Thee Water Mocassins

Rarely do I end up loving much local music, some of it is great, sure, yet most of it is insincere, mediocre and rote beyond belief. However, these guys fucking kill me … Thee Water Moccasins – Live at the Czar Bar filmed on 07-11-09 in HD My favorite cuts: “In the City”, “In Bed” and “Demons” … but [...]

Tome of a Heretofore Unknown Personage

voltairiansurrealist@gmail.com (Jonathan Douglas Duran) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:52:31 +0000

Tome of a Heretofore Unknown Personage – by Bardolph, Baronis and Telling. I began this review long ago in a completely different vein, a more commonplace and recognized style of ‘review’, yet my mercurial temperament got the better of me and I decided to throw those virtual letters to the virtual wind and begin again. Yet [...]

Verbal Unravel

Verbal Unravel : (a timed, ten minute free-association exercise in exorcism) Antiseptic spittle has been sprayed into my eyes from the mouths of pretentious preachers bellowing on high. Standing behind an alter inside a larger alter resting on the largest alter we’ve yet to encounter. Be forewarned before you worry about being warned: Our team of [...]

Linguistic lovers unite!

http://www.savethewords.org/ Save The Words Is a fantastic website which has been set up to help conserve the English language. You can ‘adopt’ a word and pledge to, at least semi-frequently, use that word, to cultivate it and never present affictitious definitions of it, but rather to ejurate the slanderously false definitions others assert of said [...]

New Year’s Leavings

Around again, familiar faces (of my own) staring vacant and soulless. Insulted by self inflicted insubordination, semantic irrationalities; malignant, yet spry. Insert date and time. It is difficult, summoning the strength to continually attempt circumventing these attractive and petite circles of hell I’ve designed for myself. Helplessly dramatic excesses press against my face, the heavy, sweaty, smothering [...]

Numerous false tragedies

Numerous false tragedies (which always manage to last longer and remain more powerful than the true ones to him) line the shelves which surround him… (‘Yes!’ I shout in tongues, spitting and heaving) He is just as dead and stiff as the inanimate tomes he drowns himself inside, buried in a premature tomb of words and ideas [...]

musings on a seemingly sane(r) republic

voltairiansurrealist@gmail.com (Jonathan Douglas Duran) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:19:47 +0000

Congratulations America; this seems like the first baby-step towards a more tolerant future. I’m proud for the first time in a long while, because not only was the majority of the popular vote firmly entrenched in the Obama camp, but so was that antiquated spectre of anti-democracy; the Electorate College. We now have the [...]
