How Deep Is Our Stack1?

two weeks ago passed over an email question that I didn't have anything for, but spontaneously yesterday or the day before while driving thoughts and second thought oh, suitable reply. left it again, until this morning

part awake, reasoning, but on premises continued from this morning's dream, different endings, film editor- a joke was putting a lavender bath robe on one of the news anchors. long solution I was proud of finding, excited by the possibilities of, was to tape on to the bottom third or fourth or so with clear packing tape a particular type of clean black debris- old headphones, for example, but slightly less literal (too many highlights, reflections) constant density of these shapes, as if scrolling, along the bottom, throughout the end section at least. one solution for all- I'm calling a 'long solution' (maybe like 'all along').
[feels a little like interests in intensity change automation (for example, cassette tape dropouts, lengthening fade outs, momentary lights dimming when the refrigerator turns on). Was playing with a Buchla 291e last night for the first time in a year or so. I think that might have been where I was driving to, to borrow a power supply]

Was reasoning like that for some time. finally other set of premises appearing over several long-thought?-moments, but I rolled on my side and open up my computer to to them. Remember being quite old, ?17,18 when I first saw clearly other peoples' morning discomforts, friend Max Seeger having to put his 'brain back together' almost every morning. a culture of that when living with his family I hadn't seen. morning newspaper etc.. I'd never thought of that!
reading morning's newsletters emails, remembered to send off the new reply, pleasure of searching through the 2 weeks backlog knowing what I was looking for

new motivation for collectors from depeche mode

desire to see a collection of SIAE stickers some corners curling up showing the fuzzy paper grain they were torn from. Fuschia logo on red bordered white, something about that! rounded corners
special way the colors together
dot matrix printing, security perforations, everything very interesting
so I'll collect records from italy..
imagination of seeing a collection of VML Live records
reminds me, in a time of listening to depeche mode 12" singles, that I formed the imagination of a will to see a collection of 12" 45s with a certain kind of kick drum mixed through them, a particular situation of clear sounds, and a complete band arising from that desire. to make a collection, say 20, the first few must be successful enough to fund the ones to follow. it's a certain kind of collection that has other copies of it's elements scattered about, but the collection itself is one of the few places where all the members are together and specially cared for. a pop band is the way to make that. (other ways?)
desire to see a cool collection of special sounds

comics music q2

around the age of 13 I bought a comic book. B&W, glossy color cover, probably self-published. bikini/pinup style cover. flat empty artwork with occasional grey ?watercolor washes. often backgroundless panels, US, weird combination of manga and architectural rendering. detailed focus on a few objects, guns, for example drawn carefully enough for the model to be identified, if I do not exaggerate my recollection. and the rest expanses of white-- in the 'plot' too. can't find a title now, the first place I ever heard the pixies.

over the carefully delineated yacht's sound system came 'drive my car into the ocean' 'I sail away on waves of mutilation'. I somehow guessed the tune correctly! well the phrase ends, at least. I don't think I got the backbeat harmony rise. I sang it to myself several times, and savored it!
occasionally I'd remember that tune I'd supposed with the words later, and if in public, once, at a party I remember clearly, in a kitchen (6, 7 years later!), I would still sing what I'd thought was the tune-- a little scared, knowing I'd made it up, but also strangely confident in my surmise. intentionally giving some uncertainty-harmonic-character to the pitches. this has become part of my voice quality. 'true voice'. still wonder what Chris Cohen heard in my voice that made him imagine a part for me in his 'invisible string'.

my mysterious conception of the tune wasn't controverted until I finally heard a recording, basically unbidden, only 3 years ago. turned loose on Discka Bob's stash for a week, I copied a few pixies shows along with a mass of other material. no metadata beyond show place and time noted on the CDs themselves. Wading through that, I've only listened to it fully once, and otherwise, a handful of times. it's a bit too precious to look at directly the tenebr

It's Not Enough true

a while ago read in Tinbergen and Kuenen 1938 "In addition, the possible formation of positive associations was avoided by continuous alteration of the stimuli. When a negative result was obtained, we always presented, as controls, stimuli known to be very effective. As we were concerned only with qualitative analysis, we did not feel it necessary to standardize the control stimulus too precisely." and remembered Abramović's Rhythm 10.
on the continuing subject of Model Numbers, I introduce into evidence a new exhibit, the names of her first 5 works: rhythms 10, 5, 2, 4, and 0.

