David Winters, dir. | RAQUEL! | 1970
Filmed in Acapulco, London, ,Mexico City, Paris, and Sun Valley, Idaho, USA! RAQUEL! is a 1970 made-for-TV variety special where Raquel skis in slo-mo soft power, sings with Tom Jones, does “numbers” with Bob Hope and John Wayne, and dances around the 1968 Mexico City Olympic park in a space-age-of-aquarius costume designed by Bob Mackie!
David Moe | Plug in the Electric Dictionary | The Community Press | 1973
“HOMEINGsplit it’s you circuits socrates golding fat take off next necks space
eggs built dostoevsky’s nostril SEEING CONSCIOUS solar sidereal thrill
twoways glaze pats increasing secrets be ouiji…”

the deck of the boat
as they are under the water.”

a weather breath resurrects”

“There is a dirty hole
There is something about to be
planted”

“So rapidly had these events passed, that we could scarcely believe in their reality, and were standing over the bodies of the dead in a species of stupid contemplation, when we were brought to recollection by the sound of shouts in the distance.”
Larry Eigner | another time in fragments | Fulcrum | 1967
“birds
are apples
an upward ground
the gray bark
spring direction”
D.C.A. Hillman | The Chemical Muse: Drug Use and the Roots of Western Civilization | Thomas Dunne | 2008
“In writing The Chemical Muse, I wanted to show that recreational drugs were an integral aspect of the same societies that gave us valuable concepts like democracy and the scientific method. I wanted the modern West to see that its founding fathers were drug users, plain and simple; they grew the stuff, they sold the stuff, and most important, used the stuff.”
The Chemical Muse is an expanded version of a chapter in the author’s dissertation, a chapter that the Classics faculty required he remove in order to pass his dissertation exam! Academic Revenge!
Kevin Varrone | g-point almanac: passyunk lost | Ugly Duckling | 2010
“I felt what you felt: a ball in space
a great astrofuge.
I felt blue & white or wonder.”
Paul Nelson | A Time Before Slaughter | Apprentice House | 2010
Paul Nelson’s Patersonesque telling of the story of Auburn, Wa. (formerly Slaughter).
“Slaughter is the rush of Stuck through rocks on a rainy August F r i d a y.”
Gaslamp Killer | All Killer. Finders Keepers Records 1-20 Mixed By The Gaslamp Killer | Twisted Nerve | 2009
Fantastic mix of retro-international-psych-rock sounds (Turkey / India / Pakistan) with lo-profile beats to string it all together. Fun, wonderful and surprising and every turn.
Example: Track 3 contains sounds from the following: Mustafa Özkent – Zeytinyagi (Fkr010) / Susan Christie – Europa (Poetry) (Fkr018) / Jir’ Slitr & Jir’ Sust- Sugar Stealers / Man With A Typewriter (Fkr013)
