The Ten Things You Don't Know About Britney Spears' Vagina Print E-mail
Friday, 08 December 2006

3disgraceslo "Britney, Lindsay and Paris: The Three Disgraces" by 14.

14, as she is known, is the creative force of one of my favorite sites, Gallery of the Absurd. Simply amazing, hilarious ... a treasure on the internets.

14 writes:

"La Primavera is one of Sandro Botticelli's best known paintings. The angelic figures shown in this ethereal work of art all represent mythological characters. While viewing this painting at the Uffizi, my eyes were drawn to the fluid movement and delicate beauty of the Three Graces. According to Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, charm and joy. Contemporary mythological characters such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are the antithesis of grace. This makes them the Three Disgraces. They represent sleaze, trash, and desperate cry for attention. What makes these women think we want to see high resolution photos of their bald, flabby, and in Britney's case, Kevin Federline-infected genitalia?"

now what you've all been waiting for:

Boney M Still As Big As Curried Frog In India Print E-mail
Thursday, 18 January 2007

I have a bunch of pieces in the works. Final installment of the Coming of the Great Darkness series. Modular synth stuff. More on Flapping limited release with the "lost" songs of the original Flight of the Atom Bee cd, including a new music video ... all kinds of stuff. The Ultimate Disposable Pop Music For Sale On eBay. A piece on Jorma Kaukonen's solo acoustic guitar piece on the Jefferson Airplane's album Surrealistic Pillow embodied, in two-and-a-half minutes, with no lyrics, all the optimism and hope of the West Coast for the future of America, before drugs, war, riots, and, as always, the assassins, took their toll on our dreams.

But nothing ready to post tonight. So, to keep the home fires burning ... here is a video I uncovered ... it seems like people, regular people, everyday people, not tongue-in-cheek people, not ironic people, in India pay to sit in a tiny theater and watch the Boney M  Lip-Sync Revue.

This is not a drag revue, nor is it a joke.

This is serious family entertainment. You can tell because the choir members lipsyncing the humming parts with their lips closed are really concentrating hard.

This is the kind of video in which one can immerse oneself, gleefully absorbing the subtle touches that emerge on repeated viewings. The girl doing the Swim. The guy lip-syncing "She was crazy like a fool. {But what about Daddy Cool?}" All of it.

It's happy time!  Cool

Be sure to watch the movie Sleep, starring Freddie in an homage to Andy Warhol. The video features the song Serenity Applicator from the Flight of the Atom Bee cd ... chock full of Serge bulbous and flapping bleeps, squiggles, and the carefully chosen and artfully placed intermittent Funky Worm, as declared essential by George Clinton.

"Each night I sit at home
Hoping that he will phone
But I know Bobby has someone else
(You're not a kid anymore)

Still in my heart I pray
There soon will come the day
When I will have him all to myself...

I want to be Bobby's girl
I want to be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me..."

Planet Hiltron Print E-mail
Wednesday, 13 June 2007

I first found Hiltron on myspace, due to the fact we share a passion for the wacky world of 14's Gallery of the Absurd. I was immediately attracted to Hiltron's darkly humorous, satirical photographic manipulations.

The subject matter: the vacuity of modern-day celebrity worship in our culture, of which Paris Hilton, mafia daughter, porn tramp, of the freakish bone structure, lazy eye, and bizarre body-part proportions, is the alpha and omega.

We are in the middle of five constitutional crises—there is only one reason the citizenry has not stormed Washington D.C. and the White House to run the homosexual Republican crime syndicate out of town—but the networks are all Anna Nicole, all Paris, all the time. (Hint: that's the reason.)

And now Hiltron has launched Hiltron's own site, Planet Hiltron.

sgt_hiltron

This one killed me. Anyone who has read any part of this site will know I am often lost in the music and culture of my youth. I mean, look at that collection of losers. P-Diddy? I must say I respect the man for making a fortune recycling rock songs from the seventies and eighties, laying some lame-ass nursery-rhyme chorus over the beat. Go Diddy. The Olsen Freaks? The vagina travelogue girls ... Britney, Lindsey, and Paris?
Fools rush in ...

Boy, You Been A Naughty Girl, You Let Your Knickers Down Print E-mail

From Mx.* 14 of the  incomparable Gallery of the Absurd comes another masterpiece. And she writes, "Diaper Man might not be a well-known Hollywood celebrity, but in our eyes he's an international star.  This jewel of a photo has been circulating the internet for years and we think it's time for him to make his appearance on Gallery of the Absurd.  We blended Diaper Man's disturbing pinkness with elements of Engrish nonsense for this monstrosity of a Valentine's card."