PROFILES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ART

>Pamphlets on Games

In Legge's introduction to his translation of the I Ching he tries to make the Lo look like nothing but the 3x3 magic square. But obviously, it isn't! The numbers are differentiated into two groups, and in such a way as to suggest that they should retain that difference even when collected into sets of 3 (as the consistent sums of 15 suggest).
As shown, there's no need to stop at the given division into odd and even numbers either, others give us interesting distributions, too. Nor to select just one division, after all, Legge's flat representation contains all possible divisions superimposed.
Going from essences to recipies, tuning the distribution of rules to align ourselves with the raw material, like a generalized video vector scope that doesn't know yet what PAL or NTSC is, as it's tuned in it's demodulation and subsequent recombination, it's learning a national language. Or perhaps more like astrology, as it provides a variable basic machinery by which to demodulate the single number 'time' into essences which then we recombine, hoping to learn the national language enough to say hello, or goodbye.

looking now at balancing divisions of magic squares of eighth order. [have also recently discovered a way to treat nonweighted codes (Gray code, for example) as 'weighted' by multiplying coefficients]

Do you air-reed squeal outs on bottles like I do?
Francis Holland first showed me this years ago, then as now being I think more familiar with bottles than I. Perhaps from his wet hand descriptions I maintain an image with my squeals of a licked Egyptian eye (he'd told me it's the way a Ney sings, and somehow, I'd seen, or had pantomimed to me a harelipped ?hare-palate, wet sound Egyptian, with bore entirely in his mouth) in geometrical reduction.

At least we can still search the GoogleAnswers archive, which is all I ever did anyways, being more basically in need of questions than answers. One special request I remember, but have now misplaced, was for the name of the standard work on Chinese history. This called out a pretty snake-full of ideas on standard works generally, which I can't decide slithered only through my private imaginings or in public view.

I'd like a list of standard works.

brought up to full consciousness (not that that's that important, but it is my business here) just now, after the shower ends, and the column of water is released through the faucet I like to have the side of leg in proximity to receive the gush, since my teens. If recently connected it to the Delany's passage in The Mad Man in the Mineshaft wherein the stranger approaches and says something like "How does it feel to be in a place where anyone might just walk up and start pissing down yo leg?" and find myself looking for the direct wording when the moment approaches. And that it's a totally different interest of mine when the sound of the gush much delayed comes out of the bathroom to the bed where I'm lying having forgotten entirely about it.

is it the Mineshaft? some name like this.

And all these symmetric looking logos make me think of scottkim.com/inversions and the sorts of things he describes learning about letter shapes by working on the inversions so that he can look at a band name and say 'oh, that's a good one!'

1 screeching weasel- You Blister My Paint
Hearts are moving Up and Down,
Hearts are moving In and Out

It's June 5th, and as per Rey's invitation published here first, I visited him at People's Park.
2 Factory- Gone
told him I loved his book, and he said the next one would be better still because he'd had to cover so much in the first book that he hadn't time to get into the character's thoughts.// ///
I felt as if I was the protagonist of one of his stories coming to the park open to intrigue. I wondered then if He'd read Delany.

