The17 - Music as we know it is dead; long live music.

[source]

Yup.

And for the same reasons, poetry and dance are similarly dead.

A direct result of the digital age, these phoenix-like demises.

None of these poets yet have an internet presence.

Perhaps they soon will.

Re-Vlog :: WalkingMan :: Net Cinema Poetics


Guys over @ Taylor Street Studio, Soluble Fish, and Joel Sugarman are making stuff together.

Elegantly done, fellas.

Methinks this was all shot on cell phone.

Video, moving, & mapping for purposes of storytelling.

Streamlined, real-time-to-web, yet long-lasting film making.

This is IT; this is what excites me for development, production and marketing stories.

What kinds of stories can we really 'see' and ' hear' when delivered and taken in from a web site, cell phone, or iPod?

This kind of film making reminds me of Michael Figgis' cutting-edge "Time Code" -- one of my favorite films.

Figgis is a good pianist.

Found Will Leurs' project from his comment over @ one of Ted Hope's blogs that 'reviews' Twitter. I've written about Ted's Twitter Review post earlier.

Villanelle For Our Time – Leonard Cohen



Not 'commerce' but rather, 'commonwealth'.

Oh.

Yeah.

I get it now.

Testing Blip.FM blog publication. Already integrated into Twitter, I like being able to embed a song in the blog. Let's see...

Signs of the Times :: The Economy Sux


.:. Faux Press .:.

Yeah.

Remember when neraly every car in NYC featured hand-written signs taped to a rear window that said things like, "Don't bother. Everything's been stolen already," or, "Sorry, nothing left."

People react to having been violated by making signs.

Signs of the times.

New York Poems :: Joy


Another of my favorite collaborative efforts.



Elaine Jones & Ed McPhillips read. The words are theirs.



Wonderfully frightening meditation on obsession.



I'm posting it everywhere - to all my sites - because this poem just works on every level I can think of at the moment; and because when violence is associated with love weird things worthy of study happen.



Don't have a still photograph of Elaine & Ed together, but there is a film school video not yet digitized that might well go up.

Florida Poems :: Carlos at the Cuban Cafeteria



Miami. A portrait. Appropriate with the stand down of Fidel Castro. A portrait of longing for the old island of Cuba from Calle Ocho.

Words - Bruce Weber

Else - Jan McLaughlin

The Rinse Cycle - by Jan Bruce



Most of our weddling coverage was with a Polaroid. We had them duplicated.



Bruce and I made a lot of poetry together as the poetic dyad "Jan Bruce".



"The Rinse Cycle" was recorded in the late 80's at the 233 Lytton Court house.



Had a two-track boom box, a 4-track Tascam machine, and an SM-58 mic.

The Psychic Poets :: On Mythology :: The Hardy Boys

John.

Where is dear, sweet, adoreable John?

The quote is from one of Bruce's poems.

For me, it was Nancy Drew.

What really caught my kid imagination was the Dick Tracy video / phone / watch - a 2-way wrist radio - that came enclosed in boxes of Trix cereal. Even though the Trix watch was plastic & cardboard, the very idea thrilled me.

Didn't care one way or another about the comic.

Now, I've got one - even though it's a phone.

It still thrills.
