Terry Hall - Our Lips Are Sealed (fine live version)

 Speaking of missing people here is Terry Hall with a favourite song of his and it always stirred me this song . . . . .I found it anger making and somehow justified and was against the judgment by others! No?

Diane Keaton on Al Pacino!

The most beautiful man I’ve shared my bed with. From the moment I saw his face, there was nothing nice about my thoughts.

What can she mean?

The Tickling Dalai Lama!

 I mentioned the Dalai Lama yesterday and an old post of mine from Flackenabokks and someone asked me about it saying it must be AI! 

I don’t believe it is but here ’tis so makes yer own mind up . . . and despite the horrors of war and being run by madmen there is a something beatific about the use of humour and laughter in general

This is about as spiritual as I get . . and with it being Mothering Sunday here (a Christian festival about celebrating Mother Church!) amongst Christians here’s a thought about laughter!

As John Lennon always said Once you use violence in response then they’ve got you but the one thing they cannot deal with is humour! (to paraphrase but you get me right?)

Eno- Roedelius - Moebius - OIL | jt1674

  . . . so might sign off the day with this . . . I collected all the work Eno did with the Cluster members and found it curiously calming and meditative . . . oddly perhaps now I don’t really listen to these much any more. But sleep well and sweet dreams folks

The Ghastly Ones - Haulin’ Hearse! | The TWILIGHTZONE!

After seeing a clip of the Dalai Lama and his penchant for tickling people and making folks laugh (he winds up with a tip for heat treatment by putting a damp hanky on his head!) you have to admit you may as well LAUGH!  . . . . . . . [otherwise you’d cry!]

DADA | poetry - Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven : A Dozen Cocktails Please (1927)

 

A Dozen Cocktails Please

Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven

No spinsterlollypop for me—yes—we have  No bananas I got lusting palate—I  Always eat them— — — — — — —      They have dandy celluloid tubes—all sizes— Tinted diabolically as a baboon’s hind-complexion.  A man’s a—  Piffle!  Will-o’-th’-wisp! What’s the dread  Matter with the up-to-date-American-  Home-comforts? Bum insufficient for the  Should-be wellgroomed upsy!  That’s the leading question.  There’s the vibrator— — —  Coy flappertoy! I am adult citizen with  Vote—I demand my unstinted share  In roofeden—witchsabbath of our baby-  Lonian obelisk.   What’s radio for—if you please?  “Eve’s dart pricks snookums upon  Wirefence. ”  An apple a day— — —    It’ll come— — — —  Ha! When? I’m no tongueswallowing yogi.  Progress is ravishlng— It doesn’t me— Nudge it— Kick it— Prod it— Push it— Broadcast— — — — That’s the lightning idea!  S.O.S. national shortage of—   What ?  How are we going to put it befitting  Lifted upsys?  Psh! Any sissy poet has sufficient freezing  Chemicals in his Freudian icechest to snuff all  Cockiness. We’ll hire one.  Hell! Not that! That’s the trouble— —   Cock crow silly!  Oh fine!  They’re in France—the air on the line— The Poles— — — — — — Have them send waves—like candy— Valentines— — — — “Say it with— — —  Bolts !  Oh thunder!  Serpentine aircurrents— — — Hhhhhphssssssss! The very word penetrates  I feel whoozy!  I like that. I don’t hanker after Billyboys—but I am entitled  To be deeply shocked.  So are we—but you fill the hiatus.  Dear—I ain’t queer—I need it straight— — A dozen cocktails—please— — — — about this poem “A Dozen Cocktails Please” was first published in 1927 in the magazine  The Little Review, edited by Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap.  About the poem, biographers Irene Gammel and Susan Zelazo  write in their introduction to the book Body Sweats:  The Uncensored Writings of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven  (MIT Press, 2011), “Boldly erotic, the Baroness’s poems offer  poignant commentary on the cultural consumption and valuation  f the female body and what insights that might lend to an  understanding of the economy of art. Thus, it is in poems like  ‘A Dozen Cocktails—Please,’ that she, as a woman, rivals and  arguably outperforms the shocking bodily exuberance of male  Dadaists such as poet-boxer Arthur Cravan.”  They continue, “To demonstrate her appetites is to make herself  present, to take up space in a sociocultural landscape that privileged  male subjectivity and objectified women. By inhabiting her own  exhibitionism, the Baroness reclaims the female body in language,  but also transforms that body through a new language of desire.” Elsa Hildegard Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven was born Elsa Plötz  on July 12, 1874, in Swinemünde (now Świnoujście, Poland), in what  was then the German province of Pomerania. Otherwise known as  “The Baroness,” she was a German artist, poet, and performer  associated with the Dada movement. Active among the literary,  artistic, and intellectual circles of early twentieth-century New York,  she died on December 14, 1927, in Paris.

Bob Dylan - Most Of The Time (long version) Produced by Jesse Dylan

On March 16, 1990, Bob Dylan recorded a live in the studio version of "Most of the Time at Record Plant Studios n Los Angeles with guitarist David Lindley, bassist Randy Jackson, and drummer Kenny Aronoff.  

The session was filmed for a promo music video directed by Jesse Dylan, Bob Dylan's son. The performances were described as spontaneous and largely unrehearsed.  In addition to Dylan and Lindley, the session featured Don Was on bass and Kenny Aronoff on drums.   David Lindley provided distinct slide guitar work during these sessions, contributing to a "live" feel in the studio.  

This collaboration occurred during a period where Dylan was exploring new, spontaneous studio methods with producer Don Was.   Jesse Dylan later said that as his father is not proficient at lip-synching, "we did a lot of fast cuts from him singing live to thematic material using the actual track. So he never had to lip-synch. He looks great and it doesn't look directed. You create a space for Bob to be Bob"...  

Most of the time

It's well understood

Most of the time

I wouldn't change it if I could

I can't make it all match up 

I can hold my own

I can deal with the situation 

Right down to the bone

I can survive, 

And I can endure

And I don't even think 

About her

Most of the time