3 Tiger Trap- Puzzlepieces
he was happy to be able to tell people that parts of the book occurred right there in people's park.
I remembered that it was at the flea market that I told him when some guy had stolen from him, and as a present of recognition, he let me take a minor threat CD home.
{4 FYP- I Don't Want To Sit Next To You
5 Jeff Lynne- Pie In The Sky}
He was so nice to everyone who came to his booth, very open and caring, letting them bargain with him so nicely. reaching out, and turning aside people's weird probing emotional stabs, he's a master! his booth-mate repeatedly deflected Rey's operational communications , subtly trying to make him look up tight but His good nature continually won out.
6 Basic Channel- Q1.2
He told me a little about the unseen and unsuspected (see upcoming post for discussion of the NWO)
7 Legendary Pink Dots- 1001 commandments
He showed me how to wrap white sage, and talked to customer-visitors about the different kinds of sage. He was bemused about what seemed to bring sales, and asked his booth-mate about his sage sales (none that I saw), who as I said replied coldly.

I wondered as I often had before about Rey's finances. He is Jimi Hendrix returned, purged of some of the disturbing drives we hear tell of. Intelligent into private space. (he might say it's public!) Seems he funds his exploration by opining that his finds are worth the communities' funding. Once he told me he'd sell my record at his booth, and when I politely (I thought) said "OK, but you might want to hear it first, I mean you might not like it", he said No, all artists should be supported, regardless of whether he or anyone else likes it.
8 GODFLESH- Tiny Tears
9 Velocity Girl- Always
I'd like to add to my prior review: While his book is about extremely unusual matters, he himself is a very plain-speaking person.
10 Wipers- I Don't Know What I Am
I think for him also truth and otherness relate, but he's able to see that otherness as a part of himself better than any I know.
11 pixies- Caribou (live, from TenDollar-075)
oooooooo
12 jawharp recording made during the Fahnestock expedition
13 Velocity Girl- Sorry Again
14 Screeching Weasel- 53rd and 3rd
15 Screeching Weasel- I Wanna Be Naked (Demo)
16 Can't- Songbird
Rey told me that If I'm open to it my unsuspected aspects of reality may open to me
17 Depeche Mode- Any Second Now (Voices)

gold to mist. last dusk, the sidewalk took a beautiful pale green cast. a few minutes on into it Eric asked me what color my cat was and I couldn't say. He suggested blue, and reminded us of old films shot through blue filters to get a night time feeling. I mentioned the refinding of Cornell's Rose Hobart- an excited evening as
I understand it filled with projections on ceilings (a favorite mental holodeck program of mine) and floors, and through colored glass, as Cornell himself used to do. I've tried a variety of colored gels, but don't have any glass to hand as of yet

In Training

THERE IS NO OTHER VICTORY

Everyone will tell you you're wrong. As the captain, like we see Picard commanding Jake Kurland, there is only one victory.
_______________________________
for those who have seen but do not recall Picard commanding Kurland, recall now that during an episode-long probing review of his leadership ability and loyalty to, and vision of, the ideals of Starfleet, all were surprised by young Kurland's impulsive theft of a shuttle-craft to 'run away'. While the lead investigator blocks his view of the situation and continually harasses him with disparagements of his ability, Picard adresses himself to Kurland, who has lost control of the stolen shuttle and is heading for seemingly assured destruction. Picard, over the shouts of the inquisitor, commands Jake with only words through space to take the absolute wrong action in the opinion of every other sentient aware of the situation including Jake himself: to fly directly at the planet below.

PREVIEW OF NEW COMP

liner notes here

I should note here that the entire series of new comps is dedicated to Rey Freeman King, whose comps I used to buy at the Ashby flea market as a kid opened my imagination. The print versions of these come inscribed with sharpie by XYZ-plotter running font data abstracted from Rey's handwriting from those old cassettes and VHSes. He has a single stroke capital 'E' like a backwards '3'. right fashion sense

PREVIEW OF NEW COMP

NEGATIVE MAGNETIC AURA HOVERCRAFT

Freedom between

TAOIST MONARCHY

INVADE. DAMAGE. OCCUPY
ATTACK. BLOOD. REVENGE
SUPERION. COMMAND. DESTROY
TRIUMPH. GENOCIDE. ANTICHRIST
VICTORY. INTOLERANCE. MASTERY
INFILTRATION. DOWNFALL. DEATH

The hallmark is one used since 1935, the year the Normandy was launched.

