sappylilartpunk @ : *love* *hugs you all* December 6th, 2009jayyy @ : Would you like to Shower with me? :D To make myself feel better I'm going to unveil the biggest secret in the anglo world. Yay! This.  Perhaps you've seen it. Well, you've definitely seen it, but may not have noticed it. It's one of the most important symbols in our histories, and I'll briefly go over its past. Back in the day this puppy was the seal of kings, which is why I call it the Symbol of Kings. It's a bit of a trick mark, because you probably don't want to be a king. There are many, many theories on what it is/means, and almost all of them are wrong. This symbol is ancient. Back in the day, it was used by the cartographers to denote direction of North on some of their maps. You know, near the compass. Hence why the modern mason symbol system utilizes it so strongly for identifying friends in "the know" from the rest of the heirarchy. Steelworkers, and all that jazz. People think its a bunch of different things besides a directional arrow. It was the seal of kings, often shows itself in groups of 3, but when alone it is still 1 and 3. It's been said that it could be a sword, or a flower, or the tip of a medieval axe weapon. Maybe a crown to denote power. Out here in San Francisco, which my friend Joey denoted wisely as the new Atlantis (the place where titans sleep with the fishes--past evolutions of life moving from one coast to another). I call San Francisco the "City of Kings", because about one in ten people will bear this symbol somewhere on their persons as an identifier. A few by chance, because subliminal symbols like this tend to sell products. ie: Shirts. It's on half the coins in the world, afterall. The mystical energy out here in this city is immense. Decades of potent hallucinogen usage will tend to open unknown biological and metaphysical pathways. The people are self-aware, and they weave their ruins all into the sidewalks in mostly subconscious eruptions of awesome. Especially in the Haight. Go figure. Having come into great knowledge, and sometimes even holy knowledge, people wear this symbol often inappropriately as a sign of power. As a sign that they are "kings", or descendents of kings, so to speak. I call this symbol by its true spirit: it's three phoenix feathers. Choosing to be a king, or even choosing to wear symbols at all, places you back into the mortal world. It's the cycle of rebirth, except less painful. Phoenix style. It's the great alchemy right before the grand entrance. The American eagle and Russian double headed eagle (ironicly heraldric symbology for friendship--yeah, cold war what? LOL) It of course is a statement on the third eye. It's an iris. It's easy to see why, check this out:  Iris! LOL. What a clever pun. Third eye, get it? heh heh. Yeah, I love being alive as a human these days. We really are so brilliant and detailed, with so much lore and a lot of great, great Works. But I'd be careful wearing this symbol. I'm a vampire hunter, and if I catch someone wearing it insincerely, well I go all Helsing. Hunter hunter. I consider it tacky, like a bad innuendo, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the personality of the bearer. False cleverness can't be backed up. -*- In other news, my ivory Budai necklace I wear fell off in the park, when I walked past a lady with Buddha on her shirt. The truth is, this week I really don't feel like I deserve to be wearing him. He's love and joviality. And I've been a real downer, my friends are fighting, and everything just seemed off. The full moon didn't bring me any gifts. For some reason, I feel a little better today though. Oh. I did get a sign yesterday. I went to walk Hammy, and there was a green Uno card outside my door directly in the middle of the path with the number 5 on it. I needed that. love&peace, jason ladyvamp666, posting in synthpop_music @ : Tonight, December 6: Malediction Society and the Ophiuchus Zodiac Ball at the Monte Cristo in L.A.

CYBERING - SUN - MOTHER - WORSHIP INVISIBLE - SLEEP - GIFT - POWER --- "I may be OM, but what's with all this Nom?!" --- "I can barely believe; I'm doing it for FREE." Don't hate me for being just the same as you. Join me in this flesh that we are, this opportunity to realize the miracle of our very own Self. Rising to the forefront of a machine web, we are the sharks of a food chain come undone. The truth is, I can't do marketing. I can't do the capitalism. Like I said: being ridiculously broke has given me everything I have. It's only a paradox to the uninitiated. But fact is. I'm in this world, its someone elses food chains. Been here a million times, and suddenly we've got this foreign currency. Deals. There's no black and white, there's deals and no deals. So deal. I'll put on my Poker Face and plug the right names, and we'll pretend its okay, even though it is just plain ROOD. And all of us, Food. Every element of my life is complete except this one, the one you (and by you, I mean US) made up to define upon me: money. It comes down to eating. A practice I hate almost as much as getting off. It's funny, because I've got the potential, and so many have tried to help me, bringing me opportunities. But the truth is, I can't see those things, if I did I'd lose myself. I need someone to hold my hand. I guess I'm betting against my own usefulness, when the mission statement of my buzzyness has nothing to do with usefulness. I'm working from the stand of a chimpanzee with wings. Whose court is this anyway? I want you to know, the things you do for me are as valuable to me as the numbers can be to you. I do need to eat, and I know you know the same thing I do: I will die if I don't conform to these ways. The fact is, for some reason that is completely beyond my cognition, I am the minority. Somehow, everything that seems right has become reversed, and if you weren't there to reconnect me with natural law, it would be lost, and I wouldn't care. It would all be gone, like Poe in a ditch, and history repeats itself. How strange, I would be the one to consider myself the weak one. As if this "fault" defined me. Encaged me. I bring it up now only because I need to live too, or die too. These days I do it to please the biology. I can't help what I am bound to, but I can unbind you and the future from further torments through this: I have love. In you, I feel love. I have peace. In you, I know peace. I have kindness. In you, I feel generosity. I have serendipity. In you, I know a rhythm in chance. cosmicity @ : Star Trek meets "I Want You" and Check out how many views this second one has. 12,000!

