Who wants to go to Bumbershoot or possibly Lollapolooza with me?
Has anyone else seen Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome? It's like this bizarre, acid-drenched kabuki (somehow related to Coleridge I suppose?) that makes me think of a college kid that loves his Luis Brunel. Weird shit, man.
Yar. I really wish I had a webcam. Then I could shoot rabbits, an' shit. Even the little illiterate rabbits with a vague sense of proportion with the rise of western gentrification...
Duh nuh nuh... oh, reading the NY Times all of the time... looking out for any news... luckily, no news is good news. Am I right, kids? Media supression makes a chewy salve of ignorance! woot!
44 days 'til he's back in the States. Sigh. Worry worry. I had a long extended angsty cry session yesterday, but I feel that that was a pretty good expelling of rough, cathartic energy. And now I'm ready to re-focus myself.
I ought to get out into the city more this summer. This is my first Portland summer and I really need to experience it. There are some wonderful resources here, but I'm a complete pussy about pursuing them...
Current reading is Altered State, a book about the rise of ecstasy culture/acid house in early 90's Britain. Well, at least on acid house... I think it's hard to find a book that really is able to focus on ecstasy culture without a heavy heavy dosage of coverage of the simultaneous rise of acid/house music, but... does it always have to read as if it were written as a super-extended article for MOJO or Q? "MDMA -- Top 20 Hits over the Past 20 Years" or somesuch. It ought to have a CD enclosed!
No, seriously folks, music journalism ain't that fun. Meh.
My journal hasn't been that funny for a while. I wonder why. Are my serotonin levels dangerously low or am I lacking nitrates or is there a little humor gnome with a fuzzy hat that lives in my pillow and SUCKS GENTLY FROM MY PITUITARY GLAND when I sleep... ick. All of those are thoroughly discouraging ideas!

Alas, ecstasy and the raver movement are forever intertwined, like LSD and the hippie movement, though they [drugs and music] weren't necessarily dependent on each other.
did that make sense? damn I'm tired. heh.
