hasty retreat to the DOOR).

    his present g_rlfriend once self-published an Autobiographical Novel with each part/section named for a Nietzsche major work. a neat trick / and one he will most certainly (inna spirit of playful competition ..) provide his own "whirl" or SPIN once he decides to dust off his own product. the short list of likely outcomes includes Every Chapter a Cameron Crowe Movie, complete w/ correspondences of qabalistic subtlety wholly lost on novices to that man's Life/Art.

    5. Start as close to the end as possible.
    According to the DVD commentary from director Rudy De Luca, most of the movie was filmed
    on location in Yugoslavia, using local actors. Because the film was made in a socialist
    country, order was maintained by the former communist government. Since the break up of
    Yugoslavia, and the subsequent civil war that followed, much of the village architecture
    depicted in the movie had been destroyed and many of the actors participating in the movie
    had died.

    - cool.
    - Don't judge.
    - hey, whatever's right.
    - Folk Revival is the only form of music, he spat impetuously.
    - hey, i just know bits an' pieces of his catalog, right? i mean, what sorta covers did he play?
    - How the fuck should I know? Insubstantial West Coast Clown music, far as I can see.

    AURORA PARALYSIS "Borrow My Body" split w/EGGS "The Obliviist" --
    another drone and hum workout from the auroras, minimal strums and
    drums set the rhythm while frances simmons slips her vocals in and
    out of the flow -- alternately soothing and disquieting, like
    nightmares when you're trying to sleep on a bad couch (ahem). it's
    not quite up there with MY aurora fave, "the messenger" (released
    last summer on Brilliant Records, p.o. box 17116, Richmond VA
    23226-7116), but it's plenty for you, bub... and it gets heavier
    than some aurora fare when guitarist scott hudgins kicks in the
    distortion part way through. scott's in sliang laos too, who just
    released the way cool "Alabama Ego"/"Shining Path" single which was
    mentioned by someone here a couple weeks ago. To get back to the
    single at hand though, the eggs side is pretty good too. A
    two-headed dog brought to us, appropriately enough, through a joint
    venture by Landspeed and Saltpeter records, P.O. Box 4066, Duke
    Station, Durham NC 27706.

    LABRADFORD/PITCHBLENDE/AURORA PARALYSIS 3/26/93 at the metrodome,
    richmond, va.

    a pretty grueling show all in all -- unlike mark, i enjoyed
    labradford's two man "we will crush you with our layers of sound"
    guitar and synth stuff. pitchblende was good too, though like last
    time i saw them, their vocals were almost completely lost in the
    mix... but their guitars were coming through loud and fuzzy!
    unfortunately, aurora paralyis wasn't nearly as good as the last
    time i saw them. the whole band seemed to have just woken up --
    absolutely no energy coming off the stage. of course, the audience
    was down to about 25 people or so, and everyone was just standing
    around -- not much energy there either. the metrodome is a pretty
    bleak place to see a show these days -- they lost their beer license
    a while ago and the water had apparently been shut off to the
    building recently as well... they're also changing the sound system
    around and don't seem to have the bugs worked out yet. oh well.
    aurora paralysis and pitchblende are playing winkies in 5 weeks or
    so -- should be much more fun.

    the _ Malheur Catalog: Access to Fools
    Contrairement à ce que le nom du groupe pourrait suggérer, aucun de ses membres ne s'appelait "Marshall Tucker" ou même "Tucker". Leur premier nom était "The Toy Factory" (d'après le prénom du guitariste principal Toy Caldwell), mais ils optèrent rapidement pour le nom qu'ils portent encore de nos jours. Caldwell expliqua l'origine de ce nom lors d'une interview radiophonique à Hempstead en 1973:

    "Il y a un vieil aveugle [à Spartanburg] qui accorde les pianos, et son nom est Marshall Tucker... Nous n'avons pas nommé le groupe d'après lui, mais nous aimions bien ce nom et avons décidé de le garder."

