STREAM OF THOUGHT RANDOM INTERNET CRACK PROCRASTINATOR FOUND FROM WRITING LAST YEAR AND UPDATED WITH YOUTUBE PLAYLIST
What about a tee pee that doesn’t look like a tee pee but only functions like one, surface out and substance in, so sick of derivative indie rock looks squiggles and fetish of the thin wavering voice.
…trance passion that is knowingly cheesy and I don’t care, one must be sincere! Gabba gabba Dutch style rave do.
disparate connections:
Watching twin peaks again caused me to youtube david lynch clips, for I wanted to see my husband’s face again…anyway, following the loop downward spiral of clicking link after link after link it lead me to an especially wacky one of his transcendental meditation lectures in Berlin where this raja cum adolf Hitler sympathist became like an unstaged performance piece. The whole time I was watching twin peaks through my cold coupled with jonathan meese performance videos from the CFA website… I am an art nerd even in baths and strepsils no no I do not ever take breaks.
Then at the next tangent I looked up the very sexy Joan Chen from her role in the last emperor, utube sure is one holographic ephiphany connecter. The song I have been looking for so long, wondering who made the orginal and assuming it might be some Chinese classic (the one Anita Mui covered way back when) is composed by world music version of DAVID BYRNE. Jesus how could I have known as a child. So Cantopop refers back even to him too in the ‘West’, not just Wham! careless whispers renditions….
Other things that come to mind as I think of the possibilities of letter writing and postcards:
Paul mcmahon postcard series 1975 it’s very cool
Also postcard projects by gilbert and george and on kawara
And on another note, my inner 90s radical postmodern feminist has been agitating me to do something a little more rad again, let’s really try to overthrow the patriarchy once more gals and dudes, put up those machine guns! (More on that in a future article)
When I am at home in Scarborough I realize just how much suburban reality magnifies the way I am mediated through screens…cell phone tv computer screens, video game screens, movie screens, cooking show screens, Cathy and Kathy smoke screens… I also realize the neurosis of incessant pipe dreams playing on my brother’s iphone (now sassily renamed toobz). I think it was in Artforum that I once read that Seoul had the highest density of internet users because it had the highest density of LED mediated architectural facades.
Update to 2010: Other things I blissfully took breaks with on youtube this week while trying to work on my LAP TOP, I am so not a computer savvy so this is an arena that my stress becomes slightly relieved. yeeesh I cant wait until I find a place to start painting again….

And like street fashion was to catwalks in the 90s onward, the Guggenheim museum has taken note the merits of you-tube as an artistic cultural phenomenon. Lovely to hear that my pal James B’s animation ‘I met the Walrus’ is shortlisted on this. Surreal that he was also nominated for an oscar when it first came out, shit. At some point in his life he was from Scarbs too, represent babe! If you want to know more about that:
