Touchable Sound Records from the USA A Collection of 7-inch Touchable Sound Records from the USA In an era that advocates streamlined product, and music at the click of a mouse, Touchable Sound celebrates those independent-minded bands and labels that make their own records and relish the opportunity to produce labor- intensive one-off artifacts. As Henry H. Owings puts it in his introduction, the book honors “those who invest countless hours of themselves to further their art. It’s about having an attention to detail and a disinterest in the bottom line.” Curated by Brian Roettinger, Mike Treff, and Diego Hadis, and organized by region, Touchable Sound focuses on unique, exquisite examples of American 7-inch-record design. Spanning nearly 25 years, it lovingly documents the obscure and the hard-to-find with help from musicians, artists, and label owners. Many of these records—by bands as diverse as the Olivia Tremor Control, the Locust, Angel Hair, Stereolab, Los Crudos, the Melvins, and more— have never before been seen by a wide audience, and were originally pressed in extremely limited editions. Edited by Brian Roettinger, Mike Treff, and Diego Hadis. Introduction by Henry Owings (Chunklet Magazine & Books). Essay Contributions from Tom Hazelmyer (Amphetamine Reptile Records), Sam McPheeters (Vermiform Records / Born Against), Justin Pearson (Three One G Records / The Locust), Kristin Thomson (Simple Machines Records / Tsunami), Mike Amezcua (El Grito Records), Mark Ownes (Life of the Mind). Featuring over 300 records and 600 bands. All images photographed. Full marketing and publicity campaign planned. Release events scheduled throughout the Fall. Display copies and POP materials available. 412 pages. 4 paper stocks. Over 600 images. List Price $45.00 Soundscreen Design Base Price $22.50 Brooklyn, NY soundscreendesign.com.

  • Here Were Homeless People All Around Us and a Lot of Fighting Going On
    GUILT Ati Moran (Breaking Free Fanzine) on hardcore: Hardcore for me is definitely an idea, an expression of feelings and [an attitude of] never giving up on what you believe in. [It’s] an emotion you feel strong about that no one can take away from you! I also be- lieve hardcore has a lot to do with the people I met in the last 22 years who were apart of the scene - they weren’t everyday people. Besides hardcore being music, it was a place to get away from the normal world! Charles Maggio (Rorschach, Gern Blandsten Records) on hardcore: John Brannon said it best: hardcore is the “blues of the suburbs.” QUICKsaND Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) on fighting/ disagreements in hardcore: In the scene there were homeless people all around us and a lot of fighting going on. There was the whole punks versus skins thing. There was that back drop, so it was a pretty obvious place to say something about it, and it’s cool to have a scene that allows for that discussion. That’s what gives it power in a way. The hardcore scene is like high school. There’s the typical bullshit that goes on everywhere, but it’s cooler because it’s like a musical high school and there’s something kind of romantic about that. There was also a lot of back and forth between hip- hop and hardcore at the time, too. There was a time when there was a lot of racism but there was a whole backlash against that.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • ANALYSIS the Day of the Locust (1939) Nathanael West (1903-1940)
    ANALYSIS The Day of the Locust (1939) Nathanael West (1903-1940) 1 The novel opens and ends with a mob scene, the first artificial and the last real. Circular structure is a characteristic of the transcendental mode and of Modernism, as in The Sun Also Rises and Finnegans Wake. In contrast, the structure of Locust implies a downward rather than an upward or progressive movement— to madness rather than transcendence. The great noise outside the office of Tod Hackett is a fake army moving “like a mob; its lines broken, as though fleeing from some terrible defeat.” This image prefigures the defeat of illusory dreams that provokes the mob riot at the end of the novel. The soldiers of European nations at war evokes the brutal recent history of western civilization, culminating in decadent Hollywood. They are stampeding to the wrong “stage” and their leader, in a cork sun-helmet that evokes colonialism, is chasing after them cursing and shaking his fist like a fool in a dark farce. Late in the novel Faye Greener, another force of Nature, is said to be “like a cork. No matter how rough the sea got, she would go dancing over the same waves that sank iron ships and tore away piers of reinforced concrete.” That the dominant forces of history and Nature are beyond control is a Gothic and a Naturalist vision of life. Naturalistic also is the detached view West takes of the retired people who “had come to California to die.” They are like locusts. West implies that believing in what you see on the movie screen is as foolish as believing that the set of “half a Mississippi steamboat” will get you somewhere.

  • Critique of Consumerist Culture in West's the Day of the Locust. Abstract
    Critique of Consumerist Culture in West’s The Day of the Locust. Abstract: The present research paper analyzes the fragmentation and artificiality caused by consumerist culture in Nathanael west’s The Day of the Locust. Beside this, the researcher has tried to find how the social rule, costume, human desires, languages, families and materialistic desires are determined by the state, how state rules over common people and attempts to prove how state agencies break the natural desires of the people. Moreover, it tries to find out how the protagonist, Tod and other common characters are compelled to live under the shadow of capitalist ideology due to the desires of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. In order to analyze the text, the researcher has brought the idea of Louis Althusser’s Ideological state apparatus. On the basis of Althusserian ideology, the research establishes an idea how the state ideologies shape desires of the ordinary people in the society and how common people have become victims of consumerist culture. Keywords: Fragmentation, state, ideological state apparatus, consumerism and American dream. The present research analyzes the sense of fragmentation and artificiality in Nathanael West’s The Day of the Locust. All the characters are in one way or another way attempting to become happier with their life but actually they are frustrated and divested because of the influence of consumerist culture. The title word of novel "The Locust" refers to the little people who are faceless and sad and accumulate on the benches of Los Angeles, waiting for a bus that will never come.
