Re-Lu

Embarré à l'extérieur durant la pluie comporte parfois des avantages, surtout quand on est tout près d'une bibliothèque. Aujourd'hui j'ai profité du mauvais temps, j'ai pris de la distance par rapport a the Scar et j'ai relu L'Incal...fuckin' shit.
Trop de temps à passé depuis ma première lecture en 1998 et aujourd'hui, je dit ça mais je suis immensémment content de presque plus rien me souvenir l'impact n'en était que plus fort. Des planches d'une beauté inouie de Moebius, l'histoire et la technique d'écriture completement nouvelle de Jodorowsky. L'Incal reste une source d'inspiration immense pour la SF moderne, en BD et en roman. C'estt spirituel, esothérique...

Une exercise en utilisation du NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming). Impressionnant, fascinant, dangeureux.

MORT !

C'est aujourd'hui que s'éteint Jack Valenti, l'homme responsable de l'instauration du rating system au cinéma états-unien. Il nous quitte à l'âge mûr de 85 ans après avoir fait d'irréparables dommages a la liberté d'expression et à l'art aux États-unis. Son décés sera sans doute célèbré par tout les auteurs qu'il à consciamment tenté de conserver dans l'obscurantisme: John Waters, Jamie Babitt, Kevin Smith, Todd Solondz et tout les autres que nous aimons tant. Merci d'être passé, on voit que c'est pas toujours les meilleurs qui partent en premier. Ce soir la discothèque sera sur ta tombe.

Début des vacances

6 jours à Lévis, je vais écrire ma pièce de théatre et faire le plein des vides (en fait je vais faire le plein de mes histoires et le vide de ma tête). Comme on le sait bien il faut toujours commencer un périple du bon pied donc voici :

Aidez les troupes

Geeks du monde, vous pouvez mainteant faire votre part pour les soldats états-uniens qui se battent virilamment en Iraq. Après des années de rejet en temps de guerre, votre effort maintenant est primordial.

J'ai lu ceci sur un livejournal

"When President Bush ordered troops to Iraq, he probably never imagined that he would be ultimately be responsible for what very well could be the very first D&D convention/game day ever held in a war zone. Ziggurat Con, being held June 9 from 1200 to 2100 hours at Camp Adder/Tallil Airbase, is open to all allied military personnel and civilian contractors in Iraq.

KBR and MWR (the army’s Morale Welfare & Recreation Department) have graciously allowed service members to use part of the Community Activity Center to hold the Game Day. The Ping Pong room will be set up for RPGs (Role-Playing Games, not to be confused with the rocket propelled grenades which share the same acronym), and the DVD Movie room will be playing Anime Movies all day in support of the event.

The largest problem with running a Con in Iraq, of course, is that there are no local stores or game publishers, and few game books on the post. Even dice are in short supply, with many soldiers breaking the unwritten taboo held by many gamers and sharing dice. Thankfully, many game publishers have also lent their support, and have agreed to supply game products to help the Con along. aethereal FORGE, Sovereign Press, Final Redoubt Press, Goodman Games, Paizo Publishing and Steve Jackson Games are among those that have thrown in their support for the convention. But Amberson indicated that the soldiers could definitely use more.

"This convention is currently in drastic need of prizes and giveaways for the troops," he said. "Everything donated will go directly to the troops, or to MWR to use as loaner books for the soldiers."

Chappelle !

Hier soir, l'humoriste Dave Chappelle à fait un Muhammad Ali de lui-même. Il décroche le record de la plus longue performance en racontant des blagues pour 6 heures et 7 minutes. Le record établi vainc maintenant celui de Dane Cook (trois heures) et celui de Richard Pryor (2:40).

Des informations sur le prochain Saul

Je suis un constant auditeur de Saul Williams, comme certains comptent le nombre de jours qu"ils n"ont pas vu un spectacle, ou sorti dans un bar ou parlé à un être aimé. moi je compte les jours ou j"ai pas écouté du Saul, pour ceux qui vivent avec le même virus vous comprendrez comment je em sens, pour les autres, Saul me clame, me projette, m"élève, m"enlève et tout. Il est souvent pour moi la cathédrale cérébrale de mon coeur. Les nouvelles de son prochain album sont très minimes mais en creusant, voici que je trouve, de la bouche du poète lui-même:

" Heres the deal. The album is almost done. We have about 18-20 songs recorded. We've been taking time to listen and decide what needs further work etc. I'm very excited about the sound of the project as it truly sounds like the music I began envisioning around the time of Amethyst Rock Star that I hadn't developed the savvy to pull out of my mind and onto tape. During the recording of my second album, I was going for something much more specific, tempo driven and hard. Always hard, but this time, with the help of Trent, we've found something neither one of us have ever heard before. Hauntingly beautiful and in yer face when it needs to be. Fun. Blah blah.
No backburner, simply giving the music the time that it deserves. Also, I've decided not to talk to any labels until after the album is completed so as to truly gage excitement as opposed to, "hey, I think Timbaland could really re-work this into...". Fuck that. We are ensuring that the music maintains the quality and vison that we've invested into it, by presenting a finished product to the distributers. So we've been on our own timeline.
Trents been working extra hard as he's been recording his new material while also helping me record mine. Ofcourse, we've fed off one another creatively and that's been really cool. Basically, I feel like I have a new friend/mentor. I've learned more than I could have ever imagined, not only about music, but about myself and my relationship to music. I am a musician, which sounds about as strange to me as it does to hear myself referred to as a poet. I guess I bought into the institutional power structure that says u r whatever ur resume says, way too much. Since all my credentials are in acting, I feel like thats the only thing I have the right to call myself. Now, I'm learning how all that training will serve to bring my vision to the stage as a musician.
It's a concept album. Pretty theatrical, yet still intensely personal. We're talking about the recording but the albums real life will be onstage. I'm so excited about the growing popularity of performance in connection with the fact that anyone can turn on their computers and make music nowadays. Sharing it via internet is one thing, bringing it to life on stage is another. I guess since the album is mostly recorded this has become my new excitement. The stage!! It's also nice to feel some clarity about what the fuck I'm doing in life. Focussing on music, poetry, and performance brings me a new clarity, which may sound strange to some, but the truth is I've spent the past 10 years feeling mostly like an out of work actor.

OK, so back to the album. We're scheduled to mix the album (with quite an exciting engineer!) in April. So that means I won't have anymore info until after that...although I could give out the title...

Chinese Democracy,

Saul"

Merci Saul
