Happy Robert Anton Wison Day!!!

July 23 is Robert Anton Wilson Day. 

Here is a video that I found on the old youtube: 
"Recorded live in San Francisco/Haight-Ashbury comedy club, The Other Cafe, as part of its Comedy Showcase series. Includes a question & answer segment during second half. A humorous and illuminating examination of churches, cults and faiths from around the world by philosophical entertainer, Robert Anton Wilson."

Stormy Weather

Time spent out of doors and in nature is never wasted time and sometimes you get to see something as awe inspiring as this.  Imagine what someone must have thought eons ago if they had seen something like this forming over them.  Small wonder that gods and such are often accompanied by stormy weather.  Even knowing that it is a supercell and how it is formed doesn't diminish the grandeur of such a sight.
 


Goes well with Neil Tyson Degrasse and Etta James

An excerpt from Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception" read by Rudolph Schirmer. Music is from the song An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno.

Drug Addiction (1951)

"...Started by a friend..." It gets real good at the seven minute mark. There really is so much to this propaganda flick.

The New Dutch Masters

This is some of the most original, freaky shit that I've seen in a long time.  Described here as "Renaissance paintings on LSD," I don't think that even begins to touch it.  This is like HP Lovecraft stories by way of Vermeer cross pollinated with Sesame Street, Clive Barker and various tattoo and street artists...then you get to throw acid into the mix...Enjoy.

Beat the Heat

There's probably nothing much colder than surfing in New Jersey in the winter time.  Just imagine the icy cold water as you go about your day today in "THE HEATWAVE THAT ATE THE NORTHEAST!!!!"

"Experiments in the Revivial of Organisms" Redux or "Life Beyond the Dead"

Though I could expound on the Dead for a while, and probably will at one point, my musical interests go well beyond what they have to offer.  A quick scan down any of my musical related posts will bear that out.  Here are some nuggets that I found this morning that spin in an entirely different direction.

Consider the first one an appetizer to the main course...the inimitable DJ Shadow remixing some tune I've probably never heard before, but it's music nevertheless.



 The main course is this mix.  Pretty chill for a hot Wednesday morning.  I wish I was outside listening to this by a pool somewhere, but sadly I'm just sitting here in front of a computer.




And for the visual accompaniment...If the Northeast insists on being this hot, I'm going to look at pictures of hunting cabins north of the Arctic Circle.  Here.

Destination Earth - Oil Industry Film (1956)

Oil and competition are what make America great in this old industry film...