More busy than usual. Let's go back a bit shall we... Right before Halloween on October 28th, 8ar8 and I took in the Glenn Barr show at the tiny 323 East Gallery in Royal Oak. Barr's first local solo show in 7 years attracted a lot of people. Too crowded to snap photos but I did manage to get a few of a recent bronze piece Glenn had done. Check out the photos at my Flickr page here DJ'ed at City Club for halloween. Biggest crowd I've ever spun in front of with an estimated 1200 in attendance. The place was packed like i've never seen it before. Very fun night. November 7th I grabbed the GPS and headed south to Columbus, Ohio to take in the Ragnar and Charlie Owens art show mentioned in an earlier post. Plotted out this route that took me through some back routes of Ohio. The kind of twisted roads that take you through small towns with vintage service stations that have been fixed up. Realized as soon as I got to the Ohio border that I had forgotten my camera. I passed by a ton of great sites that would have made for a nice set of images on Flickr. Next time. Perfect day for a drive as it was sunny and near 75... IN NOVEMBER. Got into Columbus close to 4:30 and checked in at my hotel. Solo trip as 8ar8 wasn't able to join me :(. Unpacked and decided I would walk the 2 or so miles up North High Street and take everything in. It was a gallery hop weekend and their were tons of people walking in and out of galleries, resteraunts were busy and on every corner was a musician playing something - some better than others. Very lively and very fun. On my walk up to Rivet I stopped in Magnolia Thunderpussy Records. Nice to be in an indie record store again. They are few and far between these days. Picked up the new Assemblage 23, Mesh, Babyland and Placebo. Also scored a few used items including the 2CD Izsoloscope "Au Seuil Du Néant" for a steal at $3.00!!! Made it over to Rivet an hour before the show opened which gave me plenty of time to check the store/gallery out and finally get a chance to meet husband/wife owners Scott and Laura. Incredibly nice people and was so happy to finally meet them. Excellent to see the store and the logo I designed displayed. Hung out at the gallery and met a ton of great people including artist Charlie Owens who is incredibly nice and trying to get his work transferred over into some production toys. Really hope that happens. Picked up a ton of stuffy including the all black Crappy Cat and the orange colorway SUG. Got 8ar8 a Cris Grimley print. Got myself a Ragnar print. Also finally picked up the Tyson McAdoo book "The Death of Me". If you haven't seen Tyson's art you really must check out the link. And if you like his stuff I HIGHLY encourage you to get to Rivet Gallery in August for his show. I bought so much stuff at Rivet that I had to stuff it into a garbage bag for the 2 mile walk back to the hotel. It was very comical to me. Made it back to the hotel just fine, dropped my stuff off and headed back out to this pizza place I had passed on my walk. Headed in and ordered a deep dish pizza to go. 15 minutes later back at the hotel I was sinking my teeth into the best deep dish slice I have ever tasted. it far surpassed pizza's I've had in Chicago. Yes that good. Sunday morning I got up and went back to the gallery for a bit before making the drive back to Michigan. A nice fun quick weekend getaway. Finally made it to Rivet and I'll be making more trips down there for sure, what took me so long I don't know ;) This past weekend on Saturday 8ar8 and I jetted off to Chicago mainly to see Nitzer Ebb but also to have an adventurous weekend. I got a nice speeding ticket on the way to the airport. Damn my lead foot. Chicago was awesome as always. Got in before noon. Stayed at the City Suites on Clark at Belmont which made it really convient to get to Chicago Comics, the Alley (got new boots finally!), Clarkes, and more shopping in that area. Hit Rotofugi for the Dave Pressler Angry Clobber Monkey signing. Dave was rather comical and we talked a little. Picked up 4 of 5 of the new Ashley Wood's World War Robot series figures. Very steampunk/mech looking robots I will have to snap some photos of once I get them on the shelfs properly. Back to the hotel from Rotofugi. Short nap and then it was off too Double Door to see Nitzer Ebb in concert. One of my all time favorites, we had both been very excited to see them again. We arrived a bit late at Double Door thanks to getting on the wrong bus and going a few miles the other direction before realizing oops. Arrived at a PACKED Double Door and made our way in, surprised to already see Kill Memory Crash well into their set. Was