Pitchfork has a 3:22 minute preview of Moore’s latest work – Unearthing, a spoken word biography of Moore’s frequent collaborator (but otherwise unrelated) Steve Moore. The soundtrack is by Crook&Flail, and the album has guest appearances by Faith No More’s Mike Patton, Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite, Jesu’s Justin Broadrick, and Hella’s Zach Hill.
Dead Fingers Talk is an ambitious forthcoming exhibition presenting two unreleased tape experiments by William Burroughs from the mid 1960s alongside responses by 23 artists, musicians, writers, composers and curators.
Few writers have exerted as great an influence over such a diverse range of art forms as William Burroughs. Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch, The Soft Machine and Junky, continues to be regularly referenced in music, visual art, sound art, film, web-based practice and literature. One typically overlooked, yet critically important, manifestation of his radical ideas about manipulation, technology and society is found in his extensive experiments with tape recorders in the 1960s and ’70s. Dead Fingers Talk: The Tape Experiments of William S. Burroughs is the first exhibition to truly demonstrate the diversity of resonance in the arts of Burroughs’ theories of sound.

Above: Math for Primates co-host Nicholas Horton, who I have previously misidentified as a “professional weightlifter.” Nick says:
Oh, and while I’m deeply flattered, I’m not a “professional” weightlifter. I’m a competitive weightlifter and a weightlifting coach (that is, I coach other competitive weightlifters and athletes).
Sadly there is no money to be made in American weightlifting, so no matter how good you get (I’m not) you’ll always remain broke. Sure there’s a nice sense of continuity there. But, as such, none of us are allowed to use the prefix “professional” in any technical sense since no one is paying us.
EsoZone PDX 2009 is over, and I’m still recovering. Here’s some of the stuff people have posted so far:
Jillian’s EsoZone round-up wherein she shares her own experiences at EsoZone 2009.
She’s shared her outline from her “Radical Therapy for Radical Minds” workshop
Garret Daun has shared a PDF of his “Create Deconstruction” workshop.
Above: a short video from Soup Purse’s workshop on audio processing as invocation and divination.
I have a new single out now on Infictive County Records: “Remembering.”
Still on the tip of DIY art, Neko sends his debut episode from the 2009 Emerald City ComiCon. Nate Powell (Swallow Me Whole, Sounds of Your Name, Walkie Talkie) talks about his start in comics, dressing up as oppressed breakfast cereal characters in his former band Soophie Nun Squad, and why Indiana is such a racist state (and more).
G. Willow Wilson (Air, Vixen: Return of the Lion, Cairo) is asked about the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, flight, symbols, dreams… and how they all relate to her work.
Corey “The Rey” Lewis (Sharknife, Peng!) vigorously discusses his online roots, his online comics par excellence Seedless (updated every Wednesday) and Rival Schools (finished), and where his ideas come from. And the burning question: when will we see him draw a comic by Warren Ellis?
Camilla D’Errico (Nightmares & Fairy Tales, BURN, The Fallen) teases us with a little info about her upcoming project with Grant Morrison (which has, since this was recorded, changed to “The New Bible“). Much gushing, of course, follows. Also discussed: her project with Avril Lavigne, the upcoming videogame she’s working on, the upcoming books, her blasphamous Jesus comic book in high school, her love of manga… and why she hasn’t read Final Crisis yet! Featuring the music of Divorce Chord (Nate Powell’s current band) and The Secret Meeting… plus, some sekrit songs that you may or may not recognize.
And if that wasn’t enough… Lyxzén Suicide tells a joke, “Spider-Man” is asked a very important question, “Stan Lee” says something very NSFW, and more high weirdness.
In this first episode of a three part series, Nick Pell of Black Sun Gazette and Grind House Land infamy turns the tables on Joseph Matheny and interviews him on his own show. They talk about 4p2, The Process Church of the Final Judegment, the John Titor Project is touched upon as well as the sad state of the LHP mileu today. Part 2 to follow in 2 weeks and part 3, 2 weeks later.
