Vanquish

I see you perusing epigrams of ancient heroes
They're peopling your heart
Oh they're peopling your mind
And your solitude is recluse
You were forsaken, I see your bruise
It's emblazoned on your chest
It's emblazoned on your arms
And your poor mama's greed
What she sows, she shall also reap
She's heading for that door
She's heading for before
That kerosene lantern
With its diffused immemorial glow
I say, "shine that light on that there trollop"
"Shine that light, off with her bodice"
"My dear boy," she bellows, implores
"Extinguish the flame, for I can't bear anymore"
And so the thespian whimpers, in all her mawkish fragility
"Stare into the eyes of the product of your womb...
in all his glaring immortality!"
Ruptured voices now shake the room
Distant Fathers, Daniel Boone
"Vanquish all the solipsists
vanquish or they will persist"
The earth continues on its rotational axis
As we're all stuck here sifting with the masses
And when the sun shields itself in the pocket of eternal darkness
We shall all cease to exist...pagans, frontiersmen, and the Marxists

Neon Indian - Deadbeat Summer

Bent - Comin' Back


If you love stereolab or are fully submerged in this new craze for electronica amalgamated with elemental jazz and tribalesque percussive synths you will most certainly dig this fusion style electronica produced by Nottingham, England's finest-Neil Tolliday and Simon Mills. Their albums are especially difficult to procure via i-tunes and spotify, so i would either search for their music on amazon or take a day off from burdensome reality and go on a scavenger hunt at your local record shop in the electronica section.

Sergey Larenkov

Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov has found a relatively innovative way to conflate the very disparate yet surprisingly congruous past and present together. He endows us with the ability to see the historical and social progression of previously, if not still, parochial and communist societies as they morph into urbanized and progressive modern cities. The span of 60 plus years (World War II era to the present) is encapsulated within a minute pictorial frame. And although the advent of photoshop and its utilization among amateur photographers has been prevalent for some time now, Sergey seems to employ different stylistic techniques that assist him in conveying his artistic and life philosophies. A pastiche of the then burgeoning industrialization, the nascent stages of World War hysteria, and the enduring chaos and complexity of a modern world buttressed by modern innovations.
