Interesting, possible? exciting on a scary level - but always - the question today and everyday - what is real? who is telling the truth? Why should this ‘news’ be any different from a Fox broadcast, CNN, New York Times? Just saying…
Floods in Pakistan push the spiders to web the trees - severely cutting down on mosquitos and malaria - BIBLICAL!
Cromagnon - Orgasm - 1969 Cave sounds - The gases produced from eating bags of popcorn - Its like a terrifying soundtrack to a movie you have never seen. Cromagnon was an experimental avant-garde band of the late 60’s from Southern Connecticut. Their sounds invite you into a world of mystery and suspense. The sounds they produced foreshadowed many genres of music that are popular - no wave - noise - industrial can all be heard. The song “Caledonia” is like a black metal song before such a genre was created. Their style was open to the experience of creating music, so it invites something new and exciting - pure momentary energy. With sounds taken from random people off the street, in the hall ways of the studio, or whatever instrument they could find - be it rocks and sticks or broom handles to bag pipes - they were able to lay down a tribal experience few have endured. A great mind expanding listen. Interview with the remaining members in 2002 - http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/338
VIVOS - The underground system of shelters for when the prophecy’s come true… A great countdown clock - to get you anxious and fearful of the next great catastrophe - “It wasnt raining when Noah built the ARK.”
”Vivos is also encouraging universities to donate DNA samples of “every living thing on Earth” to be stored in their refrigerated vaults.”
Supposedly there are several around the world - one in the center of the U.S. - Nebraska - can hold hundreds for up to one year - then what?

I recently got the chance to view this film and was blown away by its beauty. Vik Muniz a Brooklyn artist travels to Rio to document and create work with recyclers of the Jardim Gramacho Landfill. His photographic portraits of the workers are projected then filled in with recyclable material, then photographed again. The prints were auctioned and the sales go to workers in some form. Its imagery is disgusting and beautiful at the same time - it makes you think about human condition in general - why are we here - what are we here for and what are we doing to us?
Joel Peter Witkin - Brilliant!
