Towers Open Fire


From imdb:
comment on Towers Open Fire:
Quote:
The first time I saw this experimental short, it was on a video cassette along with some of Burroughs other shorts called 'Thee Films', produced by Genesis P-Orridge. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057597/usercomments


Genesis P-Orridge is someone Ray Johnson, Jeremy Blake and Ian Svenonius would really enjoy.

From wiki:
Quote:
...In 1971, [Genesis] P-Orridge met William S. Burroughs after a brief correspondence....

P-Orridge dropped out of the University of Hull in 1969 and... formed a prankster collective...

[Speaking about late partner Lady Jaye:]
we were so crazy in love, just wanting to eat each other up, to become each other and become one. And as we did that, we started to see that it was affecting us in ways that we didn't expect. Really, we were just two parts of one whole.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_P-Orridge


Message on Lady Jaye's tombstone:
S/HE IS (STILL) HER/E
http://genesisp-orridge.com/in-memoriam/

A book of P-Orridge's art includes "early Mail Art."
http://genesisp-orridge.com/2009/08/411/30-years-of-being-cut-up/

P-Orridge lives in New York City.

I was going for witty and erudite.

I've heard your dog barking, Theresa. Keeps me up at night.

 		Oh yes---

Ian Svenonius and Genesis P:

Some one once told me that a suicide watch for Ian was as much to witness a suicide as to prevent one.

But you've got to love that oh-so-ironic sweater vest and brass-buttoned blazer...

 		Oh, and I forgot one last charming detail from the audio of Matheny discussing 4p/Process:

He calls his interviewer a "Two Percenter"

For those who don't know (and I didn't...thought it might have something to do with milk, I'm a skim milk girl myself), a Two Percenter is the percentage of humanity that Matheny believes is on a "mutational curve" WORTHY (his word, not mine) of surviving any catastrophic environmental change.

Unlike the remain 98% who will "walk off the edge of the cliff" and won't be able to adapt.

Seems to me, based on that interview, that the 2% of humanity Matheny deems worthy of survival are those who are willing to--well, I'll be polite, and say that one's admiration of JM has a lot to do with your chances.

 		Well, we can ignore Matheny for now....my only interest in him was if this was his project then it gives us some insight into how it is constructed.

If he is not involved then, well, it is odd really that you are spending so much time on him. I brought him up primarily because the construction of el centro he described sounded a lot like what I thought was going on here.

It's a good thing he doesn't take suicide watches seriously, considering what a shitty job he did with his friend Jeremy's.

 		"I made my first suicide attempt when I was 12. I had fallen in love with a homosexual and when it didn't work out, I felt hurt. [...] A bottle of aspirin, a bottle of sleeping pills, and a bottle of gin. I was sure that would do the trick, but Mama came in and found me. I was in a coma for a long time and I lost my hearing, my vision and several other things. When I recovered, I decided that I should try to get some help, but Mama didn't think I needed analysis."

hmmmmm......

I recommend Children's Tylenol--much smoother, more dependable

4 hours and BAM! Instant rigor-mortis! No Waiting!

No stars here. The others have combinations of one star from the Pleiades and one from Ursa Major. Seven sisters, seven major stars in Ursa Major. Some occult stuff about seven rays from the Pleiades to Ursa Major to Sirius, to Sun, to Earth, to Seven Masters. I could not find a version of the colors of the rays that included mauve...so no luck there.

 		Compare and contrast:

1. From Wit of the Staircase, Feb. 5, 2007

Quote:
Then a dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear. The sound was taken up by another dog, and then another and another, till, borne on the wind which now sighed softly through the Pass, a wild howling began, which seemed to come from all over the country, as far as the imagination could grasp it through the gloom of the night.

--Bram Stoker, Dracula

...now we too suddenly can't help but hear the encrypted murmur of the murderous as it rides the nighttime wind. Draw close and listen to what we have heard. I shudder to utter, children, but this terrible whisper wafted our way wields the words "Stop me before I kill again."


2. From The Ultimate Evil, Maury Terry, p523
Quote:
Sometimes, late at night, one can know the truth of their words. Through the darkness, a foreboding wail can be heard. Faintly at first, then more insistent and nearer, the reverberations ring through urban canyons, roll across the shadowed byways of Scarsdale and Bel Air, and are carried on the night wind to the remote reaches of rural countrysides. It is a mournful, curdling cry. It is the sound of America screaming. (TUE 523)

Yes, Jandek is a fascinating topic. Anyone heard of him before?
