guess what i saw stapled to a telephone pole today...

sign that said "CASH FOR YOUR WARHOL" with a phone number included. Pissed my fuckin' pants.

guess what i heard on public radio today

a hot noise band whose name escapes me...but you can't escape the vibe--MOL, Rum, whatever...we're in your business

When all the rum's been run...

hey folks and folkettes-
thanks for the fucking brilliant show at the As220 last week- especially the band (this time around): Pete B, Sam C, Pete P, Sam H, Tashie; thanks to the folks at As220 itself for putting up with make up, cds, cords and fucked-up-ed-ness all over the place, and thanks to Paula and Maria for helping with the equiptment while we regained our sanity, or what little is left of it.

so that's about it as far as the RUM story goes- we're going to be transubstantiating into something entirely different, but possibly more deranged and frightening, over the next few months... when September rolls around you should be hearing from our new iteration, (hailing from The Skull Kingdoms perhaps?) our last CD, a collection of live material and two or three new songs, should be littering the streets and bars of Providence next month. if the original Rum dudes can put ourselves together without suicide, prisontime, ODing or straitjackets involved, we may one day spray our juicy goodness in your ears again like obscure aural pantheistic pornography, until then... keep yr lwa lowered...

the oracle will also be delivering some MOL anniversary show and box set news to you soon... whose fucking website is this anyway?

ssy the aural oracle

fellas apologies for missing the rum show

to quote cappadonnna: i had my alibi tight that night (workin' late)...double-s, no bullshit this time, callin' tues. afternoon to twist off if you're available...sure the sho' was tight

Le Fraternite du Serpent et le Tambour invitez vous

run rum on July 9th, friday night

hexagram 24: the return

greetings... returning to the blog after an extended leave, i bring you news and salutations.
the art for the MOL box set is finally done after endless procrastination- i'll be throwing together the template at the end of the week. as far as actual copies, it will be slow going... they're going to cost about five bucks each, and seeing as how i am poor folk and involved in at least one other group, it will be a bit before it is available for the general public. i have a list of about forty or fifty of our friends and fam who get first dibs- thereafter i plan on harassing the kind folks at the Time Capsule and Armageddon to carry a few at any given time. anyone that is interested can contact me at ssytheauraloracle@hotmail.com with their land mail address and i will gladly put you on the list to send you a copy which contains:
The Snake Horse Anthology, Flame is Fire and Fire is Flame, a newly remastered Let Prayers Carry On and Words Fall Like Rain, Between Earth and Heaven, and The End of the Word- also an exclusive thanatoerotic slipcase cover and informative booklet for your troubles. you can get most of that shit on the links to your left, but fuck the internet- home made cds are where it's at.

in RUM news: shows coming up for July, as well as a new album in the works tentatively titled 'the Golden Spider'. keep your eyes peeled for more info right here.

ssy

you know you're headed for a fall
