I love Santa Monica so, so much. Here’s a lovely little documentary about one of the city’s neighborhoods, Ocean Park. (It’s about 20 blocks south of where I live.) BTW, anybody who tears down an amusement park or a pleasure pier should be shot. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

“I believe in some sort of strange fashion that the presence of the atom bomb might almost be forcing a level of human development that wouldn’t have occurred without the presence of the atom bomb. Maybe this degree of terror will force changes in human attitudes that could not have occurred without the presence of [...]

One famous English eccentric examines another. Strange and fascinating little snippet. BTW, here’s the full painting, so crudely truncated by the splash banner: Isis, by English artist Austin Osman Spare: Incoming search terms:austin osman spareaustin osman spare documentaryaustin osman spare paintingsAlan Moore

Thanks for everything, my beautiful friend—there’ll always be a spot in the crook of my arm for you. When we meet again, I’ll be sure to bring something with lots of butter in it.

Prove Violence Doesn’t Work: Do Good In Lennon’s Name This December 8th

This morning I had a great idea: “Wouldn’t it be great if everybody who loved John Lennon and The Beatles did something nice in his name on December 8th? Something that he might’ve done, if he were still here with us…like donating to the ACLU; eating organic (or even macrobiotic) for a day; spending some [...]

Anyone who’s read Life After Death for Beginners knows how complicated I think the relationship is between psychedelic compounds, homo sapiens’ taste for consciousness-expanding, and the US Government. Neither the conventional view of drugs as unmitigated evil, nor the countercultural belief that use of them is a human right, addresses the fact that since 1950 [...]

Lennon Demo from 1979: “I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone”

I’ve always loved the demos that John Lennon recorded during his exile at the Dakota during the late 70s. This morning while browsing YouTube I unearthed this song, which I knew in an earlier, rougher version as “Help Me to Help Myself,” from the famous Lennon bootleg, “Dakota Beatle Demos.” This version’s nice, too. How [...]
