NEWS SPRING 2008

THE GUN IS LOADED

Black Dog Publishing

Since bursting onto the scene in late 1970s New York, Lydia Lunch's confrontational music, art, literature and spoken word performances have been at the forefront of underground American culture. The Gun is Loaded is a provocative journey into the vision of one of America's most fearless and pioneering underground artists.

Infused with her apocalyptic vision of American spiritual collapse and the violence of sexuality, Lydia's uncompromising work has defied categorisation and been largely under-represented in mainstream media. The Gun is Loaded fills this gap, narrating her evolution from No Wave singer and performer, through art-house actor, to spoken word poet and celebrated author. Featuring prose, poems and narrative alongside her own recent photography projects and a visually stunning collection of archive material, The Gun is Loaded is a provocative and powerful book.



TEENAGE JESUS and the JERKS *reincarnate*

Teenage Jesus & the Jerks one time only reunion event!!!!! To commemorate the publishing of NO WAVE: Post Punk, Underground, New York, 1976-1980 edited by Thurston Moore and Byron Coley and published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., the Knitting Factory NYC is proud to present the one time only return of the most legendary of No Wave pioneers TEENAGE JESUS & THE JERKS.

robert mitchell. poet. singer. philosopher.

the eight year old bob mitchell arrived in ny
in 1938 and has lived and worked there ever since.

he died june 27th, 2008 in ny city.


“my story”

i came to a circle of monolithic stone
and dwelt there, in two rooms,
all the rest of my days on earth.

at times i go to explore
but i always return to the space of my own
silence, the balm of my own thought.

angels visit me.
i walk everywhere.

(c) r. mitchell 1995

Your fan club in this office may only have one member, but who needs clubs when you have proven so well the possibility of the almost impossible… sin llegar a decir el tópico “ gracias por mostrarnos el reto asombroso de como vivir sembrando el suelo de los pétalos de la rebelión,” gracias por tu estancia.

Fireflies and summer sun
in circles round
we become as one.
Singing songs at magick's hour
we bring the winds
and timeless powers.
Turning inward, hand in hand
we dance the hearth
to heal the land.
Standing silent, beneath the sky
we catch the fire
from out God's eye.
Swaying breathless, beside the sea
we call the Goddess
so mote it be!
