what's the time mr. wolf? (horsemouth was being a bit previous)

'the parent constellation of the bourgeoisie binds him with its spell' 

so hesse writes of his poor manwolf  (but couldn't it so easily be benjamin or lukacs or adorno)

and so horsemouth was being a bit previous. horsemouth has been reading steppenwolf to see if it has anything to tell him about his predicament (now that he is the right age for it). 

'two souls, alas, dwell in my breast' - goethe/ faust

having loudly announced that the wolf never bothers him anymore what does horsemouth do (while out sunbathing in the back garden) but collapse into rage over an imaginary situation of manifest unreasonableness that has not yet (and may never) come to pass. only two weeks to wait to see if horsemouth's dire(wolf) prognostications will come true. 

there are of course other irritants. only a little while ago horsemouth was enjoying a release of righteous rage over some inhouse infraction. 

the important thing to realise is that they cannot be dealt with now. horsemouth will just have to wait and see. (ho hum). 

steppenwolf (1974) the movie ends for poor harry in the psychedelic adventure (it's quite alice in wonderland-ish). mati klarwein is hired to paint the sets in the style of salvador dali. the film stock is fried. max von sydow does the best he can to maintain the interior life of the character against all the gubbins and dialogue a novel requires. charlie mariano does the soundtrack (horsemouth hasn't had any luck finding it).  

----------------------

horsemouth has a number of things he can 'share' but not necessarily show you here - a gwenifer raymond mix of american primitive guitarists, in fact here's a selection of things from NTS with the american primitive label. 

good to see horsemouth's photo of enza getting an outing. 

here he is showing you CATASTRO/fille's animated gif remix of it.

ok ok it was taken on her camera. horsemouth's contribution to the process was just to point and click. costume, makeup, props, hair - all enza (ok ok maybe some of the costume or props items came from CATASTRO/fille). the photo was taken during preparations for filming the fall of the house of fitzgerald  which will also be getting a showing) saturday 14th may at the electrowerkz at the renaissance festival. (hmm it just passed 500 viewings - wicked)

some of enza's photography will be on show at this all-day festival together with the work of other photographers, plus there will be lots of bands and at least one other film. 

the fall of the house of fitzgerald features the track malkin tower by musicians of bremen and horsemouth plays a version of darktown strutters' ball (an old jazz tune) as highrise strutters' ball. it also features lots of music by other bandshorsemouth had great fun with CATASTRO/fille making various sound effects and incidental musics. (hell he had a great time making the movie period).   

today a beautiful day out. yesterday horsemouth voted and then did a run over to the supermarket. 

today bandcamp friday and the local election results.
