Vision

I'm ticked to death every time i see a screen do something its not supposed to. a channel of static, a vcr on pause, a ruined vhs... a cracked laptop screen is the best. but thats expensive.

Dream

I remember vaguely having a lot of dreams where i run away from someone who will rough me up over and over. I sprint and hop like a gazelle in real life, and i know this in my dreams. But when i try to haul ass away from these berserkers, my limbs weigh tons. One dream like this that happened recently enough that i can remember a lot of the details. I was chased by a man on roller skates. His hair was a jerry curled toupee, dripping with sweat. Sporting wrap arounds that glinted sparkly gold in the sunlight, he looked as if he just emerged from Straps and Straps and Straps, a gay bondage fetish members only club down the street. Hairy sweaty chest and gut buldging in two leather straps, bullet chain style. Chase me down over and over he would, knock me down, and skate over my hands. The last time, he circled 'round and pretended he was going to be nice. As soon as i let my guard down, he snickered and threw liquid lsd in my hair. I guess thats what was making his so wet. Then he pulled out his handcuffs and i had to flee as i lost my ability to grasp reality.

Toys Missing In Action

I want to make as much noise as possible, and my plan to do so was to buy toy after toy and screw with its insides. I like this method because i have no idea how it works. The sounds change more and more with each extra wire i add to the circuit board in ways i cant anticipate. Tones become rhythms, notes become scrambled. The new interface i create by adding potentiometers and switches decides the possibilities for composition.
Lately, the four or five thrift stores i travel to every few days have been light on usable toys. I've found three so far since we've been back, but i break probably three out of every four i buy. They usually cost about three or four dollars, so thats no big deal when they're available, but i cant find them.
I decided to start to build a box to house the circuits and mount the knobs and switches, so i don't break anything.

Get Bent.

This is certainly not my video, this is one of the coolest i've seen. I like to "circuit bend" toys. You open them up, find connections that cause the toy to glych or something... i dont really know. I dont care as much about the toy as i do the noise i can get from it, so i often break them on accident. Its always very sad for me. I want to start being more careful. But i cant help it. GET THE NOISE FASTER. This is the last toy a made. i played with it for two days strait until i broke it. i never put them back together properly. Most people do that do it treat it like some hobby where putting it back together and properly installing parts inside the casing is important. But i like what this guy has done with his. I want to meet in the middle. before i broke this latest one, i planned on building a metal box so i had to reach in to press the buttons and turn the pots, but noone could see what was going on. If anyone has a toy keyboard or guitar or whatever, ill make you a noise machine. This year i will learn to make lasting instruments. Hear is a picture of the little cop-out now, up top, under Suicidal Bhudda buddies trying encroach enlightenment. Treat your electronic components like the fragile little bastards that they are.

PFFR

PFFR's all star record: Wonder Shozen-Crushing Truth disguised as a Children's show. After two glorious seasons, mtv pulled the plug, apparently letting the art collective know by delivering a rotten basket of fruit. Even corporations have a sense of humor. Xavier: Renegade Angel. The same truth + extreme lyrical genius disguised as a computer animated cartoon.

They have at least one music album i know of, with this little gem on it. Its protest rock. Ha ha ha.
They apparently wrote Snoop Dogg's show on Mtv but i never saw it.
Last i heard of them, they sent a script for an "avant-garde" porn film called "Final Flesh" to a production company that films any script you send, for the write price. Then they made Dvd cases and sold it to your children.

burning star core/ america's greatest noise

Emil Beaulieau does a lot of trading with other noise musicians, edits their stuff and makes hybrids. He also does everything else ever, the self proclaimed Greatest Noise Artist in America. I hear he's very responsible for the noise scene in Japan finding its way here.
