About Me

“It is clear that the world is purely parodic, in other words, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form.

Ever since sentences started to circulate in brains devoted to reflection, an effort at total identification has been made, because with the aid of a copula each sentence ties one thing to another; all things would be visibly connected if one could discover at a single glance and in its totality the tracings of Ariadne’s thread leading thought into its own labyrinth.

But the copula of terms is no less irritating than the copulation of bodies. And when I scream I AM THE SUN an integral erection results, because the verb to be is the vehicle of amorous frenzy. "

The Solar Anus
Georges Bataille

Being that I am Tumblr-less, let me set aside the grey-fonted mask of the anon order and take to this outlet--from whence I originally found your splendid page--to properly exude gleeful gratitude for Beautiful Losers, which I (by this point painfully) have yet to read. Anyway--again, much praise for your page, which is invariably brimming with awesome, informative aesthetic-spacetime travel. We also anon-chatted about MBV a few times, if that rings any inkling of bellage.

    Have you read Beautiful Losers yet? I may have a PDF of it that I found a little while ago.

    Golly(I regret that immediately), that would be magnificent. I have hovered near the prospect of buying it a few times recently. There may have even been some light grazing of said prospect. And yet no dice. Or book. So yes, please, if possible. And say, what was your reaction to the MBV record?

    The crust punk scene is kind of cool here, although most of local punk I've heard lately is mediocre at best.

    First and foremost, apologies for the delayed response. To answer your question (although I'm sure you've probably already seen Anger) it depends on what you want from your Anger experience. I would suggest Lucifer Rising or Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, but a more responsible answer would point me to Rabbit's Moon or Scorpio Rising.
