"Then I reflected that everything happens to a man precisely, precisely now. Centuries of centuries and only in the present do things happen; countless men in the air, on the face of the earth and the sea, and all that really is happening is happening to me..."

"Piss in your lemon flavored Snapple!"

The change of seasons was sudden. Isn't it always? The sudden eruption of life from spores nests wombs and eggs happens in my mind also, makes me a little crazy, large. Running fingers against the surface of things.

dueling quotations

"all pleasures eventually equalize; their difference is of duration and degree. when certain pleasures are constant we naturally strive for their preservation. hence to me a 'large fat woman's bottom' is spacious and spatial- i know nothing better- so why should i disavow or transfer to 'love of god' or anything else? i am loving god via a fat arse..."
Austin Osman Spare, from 'The Logomachy of Zos'

amen, brother

massive downloads of text into my brain studying major magicians of the 20th century Spare and Crowley, doses of Wilhelm and Jung, dashes of Yeats and Reich, the brain blowing dynamus of Kirby Rex skull fucking me senseless

every breath is an erotic experience with the right woman in mind

"Entrances do not become exits, and there is nothing to guarantee that the door you walked through a moment ago will still be there when you turn around to look for it again. That is how it works in the city. Every time you think you know the answer to a question, you discover that the question makes no sense."

Fun times with Gentle and SSY the other night. Shit, this cafe is closing...anyways, oh forget it.

"{Blank} can fucking suck it"... laughs galore

MOL had one of our semi-annual get togethers (minus Mr Townley, who all 3 MCs proceeded to harangue with voluminous text messages)- many, many, many drinks were downed, wieners eaten, freestyles spun. you shoulda been there, even if i can only vaguely remember fragments of the night myself...

speaking of which: i opened up a new journal page called 'The Fugue' under the ssy heading- no relationship to the old Neuroses Are Red story- since i finished the Grammer, i've felt the need to have some other place to pour my thoughtflow besides the never ending chain of letters i send some of you dear, dear friends of mine- compulsive typing ensues...

the re-mix of the water album's done, but i'm withholding it until i finish the liners, being the uptight and anal perfectionist i am. the artwork for the boxset is mostly complete as well- one or two weeks tops, promise.

dinner tonight: curry flavored hamburgers on delicious wheat rolls- get jealous beaches.

showtime

two esses, this be gentle...let's plan on this saturday if you're available (afternoon the best time?)...as for shows, word on the street is nap's got a place in mind in spanish harlem that runs a hospitable open mic forum for catz like us (but is there anyone like us, truly? i digress)

anyway will call soon to firm this up

...like Beth Gibbons in the morning light...

the double-s-y coming to you from planet fucked up REGISTERING SIGNAL: we have contact

the MOL box is coming along, doing a motherfuck of a cover representative of the extent of our themes over the years: sex, death, magic, dirty buildings and snakes; collecting material for the booklet as well
the water album ('Let Prayers Carry On and Words Fall Like Rain' for those of you who can't see past the vague and lazy esoteric moniker for our second album) will be undergoing a complete re-mix and master, including a new version of 'stay' unearthed from the session tapes and new liner notes to replace the ones i made like what, ten copies of?
had a talk with that old sea dog Richard Townley who will be entirely co-producing the music and production of the new MOL ep to be included with the box... just need to get some vox in the can and we'll get this thing out- yo Gentle and Nap, give me an evening call between 5 and 9 and let's get this shit sorted
also need to grab a show date somewhere... any fucking ideas?
ssy, toastedly

with a twist

will try calling this wknd for a session...for the uninitiated, this means new vocals from the clown prince of crap (as dubbed by double-s) may be forthcoming...and frightening...and potentially LUCRATIVE!!!...and why do the sox keep picking up these no-name pitchers off the waiver wire?
