so today pictureplane's new album thee physical received it's physical release. travis egedy is a prophet, a poet, and a friend... not just to me, but to anyone fortunate enough to interact with him. admittedly this statement is based on a night spent in his company bingeing on mdma with some other close friends... a night of music, lasers, drag, shoe licking. still rolling on our way to the airport i handed travis the camera and asked him what informs his work... the following is his response.
his new video for post physical is perfect... chaotic, beautiful, and without pretense.
beyond all that, last saturday was pretty ill... so much so that i just said ill. we had the first installment of 120 MINUTES (a night i'm throwing here in SF). LIGHT ASYLUM played an amazing show, oOoOO, Harrison, and Josh killed it with their DJ sets... and i felt solid on my audio/video set...

oOoOO

speaking of... check out this video for king night. honestly... no idea if it's official... been busy as fuck and out of the loop lately... but, regardless it's hot as all shit. dark and tripped out... magic.
anti-anxiety spell... even though jung is often discredited in psych community because of his association with the analysts, as well as his more esoteric ideas on the collective unconscious, he is still considered one of the more brilliant individuals to have ever lived and many of his ideas are integral to modern theory, culture, and critique... he had a lot to say on the importance of dreams, art and mysticism and their value in combination with logical positivism... dreams, art and mythology are some of many good means of confrontation and alleviation of anxiety built up through schemas of thought and role conflict... i personally find that anything that involves ritualism, chanting, repetition, confrontation, and a lack of overall seriousness helps me quite measurably. its kind of about immersion... so it's best to watch it close up, full screen, with the volume up... whenever you watch it, watch it all the way through to the end, it gets less overwhelming as it goes along... and try and watch it in a dark room at least once a day for a week or two. ...so, i hope this helps you in some way... (it's made up of several audio and video sources i mixed together... some of them produced by me, some of them appropriated and highly processed and distorted... fire, zombies, children, chanting, rhythm... )
anybody who's anybody is a busybody everybody. as evidenced in the plethora of mediums Maximilla Lukacs' work shows up in. good stuff all around, but i'm particularly taken by these two videos at present... the first because it reminds me of the intro to the wonder years via my childhood (read as: small town punk rocker with nothing to do)... the second (done for her boyfriend Guy Blakesle's Entrance Band) because it feels like a psyched out Maya Daren treatment of sorts...
most of what she does are shot for shot remakes of well known experimental awesomeness... but she grabs from good places, and if Tarentino can make a career of it, why not someone more attractive? pajo-where eagles dare mp3 the entrance band-grim reaper blues mp3
hate your parents, love your friends...warm days that taste like nicotine, sweet-tarts and sex... smoking, drinking, fucking, fighting, dancing. innocence and debauch. no one understands you, every song is about you. it's come time for some kind of teenage riot. ...and i thank girls for bringing us one. this is the video for the song lust for life (mp3 link borrowed from cobain in a coma, an amazing blog if for some reason you don't already read it)... off the absurdly perfect 7" of the same name. limited and long since sold out, the fucking thing came with a corsage. perfect. and so is this.
for those (likely most of you) who missed yer chance to grab said single... you get one more... girls full length album is (finally) to be released on september 22nd of this year on true panther sounds, and if you pre-order it through insound you get a free copy of lust for life with a new b-side: "life in san francisco". precious.
