'It's Past Your Pastime' by Jay Passer + "Throbbing Gristle - Live in San Francisco - Kezar Pavillon (29 May 1981)"

IT'S PAST YOUR PASTIME.

One after the other they come to bat
Wearing pinstripes and sneers
And face the animals and mobs
They look tragic behind bars
Wearing the latest in felony orange
Cleats attached to the heels with bolts
Blood white with amphetamine charm
They take strikes in the chin and temple
For the team the mascot the principal ownership
For the chaw in the ass of the mouth
They take down forests and siphon lakes
The smoking ruin of neighborhoods
On a roller-coaster ride from some lost paradise
Peanuts pelted from the tear ducts of stars
They stand grinning bulls in the dugout corrida
Capes glistening crimson and smelter of dark heavens
They take their swings and connect with flight
Patterns destined for the pit of the spirit
Retired from the game they buy car dealerships
Sheriff departments and seats in Congress
A merry band of pranksters playing an innocent game for boys
One by one enshrined in a Hall of Fame noteworthy
For bloodstains tainting uniform sweatshop notoriety
A called homerun a campaign promise a hot dog
A brand of shoes a tattooed endorsement a liver transplant
One after the other they reach for the fences
Their jerseys are spotless for the first pitch of the game
While one out of three is a commendable average

'Asylum' by Ascidian Sean Kambeck + 'Stranded In Canton' by William Eggleston (1973)




Ascidian Sean Kambeck 



"Ascidian Sean Kambeck is a Melbourne based artist, theorist & writer; exploring the relationships between “high art”, the poetics of space, despair, eternity, psychedelic substance & culture and the collapse of modernity, whilst always waving at the status quo ante and definition of being 'free'. His works seek to evoke a space beyond the now- to gain some sense of freedom beyond formulaic constructions. This is not to say he believes art need be hopelessly utopian and painfully self-conscious but can provide, in part, a sharp critique of the underside of human experience and the need to transcend it. For the past 30 years Adrian has worked through various mediums including drawing, text based art, painting, sculpture, installation, sound & video art. Adrian’s works are held in various private collections throughout Australia..."

"Unrequited - Hausfrau Dub Mix" by Michael Hier + "Hubert Selby Jr - It Will Be Better Tomorrow "

Originally posted back in July as the unrequited (extended chopped and screwed dub remix).

"I can't the sphere of fixed stars
the man says
poet Gysin fortune cookie diseased system and scrape it clean
I've walked this
still,
to noise
signal to it like you stole it
fishtailing
this is a right words
now, ride

the text is lamentations, self-flagellation"


Michael Hier has now submitted as a sound poetry piece:

Unrequited - Hausfrau Dub Mix by Queen Vic Knives

"Michael Hier lives with his wife, son, and two black cats. He writes occassionaly..."

"R. Mutt - GIVE UP ART AND GET A FUCKING JOB" by Ascidian Sean Kambeck + "Marcel DUCHAMP- Anémic Cinéma, 1925 "

was thinking about the name inscribed on Duchamp's urinal, not sure if this has been noticed...


GIVE UP ART AND GET A FUCKING JOB
R.Mutt
Richard Mutt
Dick Mutt
dick ttuM
dictum

dictum
formal saying, pronouncement; (law) judge's of opinion not having legal validity;
= legal maxim/current saying

Richard is shortened
dick is shortened

Mutt is reversed
tum is reversed

reversed tum (tummy), like starvation

like Buridan's ass:
As one tempted by the one as the other,
dying of starvation.

Also, tum
an enlarged and muscular saclike organ of the alimentary canal; the principal organ of digestion

above reversed = so not digesting. so full of shit. filling up and making shit. shit maker.
(an empty, unable, yet still trying to work.)

dick shortened = artist's ego chopped off, or lowered, deflated.

but these reversed in on themselves, (as in, Richard shortened, not dick, and Mutt reversed, not tum), so indifference, or absence, or absent presence

pin pricks in space

or, as it seems to suggest, something else more elusive
...if one keeps looking in this invisible space, which is unavoidable, as it is placed there

Richard shortened, is called a disagreeable person(an idiot), or a detective (critic??) or looking for parallel(eternal) clues, towards a solitary answer...

(if dick is reversed, becomes kid, as in, child or young person, or to joke, jest, the fool, banter...

a mutt in the mirror(reversed), as in, stupid or foolish person, becomes wise or intelligent

or, if a dog of mixed breed or intermediate breed, lack of particular, individual self(single), the artist,
becomes self, human.

(if dog is reversed, becomes God)
