Jon Shoe! playing at Le Pub in Newport. This was one of those shows that was turned from a negative into a positive in true Jon Shoe! punk rock style. A whole fleet of cars filled with the Exeter faithful had travelled up to see The Cut Ups support Glass and Ashes. When we got there, Jon said "Do you wanna hear something funny?.......Glass and Ashes have broken down." We were pretty gutted as Exeter to Newport is at least a two hour drive. In the end it turned into a great show, all of the members of Ok Pilot had come up, were persuaded to play with borrowed instruments, then The Cut Ups put in a great set, the room was brimming with Exeter pride by the end of the night.
"At last, my arm is complete again!" Johnny Depp is a cutup in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
~or~ "why Vincent went bananas." Another digital cut-up, a corruption of information.
I've never seen the real painting by Van Gogh. Only reproductions. Have you seen the real painting?
Exposed inner dialogue
I have to keep going down this lane
I cant help myself
I am laying in bed next to an open window
5 am / no sleep
Lucky me
Birds are going
Ancient dialogue
I think I understand the patterns
Some other language
So beautiful and wondrous
Ancient
Like some hive mind formation or thought process working in a unified state
A connection point of smart logic
One leads and the others chant on in the background
I imagine a fire
Sticks and a giant red flame torching upward
Ancient animals and primitive people glowing in the moonlight and fire
So beautiful and so ancient
So in tune and vibrating like one big spark shooting off in some cosmic super mind
Something I do not intellectually grasp but is a type of felt understanding
Singing returns, a sound forming from source like some chaotic logic
Black soil, hive mind, feathers flame, natural disasters, frame style, in picture, frame trigger, fire, like a blaze, some hammer against a steel or iron surface,
Get down real low and smash the fucker with everything you got
I just cant feel this modern world right now
I keep tapping on this screen and the letters are being put straight down, to become like a thought thing heavy. Jolt, custom head garb like an exploding sun head dress holding a snake high up firmly in her hand. Feminine rattle bite and blood dread and buckets full of venom and blood pores down marble steps into some pantheon of magical fever and high temperatures, and fever, and a white robe, and fever, like jolted from this form into another form, into another form, reverberating off. Some dinosaur bones and bird heads on human bodies, arms raised and pointing upward.
Where is this all coming from
A frontier?
The bird sounds are starting to dissipate
Just when things were starting to get better
But it is totally cool - all under control
In some weird way I feel better and more optimistic than ever
Birds are back. Juicy little squeaks
The same kind I have been making on my synthesizer
Some kind of deep and intuitive ancient thing I don’t intellectually understand which is the whole point isn’t it?
Another completely different form of very alien communication
One of my favorite things about finding fallen and trimmed branches and logs in LA is the chance to see what's going on in the cross-sections. I've seen paperbarks now for years, but until I got these limbs, I had no idea what was under the layers of spongy bark.
Jenny's dad killed and gutted a bucket of eels which became a very tasty part of lunch. Gotta say they are slippery suckers. I was impressed that he could hold onto them so easily. He would scoop one out of the bucket, hold it by the tail and swing it and wack its head onto the side of the bucket to kill it and then he used the scissors in gutting and cutting it into pieces.
We were in Shuibian over the Dragon Boat Festival.
June 10 - 15, 2013 we were on a trip to Shuibian, Jiangxi province to visit the family of our friend Jenny. It was a very rural China experience.
