“ Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to say
‘Hello’ to an old friend
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you work for me?
I have got to get through
To a good friend
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Ouija Board, Ouija Board, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
Because I still do feel
So horribly lonely
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you, Ouija Board
Would you help me?
And I just can’t find
My place in this world
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Oh hear my voice
(Hear my voice)
Hear my voice
(Hear my voice, my voice)
Hear my voice
(Voice)
Table is rumbling
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time, it spells
S T E V E N
The table is rumbling
The glass is moving
No I was not pushing that time
P U S H O double F
Well she has now gone
From this unhappy planet
With all the carnivores
And the destructors on it ”

Tatt-ered “Cø††øn” and Cottonmouth Kisses
September 21, 2011 by Clint Catalyst · 3 Comments
I†† [ eye doublecross ] is not just a band;
they’re “a low-fi hypersigil, casting spells in various mediums .”
[CUE EXAGGERATED SHRUG]
Cool by me, brah.
Though when I discovered the basis for “Cø††øN”—
the latest single the duo conjured & released into the world
was [quote] “influenced by [ my book ] Cottonmouth Kisses” ?
Well, the excitement level racheted a bit Richter,
not gonna lie. . .
Then, upon hearing the track?
That’s when the really good news occurred.
I like it.

As in : I mean —
I really, really like it.
No need to elaborate, nor to “re-visit”. . .
but we’ve all had at least one friend whose
band/stand-up comedy act/spoken word performance —

Also, two other ways in which this obstinate child of mine
continues to make its mark upon the world
[ however great or small that may be ] :
Eleven years since the effer premiered in print, yet not till this turn around the calendar—
Two Thousand Eleven A.D.—is when a song about it was inked,
so to speak. . .

Ditto, these two lovely ladies :

If you’re not able to read the quotation obscured by my likeness?
That strand of syllables won’t be found among the pages of Cottonmouth Kisses,
but rather within the Degeneracy: A Love Letter project —
which I’m hereby placing ‘on the market’
ISO some serious match-making. . .
Said another way? Prospective publishers, literary agents, &/or
friends/kins/neighbors of the aforementioned?
Where there’s an interest, I have a manuscript.
Let’s talk.

As A Kid, I Often Said I Wished I Could Speak In Hieroglyphics
How rad it would be, I thought
[ though—since the timeline I'm referencing is circa rural Arkansas—
quite likely not verbatim, my choice of vernacular ]
If I could “talk with pictures”: fancy symbols—except
not carved in stone, but rather contained
in word bubbles,
like in a comic strip . . .
Y E A H .
A funny thing, time : cycles : that
symbol of the serpent swallowing its tail
All these years later, & where do I find myself?
Obsessed with animated .gifs, for fuck’s sake—&
yearning to communicate through means of a visual vocabulary.
I mean, let’s face it…does this gem excavated-from-the-uncredited-swag-on-imgur
not speak volumes?
Or how about this for a response?
[ Source: Sex With God : tumblr ]
& this flash-tastic action? Is it worth the proverbial thousand words?
Or does it have no value, since you’re such a worldly, highly-experienced Millennial?
[ So tough, the inured existence of a Trustafarian on tumblr, oui? ]
Hasty generalizations & snide jabs swept aside like unpaid internships, corporeal punishment,
or any scenario in which Unique, Special Beings aren’t coddled—even & especially
if [ HARMPH! ] “so-o-o bored.”
Sure : sometimes animated awesomesauce does get served with syllables & consonants…
For example: this little ditty by Seacrestcheadle, which—if Facefail permitted such forms of communication—
I would’ve plastered many moons ago on the ‘Wall’ of my pal Ugly Shyla ♥ [ because yeah, She 'Gets It ']
Alas! Seacrestcheadle isn’t why I’ve chosen to “get bloggy” this fine day
[ though worthy a post of his own, indeed! ]
Au contraire, I’ve intended to post about the following individual
for quite some time now, & finally: here we are—&
here the moment is…
If by chance you’re not familiar with the guerilla art of
Then please consider this a formal invitation to become acquainted, your
introduction by way of brief video clip [ courtesy : Babelgum ]
Admitted : at times the six-minute doc plays w-a-y-y-y Richter in the histrionics department
[ not to imply I don't—my guess is that producers urged Hijab to "ratchet up the drama"
for the cameras ] : to “raise the stakes,” ”show the element of danger,” “provide some
conflict”…as if the visual assaults she orchestrates aren’t confrontational enough.
However, to be fair [ I mean : gauche much, Mary? I'm only using their content! ]
I could be making excuses for the artist, when she’s portrayed exactly as she is.
O.K.!
Now that you have a bit of background info, I don’t feel as if I’m doing a dis-service by
sharing ‘only’ the digital art she creates.
Y’see, aside from recalcitrant acts of Hijabization,
the Princess constructs some friggin’ amazing GIFs; must admit.
& since ultimately, that’s what I’m ‘on about’ today

