THE RING

Glory filled moment
For the unexpected
To stand up
In front of the cameras
To win
To kiss your girl
With swollen lips
It’s the place
To kiss the cloth
With your nose
A concert
Or a morgue
With your family on your shorts
With God
With your pimples and your nose bursting
Red beads like a race horse
Bathing in each others sweat
And blood
Crowd chanting your name
With a broken nose
Mincemeat
As they boo you
The sluts go round and round
As they boo you
Your face is falling off
As they boo you
The kid’s white shirt is spattered with blood
They want him to kill him
The best fight lasts four seconds
The best fights are pink
The best fights are empty

Here's some pics from the show which also happened to be Gen's 62nd birthday.

Prescription Lullaby

Last Thursday I wrapped shooting for my latest music video for the group Conscious Summmary's "Prescription Lullaby". Without giving too much away, the music and images reflect consciousness and memory, both abstract and melodic, innovative and classic. Like life, it is a contradiction that makes perfect sense.

Look for it in spring.

PotionLords

My oldest, dearest friend James Sinclair has been blogging for the last few years about everything from cults to psychotropic drugs, from Michael Jackson to Genesis P-Orridge. The topics, opinions, and information are so totally unique, important, and interesting, I had to and want to pass it on to anyone who doesn't already know. READ THIS BLOG. You will learn something new. I did:

Hector

My friend Hector has made two videos which I think are really funny and creative. I've known him for almost five years and all I can say is he's the hardest working man I've ever worked with, and one of the nicest people I know. He has helped me on most of my projects and never once complained. Its great to now see his work. It can be found here: http://vimeo.com/35492884

Private Realm

Last Sunday, the MFD warehouse hosted a dublab broadcast which had a very wide and interesting range of music. I was invited to perform with my fellow artists James Sinclair and Olivia Arthur's project PRIVATE REALM. It was our first time performing live, and what an experience. We had a short and dense A/V set, with James and Olivia on sounds and myself on visual improvisation. It was a collective improvisational experiment. Unclassifiable in its scope, and a one time magical moment for those there to witness it.

After the set, I continued to mix visuals to the other Dj's and bands. It was a magical expeirence to both perform with people I have never heard or met, and to have it be such a success. There were some great moments. Thank you to all the family and friends that were there and made it happen. Au revoir.

Dowtown train

For all of you
Fighters who like to fight
Like to smoke
Like to drink.
For everyone who loves
Something.
How many times
Can you jack off
Can you fuck
Fight, smoke, drink?
Until it hits you?