I always eat with only the same one knife, no other utensils.
it's a Christofle Hotel butter knife
Christofle has outfitted the first French transatlantic ships and the great luxury ocean liners. They produced the 45k pieces needed for the running of the Normandy in art deco style. Grand Hotels of Joseph Cornell! Designed in part by Christian Fjerdingstad

I don't wash my knife, I only wipe it with the residue from each meal like blood from a sword, to a high polish.

FROM CENTRAL PERK

that's crayola.com twistables
something that used to catch my eye in comic strips when the pattern, plaid or checks or squares, on a character's clothes remained totally flat ignoring volume completely. I used to copy it, and try to do versions with and without, variations . I thought Andy Capp did it, but haven't found a good example.

Holodeck Artist

Friend Max Seeger wrote in to report that riding by Spaghetti Charlie's on his nice bike he found it looking very closed. Then we started to discuss bike geometries, fork rake especially- as it's an old favorite discussion topic of ours (we once built a while-riding-adjustable-geometry BMX bike together and one of the Cosovo-Albanians even helped drive some nails into a being-built-at- the-same time trike. I knew they weren't Armenians. The trike and BMX had a parts donor bike in common)
I imagined again a haptic feedback system supporting me in five places (hands feet and crotch), responding like a bike, but adjustable as to specifics, taking adjustment from some small virtual controls at some of the five points (Twiddlers and combined brake/shift levers always remind me of one another) in various degrees of independence from the mechanics of staying afloat.
The imagination is like the holodeck with 'programs' we return to, perhaps refining them.
[what it means, the moment Lt Reginald Barclay deletes his holodeck programs. I watch him blended with Michael's Jugend]
I posit a program- all black ( nearly. that is, to explore varieties of indistinctness, darkness without form/ gravitation), describing the 5 supports.

I last saw a Rodger Dean monograph at Central Perk where I used to use http://www.crayola.com/coloring_application/index.cfm.
Thinking about owning a green station wagon reminded me of the coral reef like public seating installation I saw in his book Views as a kid.

they have shaped me so much

SPINDLARNAS RIKE !!!!

rolling eyes at dark energy, avoid identification

William Sabiston kindly took me to John Hawk's class a few weeks ago, where he read the synopses off the backs of a couple PBS astronomy VHS cassettes so we could all pick which one to watch. One mentioned Dark Energy, which Hawk was understandably dismissive of, and John Dobson, who's mention prompted a little story about attending one of his telescope building classes at a Berkeley Vedanta temple. He did not mention Dobson's own Dark-Matter-and-Energy-free cosmology, which supposes that as particles approach the edge of the universe, our prediction of their velocity tends towards certainty, that by the uncertainty principal their positions become radically uncertain, allowing them to be no longer at the edge, but anywhere within the universe. [starts avoid identification]

reminds of the drawings the theosophical society clairvoyants made during their subatomic investigations

William mentioned had just come back from Mt Tam and Hawk said something about the last time he'd been there. Talking about looking down from there, a small conflict of spatial models revealed. Hawk naturally orienting himself to absolute directions even inside the video lab with no windows and a convoluted entrance hall, to answer the question. I, and it seemed to me William, following but at a distance of calculation on conjecture, imagining the turns walking out of the building and then looking around. [were we the only three there to have been up Mt Tam?]

and again, during a recap of last class talk about which direction the earth turns, Hawk looked up and around, oriented himself and his pointing firger to what I assume to be north, and only then with his other hand described the motion of the surface about the pointing finger. William and I , along with a few others did the same with our hands, but I don't recall who oriented themselves in the same way. Reminds of some experiments on gender correlated preference for absolute vs relative spatial orientation played out in the windowless basement of Tolman Hall. Back then I heard men use absolute navigation and women relative; it was in the newspaper
psychology.berkeley.edu/resources/EvacDiagrams.pdf
(anechoic chamber pending dismantlement in B50F I think)

