Police Horse Blues

Police Horse Blues by Steve Fly


I woke up one morning

with a horse in my bed

after a hard nights work

this is what she said:

-

I don't wanna work for those police no more

Oh no, i just don't wanna do it

I wanna roam in the lush fileds and grass

not bust up unions for Norman Tebbit

-

So i brushed up my horse

and took her round' the course

she ran like the wind

and then she said at the end

-

I don't wanna work for the Police no more

they just treat me like a pig

i don't belong in the city at all anymore baby

like a bear don't belong in a wig

_

Then the cops came and got her

carted her off with their trotter

now she's back on the beat

stompin' heads with shoes on her feet

-

Oh lord, that horse don't wanna work for the police no more

that horse just wants to run free

if it was up to me honey

I'd free dogs from the clutches too,

let em' all be.

Inspired by seeing two police horses foaming at mouth while on my way home from work today. Poor bastards, i thought.

Photo Pano Picture Mixture

Photo-pano picture mixture

audio sonic soundtrack

fixture

listen with eyes and seer the future

non-local and 360 rotational

adventure furniture


A new movie and unique

song

as the scene spins and

the film moves along

omnidirectionally


Hand made arts in new dimension

panorama spaces - the now

apprehension

lend some attention

look listen touch travel

suspension

 
Bridge to a new synthesis

of media

Chews your experience

fly through the novel painting

leap frog from

the edge

cutting all corners  off everything

churn on

Conspiracy Conspiracy Conspiracy: 3 ways of looking-atom

Conspiracy Conspiracy Conspiracy: 3 ways of looking at THEM.


Among the many trillions of petabytes of information that Robert Anton Wilson processed in his lifetime, may we dwell for a moment on his internationally recognized role as ‘the dean’ of conspiracy theory. The DEAN! (and self confessed model-agnostic)

Next, consider his repeated banging and thumping on the theme of ‘the fallibility of the human nervous system’. He seduced his readers with his art, to THINK, in a kind of ‘field’ approach of--plurality and multiplicity--opposed to a narrow, single-sighted, atom-beam view. (or the useful synthesis from exploring both of these different ways of seeing)

Im 99.8% sure that a huge part of Dr Wilson’s teachings detail how to transcend the Alex Jones style ‘territorial chest beating’ also found in the FOX news style ‘well suited lies’. His methods and his operating manual-style guide-maps, work like magical tools to help transform idiocy and ignorance throughout the world into humour and surrealist poetry, while secretly introducing his readers to the 20th' and 21st' centuries’ greatest hits (e.g. quantum mechanics, cybernetics, LSD and ‘hologrammic historical fiction', and, as i wrote earlier maintaining his position as the DEAN of conspiracy theory) 

I have always been a pretty out in the open RAW fan, again here I want to stress today, bluntly that if you have not picked up on RAW and his ideas yet, you had better start soon or else...you’ll be run over on the information superhighway. IMHO you cannot get such a balanced and encyclopedic guide to culture ANYWHERE else (from the perspective of just one individual with an exceptional globalist view).

RAW writes with an urgency and passion that drives his special model agnosticism into a kind of activism. Within his entire lifeswork its rare to find Dr Wilson 'chest beating' or writing 'well dressed lies' unless he tells you before or after that he has tricked the reader with a put-on or self confessed bias. His awareness of awareness and healthy self-criticism increase his appeal in the days of 'cock sureness' and 'unwavering certainty' on the left, the right, and wherever there is chaos and injustice.

READ HIM.

Ninja Jamm is here!

Ninja Jamm is here: Enter the mix http://ninjajamm.com/  http://ninjajamm.com/
 “In marketing terminology, a killer application (commonly shortened to killer app) is any computer program that is so necessary or desirable that it proves the core value of some larger technology, such as computer hardware, gaming console, software, a programming language, software platform, or an operating system.—Wikipedia, killer app.
Let Us Play—Coldcut
“Ninja Jamm is a free music app that lets anyone instantly remix Ninja tunes using touch control, state of the art effects and killer music from Ninja artists.”—Ninjatune.


Summer 2012 sees a new ear-ra in sound mixing, DJ performance and mashability’. IMHO the art and crafts of the disc jockey started with the hand-to-eye-to-ear skill set when the first vinyl manipulators started their experiments in the mid 1970’s, through to the new touch sensitive ‘tablets’ that respond to touching, tickles and scratch motions in a notable return to physical hand movements that trigger audio and visual media.

Yet for a moment there I thought that the CD-DJ phenomena flourished, and reduced the touch of a vinyl record platter to buttons and sliders with awkward looking LCD displays. I had a personal love of vinyl, and traditional vinyl turntablism and up until (May 18th 2012) i held firm to my beliefs by only spinning vinyl records for nearly 20 years.

