More.  And:
Upon his release, Spence made his masterpiece, “Oar,” in Nashville. This solo disc, on which Spence plays every instrument, is perhaps the strongest psyched-out legacy of the time — dark, harrowing and mad, the American answer to Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd’s similarly crazed first guitarist). “Oar” sank like a stone [...]

Gaspar Noe is following me around.  Sure, he’s successful and widely known, but his first movie was recommended to me as possibly a new “Taxi Driver” – a movie I’ve been obsessed with and is directly related to my first novel, The Golden Calf.  I didn’t like the movie because it makes you desire for [...]

Alex Jones goes off on Anderson Cooper.  He’s right, in a way – the media fosters violence much more than people like Alex Jones, or even Sarah Palin.  Because she’s given voice without being condemned – just treated like a celebrity talking.  But the people who are most stupid in the tea party probably do [...]

Discovered Sott.net via a Facebook posting by Evolver.net. A nice lengthy dissection of Alex Jones that echoes what I’ve been thinking. As I wrote on Facebook:
RA Wilson calls some conspiracy theorists “adrenaline addicts.” Think that describes AJ. He wants there to be a conspiracy more than he wants there [...]

As anti-right militia as I [...]

This is immense.  A letter from Jack Kerouac (via Dangerous Minds via Letters of Note):

It says:
Dear Lucien & Cessa — Writing to you by candlelight from the mysterious Casbah — have a magnificent room overlooking the beach & the bay & the sea & can see Gibraltar — patio to sun on, room [...]

Looking forward to the movie.  Meanwhile, Scribd is amazing.  Or illegal, not sure which:

There was a recent Facebook thread by Evolver.net about Zeitgeist and the Venus Project that got surprisingly cynical.  First comment:
Who wants to live in a world like they propose… it’s f***** up!!
I’ve written here before that these two movements seem weirdly and unnecessarily at odds with each other.  One group wants to elevate consciousness [...]

Not as terrible as I was expecting. I was expecting anti-UFO propaganda, but really when you break it down the abduction experience does scare the shit out of people so portraying it that way is not entirely taking poetic license. It’s not the same thing as how abduction was portrayed in “Fire in [...]