    Le site officiel du groupe fournit d'autres informations :

    "Lors des débuts du Marshall Tucker Band, dans leur Spartanburg natal en 1972, le groupe répétait dans un vieil hangar. Ils avaient encore à choisir un nom et un soir, lors d'une discussion à ce sujet, quelqu'un a jeté un œil sur l'étiquette pendue à la clé du hangar sur laquelle était écrit "Marshall Tucker". Ils choisirent alors de s'appeler The Marshall Tucker Band, ignorant que c'était le nom d'une personne existant réeellement. Comme il était temps de passer à table et que tout le monde avait faim, le choix fut vite fait. Quelques années plus tard, ils se rendirent compte que Marshall Tucker était le nom de la personne qui louait l'immeuble avant eux et qu'il figurait encore sur la clé parce que le propriétaire ne l'avait pas encore changée. Mr. Tucker était un accordeur de piano aveugle qui, avec son associé, utilisait l'immeuble pour ses affaires."

     what I did on my vacation
    for the last ten years
    took pictures of your town
    plaid perfume on my breath
    I mean I've been drinking scotch
    while touring through your town
    adultery makes you give things away
    it gets you confused
    adultery takes a one room vacation
    then it gets you alone
    turns into a honeymoon scream
    then you have to change the sheets
    smoke in one hand looking for a light
    martini in the other hand
    pointing out midnight


    Her first love was the bridge that brought the microcosm of the land of dreams. A bridge gave birth to the
    love that will forever companion. A life lost, one gained eternity. The sad though this film is painted with the
    left end of a sweet memory. A game of crossing bridges closed. At the entrance of every grief and fears,
    trapped in their own essence and remain trapped in the shadow of the bridge. On each occasion the world
    just keeps colors, and nothing prevents happiness. At the end of the starting material catalyzes everything
    together with its very essence, bridges collapse and emotions are released. That was an obstacle to happiness,
    now becomes part of a complete dream. Each chain is a ticket for a trip around the world.

    "Lines," Carol Said. "I can't compete. People talk of classics. These lines are classic. A hundred different people will say the same words. There are lines for the mother, lines for the daughter, for the husband and the lover. I'd rather see you dead at my feet. It's the same play repeated with different casts. What do they say makes a play a classic, Therese?"
    "A classic - " Her voice sounded tight and stifled. "A classic is something with a basic human situation."



    The room had blonde furniture about the colour of Carol's hair, and there was a bookcase as smooth as she could want it, with some good books amid the bad ones, and Therese knew she would never read any of them while they were here. A painting of a woman in a large black hat and a red scarf hung above the bookcase, and on the wall near the door was spread a pelt of brown leather, not a real pelt but something soneone had cut out of a piece of brown suede.

    (Muff Blague Gurl)
    She liked the work, liked Mr Zambrowski, and liked the lumberjacks and truck drivers who came into the office to warm their hands at the fire. One of the lumberjacks named Steve, an attractive young man with a golden stubble of beard, invited her a couple times to have lunch with him in the cafeteria down the street...He asked her for a date on Saturday night, but Therese did not want to spend a whole evening with him or with anyone, yet.

    who's the man that we admire !
    Yanni Hrysomallis is a real live wire !

    (Charles Hollander of Baltimore writes ..)
    But the next paragraph presents the chilling nexus of San Narciso, Washington and Dallas. De Witt was opposed to the state and was killed; someone unnamed was killed in Dallas, so (filling in the enthymeme) JFK must have been opposed to the state (or the military–industrial complex). Enthymeme by analogy: the House of Orange (the state) is to Jan De Witt as the military–industrial complex (the state) is to Dallas—which in 1964 stood for JFK. No joke.



    In The Courier’s Tragedy, Tristero is a contract–killing Murder Incorporated. The evil Duke Angelo has Tristero, not his own men, commit the state execution of Niccolò (an ostensible Thurn and Taxis man). In the novel’s base narrative, Fallopian suggests that Tristero may have been active in North America in the mid–nineteenth Century, hired by the U.S. government to consolidate its postal monopoly. Both narratives imply that the state sometimes uses hired assassins to murder unwanted or difficult persons so it can achieve its ends and yet disavow any official involvement should the matter come to light.

