ANNIE, DREAMBOAT

.. anthropology of finitude, of “Approaching Darkness Fish, vs .. a psychology of *needs* [subjective].

HOP ON BOARD
.. some relaxing confluence of Arthur Penn’s Four Friends, the Red Green Show, + the frankly obnoxious Listen Up Philip (2014). and right when the tin targets flop over to tunes of Silver Jews, of Portastatic, the BIG REVEAL : you’re in the Tunnel of [polite Canadian rendering of] Absalom, Absalom!

Stahship’s own personal ‘Temperance’ card, one-or-five toes dipt in Commerce [1974]). suffice to say, packing a hardback in my *one bloo bag* isn’t a viable option ..

DIVIDING THE KOROVAI

.. Erin has described beautiful [this area] as “where Shadyside, Bloomfield, and Friendship come together” : I like it a lot !

SO MANY SONGS !
.. i can only speak of *fragments* of my time here / this is more or less a supplement to a slice of time best captured by Erin Herself , but Now - and in the coming days - i will be chiming in with the here and there: ‘A Part of Western PA Therein’ !

IT LOOKED FOR THE WORLD LIKE SOME SEKRIT ROSICRUCIAN FETISH, but - alas - the exclamation was far zimpler!

* The gilded-age banker and industrialist Emil Winter was strolling through a cemetery in the Bronx when he came across the Woolworth family mausoleum, a stunning and opulent example of Egyptian Revival architecture designed by lauded architect John Russell Pope (who later designed the Jefferson Memorial). Evidently, Winter took a liking to the tomb — flanked by striking sphinxes and guarded by a pharaoh and two subjects rendered in solid bronze — so he decided to have one built in his native Pittsburgh. *

I SHOULD ADD HERE
.. that Erin is a discerning curator of “strange spars of knowledge” : she is an ambulatory - sometimes seated - Fascination Zone / i consult my notes after speaking with her and have been known to DISAPPEAR.

* In late 2023, Roderick detailed his experiences during and after the Bean Dad controversy on the Labyrinths podcast hosted by Amanda Knox.[37]

.. which brings us to the monument(?) itself, located in the sprawling, PITTSBURGH-hilly Allegheny Cemetery: a trooly remarkable place (for the cemetery *connoisseur*). let’s just say that the act of Finding it was like looking for a T*tty Sph*nx inna haystack, ah do declare / .. but we soldiered on and were richly rewarded (Erin brought CAKE / her bday just a week before). for kids like us it was an “Everest” moment .. but with oxygen and stuff, hey !

IS IT LEGAL
.. to serve Uzbek horse sausage in the U.S.A.? Hila says No, but I am sometimes put at a Loss by her array of thoughts/memories (Gregg Allman, yes / Art Garfunkel, “I would prefer not to,” etc). .. on the other hand, she saved me $$$ on my vacation by hooking me up with a Camry Hybrid, hey !

[* which was the last place I saw my RED NOTEBOOK / perhaps the otherwise *helpful* Zlata Morpurgo saw it herself, nyes?]

JABO ENTERS MELODYLAND ..
* Four of the Apocalypse (1975) is a Spaghetti Western directed by Lucio Fulci about four petty criminals—a gambler, a pregnant prostitute, a drunk, and a man who talks to the dead—who are pursued by a sadistic bandit named Chaco through the Utah wilderness after surviving a massacre.

REALLY?
.. is that what happened? a hajduk shoots all the pelicans in the desert. Peter Sellers’ widow + Michael J. Pollard are banned from th’ Mall after punching a dwarf. a cow gives birth to a baby elephant and clouds of dust rise over the ocean (Let Us Pray ..):

“ just like Billy Mundi
in Tim Buckley’s backup band !”

SCENE OF
.. author Rosemary Tantra Bensko asking, “what’s the most fun you’ve had lately?” WELL, you’ve *heard* some things, so i wisht to focus on some - thus far - Unorganized Experience, hey [let’s lissen IN ..]

* that’s a trooly interesting question !

.. went to visit a friend in Pixburgh (aka “the Eastern Europe of Northern Appalachia !”) / she told me about a Throwing Muses show somewhere between the city limits and Cranberry Township ‘cause she knew I was a fan, albeit a fan who had never managed to see Kristin Hersh in any of her formations / .. and I think she was *amused* watching me have my Beatlemania moment, moving back an’ forth from chair to front-of-stage, depending on the “vibe.” it TICKLED THE FIRE out of me that this was no Nostalgia trip / there was an old song or two that I recognized, but it really didn’t matter : her new stuff - for ME, the listening viewer - is as *vital* as what she was doing back in her teens !

* The evidence is the first indication that Israel has used cluster munitions in nearly two decades since it employed them in the 2006 Lebanon war. It would also be the first time that Israel was known to have used the two new types of cluster munitions found – the 155mm M999 Barak Eitan and 227mm Ra’am Eitan guided missiles.

Cluster munitions are container bombs which release many smaller submunitions, small “bomblets”, over a wide area the size of several football fields. The use of cluster munitions is widely banned as up to 40% of submunitions do not explode upon impact, posing a danger to civilians who might later stumble upon them and be killed when they explode.

