Mauling List III

 This is a copied text of the Mauling List newsletter. It is corporate muck and pure spam. (Images attached in this special edition!)

After one year of collecting/editing photo, video and audio

01:Mauling List Volume One-  Snippets of upcoming albums and audio that goes to stories I am working on. 16:06
02:The Devil's Junk Mail- The unpolished version using three banjo layers tuned to a dulcimer, with four or five vocal layers. Also, A tambourine! Sardonic Macabre. A skeleton tattoo on a college hipster. A video of a horned demon handing out bills will turn up someday.

Mauling List Vol III:
Stomach worms: Western Civilization is a can of car insurance. It can be an ocean of wonder, too, you know.
Featuring music and video from almost a dozen projects, all run on the scientifically proven Zero Dollar Budget technology.



These videos connect to Paige in symbol and subject.

I'll send out free copies and a discography of these when they are all caught up on and completed.. especially if some of you have, stamps maybe? And some DVDs.

Oops I'm risking backlash

 The post that was never finished but posted anyway.

So many people try to save America. Can't you find something better to do with your time like criticizing others who are trying to save entire countries?
Warning: The proceeding information is all complete fact and not opinion
America is a company, you are it's little worker bee.. Except bees have stingers, our defenses have been minimized to cardboard signs with generic pleas to be allowed a Novocain numbness in a  recess- session. We have no stingers... that we know of.


We Handle Recessions Quite Well

"A cheaper oil change IS the cataclysm for a revolution"
It's easier to put words into little metaphorical poems rather than speaking bluntly or in terms you may  disagree with or even regret later on.. To risk later being wrong and to actually formulate an opinion, loved or hated, is one of those cute keys of freedom that 'being an american, glorified and proud' has been pussyfooted and shaken loose out of our practice. A certain inability to put yourself in the risk of being on the shit-list of common opinion is rolled tightly in reasoning knowing that a disadvantage of getting closer to that CHEESE in the rat race might abruptly be cut short. Cheese... cut... shit, that sentence should at least make it into the Ny Journal if it were to be fragmented into an incomplete, face-book compatible catch phrase.

Should I be in greatest debt to you
for this is nothing but a looney bin without white walls
wrist cuffs with cycling metronomes,
Expectations that might mug a nun for good credit.

"...enough..."

I see cardboard signs of nascar drivers that ring the epitome of a consumer culture. A cheaper oil change IS the cataclysm for a revolution, I don't argue with that at all but... An opinion-less shit grinning Jeff Gordon who not unlike service fighters can be proud to wear company logos and garner no act of individualism whatsoever... That just personally make me feel a bit uneasy. Even queasy.

Despite all of that I am going to make it much less than well known but well known enough that I am offering my own brand of car insurance. I kept trying and thinking and comparing formulas. Checking in with my scientist buddies, who have degrees in science, which means they know what is going on, we came up with some stunning results (which are not at all going to be discussed here because as they are involved with higher degrees of science, it isn't Joeseph Anybody or Carrol Whatshername that could 'get' these breaking discoveries.)
I saw the divisions of people all wanting to be spared the suffering of what is a 'get rich quick salvation' or the escape-hole luck of finding a winning lottery ticket: Two of the only ways to get out of living a life of bleeding profusely on the inside with 'get-along' smiles.
The answer did not come through abolishing taxation or creating a new flag with zig-zagged stripes and smiley faced stars. I looked around and saw what everybody wanted... They had wanted car insurance.


Do you feel inhumane trying to usher humanity into human-kind?

Levin Stone II

'Full view' set on highest-quality for the best results.

Levin Stone II: A revisit to the first Levin.
I corrected some of the doofy areas of imagery and added in much more over the extended audio of the Levin Stone video. [View old video and write-up] Electric Lines [Soil Finn/myself] worked as the audio and the images were photographs as well as a couple of video pieces tied together in certain frames that I captured in Taughannock falls. This connects to other videos as well with symbolic gestures as the focus. (Half Of It, Talisman and Paige's Dragonfly are the current pieces in this project that can be taken as individual videos or as one whole grouping.) I'm very exhausted from running around, missing buses, getting drenched in the rain and such all to get reliable internet connections to try to share these. Those are all stories for another day. Running around with a tambourine in a backpack makes time less of a hassle and each step more of a metronome
The area of the video with the crows was an idea I had tampered with using a chroma key to get the white the hell out of the photograph and then using two video tracks of the photo I scrolled each in opposite directions.  The photograph used was one I took of an amazing amount of crows gathering in front of a violet sky in the 'moose days' of my quaint damn existence  I'll post that photograph up later if anybody actually reads this thing or reminds me. Thanks to the couple of people that said nice things about the video. I'm trying to fill up an hour of visuals to tie these all together. Just when you think it's all finalized, the creative force clings on even tighter. I'm sure a re-re-edit will occur in the future.I love and hate the internet so much.
Each direction is swarmed with a new idea and it's frustrating as hell and infuriating but also beautiful and damn rewarding when all efforts are transferred from ideas to something that can be experienced through human-suit senses.

What else? Paige's Dragonfly is FINALLY finished. And I really do not like blogging or cells, I'm thinking maybe I'll just continue on paper and then scan these entries in. It feels like I'm typing strictly for all those who are between moments of looking up porn on the internet or the tiny few key-wording 'psychedelic waterfall images.' Yikes.
This post will say that it is going to be edited in the future but really it won't be fine tuned at all because I'll lose interest in it or forget writing this very statement. I'll update this soon
Coming soon: Paige's Dragonfly, Why NOT to fix the economy, A mythos in song called 'The Devil's Junkmail," and an interview with a short-story antagonist who hands dead rats through his ear holes and runs for congress.
