How to Make Fire From Water

Lately I've become interested in all sorts of outdoorsy, grow your own, live with the earth type ideas. Personally I believe it would behoove peoples of all shapes and sizes to get with it. The majority of us human beings are being hung out to dry and if we do not step up to the plate on our own, no one is going to for us. Rather, the ones we have left at the helm are sinking the ship. Can't trust em' as far as you can throw a piece of cellophane and the good peoples interests are not at heart. Time to bone up on being real.

The Rose of Treason

The Rose of Treason

Location: The Texas Hillel Building
2105 San Antonio Street (one block west of the drag)
Austin, TX

Show Dates / Times: May 4 at 8 P.M.
May 6 at 9 P.M

Set in Germany during World War II, "The Rose of Treason" is a theatrical performance based on the true story of two college students at the University of Munich who created a resistance group known as the White Rose. After writing and distributing leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime, a majority of its members were arrested and sentenced to death. Fast forward more than 60 years, and the organization is still alive and well and continuing its fight to spread awareness of diversity and tolerance. There is even a White Rose Society at the University of Texas. -- Jennifer Nalewicki

Having seen a few performances from one of the players in the past I'm sure that the entire cast creates a powerful presentation. The subject matter of the play is sure to put some juice in the ol' thinking cap. I wish I could go to the play but cannot. The proverbial capitalist dominatrix has been whipping me lately and I have no change to travel. The show is free with voluntary donations so the only payback the players get for working so diligently is that of full seats and a packed house. Well worth an evening out on the town.

A Good Time

Sleep, Dream & Wakefulness - we are constantly moving between these three states of consciousness each day. But within the material and subjective existence we call reality, rarely do we allow the body and mind to reach the dimension that underlies as well as transcends these three states.

Literally translated from Sanskrit as "the fourth", TURIYA is the pure and most exalted state of consciousness, the merging with the supreme consciousness, the loss of ahamkara (ego), the state of perfect trance.

We welcome you to an evening of trance dance, in communion with friends, nature and the sound of psychedelic trance.

Raining Maggots

If you were there you know what I'm talkin' bout.
GWAR

There's a monkey man up there flippin us off, let's flip him off and lop off his damn head..There is a flippin of the man of the monkey in on here we outside, lascili launch it outside and lop outside of its cursed head. grazie

Now that's a big pit. "You with the red hair and you over here" Devil Driver what a trip.

The storm cometh, raining maggots

If you happen to be in these pics and want them removed send me a profoundly ugly and profane message and I'll take it down.

Unfortunately my pictures of CLUTCH all turned out very badly. There is an entry on this blog somewhere about me doing a pseudo indian wardance on my old cheap digital camera so all the pictures were taken with a cheap disposable camera and it's not very good. Regardless of the pics though, I'd reccomend to anyone who's into this music to definitely check out The Sounds of the Underground tour. It was a hella experience for sure.

Old School Goa

Recently a budro of mine posted up a mix of old school goa that listens and reads like a who's who of the beginning, the roots. It's inspiring and reminds me that I am now in a position to say "I was there when it all started". I was awed the first time he whipped out those crazy records with the mindblowing sounds and psychadellic covers. No words, just pure unadulterated spirit and a deep connection to something unexplored and ultimately completely universal. A journey beyond this world every sunset and an epiphany every sunrise. Early Goa guided me through many trials and I always found solace in it's beats and harmonies. It was through goa that I learned the secrets of the voice of the universe and humanities role in it. It was in those early days that I learned the true nature of the 'ecstatic experience'. Simply, only experience can describe that connection to the other dancers and the fluidity of movement that takes place as one body. It is a trance experienced and multiplied through the body movement. Goa taught me my first lessons in mind/body/spirit connection that actually meant anything and weren't just words upon a page. It was and is now real. Though the music has progressed and exponentially become more technical and advanced it is through the roots by which the tree grows. A big hug and thank you to Mel B for taking me back. He's like an old goa shaman standing there with a twinkle in his eyes inviting you in and saying "hey, wanna try something that's gonna blow your mind" and the next thing you know you're in another world. All the while he's smiling happily, sharing what he has found like a secret treasure, and your life has now taken on a new meaning. One cool brotha. So here's the link. You have to sign up to Global Beatz to get it. It's free.(which btw, tons of other great mixes and talent). PLAY IT LOUD.

Freakquency

Well Benza as well as everyone elses performances were great. I enjoyed the music immensely. The bar takes up half the dancing space in there so it's kind of strange. Also it really has that dingy old bar feel to it in a way. The outside was much nicer with the deck and an open air feel. Unfortunately the weather detracted from that and it was a bit cold to be standing out there. All together it was an impressive show.Although I must admit that the wonders of metabolism,peanut butter,crackers,and some herb played their role in my view of things.

Frequency
