***TRANSCENDENTAL RODEO***
oioioGRAVITONSoooioiooi
The taste-making power couple over there at Healing Power have recently released another installment of the Transcendental Rodeo cassette backlog. This one's called the Magic Garden and it represents the entirety of Rodeo in it's third-trimester cosmology with over 20 members flooding the Tiki Lounge of the Tranzac. Take a look at Victoria Cheong's blog for more details.
Did you know that the December issue of Offerings is out now? Cover by Seth Scriver. Grip it.
sopped frontispiece
hey gang - here's a new edition for you to put in your sopping frontispiece: the Back Pain? apron; a perfect stocking stuffer for those gastronomically-minded friends and family members with insidious, crushing arthritic strain.
sorry the photo isn't really up to snuff, it's hard to find models when you're hopelessly alone haha kidding
ok and then i also made some music with beats today - just to see if i can do it and i can so here is an excerpt, i don't expect that anything will come of such material.

I've been terrible with keeping this blog up to date... don't remember when i posted last so here is an assortment of things that happened at some point kind of recently:
winston hacking and i collaborated on this bruce peninsula video once upon a time. have i posted this already? shit...
i am pleased to announce that you can now listen to a vagina bison writhe and gesticulate on the radio HERE on the free music archive
what elsssssee...
offerings went to london (ontario) for the culture days art fair at museum london. there was a button making workshop and i got to make some with my own hair. and stuff. a bunch of us made a one-off zine called monsters which seems to be a theme with london artists - one that i can get behind to be sure...
... got to spend some time with some wonderful and enthusiastic artists including jason mclean and his family. as with most memorable occasions there was a fair amount of balloons...
later on that day some of us torontonians played some music in a house. i won't go into much detail and direct you here. one thing i will mention is that there was a bar a block away from the venue called the longhorn grill which is coincidentally my DJ name.
here is an excerpt of what i played that night -
Fleshton Aura 111003 London Excerpt
elfin choirs multitasks (left), brain trust demonstrates "monster art dance" music (right)
i DJ'd a few nights ago at the hans-joachim roedelius show at the garrison. it went alright, but listening back to the recording i realize that you can hear some of the unwanted cuing sounds and so it essentially dead to me...
please do enjoy the fruits of my blunders:
first set
second set
third set
i spent some time doing a residency at gibraltar point on toronto island a while ago. the pieces that were started there are not completely finished but i can tell you that they include an A/V collaboration between exploding motor car and the amazing dancer minae omi, small indeterminate paintings and an album that is coming out soon on medusa editions as a split with brian ruryk. here is a sample of that:
fleshtone aura - gino's diarrhea excerpt
there's more too... sooner or later
in the meantime maybe you can tell me what this is supposed to be:

hey gang - here are some new things that got printed on Monday.
The first is a shirt I designed for Offerings. A few of my good friends have been printing some wild looking shirts recently, so I was reluctant to produce this one... 3 color + discharge print, small, medium & large. $20 each.
I also printed the covers for Six Heads new record, coming out on Wintage Records and Tapes any day now. Two color print on re-purposed dollar-record sleeves. Design by William A. Davison.

oh hi
i spent much of last week working on some print-paintings at the garage. it's a set that i started last year and put away for a while since i was too bored looking at them. and so i returned to them with renewed vigor in the interest of getting them out there. and so here they are (click on the picture to access the flickr photo set). most are 22"x30" on off-white stonehenge paper. there is also one that is 38"x50"(pictured in the photoset), another large on wood and one painted on an old silkscreen (not pictured). they all contain basically the same images but collaged and painted together in different configurations.
the one i did on the old silkscreen was a present for (Tower of) Randy Gagne for his birthday. you may know randy as the wild-haired hosier savant behind toronto's most promising electro-psych brain-trust Man Made Hill. i didn't take a photo - but the concept is that of the Work in Progress. every year on his birthday he is to bring his painting back to me so i can update/improve/paint right over it. i'd prefer if i could do this with all of my pieces... and so from now on - if someone were to receive a piece from me i'd give them this option. i just can't accept a piece being finished - just like that. with time, possible alterations and improvements will make themselves known and who am i to deny their completion because the paint is already dry? anyway... yah.
Bruce Peninsula - Salesman from Bruce Peninsula on Vimeo.
oh! and Winston and i spent some time this and last month working on a video for everyone's favorite post-gospel communal vibe-a-thon band Bruce Peninsula. this is your run of the mill painting on film affair, but i like it, ok?! winston and i are working on a few other projects that will include similar techniques so stay tuned.
Offerings! this has been taking up a lot of my time every month and i do it with pleasure... we're seeing this paper through like it's an infant taking its first steps, smoking its first cigarette or dying its first death. and so there is still more ground to be gained. but each step we learn something new...
this issue the cover is by one of my favorite canadian artists Jason McLean and in it i conduct an interview with him, Brian Ruryk, review some things and do some horoscopes. also included is interviews with US Girls, 6 Heads, Jesjit Gill about Zine Dream and more! pick up a copy at somewhere which is conceivably cool. i started leaving copies in subway cars, personally.
and this is a excerpt from the show i did earlier this year in Boston... that's it - bye!