I wrote her and informed her that I had a picture to trump DiaperMan. 

There was a time, if one entered "idiot" into google images one of the first three pictures would be be a most amazing visage ... as John Lennon said in I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

You will want to click on read more to see the photo that tells us the sun never sets on the british empire.

I was working on a series of photograms with an artist friend. The idea
was to make images (photograms) with everyday household items that
get used as spanking implements. Then I made some rose photograms
and was fooling around and found the bottom image and put
the two together. My friend flipped out and
wouldn't work on the project anymore.
Oh well, I like the picture.
Think I'll do a limited edition of erotic art prints.
And if she ever gets rid of her deeply-closeted boyfriend,
I'll give her the spanking I know she so desperately craves.
 
 
Dream of the Wild Horses Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 November 2006

This footage was originally a short film that appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, in 1963, I believe. I digitized it, re-edited, applied some effects and added my own composition "Redhead Tells The Sun."

"Redhead Tells The Sun" was inspired by a psychic named Blair--our lives briefly, passionately intersected a couple of years back while I was on the lam in LA. Although skeptical of her powers at first, I came to believe very quickly that I was dealing with someone who had a foot in another dimension at all times.

 She often mused why I had "pulled" her into my existence. She believed I had been close to some edge and she came to pull me back from it. I think it was the other way around.

 I'll tell you this: if Blair told the Sun something, he'd listen.

In any case, the music complements the other-worldliness of the wild horses, the erotic power of the images, the flight from the abyss and the engine of creation as represented by the fire.

Scientists Confirm Existence Of The Arshole Molecule Print E-mail
Thursday, 01 March 2007

arsholeArsole Molecule from Wikipedia.             

Arsole is a chemical compound of the formula C4H5As. The structure is like pyrrole except that an arsenic atom is substituted for the nitrogen atom and that arsole is only mildly aromatic. Arsole itself does exist but is rarely found in its pure form. Several substituted analogs called arsoles also exist.

When arsole is fused to a benzene ring, this molecule is called benzarsole.

Furthermore, we can observe its profound effects on human beings when detected.  Scientists believe there may even be a cure in the future for those afflicted..

globule

 

From one of my favorite sites Astronomy Picture of the Day

This image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, shows evaporating gaseous globules (EGGs) emerging from pillars of molecular hydrogen gas and dust. The giant pillars are light years in length and are so dense that interior gas contracts gravitationally to form stars. At each pillars' end, the intense radiation of bright young stars causes low density material to boil away, leaving stellar nurseries of dense EGGs exposed. The Eagle Nebula, associated with the open star cluster M16, lies about 7000 light years away. The pillars of creation were imaged recently by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, and it was found that most EGGS are not strong emitters of X-rays.

 
The Serge Modular Synthesizer and the Origin of the Atom Bee Print E-mail
Thursday, 01 February 2007

serge007 The Serge modular system I used for Flight of the Atom Bee.

Unfortunately, this is not the photograph of the Bee patch itself: there were five positions across several panels where banana cables were piggy-backed five-high, routing control voltages hither, thither and yon. And, of course, many more spots where plugs were stacked two-, three-, or four-high, a symphony of brightly colored spaghetti strands.

For a more detailed description of the constuction of the bee, bird, bee-thought sounds, the drone, etc., please continue reading. But first ....

Ubi Mel Ibi Apes, along with my composition 3 seconds before Maia smiled, another song built around unique analog sounds from the Serge, are in the permanent collection of the SF Museum of Modern Art, as part of Glenn McKay's lightshow installation, Altered States. What does this mean? It means I got my name on a wall not in a public restroom for once.

Words To Live By: Tao Te Ching 64 Print E-mail
Friday, 02 February 2007

chinawatercolor

What is rooted is easy to nourish.
What is recent is easy to correct.
What is brittle is easy to break.
What is small is easy to scatter. 

Prevent trouble before it arises.
Put things in order before they exist.
The giant pine tree grows
from a tiny sprout.
The journey of a thousand miles
starts from beneath your feet.

Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
you ruin what was almost ripe.

Therefore the master takes action
by letting things take their course.
He remains as calm
at the end as at the beginning.
He has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
what he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
of who they always have been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.

-64

From The Tao Te Ching—The Canon of the Path and the Power:

In Tao the only motion is returning;
The only useful quality, weakness.
For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being,
Being itself is the product of Not-being.

Even here, in the simplest and final distillation of Zen thought, we find that it all leads back to a woman.
