Well, it's time to justify having a blog again....

So, I'm just dropping a quick "hi" to pacify the blogger masses. I suppose too much has gone on to explain in detail here, especially since I don't have the time. So here are the highlights:

This year I'm helping plan NCOR, the National Conference on Organized Resistance.
Or, as it's trying to rename itself right now:
NCRO, The National Conference Resisting Organization (instance 1: shoot me!)

I am also working with the same group I did last year, in theatre. I suppose I should call it "my group" as we are like minded colleges who formed our own "company." I also suppose I should not call it a "theatre company," as right out of the box, we have transcended that concept. Our first project for the season, is going to be a very interesting photo installation. We are each evolving our own concept for the piece, and when mine got done someone kept using the word "drone" to describe it. The group also looked like they'd just been told that their entire family had been burned to death in a terrible accident. Perfect.......And yes, we have no name.

I'm also trying to learn Spanish. I cannot hear, and it occurs to me that one cannot learn a language without that trait. Most of my tutoring at this point has been comprised of reading complex political arguments, picking out the words that look familiar, and then trying to explain what the article is about. (instance 2: shoot me) At this point, I am either going to have *HUGE* "aha," or a tear-riddled-breakdown.

I am still walking the walk, talking the talk, and sticking it to the man.

Music, music, music, music

Here is the smallest synopsis that I can muster:

Baltimore gutter is amazing. Big hearts Aaron LaCrate.
I cannot stop listening to amazing dj mixes featuring lot's of gun cock and firing effects, and guest tracks by Roxy Cottontail.

Black Boned Angel-Eternal Love/Eternal Hunger, is the best drone album I have heard in a long time. It's so immediate, yet ambient, and viscerally responsive.

L'Acephale is absolutely amazing. I have Mord und Totschlag, and I cannot stop listening to it. It's an incredibly well crafted combination of experimental and true kvlt. I cannot stop, it is so good.

I actually like the new Xasthur album. It is looooooooong, it is aaaaaaammmmmbient. And in a certain mind set, I would cry if I had to listen to this, but as it is, Defective Epitaph and I are in the same place.

I also got the newest Caacrinolas album, Vargtimmen, and likewise I cannot stop listening to it. It's got such a perfect, minimal, eerie, and clinical sound. Rather like an alien operation, full of strange language and tools, only you are the unwilling patient. fantastic.

Finally, fuck a bunch of love life, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, repeat, repeat, repeat, ad nauseum........ (instance 3: shoot me)

well, this could be a whole book if I went into more detail with any of these. Who knows, maybe I will later. In the meantime, keep listening to Weakling, Dead as Dreams
