We're not well, dear. Toll the bell, dear.
As our lives dissolve we revolve
Lonely & uninvolved.
Pencil thin, we're near done in, we're
masticating maize. An empty gaze,
sitting like that for days.
Try as we may, calendars
are scattered, furnaces go cold,
wardrobes flap in tatters, you & I grow old.

I recently came across this article on Eric Thacker and Anthony Earnshaw’s surrealist comic strip Wokker. It’s worth taking a look at; there are more examples of the strip on this page.
Wokker reminds me of Peter Blegvad’s Leviathan, which had a good collection published, though it may not be in print. Leviathan started as a strip about a baby, but got more surreal and stylistically varied as it progressed.
Comics are a perfect medium for surrealism; it’s an underexplored avenue. Although you can find surrealist strips even among conventional newspaper comics. There’s Krazy Kat, of course, but another one that’s less known, and that really needs to be collected, is Gene Ahern’s The Squirrel Cage.

Rules Free Radio Oct 24 2023
Tuesdays 2pm - 5pm EST Rules Free Radio With Steve Caplan
bombshellradio.com
On the next Rules Free Radio with Steve Caplan, at the top of the second hour, we’ll do a tribute to the late Power Pop singer-songwriter, Dwight Twilley. He passed away on October 18th. Although he didn’t attain the popularity of a lot of other Power Pop artists, his music was generally praised by critics, and appreciated by other musicians, and he’s a top-tier artist for most serious Power Pop fans.
In the third hour, we’ll pay tribute to Carla Bley. She was a composer and performer with a career spanning over 50 years. She was an important figure in the Free Jazz movement in the 1960s, and a stalwart artist for the ECM record label. She collaborated across genres from Jazz to Rock. We’ll hear a little sample of her diverse work.
We'll hear some new releases including The Bablers, Rob Suraci, a new single from Star Collector, Metric, John Scofield, Squirrel Flower, and others. Plus music from Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, Paul Pena, Matthew Sweet, Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, John Lee Hooker, and More.

Les dernières semaines, un peu comme tout le monde, je me suis amusé à « cuisiner » un peu Chat GPT avec toutes sortes de questions, pour conjurer le mélange de fascination et d’angoisse que cette nouvelle technologie m’inspire. J’avais même un début de projet poétique en lien avec ce programme d’intelligence artificielle. Mais disons que les résultats n’étaient encore pas complètement concluants. Samedi dernier suite à une recherche banale pour un autre projet, je lui ai demandé qui était Jérôme Minière. Je lui avais déjà posé la question une première fois et Chat GPT ne me connaissait pas du tout. Est-ce mon ego blessé qui m’a fait lui reposer la question ou une intuition créatrice ? Toujours est-il que cette fois-ci le programme savait qui j’étais. Quelqu’un en avait parlé dans une chronique à la radio et j’ai pu le vérifier. Chat GPT fait des erreurs : Dans ce cas-ci, il m’a fait naître en 1971 au lieu de 1972, à Saint-Jérôme au Québec au lieu d’Orléans en France. Il associe de mauvaises années de sortie à deux de mes albums. J’ai encadré toutes ces erreurs (des broutilles en somme) en jaune, et puis une autre en orange, parce qu’elle était bien plus intrigante et créative. Il m’attribuait un album que je n’avais jamais écrit : « Le caissier des étoiles » (2008). Je vous laisse lire la suite de notre vertigineux dialogue, entre réalité et fiction, erreurs et faits avérés. Je n’en reviens toujours pas. Cela dépasse en imagination Herri Kopter, mon premier roman, et toutes les fantaisies qui me sont venues jusqu’ici. Je ne sais plus quoi penser, et je compte bien contacter Peter Blegvad, pas le supposé écrivain français, mais l’artiste américain, qui lui existe vraiment, et que j’ai découvert grâce à Chat GPT. #chatgpt (à Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLL4ezLkL6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s day 30 of the #7inchvinylchallenge by @dontpanicrecords and @phil_rotation: 3+ Bands. Various Artists - Recommended Records Sampler EP (Recommended, 1981) A supplement to the titanic double-album sampler, this EP had a song each from Peter Blegvad, Faust, The Homosexuals, and two from R.Stevie Moore. It also had a glow-in-the-dark silk-screened flip-side for further mind-expanding fun. A precious object for sure - and you can probably score your own for less than $10! #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #records #vinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #julyvinylchallenge #45rpm #45rpmclub #seveninchvinyl #seveninchsingles https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgp7Kf_As9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
