    Austin Osman Spare

    before I pass out here are a couple more Tower cards the Diamond Tarot: When it comes to TAROT I'm not a fan of the GD nonsense ( Thoth & Rider-Waite ) but the Diamond tarot does have a certain trippy feel that I like The Crystal tarot ( by Elisabetta Trevisan ): "infinite emotions through...

    Austin Osman Spare

    A Brooklyn Culture Mafia

    when I lived on the estate the Guardian like to write about ( BLADE RUNNER MEETS BERGHAIN! ) there was a guy, let'd call him "*UNTY" who liked to experiment on the more depraved residents by injecting them with unknown compounds ( nowadays these might be termed "research chemicals" ) - this...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    now is a good as time as any to relate the boring story about how I picked up copy of the Rallizes book this week UPS mailed me telling me they were going to deliver at an inconvenient time, so I chose to redirect to the nearest "pick up" point so on my lunch break I head off to the 'little...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    I'd write JACKS into the equation, Miztutani definitely modelled his hair on the lead singer ( guy on the left: Keiji Haino and Miztutani both copied the hairstyle, it is plain to see ) Mitzutani and Haino HATED each other, a rivalry worthy of a novel meanwhile I have been quietly...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    Rallizes - darkness returns ( live February 13, 1993 - BAUS ) the comeback gig - starts out as 'rock" and ends up someplace else, echo and feedback and darkness

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    and yet I end up buying a 10 CD plus Blu ray box set of Space ritual because Lemmy's bass solo on the Sunderland gig has an extra note

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    ooh, I thought you were talking about bottling JP! I'd have let loose on the Scouse Dylan bore if possible... he was going on and on," can you not hear the tambourine is on the offbeat on the Saturday night recording?" boring, "this is minutely different by milliseconds to the 200 other CDRs of...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    they only had the one: "IRON DREAM live in London 1977 " if you like hawklords, this is pretty good edit: if you are into alt NAZI BIKER MYTHOLOGY, then Norman Spinrad's IRON DREAM sci-fi novel is pretty good as well

    I asked about "meth", it's in the north of the state apparently we went to Milwaukee, to the 'hipster area" where the amazing art gallery is ( well worth a visit ) and there was a second hand shop and I pointed out to my brother that they had a bent spoon ( slightly blackened on the underside )...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    lol! there was some Scouse Dylan bore with a pile of CDRs fussing about the intricacies of whether the tambourine hit was on the 2 or the '2 an' beat on the "second date' and he was boring the staff and, more importantly he was blocking the entrance to the back aisle where the miles boots were...

    The Velvet Underground vs The Grateful Dead

    shocking that the VU boxset was so limited, I bought mine in HMV in the ORACLE for £20 and now it goes for stupid money last month I came home from Japan with a suitcase full of Miles Davis and velvet underground bootlegs...( and a Hawklords boot! ) can you guess where I bought them?