[and what was the difference between those that copied Hawk's hands and those that didn't? reminds of a class of Andrea diSessa where he described a public trasportation system consisting of a 100 mile high wheel rolling along very quickly (like a revolution in 3 minutes or something), with seats all along the edge. Asking us to imagine that as the wheel passed us waiting on the platform, the instantaneous zero velocity when our seat touched down cycloid style, getting on, and having a chance to get off every 100π miles (Berkeley to CalArts in 3 hair raising minutes! I am not making this up!-- at the time I didn't know what was a little over 314 miles away or any other information of that type which I now do and question.).. all classmates had private imaginings and then we tried talking about it which was as usual in that class totally disappointing. finally, to seal our fate a kid next to me said something like "it's completely out of our experience to be on a giant spinning object so big we can't detect the curve of it [I had already read Borges by then and thought of him] and spinning so astoundingly fast." I almost laughed out loud that this same person would glibly be able to recite that same with opposite meaning if asked about the earth's motions that second. as it was I said nothing and nothing happened, and I think nothing would have happened even if I had said something.]

so: orientation variety, spatial constructs, isolation, nonidentification

This isn't actually of the series we watched but something I think about from time to time:

I never saw any rough shit, but I know now.
FUCK THAT SHIT

my ex- and very favorite neighbor Robert Eschellmann (?sp) used to do some of that work. and laughed about it disgustingly, but also I think disgustedly. I never knew why he quit, but I thought so. He who turned me on to Solzhenitsyn (and so much else) ought to have known right?]

TBA celebration post #6

Stopped by the Junket on yesterday's manic flow, where I only get AERO or EKU 28, depending. Got their last 3 bottles, and their distributor doesn't have more. I poured EKU 28 which I may not see again into the magic Canberra tankard who absorbed the first information it's had besides dust in 15? years overnight. The Junket like the Cheese Board.coop also has a cheese scrap box. Was hoping for Gruyère having discovered that combination years ago, but got 2x Jarlsberg and 2x NORD Gut Kräuter 45% Fetti. Tr. 25g instead. Jarlsberg, EKU 28, toast & marmalade.

Fuck J B this is Rey King !!

Rey King sent me a review copy of his new book months ago.
It is fantastic.

He posted to his [electricchurch] yahoo group:
I attended the Pagan festival in Berkeley last week. It was fascinating and the music was great. I actually sold more books there than at the Anarchist convention and the Peoples Park celebration combined. Next: Berkeley world music festival Saturday, June 5th @ Peoples Park, Berkeley, Ca. 12 noon to 6pm. Go to my booth and mention this message and you will get a free copy of my new graphic novel featuring the new adventures of Jimi Hendrix! (donations accepted)

Well, I read it and it's truer than you might imagine at first to call them the new adventures of Jimi Hendrix. I think Rey King is Jimi Hendrix except he doesn't play guitar. Everything you know about Jimi but simultaneously magnified and diminished because you never really knew him.

Regarding Rey at the Pagan festival-- he's contributed several beautiful illustrations to various Pagan Tongue publications. He's not in every issue I've been able to find, but spread around enough to give me the impression that he was present. And that present is in his new book too.

I won't even tell you what his book is called- figure it out. Fight and Learn! Pagans have been the fastest growing religious community within the US Armed Forces forever

Meat and Time

Meat is murder. Fake meat is also founded on murder, but at a distance you can't do anything about. Someone once killed and ate, killed to eat, for the fake meat to exist. Does this prove our unproved conceptions of history and time?