    Dorkismo: the Macho of the Dork (Maria Bustillos)
     A book I took an interest in, then forgot about, then - most fortunately - received as a GIFT.* The author - how you say? - "walks the walk" in terms of .. doing what she talks about, i.e., loving what she loves and presenting her argument in a congenial style that is neither academic, nor bereft of the sort of close/pointed analysis that, ideally, academic writing should provide. The book is bursting with personality and, well, personalities .. folks from the era before "Cultural Studies" became an affaire sérieuse: Mailer in the 50's, Sontag in the 60's, Lester Bangs in the 70's. A beautifully human book that - like the Fat Albert program of old - is as (secretly) edifying as it is entertaining.

    [* .. by way of the esteemed [info]dorothy_parka. i should also add that, after November, there will be no more th' Hipster Book Club. hopefully the archives will remain !]

    Frailin' on Mal Waldron vs Pickin' on Jethro Tull ..
    iss Mike too overdosed on his Charlie Tuna museum of taste to incorporate "Legend of Wooley Swamp" (th' South's vera own "Jožin z bažin") into his studied set of pre-war Ruralia? one thing's for sure, though: he hasn't seen the Muffin Man and he sure as shit don't know "Buckeye Jim" ..

    Deliberate Speed: the Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s
    "One does not disengage from society, Dahoud and the blues teach; one goes on with life."

    .. sure, John, but before you vanish up your own dark hole, pulling in the ladder rope behind you, understand that when we read we engage a crowd of voices / it is, by default, a form of community (128-129). and where is the LOVE if your instinct is to exclude, rather than *share*? (139)

    The Unwieldy Sandwich That Goes With Us
    Author cites the late David Eff Wallace / irony as th cheapest trick in the book: we've distanced ourselves for so long, the really hard part is re.engaging (free of fear, of looking silly). W.T. Lhamon brings Wittgenstein into the room, guy who tossed his entire first-phase philosophical edifice troo da winda / and - get this - *refused to replace it*. Wittgenstein of the Investigations, of the Notebooks, of the shoeboxes filled with notes and left under the bed .. he desired to tawk about things of this world, not necessarily Delighting in "disorder," but acknowleding/accepting it: "We want to walk: so we need friction.

    RGOTTLIEB: Tom had published his first novel, HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, with a small press. I was at a stage in my career where I was constantly reading magazines, small press books, looking for authors and ideas. I read that novel and was blown away -- I knew I was onto something big. I contacted Tom, and we worked together for twenty years.

    .. cf, Toole submitted Confederacy of Dunces to publisher Simon & Schuster, where it reached noted editor Robert Gottlieb. Gottlieb considered Toole talented but felt his comic novel was essentially pointless.

    Conclusion: Gottlieb has a raging hard-on for "Techno-thrillers."

    (Toole's biographers - a couple of 'em anyway - suggest that he was freaked out by the prospect of Clay Shaw's testimony during Jim Garrison's famous JFK-related court action [tainted by the Attorney's seeming Gayphobia]. Toole - according to a gal he went to high school with - surprised her with his knowledge of Shaw's [sorta] Sekrit Life. stands to reason that Toole might panic if he thought Shaw might be "naming names" as part of some Gay witch-hunt sideshow. anyway, *some* think this scenario might have been a component in the Author's suicide. ..and although Don DeLillo did a pretty excellent job dealing with the Assassination end of things in Libra, an even fuller picture of the place an' times would have to include David Lynch favorite Grace Zabriskie, whose folks ran a popular N.O. nightspot frequented by the likes of Kerry Thornley and the guy he thinks was E. Howard Hunt !)

    Eros and Magic in the Renaissance - Ioan P. Couliano
    The Psychic Soviet - Ian F. Svenonius
    Against the Modern World: Traditionalism and the Secret Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century - Mark Sedgwick

    some (seemingly disparate) lines of thought brought together by Sedgwick's (tricky yet respectable) History: Couliano was mentored by Mircea Eliade, himself a sometimes admirer of Julius Evola. and there is something of Alexander Dugin in Svenonius' rhetorical position as defender of Mother Russia (th' East Coast of the Western World, yo! / just as Pittsburgh - the Prague of Northern Appalachia - is the East Coast of the Midwest).
