The Walrus 2 0 1 6 Vol THE WALRUS 2 0 1 6 VOL. 50 SAINT MARY’S HALL SAN ANTONIO T E X A S And I asked myself about the present: As human beings, we constantly search for answers in the past, present, and future. We want to control time, and yet we know we are powerless in its presence. All humans want a purpose to their current condition, but still there are incongruencies that seem unavoidable. Kurt Vonnegut explores these same issues in his novel Slaughterhouse Five. This year’s The Wal- rus staff presents this exploration of time and space as a way to examine identity. Each sculpture, photograph, painting, and poem looks at who we are in relation to the larger universe.

Fondateur de l’inoubliable groupe de rock alternatif Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore est désormais seul aux commandes de son inta- rissable destinée musicale. Sur scène, il est plutôt bien entouré : si le batteur Steve Shel- ley lui est resté fidèle, la bassiste Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine) et le guitariste James Sedwards composent une formation qui fout les frissons. La cohésion au sein de cette forma- tion est tellement parfaite que Moore vient de composer un disque spécialement dédié : aux cô- tés du producteur à succès Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence and the Machine, etc.) et de la poète Radio Radieux, il vient de réaliser Rock N Roll Consciousness, qu’il considère comme un nou- veau chapitre personnel et un highlight pour tout amateur de musique avant-gardiste. Le rock indé à son meilleur niveau ! www.thurstonmoore.com La Bâtie 2017 Dossier de presse Thurston Moore Group Rock N Roll Consciousness (2017) Thurston Moore entered The Church studios in London to record new songs with producer Paul Epworth. Thurston, the founder of seminal US alternative rock experimentalists Sonic Youth and Paul, the celebrated producer and co-writer of Adele, The Pop Group, Florence & the Machine et al created a dynamic vibratory match (with the realization that they were both Leos, on the cusp of Cancer, born on 25 July.) The session was mixed by Randall Dunn (Marissa Nadler , Sunn 0))), Earth, Boris) at Avast! Studios in Seattle. Thurston Moore Group had been touring since the critically acclaimed release The Best Day LP/CD (2014, Matador) that introduced the core members James Sedwards (guitar), My Bloody Valentine’s Deb Googe (bass) and Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley (drums).

  • A Dictionary of Haiku Classified by Season Words with Traditional and Modern Methods
    A Dictionary of Haiku Classified by Season Words with Traditional and Modern Methods by Jane Reichhold AHA Books Text Copyright © 1992 by Jane Reichhold Haiku Copyright © 1983, 1988, 1992 by Jane Reichhold Book Copyright © 1992 by AHA Books Web Version Copyright © 2000 by Jane Reichhold Paper publication as: ISBN: 0-944676-8-1 This edition of A Dictionary of Haiku was made with permission from the web version published in 2000 and available at http://www.ahapoetry.com/aadoh/adofinde.htm Introduction The Japanese have long wondered how writers in English could ever hope to write haiku when one of the most-basic writing tools was unavailable to them. Every Japanese writer owns one or more saijiki (sigh-gee-key). A saijiki is a dictionary of haiku in which the poems are arranged, not alphabetically, but by seasons. Within the five seasons (New Year's Day has a separate section) are usually the seven different categories: Season (weather aspects indicative of that time of year), Celestial Phenomena (stars, sun and moon), Terrestrial Phenomena (geographical aspects such as mountains, fields, rivers, etc.,), Events (or holidays), Life (terms dealing with the daily life of humanity), Animals (deemed appropriate for each season), and Plants (often those most conspicuous for the season). Within each of these categories the poems are listed in a prescribed order of appearance according to the natural world. In spring (and saijiki traditionally start with the first and best season) plum blossoms are listed before cherry blossoms because the plum blooms first; slush comes before new grass. In many cases there is a natural sequence; in others - as in animals - it is very arbitrary.

Introduction “I belong to the Blank Generation, and I can take it or leave it each time,” sang Richard Hell. Those words would quickly galvanize the nihilism and rejection of the mainstream that defined punk rock. Richard Hell is an American musician and writer, known for his involvement with the early punk movement in New York City in the 1970s.

  • Guitar Adventures with Robert Quine
    Robert Quine at the I-94 Bar Page 1 of 4 (Posted May 24, 2000) NOISE ANNOYS: GUITAR ADVENTURES WITH ROBERT QUINE A handful of songs into just one album, and Robert Quine had staked a claim as one of the most distinctive guitar sounds on the New York punk scene. Quine was part of that small but influential coterie of musicians, artists- turned-musicians and assorted dilettantes that populated a seedy ex-biker bar called "CBGB and OMFUG" at 315 The Bowery, on the Big Apple's seamy Lower East Side. He was the principal guitarist in Richard Hell and the Voidoids, a unique quartet spitting out some of the New Wave's most disturbing music. The Voidoids were, by all accounts, a confronting and ferocious live experience - the officially-released live tape "Funhunt" confirms as much. As the singer and bass player, Hell's quavering yelp, intense presence and wired stage antics were in sharp contrast to Quine, the epitome of cool in shades and sports coat, a seemingly ever-present cigarette dangling from his mouth. Working alongside underrated guitarist Ivan Julian and drummer Marc Bell (later to rise to fame as Marky Ramone), Quine's sometimes melodic, often jarring, lines gave flight to the embittered, poetic lyrics of songs like "Love Comes in Spurts" and the anthemic "Blank Generation". Tours of the UK followed as punk - in Europe at least - became a commodity. They were lucrative times for some but not the Voidoids who dissolved in a sea of industry indifference and disinterest on the part of their singer, by then a captive of other distractions.