.. Wednesday of organization saw us moving thoo the Liberty Tunnel .. but I missed my turn, so we were rerouted onto The Above, following a set of (in use) trolley tracks. first stop the heavy metal pinball coffee shop. I ain’t gonna lie, but I was *astrally projecting* (Espresso latte with dark chocolate, chili, and cinnamon served shaken with ice & cream ..). Erin had heard about the pinball selection / she was keen to go full-tilt boogie on the Elvira machine (* Cassandra Peterson : a Midwesterner determined to make it in California ..) :

“ playing pool is cool / but I like pinball best !“

remember a John Lilly novel, maybe involving dolphins .. or floatation tanks .. or heroic doses. the Subject is astonished by a waking dream state / the, um, [holy] mountain has come to Ahmet : the mind beside itself. .. but, alas, the translation .. from "Upstairs" to a - well - lower octane, more banausic world is Incomplete. [SCENE OF ,, Brillobox : high on the wall-mounted screen was DAISIES (of which 1967's non.czech Smashing Time was pale shadow of ).

we can rattle off facts (and their attendant Avenues), but Erin (now of Pittsburgh) carries her own atmosphere .. with its own [startling, full spectrum] displays (strontium yields deep reds; copper produces blues; and sodium citrate yields a smoother, more even melting ..)

acts of rebellion (Ela Minus, 2020)

.. Erin has a review copy of whatever EM is doing *now*, but this recording will more than suffice. my .. "catching up" has been - how you say? - a bit tardy? i mean, the only thing from the 21st c. i've had in the player has been, eh, a couple by TORRES / otherwise we're talking early-80s (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) and 70s (Millie Jackson's Caught Up and, oo.wee, Bruce Cockburn's Night Vision*).

* a Canadian Artist i've been more-than indifferent to my whole an' en.tire life. on my way to th' Metro after leaving Capitol Hill Books i noticed book-racks of Used from a street-seller. picked up S.R. Delany's TRITON (1976), something i would've never read inna million years (despite Dhalgren being on my Top 10, easy ..). not a "great" novel, but a Strange one / as if the Author was pitching to English Departments in the 1990s. anyway, he has characters on another planet's moon singing these B. Cockburn songs from 1973. i was intrigued certainly (turns out Cockburn mentioned a Delany short story in the liner notes to Night Vision / the sheer Wonder is that Delany's repayment is as natural to the narrative as anything else in it .. all of which i'm still puzzling over. probably the most *memorable* thing i read in twenny-four).

Meanwhile @ a lonely airstrip in Van Nuys

.. Hughes hires UCLA’s top meteorologist (played by Ian Holm with a non-descript, non-Italian accent) to *generate clouds* (‘Wilhelm Reich, white courtesy telephone please ..’) that look like jugs brimming with milk (‘Abby Shapiro, white courtesy telephone please !’).

1935: Hughes crash-lands into a sea of Belgian endive.
Culture Shock : Hughes brunches with a pack of Connecticut WASPs (the Hepburns), complete with dogs.

He’s a germfree adolescent
Cleanliness is her obsession
Cleans her teeth ten times a day
Scrub away, scrub away, scrub away
the S.R. way ..


(we are to imagine that S.R. is - sit down for this - Semantic Reaction, or the meaning of “is” is, as outlined by Korzybski, and *aggressively marketed* by LRH)

DONE UP IN BLUEPRINT BLUE
LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE ..


Hughes takes seven dried grams in .. a crowded airplane factory / gets caught up in a [keeps repeating] lock-groove lullaby / gets behind the wheel of his Pierce-Arrow, puts inna tape of Quarantine Heaven by Luxurious Bags (1993).

COMING UP (like a flower)
Hughes’ “Frisky Boat” monstrosity nicknamed the Deep Ellum.
Hughes pulverizes rows of Spanish roofing tiles in a prototype aircraft / Olivia Newton John Denver collaborate on “Fly Away” for a Christmas special recorded in July / Hughes’ latent syphilis is aggravated when he finds himself engulfed by flame.

SENATOR ALAN ALDA
.. (‘if it bends, it’s funny’) attempts *psychological warfare* against Hughes by placing an obvious recording device inside his brook trout and - sure - shooting off onto his water glass prior to the luncheon.

LIKE SOME OF YOU
.. i discovered Christina Stead by way of an Angela Carter essay. since then I’ve read three of her novels and - while Miss Herbert is certainly *good* - For Love Alone (set in Australia & England) and I’m Dying Laughing (Hollywood & France) are trooly fantastic / and, what’s more, could’ve been written by different authors inhabiting separate eras. we get a taste of her range in Ocean of Story, a collection of uncollected short fiction spanning her career. do you want Nu.Yawk? the native Australian can CITY with the best of ‘em (Renata Adler, Wm Gaddis, Delmore Schwartz, Tess Slesinger).

ALADDINED BRUNCHEONETTE [ Momò Lee Yi Ching ]
The Flash ? It looks like nothing you've ever seen (tho' it exhibits shared DNA with 2018's Dreams, Washed Out, sure !). It *breathes* as an organism with layers of experiential data. Echoes of the "Electronic Folk" of Howth Castle & Environs sifted through the sleeping head of a passenger car in transit. Who is on the line? A mysterious delivery. When the ground changes, the figures may disappear .. but each phrase re-emerges, rhythmically. Songs of identity, a seamless procedure of Dream and embodied activity. An efficient package of Wonder, one of unguessed depth and rich surprise : I cannot stop watching.

IN THE SPACE BETWEEN
