William Bronk poetry reading, Harvard (1956).

Jackamo Brown - Schwredder In My Veins (Kettenkarussell Dub).

Some time ago I was amazed to find out that my favourite minimal techno duo Kettenkarussell had listened to, and enjoyed, my music on myspace. I was even more amazed, and honoured, to discover they had done a remix of my early recording of my song, "Dust In My Veins". 

Haven't shared it till now.

"During the time of our experiment, I discovered that I liked to eat the legs and breasts of women, for as in other animals, these parts are delicacies. I also savored young women's breaded ribs. Best of all, however, I relished women's brains in vinaigrette."

-Diego Rivera

William Hazlitt - The Pleasure of Hating

‎"Friend donkey," he said as they went along, "you, verily, go running after a bunch of thistles, the meagre fare with which I have provided you; but you leave behind the lovely road that is filled with all kinds of most delicate herbs. And thus do all men, scenting out, some of them, the bouquet called Fame which Fortune puts under their nose, others the bouquet of Gain, and yet others the bouquet that is called Love. But at the end of the journey they discover, like you, that they have been pursuing things that are of little account, and that they have left behind all that is worth anything"

- Charles de Coster (The Legend of the Glorious Adventures of Tyl Ulenspiegel in the Land of Flanders and Elsewhere)

The Robert Shaw Chorale - That Lonesome Valley.

I open it in lamplight,
the yellowed book smells of grass and mould.

I skim the pages, a rain-like sound is born
and a thin wind passes from page to page

and over the battlefield.
The smoke of cartridges disperses like dandelion fluff.

Din; silence. Many horses roam
and horseless men. Through shutters

country sounds and smells. Swallows' shrill cry.
Fennel, and cow parsley. Poppy, dandelion fluff

and on the pages of the book, wisps from cartridges.
The soft ring of the lamp encloses the battlefield.

“Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Like the crowd greeting the gladiator. Don’t stop to think, don’t interrupt the scream, exhale, release life’s rapture. Everything is blooming. Everything is flying. Everything is screaming, choking on its screams. Laughter. Running. Let-down hair. That is all there is to life.”

- Vladimir Nabokov

Painting: Lawrence Alma Tadema - "Exhausted Maenads after the Dance" (1874)

"His mind was so filled with fights, adventures, enchantments, and other wonderful things which he had read about, that his fancy easily changed everything he saw into something that he wished to see." 

- Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote, Chap. 18)