"The young man, smiling mysteriously, dropped something into Robert's hand. Robert looked. It was a dog whistle.
'Good afternoon,' the young man said again to a well-dressed businessman behind Robert, handing him an English penny. He gave the next person a flat balloon. A woman wrapped in furs got a small dead fish." (from Lisa Goldstein's The Dream Years)

Yesterday, Will Sherwin, making an example said something like "when you're a kid and there's a game where you turn over some cups, and each one has something different underneath, like a plastic centipede, and a little mirror, and another one will be a prism."

I used to write down the numbers different people used to mean A LOT, like John Dietrich almost always uses 47. He'll say something like "they had literally like 47 thousand different flavors! I shit you not." or 4 and 7 in some other combinations

Mike Grost says 4 and 7 along with 1 and 9, because of their written representations' strong vertical strokes are used on the costumes of fictional heroes and sports stars. here's something from his Election Day Mystery: "Paul's uniform, like those of the other community policemen, had huge Sergeant's stripes on its sleeve. His name tag read 'Sgt. Henderson'. His badge number was 7194. All the badge numbers were made up of four digit combinations of 1, 4, 7, and 9. There were 256 such combinations, more than enough for the community police. The badges were made of a metal alloy with unusually high reflectivity. Any light shining on them would glitter and glow. So would the insignia on his uniform collar and shoulder epaulets, and the large silver flashlight Paul wore in his belt. Paul was always glittering like a hero in the movies."

While roasting peppers at Will Sherwin's last night I asked him how the professionals do it. "with a blowtorch." and what else do they use it for? "crème brûlée". You learn that stuff on TV, I said.
and said I should get back into it, dedicate time to undedicated, defocussed wide angle information scan so I can learn more of these things I like to know.

title image: right now looking at it reminds me of marvel's Havok. I looked him up, and found most of the images not nearly as cool as I remember (from a single comic that made it's way through a very wide angle comics dump from a serious collector acquaintance to me who knew nothing about the mainstream DC/Marvel world. for something like $30 (significant at the time!) a barely-moveable-by-me cardboard box (or 2?) of comics! (would like to label possesions by how far I can move them unassisted. then figure out the same for combinations. seems obvious they have different combining properties. like periodic table of my possesions) Just a few weeks ago Eben came over for some MIDI help, and my cat visited us in the shed where we were trying this and that. was only peripherally aware of what she was doing, and then suddenly an explosion of cat and comic books from the ceiling right towards us. she walked off unphased, and I can't remember how soon I started laughing. I'll ask Eben for a narration too, and paste it here if he gives me one. it was of course the same box of comics. I never cleaned up the explosion, I wonder where Havok is now?) ..ah, I see the original costume is the one I'm thinking of. just found this that Neal Adams the costume's designer says about it:

"It was like a mime who moves around -- you look at the silhouette of the body, you don't look at the interior of the body. It seemed to me thatthat would be a great idea for a costume -- the idea of doing a silhouette like that and then doing the energy. So if you speculate on the idea, you can say the costume isn't really a costume; it's a kind of energy container through which you can actually see the energy inside of his body. So many guys draw Havok with this thing on his chest and that's not the idea; you're supposed to be able to see in the middle of his chest the energy no matter where he turns.
Tom Palmer, in order to help me out and delineate the drawing, added highlights to Havok's costume. I explained to him, "Tom, I've draw the character in such a way that you can tell what he's doing in every silhouette-- you don't have to worry about it; remove the highlights." While there are positions you could put such a character in so that you would need highlights, I made it my business when I did Havok not to put the character in those positions. If you limit yourself to certain positions, you would never have a problem; the audience never loses track of it and they get it every time."
I'll have to find that comic!!

I wasn't concious of thinking of Havok when I was drawing the title. rather all the stuff we know that we don't know we know- like from TV. those of are the kinds of questions I like to ask Lyal, as I belive I've posted here before. and other people too, but somehow I think of him as a genius of it. He and I recently talked about our once local Warehouse, and I bet he could tell about the poster racks that I think were there if I asked him to, which I plan to.
