As well as being Free, Loca Records are producers of particularly wonderful music.
I wish they would hurry up and release their next album: “Pirate This Music!”.
I have money. I have brown paper bags. Non-sequential notes could be arranged.

Buy some of their other records while you’re waiting. “Affectivity” by Meme is transcendently wonderful.

In 1994 I was living in a student house with a psychopath. One of the other people resisting this suggested we go and see “The Lion King” at the cinema and I said yes.
My favourite song from a cartoon that John Kricfalusi will never convince me is not excellent was “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”. The core of this song is, y’know, mush, however well Elton and Sir Tim may have constructed it. But oh, the intro and outro. The comic relief, Timon and Pumba, can see precisely what the lead characters falling in love means. And they frame the song with this in a way that…
This is not irony and it does not ironize the song. But, my God (and here I would refer you to Lestat’s apology for using the phrase), it gives the most jaded cynic no excuse. Timon:
“I can see what’s happening, they don’t have a clue, he’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom line: our trio’s down to two.
The sweet caress of twilight, there’s magic everywhere, and with all this romantic atmosphere, disaster’s in the air.”
The problem with ideologies of resistance to “the culture industry” is that sometimes surplus value bites both it and you in the ass.

Thank you to my family for an amazing fathers day. I feel like I have had about three parties today.
Two little bats were flying around the garden last night.
I like bats.
“The Ubu Plays”, Alfred Jarry.
“Writings”, Art & Language.
It’s good to have a Moleskine as well.
Well that’s three days lost to a Debian upgrade screw up.
On the plus side I have a nice clean install of Etch now.
Thanks to Matt Lee for help and emotional support. 😉
A helpless, fearful despair
that I have not felt for a quarter of a century.
A vertiginous clarity of the flow of patterns of all things that I have not seen in fifteen years.
orderingSMALL PRAIRIE TUMBLEWEEDS $15.00 U.S. Dollars PLUS SHIPPING charges to your state or country …12 to 14 inches in diameterIt’s my birthday next week, who wants to buy me one? I’ve wanted one since Siobhan Hapaska made a sculpture using a tumbleweed. Or possibly since “Shooting Stars”. But anyway, I’m after one.
