Gangs 
of 14 year old girls are kicking people to death on street corner
Gangs 
of 14 year old girls are filming the violent murder of grown 
men
On 
their pay as you go mobile phones
A man 
in my house said he’s seen the gangs of girls in the 
shop
A man 
in my house said they dress in a gang 
uniform
A man 
in my house said you wouldn’t blink
If 
one of these girls got hit over by a bus
Two 
unborn children were sucked out of my body at my 
consent
A 
brother and sister for my daughter and son
I let 
my hair down after work last week
A man 
said I looked like an earth mother 
With 
my hair around my face
I 
wondered how any woman with children
Could 
be anything but earths mother
Whether their hair hangs halfway down their back 

Or is 
shaved to a clean and shiny scalp
Gangs 
of teenage girls are murdering grown men
On 
the street in the middle of the night
My 
teenage daughter weeps for no reason in her 
bed
My 13 
year old daughter just wants to be left 
alone
With 
her new video mobile phone 
 
Each 
second hammers us one step further into the grave

yeah those dusters are definately meant to be canvas i think, aren't they
cowboy coats? i always associate them with the man with no name... i wish my
chap was some kind of cultist  but i suspect he may simply be a common
garden nerd. how amazing to think that there are actual death activists,
rooting for euthanasia with a little bit of the red to boot - some
ultra-violence perhaps?

I haven't seen The System, looking at a film still on the net it looks like
it could be brighton, the street lamps are quite familiar but then street
lamps in seaside resorts can look similar. I have seen Oliver, it was my
favourite film as a kid and I still have the original vinyl soundtrack. As a
child I heard to my dismay that Lionel Bart, the composer of the music for
the play and film, had been somewhat done out of royalties  and was living
in poverty i sent him my pocket money. He sent back a beautiful reply and
signed photo of the film cast which i still cherish. Another great actor in
the same vein as Ollie is Alan Bates who did a bleak film in 1978 that i'm
trying to get a copy of at the moment called The Shout - well worth a look.
I love girl on a motorcycle, although i think the book. that film, along
with Barbarella, awakened all sorts of queer tendencies - wonderful...

The High School boys. They wear those here too. they call them dusters.
well perhaps there is a finer distinction..
A true duster is canvas i think. A bit alarming because that was the style
of the kids who did the famous school
shooting here in oregon. but its inevitable i suppose, as is everything..
Virilio talks about a 'black party'
which isn't anything racial, but people who are radical activists for
death.. basically a political organization
based on radical depopulation theories..the party of serial murder.. I'm
sure Thomas DeQuincey wouldve
found that interesting as i certainly did. the urban planner as
philosopher as prophet in the old Orwellian mode..
They come with leather dusters & skull armbands in the night.. rousting us
from our dotty dreams of warm porridge
and googlevision.. :)

on a perhaps lighter note

I just watched  The System (1964) aka The Girl Getters
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060461/
which must've been filmed somewhere along there.. Is it really warm enough
to swim?
There's some ruins in the film but I can't figure out where it was filmed.
Somewhere
near Brighton? The next year Oliver Reed would play Bill Sikes in the
Oscar winner Oliver.
Really enjoyed seeing John Alderton, and a young David Hemmings in this
as well as good old Ollie R. Though I like "These are the Damned" much
better because..
It's got art, and sci-fi and apocalypse..

Next up is The Girl on a Motocycle (1968) which is really almost the exact
opposite film
in someways.. similiar nonetheless anyway.. Madame Bovary in leather?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063013/  I wouldve been 1yr old when that
came out.
But I've seen too many tired french gangster flicks with Alain Delon..
Purple Noon best thing
he ever did..

Thanks for this piece. always enjoy a cinematic peek at old Mother
Albion..

out of touch

2005-08-11 Thread pixel



for three weeks from tonight i'll be out of touch, 
i've been sending emails to people to let them know. but is it 
necessary? one of my colleagues replied 
'sweetheart, for the last thirty eight years you've been 
mostly out of touch, so why bother letting people know about these three weeks? 
any one who knows you doesn't need telling.'
 
i wasn't sure how to take this. is it funny? am i 
really so vague? ah well. i've been reading the mails and wanting to respond to 
so many over the last couple of months but i don't seem to have anything to say. 
i'm hoping that three weeks of rest will let my mind wander about a bit and find 
some new things. 
 
i'm a naturist. i have to go somewhere to be naked 
other than my house. this always seems a little strange to me, especially on hot 
days on a beach where nudity is not permitted. i can't understand what 
protection the little trangles of fabric are affording me? are they protecting 
someone else from me? perhaps they provide some form of defence? someone once 
suggested that it was a question of having some dignity, but i don't feel 
undignified when i'm naked, why would i? i drop all these ideas along with the 
pile of clothes on the floor and walk out into the air, i can feel the harsh 
fabric of other peoples expectations drifting away from me as i step 
into the sea and feel the cool water envelop my body, the salt pressing 
into my pores. i feel stripped and clean, recycled.
 
i will think of everyone while i'm nakedly absent 
and out of touch, my love to morrigan especially xx

Re: Save CBGB

2005-08-02 Thread pixel
My partner has played at CBGB's a few times, the first year we were together
and he was touring the US i stayed up til four in the morning to watch a
streamed internet broadcast from CBGB's when he played there - he dedicated
a song to me, it was called Rocket 69 :). Nowadays i see kids wandering
round the streets with CBGB tshirts on, wearing the logo like it's Nike, not
knowing what it is, what it means, it's just a cool looking logo that could
be made up in some fashion house or another. Like Motorhead tshirts and MC5
tshirts these days. it's just like punk. the bastards bought it off the
street wrapped it up in pretty paper and sold it back to the next
generation. my kids can buy ready made torn shirts complete with generic
graffiti and extra safety pins. ghosts of bands, venues and movements haunt
the highstreet.

Crash - (In some parts a response to Sondheims charm :) and in some parts an
echo)

Second sight works in cahoots with self-fulfilling prophecy
I saw you coming at me, slow moving accident,
Before you even knew your brakes had failed

We flung harmony and news at each other from under our battlements
Sitting on leather and carpet, waiting for Christmas,
Sucking up sex from our film logo teacups

We logged the silent messages and filed them as interstitial notation
I held up a hefty sham, transparent in it's falsity,
And you gladly gilded the loopholes with camaraderie

There was a perfect moment of limber and lucid transition
A fraction of time, effervescent with permutations,
Plumped with the tranquillity of temporal assent

Though long before the path became glassy with our accord
I saw you coming at me, slow moving, beloved,
Before you knew, and I was already dead on the highway