Well,
the photo shoot was captured on film—
namely, the latest documentary by Christopher Hines
entitled
[ pictured: musician & model Quentin Elias ]
&
After a wildly successful round
in the festival circuit,
it’s slotted to premiere at 8 PM
tonight
on MTV Network’s Logo
Synopsis:
“Chiseled bodies, flawless skin, sculpted jawlines. At a time when popular culture objectifies men
more than ever, it’s hard for them to avoid the pressure to possess such physical traits.
In his follow-up to The Butch Factor, director Christopher Hines exposes how far
some will go to attain the ‘Adonis Factor’—the kind of god-like
masculine beauty only seen in ancient Greek sculptures.
Hines takes viewers on an eye-opening journey through circuit parties, gay porn, and [ AHEM! ]
avant-garde fashion photo shoots, all of which promote their own kinds of idealized physiques.
By capturing a diverse range of voices—from those who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of
mainstream male beauty, to those who openly spurn it—The Adonis Factor ultimately
poses the question: does a man’s fixation on body image make him any happier?”
[ via Breaking Glass distribution ]
Promotional Trailer:
[ Purchase : DVD
What
T H E Y Say :
“More than ever, we live in a body conscious world, one where images of the male body are targeted at you
24/7. No wonder then that many men, both gay and straight, find themselves unhappy with their body
image, opting to go to various lengths, some extreme, in the pursuit of their ideal of physical perfection.
Yet in an increasingly superficial society, one where your look may well shape, if not define you, is this
any surprise? Indeed as one participant in this thought-provoking documentary from writer, producer
and director Christopher Hines put it, “how I look has made my experience of being a gay man, the
better” and here cue more parties, more sex, more friends. Yet life is a lot more complicated, as
Hines sets out to show, along the way taking into account the thoughts of dermatologists,
doctors, psychologists and sexologists, to plastic surgeons kept busy with never-ending
requests for face lifts to pec implants.
Yet whilst surgically enhanced male beauty comes with a price tag attached to it, others things in life
arrive with alarming side effects. For here Hines charts not just the use of illegal growth hormones
and steroid abuse, but shocking slimming disorders that see twink styled teens resorting to aerobic
bulimia, literally working off everything they eat, as opposed to throwing the calories up, just to
stay thin beyond thin. All of which brings to mind the question of what has society become,
when the pressure to fit in results with many playing Russian Roulette with their health?”
[ In Conclusion ]
“Filled with more buffed-to-perfection muscular studs than what you can shake a waxing strip at…” [ L O V E ! ]
Hines “deliver[s] an eye-opening insight into the yin and yang of the gay world.”

Hey ma!
C H E C K I T O U T
One that mentions me,
e v e n :
“…Willowy model Clint Catalyst (with a marvelous makeup sequence that magically employs
loose chains and spray paint to conjure up a compelling cover visage) has moved miles away
from the persecution of small-town bigotry to moulding his admiration for the likes of
David Bowie into a personal statement that can be truly savoured.
By journey’s end, there is much hope that the queer amongst us will be accepted first by themselves, then
by their peers and finally by the world at large. As commentator-comedian Bruce Vilanch points out,
the ultimate male physique has been deified and envied since the original Olympics,
where competitors never had to struggle into skimpy spandex.”
