    Did a little shopping this morning — just bought a  digital copy of the new album Occupy by Dr Marshmallow Cubicle.

    The band’s drummer and one of its main songwriters is my friend Steve “Fly” Pratt who has a big group of RAW related websites and blogs, among them the extraordinary RAW360 site, which you really should go take a look at today, if you are not familiar with it.

    The album was released on April 23 on Iron Man Records. Fly is based in Amsterdam and has been playing with the band for quite awhile now.

    Fly says “The Track titled ‘The Law Of Acceleration’ features fly reading words by Robert Anton Wilson, from Cosmic Trigger I.”

    I listened to the track and noticed I enjoyed the drums. I asked Steve who his favorite drummers are. “Max Roach, Billy Martin, Alan Hertz, Owen Hart Jr., Mike Clark, Stevie Wonder, JoJo Mayer, Zakir Hussain,” he replied.

    Occupy is available from iTunes and the Amazon digital music store and probably lots of other places, too. More on the album here.  There are lots of YouTube videos of the band.

    …on music and poetry and poetry and music on…

    by Steve Fly

    “Omniverse / Is / The totality / Of / All the universes / And you / Are welcome / To / Be citizens / Of / The Omniverse–Sun Ra, Omniverse.

     

    “Rhythm…is the first formal esthetic relation of any part to part in any esthetic whole or of an esthetic whole to its part or parts or of any part to the esthetic whole of which it is a part.–James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916)

    To this drummer/blogger, music and poetry share common parenting in the human universe. For example the 8 fingers and 2 thumbs, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 mouth and lungs of the majority of humans on earth create a basis and foundation for the human arts. The infinite potential of human hardware, the body, linked up with the infinite potential of the human software, mind, exhibited together in the spacetime flux of sound and symbol can heal the human condition and help the individual get a taste for freedom, and a little regiment.

    Astral Projective Verse

    By Steve Fly Agaric 23

    For Eric Wagner and John Sinclair. Thanks for inspiring these wild speculations which are really notes that shall be reshuffled into a more coherent whole at some future point.

  • THE SUN RA ARKESTRA & Timesplace.

    “People have two harps in their head, their ears, just like a harp. They hear by the strings in their ears. If I play something very strange, then some strings that never vibrated before will vibrate. The whole nervous system will become alive — SUN RA. (Sale 1987: 55, also Corbett 1989: 24).

    Brought to congress by Sonny Bount (SUN RA),
    A cast of vibrational scientists combine their instruments in new ways
    Exploring inner and outer spaces.

    “.”The Others in Their World”, “From Out Where Others Dwell”,
    “Moon People”, “They Dwell on Other Planes”.

    Like the old hermetical saying, “As above, so below”,
    You may operate spacetime & skyrockets that lie
    Barely inches behind the eye-socket.
    Marshall Allen like an optical scientist,
    A Dr. of Saxophany. Probing the frequency spectrums.

    The 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s were the space-race years
    SUN RA and his Arkestra were in the race,
    Playing the musical Nemesis of the arms-race.
    Life music in good time.
    John Gilmore breaking sound & light boundaries
    Thought previously to be, boundaries.
    Iron birds fly from the horn.
    Babbling brook and chattering river voices.
    From the 65′ Coltrane explosion, fragments linger
    Like soft spoken Billie’s echoplextasy.

    July 28th 1969: John Sinclair’s bogus trial had been postponed,
    Temporarily for the spectacle of the moon landing.
    After the landing the judges sentenced John to 10 years in jail
    For being – set up – with two joints by an undercover police
    Robot officer.

    “The Satellites are Spinning”, “The Cosmo-Fire”,
    “Lights on a Satellite”, “Cosmo-Energy”, “Friendly Galaxy”,
    “Irregular Galaxy”, “Space is the Place.”