The new interactive touch surfaces combined with real time, latency free, control bring some excitement in hands on DJ’ing back into a new sense of what DJ artistry consists of, technically. I feel its important to remember that  the equipment remains only a part of the art. The content, the music, the samples and the tasteful synthesis (mixing) help define comprehensive and information rich DJ’s from predictable ones.

Enter Ninjatune as a case in point. The rare example of sampling and software innovation running simultaneously, and keeping a consistently underground and forward thinking philosophy, today probably best summed up as an Open Source and Mash-up sensibility. Personally, when I discovered Ninjatune and their music back in 1993, I gushed at the mixture of sample based instrumental Hip Hop and experimental electronica.

The new Ninja Jamm APP makes sense in the age of mash up culture, remix-mania and digital culture gone feral. Ninja have a 22 year history that stands testament to their visionary and somewhat prophetic outlook on music culture, DJ’s, VJ’s and electronic music.  Now in the summer of 2012 I believe their shareable, mashable philosophy fits perfectly with  the new global APP village orgy.
“Instant remixing functions in push-button form let any music lover dive right in, yet Ninja Jamm is deep enough to engage DJs, musicians and producers. This one is fun.”—Ninjatune.

shape spacestation mission schedules by shunning election machine pressures



Do not despair,
there are words to put your hair on end
tip top tailored trips to smooth out
and curl the end of the world into a Bob.

Recorsi, the eternal returnsche
cosmo-constantly
bring a bitter light

stretch the imagination to its limit.
to make the tale true enough
comeback, the field of

thought
emerging again, amplified once more
make it new

shape spacestation
mission schedules by
shunning election machine
pressures

Mavericks of the Mind Live! Review by Fly

Mavericks of the Mind Live! by David Jay Brown & Rebecca McClen Novick. 

 

By Steven ‘fly agaric 23’ Pratt.
Amsterdam. March 2, 2013.

David Jay Brown quickly rewarded me for my response to a post he made on Facebook, proposing friends of his--read and review--advance copies of his new book ‘Mavericks of the Mind Live!’ I have spent the last week dipping in and out of the dialogues, sampling their taste, considering how to weigh them, and by what metric?

“Seems to me like everyone should have an isolation tank and get free of all this! This is my addition to technology, the isolation tank.—Dr John Lilly

Each of the panel members do not always agree, which to me shows the tolerance and good will of the participants and the tricky terrain they are exploring together. David and Rebecca launch the panel into free flowing feedback based on their provocative questions that include psychedelics, theology, law, anarchy and death. For me, the contributions by Dr Wilson in particular, illustrate how well human consciousness can formulate meaningful answers, on the fly, including both personal experience and published sources, with the noticeable effect of speaking like he writes: artfully. A great accomplishment for a social scientific philosopher and master satirist, me’ thinks. I should add that the book is worth purchasing and reading for the RAW and Timothy Leary contributions alone.     

"Psychedelics just accentuated what I was beginning to develop out of mathematics and physics--a sense of the order.-- Dr Robert Anton Wilson.

The wisdom from the speakers, together with the good timing of the conferences that were right on the tip of the internet information explosion (1993-94), set an historical intersection point, well worth of reconsideration. Without the present day reference points of Google, Facebook, and Twitter each of the speakers navigate somewhat familiar pathways into discussion relevant to our current hyper-connected social networks, search engines and intelligent predictive technology.  Also how interpersonal relations, and everyday social life changes during consciousness shifts. These Mavericks are invoking the future (1993-2013) and beyond with good cheer and a no-bullshit attitude.

“We can literally flash millions and billions of ideas to each other, and change and change, and change and add. William Gibson talked about the global atmosphere. You can tap into it and still be as personal and intimate as you want with those that you want to communicate with that way.--Dr Timothy Leary.

Due to exulted status of these Maverick futurists, in particular Dr Robert Anton Wilson, Dr Timothy Lear, Dr John Lilly, Dr Nick Herbert and Dr Ralph Abraham, the trajectories they set as a tribe together in these dialogues, stand testimony to the great consciousness revolutions that flared during the 1960’s, and the technological innovations & methodologies they spawned, plus, lots of sex, drugs, rock and roll and yoga in the streets. Amen!

“When nobody is complaining that they’re being hurt, that’s what I consider being a victimless crime. And the difference is not only that I can’t see any reason that a victimless crime should be against the law, but the only way you can enforce laws against victimless crimes is setting up a totalitarian state--because, to return to my example, if I’m getting hit over the head I’m going to go complain. But if three people are smoking pot in the next room and listening to New Age music, nobody is going to complain about that, because we don’t even know about it--so there’s no victim. The only way you can find out how many people in Santa Cruz are smoking pot and listening to New Age music tonight is by spying on the citizenry. – Dr Robert Anton Wilson.