able to manuever to the bar for drinks for 8ar8 and I, but once we were away from the bar there was simply no moving but we did have a decent spot. Kill Memory Crash was impressive as expected. First time I'd seen them as a 3-piece and the addition of the new drummer helped aide the bands electro-industrial sound with rigorously precise rhythms. A little quiet due to a bad mix but still energetic and a very suitable opener for Nitzer Ebb. 2 DJ's did their thing as the stage was readied for Ebb. The DJ's were simply ok, not really mixing but playing an interesting selection of music - it was like they wanted to be Dethlab but didn't have the musical knowledge, skills or charisma that Dethlab possesses. Didn't much matter as the opening intro music announcing Ebb's performance began. Drummer Jason Payne (who played with the band on Big Hit) handled one drum set with Bon Harris on another plus electronics. They launched right into a new track "Promises" and it didn't take long to realize that Nitzer Ebb had returned in force. The set included the classics such as "Join in the Chant", "Murderous", "Control I'm Here", "Shame", "Lightning Man", "Getting Closer" and more. Surprises included "Blood Money" and a really sensational live version of "I Give To You". Newer material like "Once You Say", "Payroll" and "On Your Knees" for example sounded tight and well rehearsed. From the first to last note - a total blast of energy. To see a sold-out venue chanting in unison to "Murderous" and other tracks was simply awesome. Bon's production work experience shows in the new tracks. McCarthy's work with Fixmer has proven benneficial in showing a wider range of vocal delivery. Ebbs only gotten better with time. INCREDIBLE! Some video I took on my camera is posted to my Flickr account here Headed back to the hotel after the show. Woke up Sunday morning and did some shopping in Wicker Park area including Quimbys where both 8ar8 and I picked up too many books to mention. Hit Reckless Records and managed to find the Big Pink CD "A Brief History of Love". EXCELLENT CD on the legendary 4ad label. A good mixture of many styles (brit-pop, electronica, etc...) with a nod to some 80's retro. Have a listen to the song "Dominos" and I think you'll be instantly hooked. Sadly due to our scheduling we missed them on their recent tour stops in both Detroit and Chicago. Also picked up the debut release of Bad Lieutenant which is the new project of New Order's Bernard Sumner. Headed down to the Lego store to have a look around. Always a fun stop. Back to Belmont/Clark area where we had some fantastic deep dish pizza at Giordannos. After a short nap (Chicago tires both of us out easily) we got up and decided to head over to Neo. I hadn't been to Neo in like 10 years and 8ar8 had never been. Took a cab over and arrived close to 10pm. Not very crowded and expected it to be slow being Sunday and all. When we got their the DJ (Jeff Moyer) had a disc on auto-play. Not a big deal as I've done the same at City early in the night. Some good selections but after the first hour the only work the DJ did was to get up from the bar and insert another pre-made mix. Was hoping to hear someone actually DJ, not just press play. Regardless still had a blast hanging with 8ar8, drinking and running into our friend stompy. Took off from Neo around 1am and got the funniest cab driver on the way home. Talking about Detroit... and I paraphrase the cabby here "I heard you have to carry a machine gun there". Monday morning we got up and headed out to Bongo Room for breakfast. This place has absolutely amazing and mega-tasty food. After eating it was up the street to spend some time in Myoptic books digging through and endless amount of used books in every subject imaginable. After that we made a stop up at Quake Collectibles which is a tresure trove of all kinds of old toys from cartoon metal lunch boxes to Transformers to GI Joe's to original Star Wars action figures. Speaking of action figures, who knew Bon Jovi had his own action figure!!!??? I loved the Fargo snowglobe but passed in favor of picking up a Rat Fink toy and a Red Baron hot rod model similar to this one. Sadly we had to be on our way to the airport Monday afternoon, so back to the hotel, onto the airport and back home. Always love getting away and all the better with 8ar8 :) Have got lots of new music lately (thanks to an order 8ar8 placed with MNS) and have a full DJ schedule for December. Will write about music in another post. This is long enough. Current Location: 48070 Current Mood:  happyjayyy @ : .77. . . . . . . . . . . . . . iiiIiii -i- How strange. Yesterday. Unexpected.
